Andy @ #22184: Definitely a good mental workout! (1 year, 1 month ago)

me @ #10899: No, Iron is not our most common element - only 5%. Oxygen Silicon etc are way more, followed by Aluminium. If it said second most common metal it would be correct. Blot on an otherwise good grid. (1 year, 2 months ago)

me @ #42266: Good One - enough red herrings to make you think without being too obscure. (1 year, 2 months ago)

me @ #68535: Very good grid, very entertaining. (1 year, 3 months ago)

PMJ @ #81984: Great counter to the pop music strain. An excellent grid. Nice work! The non-music categories were not difficult, and though I couldn't sort the singers by voice characteristics, I did correctly label them once they were organized for me. (1 year, 3 months ago)

KD @ #81975: I would encourage you to transliterate the Arabic term (Jabal is what google translate says). That's still obscure enough to require a lot of knowledge without being completely impenetrable. (1 year, 3 months ago)

giggsy55 @ #81975: Ditto - very few people would know the Nathan group (1 year, 3 months ago)

clairebee @ #81933: I didn’t catch that until I read the comments, that is awesome if it’s real. Hope the answer was yes. :-) (1 year, 3 months ago)

clairebee @ #81810: thanks, I’ll look it up. I have a hard time imagining Telly Savalas with hair. (only memory of him was on a television show, sucking a lollipop and saying “who loves ya baby?” (Which is another weird thing, where in my brain was that information lodged? (1 year, 3 months ago)

goldenred @ #81980: Really fun puzzle! As a marketing director, I can assure you that Sprite is indeed a brand, no matter who owns it. :) (1 year, 3 months ago)

Movie Buff @ #81810: P.S. for hair Patrick Stewart in ,"I Claudius" Telly Savalas in "The Birdman of Alcatraz" Mohandas Gandhi, in old news reels when he was an aspiring lawyer And Yule Brunner, anything pre The King and I. (1 year, 3 months ago)

PMJ @ #81931: Beautifully done, especially as it didn't need to be concealed from public view. All the categories were marvelous. And thanks for resurrecting a name from the past. That was a crowning move. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #81810: What a banana's of a grid.Wanted to pull it apart, but the I realised I had fun and was laughing, so We'll done you! TY (1 year, 3 months ago)

PMJ @ #81810: That's another puzzle worth solving. I'm glad we finally got it. (1 year, 3 months ago)

OnlyConnectFan @ #81980: not a bad grid - Sprite is owned by Coke so technically it's not a brand. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bob @ #81975: Unusual grid - two very easy groups to find, one about a book I've never heard of, and one that requires you to know Arabic. A game of 2 halves. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Erin @ #81966: This is literally from the New York Times. Not as fun as the first time around (1 year, 3 months ago)

Alice @ #81665: Haha I read them too long ago to remember the details. Lucky that David Mitchell calling Hufflepuff 'the bumbling badger of mediocrity' in a radio show did stick in my head... (1 year, 3 months ago)

Matt @ #81966: This is direct from the New York Time connection for August 29th. While that game took the idea from Only Connect, I'm not sure about simply re-posting what they did on puzzgrid. (1 year, 3 months ago)

RowanG!! @ #81966: nice job (1 year, 3 months ago)

lucczzz @ #81966: This puzzle was so fun thanks for making it! I had a good time and my friends liked it too :) (1 year, 3 months ago)

Sally @ #81953: Using rasp for the awards section was a bit sneaky, instead of using raspberry or razzie, but otherwise a good grid. (1 year, 3 months ago)

goldenred @ #65918: That one was so much fun. (1 year, 3 months ago)

louise from work @ #67645: lol i'll throw you down the stairs KARYN everyone will think eastenders is starting (1 year, 3 months ago)

goldenred @ #67938: Awesome puzzle! I would have had confetti, but I tried forms of entertainment and communication. (1 year, 3 months ago)

goldenred @ #68265: Really fun puzzle! The pronoun ze is quite common where I live and in my professional field, so hopefully folks learned something new. Great red herrings! (1 year, 3 months ago)

anthony @ #81949: a good grid (1 year, 3 months ago)

George @ #81242: Nice one (1 year, 3 months ago)

goldenred @ #68282: Really fun puzzle! (1 year, 3 months ago)

anthony @ #81953: a good grid ,got me thinking (1 year, 3 months ago)

goldenred @ #68297: You made it challenging and I learned something! Some players could be new and don't know that red herrings and misdirection is part of the fun. Excellent puzzle! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #81948: Terry says not bad, keep up the good work (1 year, 3 months ago)

William @ #81937: "...as you state shot putt not throw!" Shot Put is a throwing discipline. As World Athletics, the governing body, puts it in the very first sentence of their description of Shot Put; "One of the four traditional throws events..." That the sport has it's own vocabulary doesn't change that it is all about throwing something. (1 year, 3 months ago)

LdyGray @ #81933: You have to let us know the answer! So sweet. (1 year, 3 months ago)

goldenred @ #69419: Really fun! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Whales&dollfins @ #77137: Not really what the grid is about. Fine to have these type of puzzles within a grid as 1 connection but boring to have it as all 4. IMO but fine if people like these and want to have a new genre of grids (1 year, 3 months ago)

goldenred @ #70617: I didn't make the insurance connection either, although it seems obvious after the fact. :) It's certainly fair, since it is in the US category. (1 year, 3 months ago)

goldenred @ #70750: Really fun. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Gino @ #81917: thats the point, its meant to make you think. elf could feature in the car round, and griffin in the surnames. Im not sure you know how these things work (1 year, 3 months ago)

Cody @ #81934: Bad Chinese English. It's Hot Pot, not hots pot. I'm Taiwanese, so I can see the problem with the English. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Jace @ #81931: fun (1 year, 3 months ago)

Jebbie64 @ #81931: That was a fun one, The Uranus category made me snigger. as to your question, maybe it’s like the pie in the face, only for formal situations (1 year, 3 months ago)

Toby @ #81931: loved it! Made me laugh, that was a very creative category (but then again, I’m a very immature person) (1 year, 3 months ago)

clairebee @ #81932: the puh? (1 year, 3 months ago)

Elle @ #80938: Cinema should be accepted as an alternative to movies (1 year, 3 months ago)

clairebee @ #81920: thanks for posting. Some funny expressions. Personally, when it’s so many groups of anagrams, it becomes too difficult for me to solve, I prefer a moderate sprinkle. :-) but I’m sure there are some anagram lovers here (1 year, 3 months ago)

bemusedspec @ #81920: Took a bit to get, but really fun once I figured it out? (1 year, 3 months ago)

William @ #81868: It wasn't my cup of tea, but that is me being old, not the grid being wrong. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Stuffythebear @ #81928: Great work (1 year, 3 months ago)

HappyMortician @ #81928: What an A+ grid. Such an original idea with the symbols. This is what makes puzzgrid a joy to play. Well done and got stuff (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ian S @ #81906: Thanks. (1 year, 3 months ago)

William @ #81575: "Maybe a bit too America-centric..." "...at least lets avoid US sport." There is an American flag next to the gridconstructors name. She can be as American as she wants to be. (1 year, 3 months ago)

William @ #81915: As for the "81871"-comment. The only thing this grid and mine has in common is one similar (but not identical) category, and for that we shared three very obvious answers (three of the first four answers that most people would think of, if asked to list things sharing that quality). I have two answers not used in the other grid, one of which is used as a red herring. Some categories, say bodyparts or people that share a name, are so general that anybody can use them. I stand by the originality of my grid. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Auntie M @ #81845: Yes! Loved that Chicago herring! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #81769: The H in Nicholas is not silent, it is voiced. With the C, it makes the ch sound as in Christmas, chemist, chianti. You could have used another word, or claimed that the S is silent (as it would be in other languages). (1 year, 3 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #81889: Awful. I love a difficult grid but this is impossible. How can we possibly know your opinion of cartoon cats? Also, the football teams group does not accept football as a group. Awful stuff, hang your head in shame. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Mick Stupp @ #81709: Thank you for the grid. Love the batman references and red herrings! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #81883: This deserves at least 4 stars overall average. Terry gave it 5! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #81883: Terry saw this on Facebook this morning. Really enjoyed it. It took Terry longer than 3 mins so I'm glad I saw it on their first!! Hats off to you!! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Buzz Aldrin @ #81852: Arcadian humble apologies. I hoped they weren't interchangeable I tried to think... Coffee line and traffic wouldn't stop you doing homework. However I guess death of a family member could make you late. Thanking you for this feedback please check out my other grids and here is hoping you'll enjoy the next one with 100% Satisfaction! (1 year, 3 months ago)

A @ #81903: Far too much ambiguity. "Red flag" and "white flag" are also idioms (probably more common than "black flag"). There are red beans, black beans, and white beans. There are red, white, and black hat hackers. There are black and white keys on a piano. "Heart" is more associated with red than black (think playing cards). So even though it was apparent early on that three of the categories were "red, white, black", this hardly narrowed it down at all. I also didn't feel like the idioms with "all over" worked for me, but this might be regional / cultural. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Chris Ditchfield @ #81849: Miniature. Precede. (1 year, 3 months ago)

JonnyRandom @ #81883: Great idea, really fun! The NATO alphabet one is a stretch though, with twenty six options it's too broad I think. Maybe use first four a b c d that a lot of people know? (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bob @ #47791: Fantastic grid, very original! Solved it in the nick of time. (1 year, 3 months ago)

chris @ #81861: Always hurts to see a decent grid ruined by the connections not accepting obviously correct answers. How does things ending in day not accept "day" (1 year, 3 months ago)

William @ #81843: Good call, I added that linking term. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Nick @ #81843: I reckon that you could add 'Primates' to that one group. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Buzz Aldrin @ #81828: Yes good spot on the Pasta Shane. That's an awesome fact, if you can tell me 3 more people you knew I could make that a category. "People that Shane once knew" (1 year, 3 months ago)

weegieman @ #81889: Sorry, way too hard. Zero fun. (1 year, 3 months ago)

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

weegieman @ #81880: Nice neat grid. Not too difficult but scores high on the fun scale, which is what I'm looking for. Good job (1 year, 3 months ago)

Sophie @ #81889: Way too easy Maybe try putting all the clues in Latin 😜 (1 year, 3 months ago)

Arcadian @ #81572: Homophone? Some good ideas here but too all over the place. Some clues have two answers, some one, too confusing. (1 year, 3 months ago)

GridPest @ #81889: Un point! (1 year, 3 months ago)

George @ #81849: Good Grid. Best 2 grids I've seen in a while (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bob @ #81889: Score = 0. Easily the hardest grid I've ever seen. Hats off to anyone who solves it! (1 year, 3 months ago)

George @ #81850: Good grid. Just the right level of difficulty (1 year, 3 months ago)

Sophie @ #81861: Nice grid but definitions didn’t get accepted like “day” wasn’t accepted for may group and “beds” for king group. Maybe could add extra on acceptable answers. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Liquid Ice @ #81572: While I wasn't able to put a connection together before time ran out, I did figure out enough to correctly understand how this worked. Unfortunately, time was running out by then. The idea for this is super brilliant. The solving, on the other hand, could use some more time on the clock. Keep up the good work. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Arcadian @ #81852: Funny but not the most logical. Got two but some of the homework and late are kind of interchangeable (been in education long enough to have seen most of them) and you'd have to luck out totally. (1 year, 3 months ago)

clairebee @ #81810: oh! That’s it! I have two different emails that I’ve been using. Thanks for helping me figure that one out, (1 year, 3 months ago)

SVS @ #81850: I love whenever art history is a theme! (1 year, 3 months ago)

JJ @ #81856: A lot of your answers require more synonyms - green group are all stationary, red group are banking terms, purple should accept “back” without the -, and mani-pedi is less inclusive than manicure. (1 year, 3 months ago)

PMJ @ #81810: You found the reason. @Dez entered my first grid here before I knew about the site. It was posted under PMJ, but he used his email address. That grid does not come up in the list when I click on PMJ of a recent grid. It's the email address that tags the identity of the creator! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Tanya Merchant @ #81854: "Words followed by sun" is incorrect. It should say "words preceding sun" (1 year, 3 months ago)

bemusedspec @ #81861: JSYK, the "may" group didn't accept the correct answer (this might be a problem with misspelling linking terms), and re: the "king" group, I'd recommend considering other possible linking terms than just the one you're thinking of if they're roughly synonymous. Like, Cat - Dog - Rabbit - Weasel could be linked by "mammals," but they could also be linked by "animals" or "have fur" or whatever. Otherwise, nice and breezy! (1 year, 3 months ago)

PMJ @ #81810: You may have forgotten to change the default 'UK' to 'USA' when you set up the missing grids. in searching by clicking on your name, change the country to either 'UK' or 'global' or English, and the missing grids will show up. A grid won't be listed on the default search if it's been ranked less. than 'good,' but that surely won't pertain to any of yours. (1 year, 3 months ago)

I had actually started a kitchen related puzzle, and forgot that this was supposed to be part of that. i’m reading a Bond book by Anthony Horowitz, so I guess James Bond was on the brain. Curiosity, have you ever noticed that some of your puzzles don’t appear? When I click on my name, only six puzzles show up. (1 year, 3 months ago)

PMJ @ #81810: Great categories and explanations. I quickly got the obvious one, for which your comment here further qualifies and clarifies. The Q set is really clever as well. And the OVEN group is one I should not have missed. Very enjoyable, even with a low score to show for it! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Daniel @ #81840: Really enjoyed. I struggled because I thought I found a group of "throne, paws, fowl" for words that are homophones. I couldn't find a fourth and that was with good reason (1 year, 3 months ago)

Boof @ #81825: Perhaps you meant Woodcock? Spatchcock is a means of prepping a bird for cooking - removing the backbone and flatting it out (1 year, 3 months ago)

Superdolly @ #81825: The first references to "spatchcocking" appear in 18th-century Irish cookbooks. It's been said that "spatchcock" is an abbreviation of "dispatch the cock." In other words, to kill the chicken. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Crimbley @ #81704: Very tricky grid there! Heehee I agree it should be grid o’ the month (1 year, 3 months ago)

PMJ @ #81739: Thank you. It means a lot coming from you. And I appreciate those similar comments you've made on the NYT. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Documentalista @ #81739: Brilliant interlacing of clues, this is a standard to which NYT should aspire rather than try and mark their rows easy to difficult… Thanks! (1 year, 3 months ago)

kit @ #81686: Austen doesn’t fit in her group as she didn’t live in this era. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Peggy @ #81547: @Coral. I would think that every time Pokemon is an answer there's at least 100 people groaning and saying 'Oh, not again!' Pokemon is a bit 'niche', as well as being (in my opinion) so yesterday. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Buzz Aldrin @ #81702: Thanks for the comments all. Superdolly big love goes out to you and my fan Sib! Welz, fair comment though not many lakes I've been to have big waves but point noted! Will try better next time. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #81709: A sneaky way of creating a red herring. I do not recall Buono. Cheers! (1 year, 3 months ago)

DrKay @ #81701: Fun grid. But I didn't know what "oon ball"is? (Still guessed correctly.) (1 year, 3 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #81708: Great grid says Terry! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Superdolly @ #81664: Didn't solve but enjoyed it nevertheless. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Superdolly @ #81665: Ah you see Alice you need to read the books not just watch the films, I liked this grid very much because I could solve it!! I did waste time trying to find the 4th extinct animal before I twigged. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Superdolly @ #81669: The names group is really tenuous as any name can be a surname as well; bit of a daft grouping and as for using slang (ass it is actually spelt arse! and ass is an animal) for once I am a bit grumpy! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Superdolly @ #81729: Blooming birders!!! I got one group then waited for the answers then groaned a lot well done great grid. (1 year, 3 months ago)

madeleine @ #81616: @weegieman and @Steve, perhaps this is an American thing. So-called "ancient" grains include quinoa, amaranth, etc., and Ancient Aliens is a pop-pseudoscience TV show. (1 year, 3 months ago)

sib @ #81702: Loved this - you're so funny. Ugandan Airlines -ha ha ha (1 year, 3 months ago)

ColdOnionGravy @ #81705: Definitely sense a theme here, but it feels forced tbh. Two separate fill-in-the-blank categories where it's the exact same word but slightly different categories seems needlessly confusing. Also it should probably be "Talking ___s" for the sake of consistency. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #81704: Brilliant, great grid loved the theme Spotted the plot earlyish, but... Ran out of lives, it was Raft what done for me You win by lots Thanks for posting (1 year, 3 months ago)

Don @ #81718: nice, those acronyms have become words (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ro @ #79336: Nice grid (1 year, 3 months ago)

PixLA @ #81701: "bugs" should probably be an accepted answer for the insects. Pumpkins are not actually vegetables, so I'd include other possible answers, like "things that grow" (1 year, 3 months ago)

PixLA @ #81704: Once I figured out what was going on, it became easy to figure out all 4 categories. I wouldn't have chosen successive letters to increase difficulty -- but it was a very good grid. Nice job, clever. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Hairy Grape @ #81704: This is absolutely fantastic. 5 stars. This should be grid of the month. Keep up the good work! 🥳 (1 year, 3 months ago)

saiyo @ #81704: Nice grid! We were staring at it for a while and only got it in the last 30 or so seconds. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Jay @ #81704: Niceley executed (1 year, 3 months ago)

msicism @ #81671: "Baht" isn't a made-up word. It's the currency of Thailand. Having said that, the homophones rely not only on the non-rhotic (British) 'R' sound, but a very specific British accent. Not everyone would pronounce "Lisa" as "Leaser." (1 year, 3 months ago)

madeleine @ #81686: Thank you for the feedback. The connection is technically “Victorian novelists” but you can argue that Carroll, then, could switch with Eliot. I’ve changed Eliot to Brontë. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #81652: O M G. 5 Star grid if Terry ever saw one, keep up the good work. 2 more of these Terry will write you into his will. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Buzz Aldrin @ #81702: I think this should be an enjoyable grid for 97% of Audiences. Shane, you probably wont like it but you have a vendetta out for me! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #81693: Another good grid. Terry thanks thee for an entertaining evening. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #81699: Terry's here don't fear! (1 year, 3 months ago)

River @ #81693: Great grid, super tricky! I could easily see this one on Only Connect. (1 year, 3 months ago)

goldenred @ #13775: Great puzzle! And I love steamed milk. :) (1 year, 3 months ago)

goldenred @ #14124: Really fun! (1 year, 3 months ago)

goldenred @ #14675: Really fun puzzle! I wish "money" would have worked as a keyword when guessing the category. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Aren karr @ #81473: And “shabby” is a synonym for “shabby”. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Richard @ #81646: I'd replace Shatner with Vanessa or another to make it consistent (1 year, 3 months ago)

Jenni @ #81560: Really enjoyed, lots of red herrings! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Daniel @ #81678: Very good grid. I feel that "can be preceded by a colour" is potentially too vague. If they were all the same colour that would have made the grid perfect in my opinion. The stripes one was a really clever connection that took ages for me to get and it was so satisfying to have got it. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Daniel @ #81633: Really enjoyed this - I missed right on for so long because I'd put wing and behind into right (as in right behind you). Perfectly designed with enough red herrings (1 year, 3 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #81575: Minnesota? Having sport based items is bad enough, but please, at least lets avoid US sport. Otherwise, nice grid, if a tad too easy. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Tim @ #81688: Good grid with plenty of RHs. Didn't accept "super heroes" (1 year, 3 months ago)

David @ #81657: Doesn't accept you only live once or lil as answers (1 year, 3 months ago)

orchard91 @ #81686: This grid is not really a unique solve. Twain can be sorted under '19th century novelists' while Eliot can be sorted under the 'pen names' category. This creates a perfectly correct and legitimate alternative solution to the puzzle, which effectively breaks the grid. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Claire @ #81627: Good grid with good red herrings (1 year, 3 months ago)

Sophox @ #81671: Love the idea but I don't know if you can call a made up word a homophone since it doesn't have an official pronunciation. Who's to say "Baht" couldn't be pronounced "Bat"? Still a pretty fun quiz, very original. 7/10. (1 year, 4 months ago)

goldenred @ #81583: That was so much fun. (1 year, 4 months ago)

ColdOnionGravy @ #81652: Definitely an odd one. Three of the categories are standard stuff, but the fourth stands out like a sore thumb. The actual connection is rather obscure, but it's too easy to clear off the board. Of course the four random names in a sea of common nouns are connected! (1 year, 4 months ago)

goldenred @ #2227: So original... I haven't seen sky, communication, or ace as categories before. Refreshing! (1 year, 4 months ago)

goldenred @ #481: "Parts of the body" isn't an option? Way too narrow. (1 year, 4 months ago)

goldenred @ #357: Really fun! The "knife" threw me off, but I got there. :) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Coral @ #81554: please add "Religion" as an answer for the red group (1 year, 4 months ago)

Davey @ #81554: Excellent.... But pleased to get 10/10 (1 year, 4 months ago)

Stephen @ #81561: As noted before, elements should have accepted metals. SCTV members should perhaps accept "comedians"? (1 year, 4 months ago)

Charles Faulkner @ #78718: Great grid. It's scary that I haven't touched alcohol in any form for about 15 years because of medication, but I knocked this grid off in under 30 seconds. Did I really drink *that* much? :D Anyway, cracking job on the groupings - look forward to doing more like this! (1 year, 4 months ago)

William @ #81428: I've got nothing against cussing, but I do feel that when you do cuss or use controversial subjects, you should go the extra mile to justify it. It seems the constructor made this grid because he could, not because he had some really clever twist that also happened to involve some cussing. (1 year, 4 months ago)

wouzzee @ #81544: Great puzz! Wish it accepted "cities" as the connection. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #81548: Here here (1 year, 4 months ago)

ColdOnionGravy @ #81428: If you're genuinely scandalized by this, I fear for you living in an increasingly swear-happy world. But... yeah, this one's aggressively immature and distinctly not clever. The winky face after the "ice hole" explanation just made me feel embarrassed. Also, the capitalization gives away one of the groups immediately. (1 year, 4 months ago)

ColdOnionGravy @ #81544: As an American, we most certainly use "bun" and "roll". You know... bread. I think "bap" might've made it slightly easier for an international audience in place of one of the others, since it's thrown around a fair bit on Great British Bake-Off. Or maybe not. Anyway, fantastic job with this grid! The capital cities in particular were satisfying to figure out. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Matt Harmon @ #81561: Elements should accept metals. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Candice R @ #81544: The bun/barm/cob explanation doesn’t make sense. It says “used to describe a bun/barm/cob”. Used to describe what? I’m American so we def don’t have this but the explanation didn’t make sense (1 year, 4 months ago)

goldenred @ #43428: I was enchanted as soon as I saw the names of my childhood heroes. The other categories were clever and fun. Please make more puzzles! (1 year, 4 months ago)

goldenred @ #43248: Way too esoteric. Should probably be categorized as fiendish. :) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Mister+Tom @ #81507: They're all fine groups individually. Maybe I missed the whole point of the grid here, but I couldn't see any kind of deception? Still, I guess it's better than waiting for the 3 minutes to be up (1 year, 4 months ago)

goldenred @ #43445: I enjoyed this one. I didn't get the caps. :) (1 year, 4 months ago)

goldenred @ #44114: The narrowness of the categories doesn't really make sense. Band should be an option. Similarly, "noise" or "sound" should be an option. And finally, beliefs or party should be an option. (1 year, 4 months ago)

goldenred @ #41724: Great puzzle. I'm pretty sure folks who aren't religious have watched a tv show or a movie in their lives and can figure that one out. :) And a pry bar, for those who don't know, has the same function as a crow bar. I didn't get that one for some reason. Really fun grid! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Or was it just a comment on the group that caught you out that wasn't meant to be criticism? (1 year, 4 months ago)

mackees @ #81543: - A royal is a member of a royal family, not a monarch. - The puzzle is not 'global', knowledge about Kings being part of New York is local or maybe national. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ry @ #81499: Some very questionable/poor groups here. The DiCaprio group is just silly. No way anyone could possibly link those. The royal titles group is just that, royal titles. Like the DiCaprio group no one is going to be able to link them as the first part of musicians names, it's just royal titles. The hated jobs group is just about ok, I made the link there, but it's also a subjective thing and with it being in there with 2 other groups that raise questions, it's all just a bit of a mess.

William @ #81478: I am a non-native speaker, and I knew what 13 of those 16 things were. With that being said, the best grid only have one or two rows with underscore-categories. Four is a bit heavy, especially under timepressure. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #81478: Hello Steve, Terry Ratball here. Are you sure English is your first language? I'm very concerned for you, may I suggest you book up an MRI? Out of interest did you grow up on a small island, under a rock, with no wifi or television?? Eggs (1 year, 4 months ago)

PixLA @ #81404: Cajun: Juliett in the phonetic alphabet has long been spelled with two Ts, and more recently with only one. I wanted to retain the second T to give a slight leg up in figuring out that group. Will add more explanation though. Thanks for feedback (1 year, 4 months ago)

Liquid Ice @ #81387: Agree with Clob. Fun for the most part, but some categories were a bit out of my brain's reach. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Liquid Ice @ #81391: Scratched my head on the Chvron category. Loved the obvious red herring on the B5 category. Ditto with the Shell category red herring. Loved this grid. Might not be everyone's cup of tea. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Liquid Ice @ #81393: Was on the right track with the others in the category with Power, but hadn't heard of that particular one before. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Liquid Ice @ #81404: Agree with Cajun about Suffragette. Did rather poorly on this one. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Cajun @ #81393: Great bug category! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Cajun @ #81396: nicely done.... had to think on the sticks... 10/10 (1 year, 4 months ago)

Cajun @ #81404: 2 points.... Juliet only has 1 T, and I think Suffragette City is the obscure one that needs an explanation. Had to look that one up. Good grid though, 10/10 (1 year, 4 months ago)

Cajun @ #81425: Didn't know Einstein was born on 3/14... nice grid .... 7/10 (1 year, 4 months ago)

Andrew V @ #70576: Juliet IS spelled with single T in NATO phonetic alphabet! (1 year, 4 months ago)

mojolicious @ #78002: This is just EVIL! About halfway through I twigged it was all going to be Queens and managed to get Liz One, then made all the post-buzzer connections. I'm curious to know if there are alternative solutions... some of those ageing Dames *must* have played more than one of the queens during their careers, right? (1 year, 4 months ago)

E @ #54971: This is excellent!! (1 year, 4 months ago)

mojolicious @ #78004: A little too easy, I think: only four synonyms; only four band members; once you've got those then Palin and Chapman might briefly make you wonder, but needs more 'interweaving'. (1 year, 4 months ago)

mojolicious @ #78005: Ouch. Got countries and fruits, got clothing after the whistle, don't like the names selection. But the 'interfered with Aberystwyth' got me very confused initially. (1 year, 4 months ago)

mojolicious @ #78007: Nice, but would be tougher if the male animals were more 'obscured'; I don't think many people (in the UK) would consider 'boomer' for a moment, which leaves the other four very much in plain sight. (1 year, 4 months ago)

mojolicious @ #78008: Good puzzle; I was *nowhere* until the last thirty seconds when I saw the girls. Would say that the Robbie films group was a bit too obvious? On OC itself I think they'd cut that back to 'last words', ie Squad and Hollywood. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Dasein @ #81417: fun (1 year, 4 months ago)

Dasein @ #81414: Great (1 year, 4 months ago)

mojolicious @ #78010: Nice. Didn't get the -isms but should have done (and might have done had I delayed completing). The repeated consonants doesn't seem very OC, but I got it so I guess it fits?! (1 year, 4 months ago)

mojolicious @ #78013: Nice, but a bit light on misdirection and EW&F is rather niche for the youngsters. (1 year, 4 months ago)

mojolicious @ #81344: I quite like this one. Solved it but have never heard of Wild Duck or Tea Pot, assume I selected a US rather than UK puzzle? But... 'dwarfs' is not accepted as an answer; you've gone with the Tolkienesque 'dwarves'! Also think 'stars' should be accepted; Vicki CM would have teased the answer out of me! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Mick Stupp @ #81190: Lovely grid. Good to be back in the 80s. Never heard of the Moss one or the Pigeon Murderer. Oh well (1 year, 4 months ago)

mojolicious @ #81357: Solved in a minute, but forgot to take time to worry about the 'umbr_' connection! Not sure there are sufficient red herrings here? The drugs and stones both seemed to 'pop out'. I failed to connect the stones (because simply 'stones' fails without the 'names' connection) but I think Vic CM would have teased the answer out of me! (1 year, 4 months ago)

anthony @ #81404: a good grid (1 year, 4 months ago)

mojolicious @ #81378: Only got Dad's Army, and had kinda spotted and was able to connect the BoE guvnors post-clock. 50 Ways is just evil. Completely failed with the Lab leaders (who's Barnes?!). For an actual OC round I think it's a little tough/obscure... once I'd got Dad's Army I kinda had no trains of thought, other than (real or imagined) 'famous Trevors'. (1 year, 4 months ago)

mojolicious @ #81400: I got nothing, but that's me rather than you. Completely forgot about Jodie W; I actually don't understand the Kens; saw the two Lewis forenames but didn't make the Inspector connection and I don't think would have considered John... 'Lewis at either end' seems a bit of a cheat. Other than the six Doctors there doesn't appear to be any red herrings; you just have to hammer the remaining 12 words into their groups?

moj @ #81395: Nice. Was the 'Just ___' deliberate? (1 year, 4 months ago)

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

Micharn @ #81348: A fantastic grid, challenging but enjoyable, I cheated as I only got two of the groups in the 3 mins, so went back and restarted as I really wanted to find all of the connections! (1 year, 4 months ago)

MTKF @ #81348: Fantastic! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Mick Stupp @ #81192: Excellent, great fun! Thank you. Love your use of the country clue! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ry @ #81382: Poor grid. Used Simon twice. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ry @ #81377: As with the other grid, free does not sound like three. Use of 3 groups from previous grid. Don't replace free with won because won doesn't sound like one either. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ry @ #81374: My only issue with this grid is using free in the number homophones group because, well, it's not. Free only sounds like a number of you can't say three correctly. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Dude @ #81377: Entered "Texas Hold'em" and was declared wrong LOL. Not sure if "Free" sounds like a number - "Won" would have possibly been better. (1 year, 4 months ago)

clairebee @ #81373: or “ you kids get off of my lawn“ *shakes fist* (1 year, 4 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #81374: Terry was here. Thanks for a good grid ignore the haters, Terry still loves you. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Cajun @ #81387: Thanks CLOB, just trying some different things... I'll edit the answers for those categories. Thanks for the input (1 year, 4 months ago)

Scott Newman @ #81317: not bad kid (1 year, 4 months ago)

Scott Newman @ #81329: mid tbh (1 year, 4 months ago)

clob @ #81387: did not accept "shuttle" for NASA space missions, nor did it accept "constellation" for constellations. also dunno how intuitive the airport code one is to the average player but it felt like a bit of a silly category (1 year, 4 months ago)

Liquid Ice @ #81308: Looking forward to another Whimsy74 grid! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Liquid Ice @ #81348: I'm not going to lie, I backed out and came back in to reset the timer so I could have the fun of figuring it on my own. Just needed a little more time. Excellent grid. 👏 (1 year, 4 months ago)

Peggy @ #81294: Albums by four different people doesn't make sense. You could just have easily described the group as 'four random things'. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Dasein @ #49709: Easy but genius (1 year, 4 months ago)

Profiterole @ #81348: Love the puzzles-within-a-puzzle approach, looks impossible at first but then a real joy to solve! 🤩 (1 year, 4 months ago)

Cajun @ #81373: Giantic.... and you know Victoria would say "Oh come now, you know I will need more than that" (1 year, 4 months ago)

mal @ #81348: I love these! Easy but fun, and a change from most grids (1 year, 4 months ago)

Dasein @ #81384: Good job (1 year, 4 months ago)

Shane @ #81348: Illogical (1 year, 4 months ago)

Dasein @ #81321: Fun connections (1 year, 4 months ago)

Dasein @ #21280: Little easy but was a fun one (1 year, 4 months ago)

Dasein @ #81351: Really good - that 'Hand' one caught me off guard (1 year, 4 months ago)

Dasein @ #81353: As others have said North could also work for South - Liked the others though (1 year, 4 months ago)

Up @ #81374: Up (1 year, 4 months ago)

Dasein @ #81374: Appreciate the feedback - they're the first ones I have made and didn't realise it would go public straight away:/ (1 year, 4 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #81374: The philosophers were easy and obvious. They are just normal general knowledge. They are certainly much better than really niche subjects like pokemon! However, reusing the other groups is very disappointing. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #81377: Nice. A good mix. Easy but enjoyable. (1 year, 4 months ago)

giantic @ #81373: Gour letter word would also be a valid connection for one of the categories. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Mv @ #81374: Philosophers aren't "incredibly niche"! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Irene @ #28408: Very nice grid! I enjoyed it, thanks! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #81373: Nice grid (1 year, 4 months ago)

Richard @ #81374: You've reused two groups from your other grid, reused an idea and put in a incredibly niche group that surely nobody will identify (although stupidly easy to spot the German names) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Richard @ #81348: Superb as ever, and just for a change I wasn't questioning your parentage... (1 year, 4 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #81348: Terry spilled his coffee whilst doing this, it was great. Though Terry will be changing his linen shorts. BRB (1 year, 4 months ago)

ugh @ #62875: past tense ending with t? come on. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ry @ #80961: Yep, as Peggy says, some poor spelling makes a mess of this grid. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ry @ #81365: Same as David says, you don't book tickets to a hotel. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #81348: Luvvly jubbly (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ry @ #81353: Yeah, south also works for the north group, and the 'first 5 letters of alphabet' group is a real stretch for me. Like that's not really a thing, just something you've arbitrarily made as a group. (1 year, 4 months ago)

SG @ #81305: Great grid, love the clue explanations! "Precede" means "come before", so those are "words that can be preceded by" or "words that follow". (1 year, 4 months ago)

grooop @ #81359: F****** waste of 3 minutes (1 year, 4 months ago)

David @ #81365: You don't book tickets to a hotel. I think the word that you're looking for is reservation. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Kristin @ #81369: Nice, fun grid. 😊 I understand the very specific category for the Ohio group, but I don't think it's needed. Just use the first part of it. (1 year, 4 months ago)

sommi @ #48309: you should allow "zodiacs" as answer (1 year, 4 months ago)

yogurto @ #70699: Sometimes, deceptively simple grids catch me out more than the others do! Great work (1 year, 4 months ago)

yogurto @ #70539: I'm screaming (with happiness) because I knew what all the connections would be but couldn't work out which number Samurai was, so I was clicking away until the last 15 seconds on the clock... Nice job! (1 year, 4 months ago)

yogurto @ #70050: So fun! I entered war of the roses as the connection and it gave it to me, I'm so happy (1 year, 4 months ago)

yogurto @ #72642: Very fun! (1 year, 4 months ago)

yogurto @ #70045: This was extremely satisfying (1 year, 4 months ago)

yogurto @ #70535: This was beautiful. I didn't realise they were homophones for numbers at all, that was a nice touch. And the red herrings were gorgeous! (1 year, 4 months ago)

yogurto @ #71835: This was great fun, I was a bit miffed that I didn't realise the connection was British Bands specifically, but that's the game. Thanks for making it! (1 year, 4 months ago)

yogurto @ #69606: AHHH the christmas ones caught me out, great job :') (1 year, 4 months ago)

yogurto @ #76404: Very nice... I thought for sure that I'd remembered to select strawb rasp blueberry and avocado together as fruits, but apparently not :( (1 year, 4 months ago)

yogurto @ #77524: I liked this one a lot! The types of finishes was a nice touch and I was surprised that I got the selection right on, because I'd still been thinking of makeup/nail polish. Great grid :D (1 year, 4 months ago)

bboy @ #81161: today i learned... (1 year, 4 months ago)

yogurto @ #79425: Nice! (1 year, 4 months ago)

yogurto @ #80961: This was realyl satisfying, I especially loved how the cat breeds one ended up being a red herring for the egypt one- after continually clicking spynx, I learned there was such a thing as a ragdoll cat! (1 year, 4 months ago)

yogurto @ #81113: This was very satisfying (1 year, 4 months ago)

yogurto @ #81287: This was really fun! Caught me out a couple of times before I worked out which one was a red herring for which group :D Total score: 8 (1 year, 4 months ago)

bboy @ #81301: triangle? (1 year, 4 months ago)

bboy @ #81291: thanks (1 year, 4 months ago)

Peggy @ #81194: I third the previous two comments. Plus, the added letter isn't even the same one each time. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Shwick @ #81328: Ham and turkey are both sandwiches and both thanksgiving foods so this grid has multiple solutions. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Shwick @ #81337: You need to accept just "synonym" for a category made up of synonyms. I don't know what words you put in but I could've put down "words that mean upscale," "luxurious," "fabulous" "expensive," "luxe," "costing a lot of money," etc. and been right. It's satisfactory if someone knows they mean the same thing as each other (1 year, 4 months ago)

heatchman @ #81348: My favourite grid so far (1 year, 4 months ago)

bboy @ #81354: Enjoyed this grid (1 year, 4 months ago)

Alexandra+Lewis @ #81355: Excellent 👌 (1 year, 4 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #81348: Nice grid (1 year, 4 months ago)

holly @ #80978: EPIC (1 year, 4 months ago)

clairebee @ #81348: I wasn’t sure what I was looking at or how to solve it. I just sat for three minutes thinking ….ass-pecked? very clever idea for a puzzle (1 year, 4 months ago)

kit @ #81348: I love this type of grid, fun to solve! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Steve @ #81353: The "North" group is equally the "South" group. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Trillium @ #81339: Very nice, but watch your tenses. Keep them consistent within a group. Thank you! (1 year, 4 months ago)

kit @ #81337: Very clever! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sally @ #81346: Sportswear category a bit unfair. most of the words vague (cap, top, jersey) enough that the answer clothing should be enough. (1 year, 4 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #81348: Brilliant - didn't quite get there in time - but really enjoyed it (1 year, 4 months ago)

Fraser Purdie @ #81333: Said Computer, not Windows. Thought that would be close enough. Great grid though 😁 (1 year, 4 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #81351: ha ha - very good :-) (1 year, 4 months ago)

lm @ #81313: The only issue was that it didn't accept "batteries" as the category for the batteries category. Otherwise, solid! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Rossmondo @ #81351: Liked the Hand answers🤣 (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ro @ #81348: Great fun. Just solved it in time (slow to get started)! (1 year, 4 months ago)

MumRa @ #81348: Super grid! Thank you :) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Gogo @ #51130: Fast food group is very American - only two of the group have ever been in Ireland (1 year, 4 months ago)

J @ #81302: Good grid. Kept thinking there was a bands group in there: Iron (Maiden), Stone (Temple Pilots), Green (Day), Queens (of the Stone Age) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ry @ #81339: Enjoyed this. Once you figure out what's happening it is easy enough but still clever and makes you think. Good grid 👍 (1 year, 4 months ago)

William @ #81333: "Did you forget that "Hand" is also a body part?" I see what you mean, and you are absolutely correct. There is a whole separate category of "CONTAINS a bodypart", that I did not think about, when I made my category. I never do "contains"-categories, but only beginnings or ends, so I simply didn't think about it. My bad! I apologise. (1 year, 4 months ago)

anthony @ #75462: a good drid (1 year, 4 months ago)

Trix @ #81339: Daniel, I would take the point. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sophox @ #81333: I've just now noticed where you've gotten confused. Did you forget that "Hand" is also a body part? (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sophox @ #81333: Crocodilly is correct, this grid doesn't work unfortunately. Of course Forehand and Backhand are interchangeable William, how can you not tell? They're both tennis shots and they both contain the same body part. Why wouldn't they be? (1 year, 4 months ago)

Daniel @ #81339: Literally my only issue with this was not allowing "fencing" as an answer for the fence one. Otherwise a genuinely spectacular grid (1 year, 4 months ago)

Jaycr @ #81345: April name and month 😂 I messed up on Cameron 😂 (1 year, 4 months ago)

David @ #81348: Heat was the hardest. Great grid, thanks. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Steve @ #81345: Its a bit funky You shouldn't really have used the duplicate words where if you randomly choose the wrong 'version' but the correct group it's tagged as wrong (e.g. the April & Cameron issues)! I'm not even really sure what the Cameron grouping represents ? (1 year, 4 months ago)

Freddgar @ #81345: Ca has Cameron in it ? You might want to rethink the answer (1 year, 4 months ago)

Jason S @ #80978: I enjoyed that board! (1 year, 4 months ago)

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

Quasarsphere @ #81339: Yay! I like your grids :) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Trix @ #81327: Nice 'n easy. Easy and nice. TY (1 year, 4 months ago)

Davey @ #81302: There seemed to be a completely separate category of red herrings, was this intentional? Very nice grid, either way. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #81327: Clever gridding, well done. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #81325: Straightforward, but well constructed. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #81333: Eady, but fun. (1 year, 4 months ago)

clairebee @ #81337: I was so sure that the Spice Girls must be in there. Devious. (1 year, 4 months ago)

DH @ #81302: excellent fun, can't believe missed one :) (1 year, 4 months ago)

clairebee @ #81328: well, done! You had some great red herrings in there, spider, and knuckle were especially fun Look forward to more of your puzzles (1 year, 4 months ago)

William @ #81333: "Forehand and backhand are interchangeable." How so? Backhand fits in the row that Forehand is in, but as best I can tell Forehand doesn't fit in the row that Backhand is in. Please elaborate. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Crocodilly @ #81333: Forehand and backhand are interchangeable. No unique solution. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Don @ #81333: nice grid with a few red herrings (1 year, 4 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #81302: Terry congratulates William on a fantastic grid. Cheers *raises glass* (1 year, 4 months ago)

Shane @ #81321: Fun grid. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Shane @ #81309: I enjoyed that. Good fun. Thank you (1 year, 4 months ago)

Shane @ #81325: This was fun. I had to guess the Chuckle line. But i got confetti. (1 year, 4 months ago)

clairebee @ #81311: wow, good job! I did badly, but enjoyed the reveal (1 year, 4 months ago)

Billy @ #47285: Beatles was a Noice red herring. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Matt @ #81302: good one (1 year, 4 months ago)

Omegaman @ #80899: Synonyms wasn’t accepted (1 year, 4 months ago)

clairebee @ #81317: loved it! Especially the section on -ville (and I learn some thing I didn’t know about ferrets!) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Gangster Gnu-o @ #81310: Maybe piece instead of yoda? (1 year, 4 months ago)

Gangster Gnu-o @ #81313: A bag is a bag I suppose (1 year, 4 months ago)

Mark @ #81309: That was fun - I liked how different it was but challenging in a unique way! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Gangster Gnu-o @ #81284: nice emojis (1 year, 4 months ago)

Gangster Gnu-o @ #81316: see de gases flooow (1 year, 4 months ago)

bemusedspec @ #81313: JSYK it didn't accept "batteries" for the batteries category, so you might have misspelled it or not provided a linking term that was broad enough. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Peeves @ #81272: Spoilers for categories. I typed "films starting with M" and it didn't count it. :( (1 year, 4 months ago)

Richard @ #81314: Is this some kind of hilarious joke? Absolute waste of time that needs to be deleted (1 year, 4 months ago)

Yoink @ #81311: My first grid, I hope you enjoy! (1 year, 4 months ago)

GridPest @ #81270: Aaaaaaaargh! (1 year, 4 months ago)

GridPest @ #81271: One of those wonderfully frustrating grids when you know what you're aiming for, but don't quite get there ... (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ninessa @ #52474: Wie schön meine Heimatstadt in einem Puzzle zu entdecken. Grüße aussem Pott. (1 year, 4 months ago)

DrKay @ #81276: I was thrown by the towns one also and answered "soccer clubs." But fun grid overall and I particularly liked the "Jane" answers. (1 year, 4 months ago)

IT @ #79733: When typing in the connection the computer doesn't understand English language. (1 year, 4 months ago)

clairebee @ #78718: I haven’t had a drink since 1988, but weirdly, I knew all of these, and got confetti. Nice grid. (1 year, 4 months ago)

clairebee @ #81283: some very clever, misdirection, with pixies and queen. (One thing, it doesn’t accept the word mythical.) enjoyed the puzzle (1 year, 4 months ago)

Didi @ #81288: Well done. (1 year, 4 months ago)

kit @ #81264: Thanks, glad you enjoyed. (1 year, 4 months ago)

kit @ #81286: Tricky and really clever. (1 year, 4 months ago)

clairebee @ #81287: that was a very satisfying little puzzle. I liked the elemental aspect of it, seemed peopled by characters that could be in a fairytale I am really weary of clues that have to do with Pikachu or Pokémon. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #80978: Well made! Thanks for making :) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #81291: Wow, really well done. Thanks for making! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Dan Plant @ #81261: very good - i enjoyed the total red herring group of Nintendo characters (1 year, 4 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #81285: 🤔 Terry believes that at the end where this says "is your grid for a general audience" the no button should be selected. Terry think this would be great to share amongst the gaming community but maybe not for general purpose! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Shane @ #80978: Nice start to the morning. Well done. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #81265: Well Stickers, welcome to the mental world of Puzzgrid, Terry here, nice to meet you 🤝 good attempt and Terry looks forward to seeing more of your works over the coming hours, days, weeks, fortnights, months and years. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Shane @ #81247: Enjoyed this one. Well done (1 year, 4 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #81247: Terry played this grid, Terry enjoyed. Did however the right honourable Terry think It was grid of the day... You wish you could read Terry's mind. (1 year, 4 months ago)

clairebee @ #81282: love the shark category. note- fruit singular doesn’t work (1 year, 4 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #81282: The one complicated category is one I could have figured out if I wanted to think long enough (1 year, 4 months ago)

Jb @ #81274: Mythical is spelled wrong. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #81247: Surprised myself on this one. Fortunately the hardest category for me featured some things I actually knew (1 year, 4 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #81286: I really liked this. I overlooked an obvious category but a really nice grid (1 year, 4 months ago)

mal @ #80978: easy, fun (1 year, 4 months ago)

stockers @ #81285: My fourth grid, based on my area of study and expertise, video games. Tried not to make it too tricky for those who aren't overly knowledgeable on the subject. Good luck gamers, hope you enjoy! (1 year, 4 months ago)

stockers @ #81281: What a trickster! Red herrings everywhere, didn't get a single line, but got all the connections once my time was up! (1 year, 4 months ago)

stockers @ #81284: My third grid! Went for something a little easier this time with only two little diversions. Hope you enjoy! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Profiterole @ #81283: Inspired red herrings, I have to say, that made solving very satisfying 🎊 Keep them coming! 👏 (1 year, 4 months ago)

agtx @ #81117: All these categories were great except "things you break." You can break pretty much anything, so it's not really a useful category (1 year, 4 months ago)

agtx @ #81179: There were some issues here. "Cash crops" is a very squishy, judgment-call type category, which wheat arguably doesn't fall into. The gesture category was very obvious (1 year, 4 months ago)

stockers @ #81261: Thanks GridPest and MumRa! I'm glad my sense of humour isn't lost through the medium of the grid! Well done on the confetti GridPest! 😁 (1 year, 4 months ago)

stockers @ #81265: Thanks very much for the feedback William and GridPest! I enjoy the mental exercise of coming up with grids even more than solving them, so expect to see some more in the future! On reflection, you're quite right, near homophones is too loose, especially if you throw regional pronunciation and specific terminology into the mix! I often find niche knowledge lines in other grids, a reward and a nod to those who have the knowledge or have it on the top of their tongue, and Futurama trivia is my specialist subject! I could easily make a fiendish grid for it with plenty of trip ups, but I'll leave that for another time ;) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #81264: Some things I thought "meh" others had me chuckling with delight. Enjoyed TY (1 year, 4 months ago)

Claire @ #81277: Only 3/10 :1 group and 2 connections. Good grid though. Thank you (1 year, 4 months ago)

Claire @ #81247: Good grid with sufficient red herrings to make me think (1 year, 4 months ago)

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

Jonathan @ #81192: Excellent!! (1 year, 4 months ago)

clairebee @ #81238: cajun- I realized that after I wrote it. That’s why I put a note about being the 3 /4s of the words have a “Pee” connection (1 year, 4 months ago)

EastYorker @ #81271: Fun grid! (1 year, 4 months ago)

EastYorker @ #81262: Thanks Deb! Glad you enjoyed, it was fun to make. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Cajun @ #81233: Missing a hand... great group. Changing to random letters for gym stuff, weak (1 year, 4 months ago)

Cajun @ #81234: Nice grid.... maybe use non-plural mascots (Wolfpack, Bison, Midshipmen, etc) to try and make it a little tougher on your next grid (1 year, 4 months ago)

MumRa @ #81261: Excellent first grid. Had to laugh at 'Sample' though...! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Cajun @ #81238: Easy to sort out the pairs of names (David Mitchell is hilarious). The add P category are also all words relating to using a bathroom. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Flume @ #81255: *stationery Enjoyed the ‘shower’ round (1 year, 4 months ago)

clairebee @ #81221: fantastic, I enjoyed this one. Very clever. (worm made me laugh, in a grossed out kind of way) (1 year, 4 months ago)

spice @ #81247: Three of my anti-specialist subjects lol. Good grid though (1 year, 4 months ago)

GridPest @ #81265: Doesn't quite work for me - too niche in the wrong direction for me! And one group is admittedly approximate. _tang - not in my book! Keep going - really loved your first grid. (1 year, 4 months ago)

clairebee @ #81252: I got zero, but enjoyed the reveal. Rhodesia really threw me off. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Matt Harmon @ #81234: Include mascots for the sports team answer. (1 year, 4 months ago)

GridPest @ #81261: Excellent for a first grid. Confetti for me :-) (1 year, 4 months ago)

stockers @ #81265: My second grid, I hope you enjoy! This one's a little trickier. I was considering going with all three letter words, but thought I'd shake it up. I'd appreciate some feedback on this as one of the clues I came up with are a bit fierce and the knowledge is quite niche, I was wondering if anyone would actually get it! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Trillium @ #81260: Hi BigStu, A suggestion: When entering your connections, please put what the 4 items have in common for the answer. You can flesh out the answer the way you do, which is very nice, but technically the link is just "David", or "famous Davids" etc. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Dan @ #81210: The connections here were tenuous at best. No idk has ever heard of the phrase “to one and all” the doctor who one was impossible even for a big fan. Open letter and open fire are not common phrases like the other two, there were many other groups that weren’t actual answers and taking a letter off for words for buying when there are so many of them and the letter could have been taken off from anywhere is nonsensical. Please remove this grid and refrain from making any new ones until you’ve watched some more only connect. (1 year, 4 months ago)

clairebee @ #81160: thanks all! Found this, a good explanation of why it’s pronounced Sinjun English forenames or surnames which include the the St or saint usually entered the English language from French many centuries ago. Examples would be StJean or StClair. They were originally pronounced the French way - then lightly anglicised to to sin-jin or sinclair. (1 year, 4 months ago)

clairebee @ #81160: hi Don, I think it’s because it’s pronounced that name when it’s a given name, not a surname. (1 year, 4 months ago)

PMJ @ #81122: You're right...that the song was first recorded by The Exciters. That was in 1963. In 1964, Manfred Mann released it version, and I believe that was the one that gained the dominant airtime. In most references, they're listed as the vocal group. The 'obscure references' were to several commenters who post in the 'Connections' subsection of the comments to the NY Times Wordle review column, Some folks are dedicated in solving regular PuzzGrids that I put up here. The categories 'MM,' 'KP,' and 'Documents,' as well as the 'Heather' clue were designed as tributes to them. I know that makes it a rather parochial PuzzGrid, but I think they all got a kick out of it. Are you a commenter there as well? (1 year, 4 months ago)

William @ #81171: "Are you *sure* the rest of the world calls it Cludeo, William?" Oh, now I get it.

Ry @ #81175: Poorly though out grid. The Up/Down/Back/Over group doesn't just work for putting draft at the end but also by putting Knock in front of all of them. Also the 'put money in account' is a very generic thing, and people wouldn't really say they were stashing money in an account, nor would people say they are reserving money into an account. An acceptable answer here should be 'synonyms for storing'. (1 year, 4 months ago)

sib @ #81097: Your marking system is not very good. I didn't get a mark because I put "dog names" and not "Classic dog names", I put "fishing" instead of "Fishing terms", I put "t" instead of "T-" and I had "synonyms for see" instead of "Percieve". (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ry @ #81091: Really enjoyed this. Managed to get it with 2 seconds remaining. Plenty of red herrings, and just a fun grid that makes you think. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #81084: Toxic and abusive, and casual and abusive are interchangable. Not true red herrigns. More than one solution. Needs refining. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Publia @ #81084: I think it's a good grid with some good red herrings/overlap - there are plenty of others to play Shane! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Praise @ #80856: Grids with opposite attributes often benefit from interchangeability. In this case it could be underachiever/overachiever, underflow/overflow, underappreciated/overappreciated, which makes the connections not unique. Pretty cool! Just like the show (1 year, 4 months ago)

millie @ #80847: Literally impossible (1 year, 4 months ago)

millie @ #80996: I put transport. The actual answer? Transports. Transport is wrong. Also, i put pets for the blue one. Real answer?? Pets. PETS. Still wrong. (1 year, 4 months ago)

millie @ #81086: I'm gonna keep this comment extremely nice because youre likely very young. Do not include personal subjects in the puzzle answers. Kindly, no one knows who your dogs are. Perhaps this is fun for you, but do you have to post this to a public website? Not only is this puzzle too personal to be impactful to anyone but you and people that know your dogs, but the answers are iffy too. I put 'toy' for the dog toys answer. It was incorrect. Please keep personal puzzles personal. /nm /srs (1 year, 4 months ago)

millie @ #81068: It is debated whether the caspian SEA is a sea or a lake. I don't think something should be put in a group if there isn't consensus on whether it fits the criteria of the group. Also, most people know it as a sea, as it is called the caspian sea. Perhaps instead you could use Chad, a famous lake in africa, or another one of the great lakes like Erie or Michigan. /nm (1 year, 4 months ago)

Stan @ #81017: Fun grid, but you need to edit the acceptable answers. Entered colour with the American spelling', not accepted. Entered women, not accepted (answer was female), entered celestial bodies, not accepted (answer plante space). Would have gotten 10! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ry @ #80894: As Spaniel says, 2 of the answers in the element group don't even work, and that's before you count the fact it's an utterly stupid, and basically impossible category to figure out. The associated with wealth category is also just ridiculous. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Beware 5G @ #81053: Listen up, folks! Mr. Tickle, yeah, that guy, he's more than quizzes. Ever notice those "arms"? Synthetic, I say! A pawn in the elites' game. Tears? Staged for control! His journey? Fabricated to distract. Wake up! His laughter-inducing "questions" are coded messages, unveiling hidden truths. The arm gimmick's a diversion from global schemes. Each "quiz" is a puzzle, exposing the puppet masters' web. The armless-to-armed narrative? Just another plot twist. He's the jester, decoding reality's enigma. Tears and joy? Emotional manipulation! Don't you see? He's part of it—unraveling society's tapestry while slyly knitting a new one. Open your eyes! The conspiracy unfolds, one laugh at a time. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Mr Tickle @ #81050: Oh, William, sovereign of enigmatic symphonies! Your puzzGrid is an intoxicating elixir that ignites the senses and bewitches the intellect. Its intricacy is a testament to your godlike acumen, a labyrinth of logic that leaves us spellbound. In your shadow, we bask, for you are the sun of celestial conundrums, and we, mere admirers of your radiant genius! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Cajun @ #81033: Sweet... very well done! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Mr Tickle @ #81021: Well, your puzzgrid certainly stirred up a wicked concoction of frustration and fascination. Four languages swirled together like a dance of tongues in a hidden cabaret. Quite the tantalizing tease, though I confess, decoding it left me in a delightful twist. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Cajun @ #81036: Got me on the Japanese fruits... otherwise, well done... 7/10. Nice use of Beatles herrings (1 year, 4 months ago)

Gloop @ #81005: I appreciate the overlap, but I think this one could have used a smoother "in" since multiple categories have roughly similar amounts of overlap. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Gloop @ #81009: Light & smooth but with an enjoyable amount of overlap. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Gloop @ #80753: It was enjoyable, but especially with Pokemon types in there, you could have incorporated more potential overlaps. Felt kinda anticlimactic. Really blazed through it. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Gloop @ #80978: Loved the clever overlaps. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Gloop @ #33156: I think there could have been more overlap between categories to make it more puzzley. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Gloop @ #79036: I think you could have included some more text that would work for the "fictional" band category (like virtual band, character band... something like that) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ry @ #81002: Awful detection for a couple of groups. For the jug/jar I was told I was wrong for putting water, which I can maybe accept even though I'm sure it would be the first thing most people would think of, but to be told I was wrong for my answer of 'phone' for the 'phones' group is just ridiculous.

Peggy @ #80963: It would be helpful if you would add the titles to the Amy group. I can think of two of them, but have no clue about the other two. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Peggy @ #80961: The Sphinx found in Egypt is spelt with an 'i'. When you spell it with a 'y' as you have it's a breed of cat. And niece is incorrectly spelt in the grid. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Peggy @ #80959: Mussel has only one 'L' at the end. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Jenni @ #80883: Very clever (1 year, 4 months ago)

Constructive Criticism @ #80955: The username was a warning... Categories don't all make sense, at least from the descriptions given. Obvious keywords given as incorrect. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Mick Stupp @ #80719: Lovely grid - thank you! A real pleasure (even though I can't spot anagrams) (1 year, 4 months ago)

film buff @ #80943: True, got a few going at the moment : D (1 year, 4 months ago)

Shane @ #80950: Enjoyable (1 year, 4 months ago)

Rob and jen @ #67398: Calm down eh (1 year, 4 months ago)

Rob and jen @ #50247: There once were two people online, Who came for a jolly old time. They didn't know poets, The quiz, they could throw it! They prefer poems that rhyme. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Nick @ #80943: Solitaire was mentioned in the Bond answer but it’s not in the clues? (1 year, 4 months ago)

Rob and jen @ #51876: Fiendish. As advertised. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Rob and jen @ #79406: We enjoyed this one, thank you (1 year, 4 months ago)

Omegaman @ #79554: Doctor is the word that links that group but it wasn’t included so I assume you only included the plural form. (1 year, 4 months ago)

barry @ #80775: good. (1 year, 4 months ago)

barry @ #80938: really? (1 year, 4 months ago)

Easy Peasy @ #80879: I put Expectations, Dane, Gatsby, and Britain together and was perplexed when it didn't work. A search on Google had me wondering why the other word went with this group, since nothing seemed definitive about that. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Est @ #80893: Very good. I didn't get all the connections but enjoyed trying (1 year, 4 months ago)

Tt @ #80852: Brilliant (1 year, 4 months ago)

spice @ #80879: Great red herrings, had me hooked on lots of different baits. Guessed the poets but just doing names but somehow that's how you've got to go (1 year, 4 months ago)

Puddles @ #80879: Demonyms is far too narrow. I submitted European nationals and that wasn't accepted. Otherwise, fun grid! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sally @ #80906: I made a booboo on the juno/augustus etc category - said the link was that they were all roman gods. I mean technically that correct because JC and Augustus were both deified after death but it wasn't what you were looking for... (1 year, 4 months ago)

Gizmo @ #80918: I thoroughly enjoyed this- the ocean/current/tide/wave was a good tactic (1 year, 4 months ago)

Fred @ #80908: Load of all tosh! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Daniel @ #80879: Great grid, but the poet laureate is too vague to confidently be that. Otherwise great combination of red herrings and groups with enough hooks to get into it (1 year, 4 months ago)

Alice @ #80906: Very clever. Enjoyed it a lot. Thanks! (1 year, 4 months ago)

clob @ #80904: loved it (1 year, 4 months ago)

clob @ #80905: is this a duplicate of your other one? (1 year, 4 months ago)

Jimbo @ #80908: “Small injury causers”? really? Nice grid but that’s not the way anyone is going to phrase that connection. And the words don’t just relate to injuries - can all happen to a car, for example (1 year, 4 months ago)

whim @ #80879: This was fun! Expectations, Twist, and Carol are also all part of titles. I'd never heard of a demonym before! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Keith @ #80899: Define sculpture/ statue (1 year, 4 months ago)

amy_evelyn @ #80898: Ncuti has technically played the part, he's filmed ~10 episode as the Doctor already and a very short clip of him as the Doctor has already been featured in a trailer, so I thought it was reasonable to include him. But you're right, he hasn't officially taken over yet (1 year, 4 months ago)

Steve @ #80898: Oh to be pedantic - but has Ncuti actually played the Doctor yet - I thought he was due to take over from David Tennant in the 60th Anniversary Special at the end of this year? (1 year, 4 months ago)

Spaniel @ #80894: A few major issues here. 'On' is not an element, neither is 'Le'. The 'purple' group doesn't accept 'purple' as an answer. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Flanners @ #80895: Great grid, really good mix of subjects (1 year, 4 months ago)

Cheesecake @ #80816: "Stuff" is a loose connection (1 year, 4 months ago)

Superdolly @ #80892: Two grumbles Poultry is not a collective noun and why does drink not get a tick for the gin group? (1 year, 4 months ago)

kit @ #80865: Yes so was I. Excellent red herrings! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Mike @ #80893: I think "gas" would also work for the group with water in it (water gas is a type of fuel). (1 year, 4 months ago)

Corey @ #79768: This puzzle needs to be designed better to accept the correct answers (1 year, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #80848: Nicely done, thanks for making! (1 year, 4 months ago)

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

ThomasLion @ #80889: Yes! Corrected now, thanks Alice! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Alice @ #80889: Nice! But one answer in the Hers group was Bathers, but the card read Fat (I presume as a result of the change mentioned below) :) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Shane @ #80885: @Peggy. Yeah this is silly. NO STARS FROM ME! (1 year, 4 months ago)

jem @ #80879: Nice wall apart from the Poets Laureate group which is way too vague and could be lots of things. Not haters! Just offering constructive criticism (1 year, 4 months ago)

Deb @ #80848: Good grid (1 year, 4 months ago)

Spaniel @ #80871: @A in what way doesn't it work? What could be improved about it? (1 year, 4 months ago)

Deb @ #80878: Liked that one (1 year, 4 months ago)

Spaniel @ #80851: @Charlie Jigglypuff is a pink pokemon (1 year, 4 months ago)

Spaniel @ #80868: X and Y are both generations and symmetrical. That is, this grid doesn't only have a single valid solution. Otherwise, thought it enjoyable. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Spaniel @ #80870: Enjoyed this, but found the LOTR references rather oblique and non-specific. (1 year, 4 months ago)

clairebee @ #80856: thanks for the puzzle! what the previous writer said is helpful- I love red herrings, but when there are too many, it becomes frustrating. More than one of these could fall in both categories, overweight, underweight, etc. Looks like this is your first puzzle, good job- there’s a bunch of clever things in here. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Critique @ #80856: Grids with opposite attributes often suffer from interchangeability. In this case it could be underachiever/overachiever, underflow/overflow, underappreciated/overappreciated, which makes the connections not unique. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Charlie @ #80820: "Wine" not accepted! "Vowel country" not accepted! (1 year, 4 months ago)

amy_evelyn @ #80822: Fun! Only criticism is one I would like to echo from some other commenters - the words that are accepted as hints are a little strange. In my particular case I thought it was unfair that 'soda' didn't give a point for the drinks. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Shane @ #80828: Ann, Michael, Oscar and Sally are all people I went to primary school with. You need to alter your solution to reflect that. Otherwise, NO STARS FOR YOU! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Profiterole @ #80815: Good stuff, got me thinking (1 year, 4 months ago)

X @ #80806: The soft drink brand is not "Doctor Pepper", it's "Dr Pepper". The TV Western is not "Doctor Quinn", it's "Dr. Quinn". That's unacceptable doctoring. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Charlie @ #80800: Very nice (1 year, 4 months ago)

Liquid Ice @ #80775: Confetti. Yay!! The Bowie one threw me for a bit of a loop. LOL (1 year, 4 months ago)

Charlie @ #80806: I also had S instead of Dr. And I put Dr for the first group (Doctor) but that was given wrong. Otherwise a satisfying grid. Mentally awarding myself 10 points. (1 year, 4 months ago)

christo @ #80797: Agree with Sally plus I think a hornet stings rather than bites. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Dick whitman @ #80800: Good grid. If you know you know otherwise hard (1 year, 4 months ago)

Dick whitman @ #80789: Very good. Tricky one this (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sally @ #80797: Parts of foot category is shaky. Only works if you misspell sole as soul and mosquito as mosquitoe. (1 year, 4 months ago)

IJK @ #80792: Not sure why capital letters weren't used for half of them. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Wombattle @ #80771: Tricky! Some nice distractors. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Freddgar @ #80792: Nice and easy straightforward grid Having some in lower case gives the game away though 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 4 months ago)

Wombattle @ #80792: Nice grid, though perhaps a bit monotonous. Did you mean to have only half of the words capitalised? (1 year, 4 months ago)

Frankie @ #80783: Easy and straightforward. Nice. (1 year, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #80778: Don't think I agree there. "Sweet" by itself is not a member of that category, but "sweet potato" is. If the "potato" is a problem (and the only reason I can see that it would be is that it makes the puzzle easier), then replace the whole term with another one. There are loads you could pick from.

Chris @ #60950: Anagrams are not my thing so perhaps not for me (1 year, 4 months ago)

Louis @ #80775: Lovely grid. One minor point, the flower group can all proceed FLOWER rather than be proceeded by FLOWER (1 year, 4 months ago)

Oscar @ #55381: love the board games connection! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Pedant @ #80767: Was Stalin Russian? (1 year, 4 months ago)

Deb @ #80771: Good grid (I said rhyme for group 2) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Jim Nikel @ #80769: Good grid. Got it with 2 seconds to spare. My only gripe is, I think you should allow 'type of stone' for the 'rock' group. (1 year, 4 months ago)

weegieman @ #80749: Nicely thought out, perhaps the violent Johns a tad too vague, but nice idea (1 year, 4 months ago)

Samuel @ #80723: Excellent! I just got it in time after being fooled for a while by Thompson and Knightley! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ray P Lawlor @ #80715: Hey folks... thanks for the feedback! I'm not from London so easy mistake to make... in fact updating it makes the grid even better (if not more accurate of course!)... but actually... adding "Kamal Chunchie" makes the grid even more interesting. Thank you! :) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Charlie @ #80722: Please accept "empire"! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Deb @ #78634: Too hard for my brain (1 year, 4 months ago)

Shane @ #80763: Far too specialized for my taste. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Charlie @ #80763: Too hard for me! I got one or two in each category (and identified all the categories) but just not enough time to solve the grid. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Chilli @ #80744: Lovely red herrings (1 year, 4 months ago)

Rachel @ #80762: i accidently did it too many times (1 year, 4 months ago)

Jim @ #79781: The grid is great Trix, but well within figuring out one unknown clue by a process of elimination! You obviously spent a bit of time on it and it is a cute idea. I was wondering how you could fit red herrings in, but couldn’t think of any. Anyway made me smile- thanks! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Rachel @ #80756: it is correct I looked it up guys (1 year, 4 months ago)

Liquid Ice @ #80756: Nice grid, but needs to check for a greater number of possible answers with the basic correct idea. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Shane @ #79654: I like it when I get them all. Makes me feel good. Thanks (1 year, 4 months ago)

Trix @ #79781: I don't know who left the above message claiming to be me - but it is unethical and not in the spirit of the site. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sam @ #78784: There is a typo. I think bangle should be bagel. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Jebbie @ #80751: Grinder threw me off. ;—) Good grid, thanks (1 year, 4 months ago)

Debu @ #80752: Enjoyed, thanks! Good red herrings. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Trix @ #79781: Thanks all for your feedback. I would change this but I forgot my password. I guess buttery wasn't the best one. Sorry everyone for wasting 3 minutes of your life. I promise my next grid will be better, maybe even grid of the day again. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Louse @ #65743: Incredible grid, thanks. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Billy @ #30038: Very good. Helps if you know UK soaps and TV in general. (1 year, 4 months ago)

MW @ #49709: Unreal work. Not too difficult either despite first couple second shock. (1 year, 4 months ago)

MouthyBroad @ #80742: Didn’t accept “national park” or “adhesive tape” or “cartoon” (1 year, 4 months ago)

Joe @ #80742: Love this one. Confetti! 🎉 (1 year, 4 months ago)

Joe @ #79781: Not a fan of this one. Not much of it made sense. The clues seemed too esoteric. (1 year, 4 months ago)

X @ #80730: But "herbs" is the connection, and it's the prima facie connection, without which they would be excluded from the song. No one has the power to deny that connection. Repent! (1 year, 4 months ago)

mal @ #79781: I guess the ppl making snarky comments about not understanding pastry don't get that shortcrust pastry is MUCH LESS fatty ( buttery) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Charlie @ #80716: Nice grid. Lanzarote is misspelt and Beckett needs a capital letter. (1 year, 4 months ago)

alewishus @ #79475: This is a nice one, but "synonyms" should be a valid answer for any clues that are... well, synonyms. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Deb @ #79723: Enjoyed thanks (1 year, 4 months ago)

Samuel @ #80713: What happened to the puzzle numbering system? (1 year, 4 months ago)

Joni @ #79787: Lovely grid. I’m certainly impressed. Thank you Thom (1 year, 4 months ago)

clairebee @ #80736: thanks sally, I debated that one whether I should use Nessie or not, but I felt that it was a little bit of a clue to have the word monster in there. (1 year, 4 months ago)

clairebee @ #80726: Hamilton was a clever red herring thanks for a good puzzle (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sally @ #80736: Maybe change it to just Loch Ness, none of the other monsters have the word monster in the clue. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Samuel @ #79781: I guess a lot of you don't know anything about making pastry. The fat ingredient, often butter, is called shortening. And pastry made this way is often called shortcrust pastry. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Toby @ #80736: very clever twist. TY (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sally @ #80730: Thing is, if you had picked herbs as the connection, Scarborough Fair wouldn't have been a link option. It feels a bit mean-spirited not to allow it. (1 year, 4 months ago)

clairebee @ #79777: thanks fi , I wanted to make it challenging, but not annoyingly hard, sometimes using caps/helps with that (1 year, 4 months ago)

Charlie @ #80733: Consider accepting box/boxing for the punch one (1 year, 4 months ago)

Lester Smith @ #80730: I feel that as they are all herbs that should be a valid connection. It does connect them all (1 year, 4 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #79781: Hey Trix, Terry loved this but if Terry may make a suggestion, the buttery one is not great! I would maybe swap for "alcoholic liquor drink" these are called shorts for example or abreviations being shorthand, Terry thinks this would be great!! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Trix @ #79781: Yes. The butter provides the shortness ie crumble. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Mark Andrew Perrett @ #80720: Lanzarote is spelt wrong You have spelt it Lanzaroe (1 year, 4 months ago)

Alison @ #74422: Vain or Vane would work and the other one works in Ireland, but not Scotland. (1 year, 4 months ago)

fi @ #79777: The joy of pure luck!!! I did not have a clue about kosher foods, just picked foods then noticed second group and got the last one by use or none use of capitalisation. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Peggy @ #80723: Very clever. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Chris @ #61003: Sort of wonder whether vitamins and minerals is really two categories. (1 year, 4 months ago)

mushroom @ #79672: The guile group answer was weirdly specific (1 year, 4 months ago)

Chris @ #61060: All seemed fine to me (1 year, 4 months ago)

Chris @ #61074: Thought the artist category was fine (1 year, 4 months ago)

spice @ #79781: Might be a lack of knowledge on my part but not sure how buttery=short. I guessed it based on maybe "shortbread", which has butter in it, and the other clues in the category, but as far as I can tell the "short" in "shortbread" refers to its crumbly texture not its butteriness. Enjoyable grid all the same (1 year, 4 months ago)

Richard @ #79781: Could someone explain buttery? (1 year, 4 months ago)

Richard @ #80725: Your answers are weirdly specific..... (1 year, 4 months ago)

Alice @ #80719: Like it when there are anagrams, and some nice crossover options too. Thanks :) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Samuel @ #79640: I looked up withe and it is a word for a willow stem, like withy. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Alice @ #80714: Nice grid! But it should accept printer ink colour wheel as an answer for that category. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Mv @ #79786: Haha- "gents" (1 year, 4 months ago)

Alison @ #79768: It’s not accepting the correct answer in the Madison group (1 year, 4 months ago)

Peggy @ #80715: You need to be slightly clearer with your meaning of the 'City Hall, London'. If you're referring to is as a place of governance then the Greater London Authority are no longer in the building commonly known as 'The Beehive' near Tower Bridge. The GLA completed the move to a new building in Kamal Chunchie Way, E16, in 2022. See London City Hall (Newham) and London City Hall (Southwark) on Wikipedia. (1 year, 4 months ago)

J @ #44800: Why do a UK wall if you're going to whinge about UK centric connections? (1 year, 4 months ago)

Cnc @ #80714: The connection for the colours category should be based on printer ink! This would differentiate it from the green category as well. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sally @ #80714: Forest in this context only has 1 r. (1 year, 4 months ago)

William @ #79806: Thank you Aeon, that was a pretty bad miss on my part. I've added it. (1 year, 4 months ago)

AeonMach @ #79806: Nice. (PS I think the distances connection answer should accept *Imperial* units…) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sue @ #79783: Lovely selection, with lots of red herrings. (1 year, 4 months ago)

A @ #44800: Absolute genius this one, some real crackers of red herrings. (1 year, 4 months ago)

AeonMach @ #79732: Not bad! But I think the answers should explain some of the clues better: eg that *1600* Pennsylvania Ave is the address of the White House. (And the population of an obscure town in NJ was clearly a poor filler!) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Deb @ #78517: Enjoyed - got half right (1 year, 4 months ago)

John Cooke @ #80075: I enjoyed that! (1 year, 4 months ago)

IanB @ #80075: @SM Brown also fits bears, but that's part of the game, having a few things that can fit multiple categories makes the grid more challenging to solve. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Twiligh Skies @ #79740: Didn't like that Nike, Puma, Adidas and Reebok, were described as shoe manufacturers. They are sports brands, that do more than make shoes. I felt like this then loss me to get a full score, as it was an incorrect way of describing the subject (1 year, 4 months ago)

A @ #33156: Agh, I was so annoyed it wouldn't let me have "moons" with super, blood, locust and iron! That would've been a much better link. Well played. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Fungrids @ #79761: I think this quiz could be helped by changing the flag, it’s down as a UK grid, but doesn’t accept the UK spelling of Doughnut, refers to a jelly doughnut rather than a jam doughnut, and I think the euphemisms for number twos/poos don’t sound British to me.

PMJ @ #79619: I don't know why SUBSTITUTE wasn't accepted. It was coded to accept both SUBSTITUTE and SUBSTITUTION. And I just tried it before going in to add some additional code. It worked. Perhaps you misspelled the word as you entered it. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Karla @ #79566: Three great categories and the one category was just way too out there (Smee?) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Puddles @ #79625: Nice grid! However, those are books of the OLD Testament (1 year, 4 months ago)

Karla @ #79582: Too niche for me. (1 year, 4 months ago)

fleur @ #79619: Substitute was not accepted for the obvious group. You might want to add it. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Karla @ #79587: Fiendishly difficult! Wow! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Karla @ #79593: You did it again. So close to a beautiful grid, but with a wonky category thrown in. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Jonathan @ #79620: Enjoyed this one, thanks! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Karla @ #79595: Almost perfect but who is going to know the streets in Aurora??? Everything was great to that point. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Karla @ #79604: Very interesting! (1 year, 4 months ago)

PMJ @ #79619: They were. I was too old to have Children's Television Workshop in my childhood, but my son--then almost right out of infancy--and I would regularly watch Sesame Street and The Electric Company. With Electric Company, we often watched in the morning and then the same episode again in the late afternoon. He learned so much, and I enjoyed the humor and spirit...and caught the occasional 'adult' joke or reference. Very sly of the writers and producers to hook parents as well as kids. Sponsorship by numbers was a brilliant idea, as was the exercise on 'which of these things doesn't belong?' The latter was, in a way, a forerunner of PuzzGrid,. And there was much, much more. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Karla @ #79605: Almost a perfect grid. Would have loved all four to be color categories. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Karla @ #79607: Loved the "ant" and "news" groups. The others didn't really work. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Karla @ #79619: Smacking myself in the head for not remembering the Sesame Street gang. Those were the days! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Monkey @ #79607: Trans grouping is awful. Like Kristin and Andperr said, the spellings are all wrong and only one of the four works as an answer. (1 year, 4 months ago)

PinkTea @ #79602: @scouse mouse Fair point, grid has been edited. Thanks for the feedback! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Richard @ #79574: Fantastic. I couldn't get beyond thinking January 6th was Insurrection! (1 year, 4 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #79602: cheesecake cake? Think that clue should be cheese. Nice grid though apart from that (1 year, 4 months ago)

Hairy Grape @ #79608: Absolutely brilliant. This is not only grid of the day material, but grid of the week. Perfect puzzle that links in such as this! Bravo again! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sharon @ #79586: Cation? (1 year, 4 months ago)

Fairy @ #79559: As said before - tweak your explanation to the answer for flags. You are likely to cause huge offense there! You could use British isles, teams that complete in the 6 nations? Also complementary colours are also opposites (1 year, 4 months ago)

Hannah @ #79603: There’s a spelling mistake (1 year, 4 months ago)

Fairy @ #79542: I'm not too such about the one where animals are found. If your swapped out shelter it could be animal habitats. But then it would take away the rolling stones red herring (1 year, 4 months ago)

LIquid Ice @ #79565: Deja vu!! GMTA. Lots and lots of fun. (1 year, 4 months ago)

LIquid Ice @ #79594: This one had me smiling from the get go with the category that had the Ferengi. Thought the connection on the ship one was going to be air. (1 year, 4 months ago)

clairebee @ #79604: when I finished this, I thought, “the puzzle maker must’ve spent a long time working on this.” :-) A similar idea to today’s puzzle of the day, I enjoyed both of them. (1 year, 4 months ago)

LIquid Ice @ #79606: Yay, confetti!! (1 year, 4 months ago)

LIquid Ice @ #79595: So close to confetti. Just wasn't familiar with the one place, so couldn't get the connection. Otherwise it was great fun. Had 19 seconds left at the end, so it was a nail biter. (1 year, 4 months ago)

LIquid Ice @ #79596: I think the four letter abbreviation would have been nice to check for on the one. 🐢 (1 year, 4 months ago)

Liquid Ice @ #79604: I spent several days finding good words to go around the blanks, so that the blanks would have a deeper meaning when combined together. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #79287: Come on KOBold, this really is a poor effort. Terry doesn't even know where to start. (1 year, 4 months ago)

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

M.mouse @ #79589: Please accept receptacles (1 year, 4 months ago)

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

Documentalista @ #79581: This was tough, could recognise the tv characters and the S&G relationships post facto, but I preferred the Rolling Stomes to the Beatles so that was a no way I’ll see that 😀 Still enjoyed it as a 60s romp! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sue @ #79511: Toto was a really good red herring! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Toferino @ #79559: Which is why it states on the cover of the UK Passport, "The United Kingdom of Great Britain AND Northern Ireland". Interestingly this excluded the multitudes of islands that make up the UK. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Toferino @ #79559: Green, white and orange, as a flag of Great Britain? I think the Irish might have something to say about that!! The Republic of Ireland is part of the British Isles (which is a geographic reference, not political), Great Britain is the main island of the British Isles that comprises England, Scotland and Wales. A very important distinction. (1 year, 4 months ago)

clairebee @ #79518: fun idea for categories. One thing, as said, before, rulers might work better than queens, Catherine the great wasn’t a queen, but an empress, which is a bit higher than a queen. also, politician might be a good addition. Thanks for the puzzle! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Peggy @ #79534: Think of the username of the person who made this grid; add in current politics, and you may get the drift of the grid. Prepare to waste three minutes of your life you will never get back. IMO. (1 year, 4 months ago)

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

Kat @ #79237: An awful typo ridden nonsensical grid. Utter waste of time. (1 year, 4 months ago)

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

Fairy @ #79114: Good grid. But the connection definitions let it down. As the grid is defined as British then British spelling should be used. The advice on using the shortest form or routeof the word really helps as fruit and fruits are both correct. (1 year, 4 months ago)

PMJ @ #79031: A nice challenge for well-read movie/concert goers. George Harrison I knew to be connected with "My Sweet Lord," but the 'God' seemed wrong--it's not in the song's lyrics to my knowledge--so that threw me for placing the item. Can't you just drop the 'God'? (1 year, 4 months ago)

J @ #79040: I second Terry Ratball's comment. The concept was there but most of the links were tenuous or far too obscure, if not non existent. (Never heard of a screw fix, but maybe I'm just not familiar with that phrase?) Do please make another, though! You're definitely on the right track! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #79040: Terry really loved the concept. But it does leave a bit to be desired. 1) would be nice to see the answers fully written out such as in the birds category. 2) some very tenuous links such as Diana Prince and Prince Charming - I assume this wasn't the beloved princess Diana, but maybe the not so beloved Diana Prince from the pornography channels. Terry did however enjoy the grid and the concept, please do make another one of these one day, Terry would love to come back and rate 5 Star! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ed4 @ #79040: A 2-stager. Looks like a good grid to take offline and try without a time limit. Some of the references are perhaps too obscure. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ed4 @ #79031: Wasn't sufficiently familiar with enough of the references to do well on it, but liked it anyway. Just about the right amount of obfuscation. (1 year, 4 months ago)

KObold @ #79031: Thoroughly disenjoyed. If I was smart enough I would build a time machine and go back to 3 minutes before doing this puzzle and NOT click it.

Peter stubbs @ #78981: Great wall... Only cracked it when I realised the Trump placement! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Peter stubbs @ #78993: Great board, thanks (1 year, 4 months ago)

PMJ @ #79010: I can and will. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Tim P @ #78982: Also for the homophones category, removing the first letter forms other words. (1 year, 4 months ago)

PMJ @ #78990: I thought the LAB category was fine. But the DRY category is a bit messy because two connections are both distinct two words combined as a usable phrase (DRY ICE and DRY SPELL), one is is an attributive adjective + a noun (DRY WINE), ant the final one is a single compound word (DRYWALL). I'd say its a great first attempt! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Peter stubbs @ #79000: Descriptions WAY too prescriptive! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Dilophosaur @ #79010: Pleased to say I got all of these. Albeit the countries I didn't specifically think of having blue and white flags. Only feedback, are the capitals needed? and can you change to USA and Cayman Islands? (1 year, 4 months ago)

Z @ #79018: Good grid! Fun categories. For the brilliant category the answer of synonyms doesn't work (1 year, 4 months ago)

Dilophosaur @ #79020: Good Quality, Good Round up! Easier one for a change! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Fairy @ #78980: This would have been a 5* for quality as I loved the homophones group. So original and funny. The order group was great too. But I had to dock one for Harry Potter. The shame! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Cajun @ #79010: If anyone gets the Fahrenheit one, I'll be impressed! Nicely done (1 year, 4 months ago)

Zafrie @ #78988: A toughie!! But enjoyed it (1 year, 4 months ago)

Garmonbozia @ #78088: 'Genre' should maybe be added to one of the lines. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Dannyj999 @ #78990: This is my first grid. I'm still getting a feel for what connections are "fair" and what are kind of a stretch. Why was the lab grouping questionable? I didn't know if Dexters Laboratory was a cheat because it isn't commonly referred to as "lab" the way a Chemistry lab would be. Chocolate Lab could also be a stretch but I liked it as a red herring for White Chocolate and Chocolate Chip. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #78999: Cheese-us Christ! How could Terry have missed that one! Nicely struck. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ibzy @ #79003: test comment (1 year, 4 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #78084: I guess technically it is Centre but they are all rugby positions, I liked the grid and It didn't spoilt it for Terry. Worldwide even in the USA it is spelled Centre when talking about sports positions just as an FYI. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #79000: Big congrats on being the 7900th puzzle on Puzzgrid. Decent grid, good Herrings. This one gets Terry's wave of approval! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Alison @ #78864: ☝️likewise (1 year, 4 months ago)

Bathfood @ #78994: Me too. The meaning of the word as-written has nothing to do with the connection, which throws me. And even a four-letter word has over 100 permissions. Thoroughly acceptable, they do it on the show all the time. But it's not my favourite. (1 year, 4 months ago)

gergo @ #79003: (1 year, 4 months ago)

bert @ #51811: shame "the chase" isnt accepted - but ho hum (1 year, 4 months ago)

Arcadian @ #78996: Good enough grid but the connection for the films needs to be broadened out (a suggestion to improve this). And just maybe having a name along with words (for heart) is a bit confusing. (1 year, 4 months ago)

PacmanPaul @ #78994: I always struggle with the 'change a letter' ones. (Not a criticism, just an observation.) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Rose @ #78981: Thought the Warsaw etc group was connected by being cities named in pacts/treaties if this is something you would consider adding. Also didn't get credit for 'hidden measurement words' Good fun though (1 year, 4 months ago)

Shane @ #78977: I liked this. Fun to play. Well done (1 year, 4 months ago)

Shane @ #78981: This was fun. The walls got me. But i enjoyed it. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Shane @ #78979: Another good grid. No silly clues, good general knowledge. Fun to play, which is the point really. Well done. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Shane @ #78935: Yes, good grip, fun to play and sensible general knowledge clues - I am so sick of Pokemon, X-men and soap characters. Well done. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Exelixium @ #78985: It should've accepted my answer when I said "writers who committed suicide." Still got 9 points. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #78987: Terry thought this one kinda "dragged" (1 year, 4 months ago)

Caitlin @ #78981: I loved the wall connection, very clever! I found the hidden measurements but my connection wasn’t accepted- I think you misspelled the word measurement in the explanation! Should be an easy fix. Thanks for the fun puzzle! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Liquid Ice @ #78986: Good fun. Thanks! 😊 (1 year, 4 months ago)

Bob Dole @ #78970: Loved it! Bob Dole approves. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Moondog @ #78975: So clever. I got the 'dis' words and the Lewis Carroll inventions. I even managed to imagine Pictionary from dicture, but completely missed the rest of the group and failed miserably on the reverse movie titles. I regret the reversed portmanteaus most. I might have been able to see that if my brain was fully engaged with my senses. Oh for a few more minutes, or a few more braincells! (1 year, 4 months ago)

clairebee @ #78981: very clever connection. Got everything except for the connection of the flounce set, those kind of things words within words always elude me (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sophrosyne @ #78982: Tough one! Though I believe you mean “homophones” and not “homonyms” for the relevant category. :) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #78976: Cape town? A bit obscure? (1 year, 4 months ago)

Peggy @ #78972: I thought this was an very clever grid. Though not that keen on the 'young and keen' group because I've never heard of any of them. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #78957: Nice. (1 year, 4 months ago)

clairebee @ #78970: The Erie one was clever. You could also create a spooky version by ADDING a letter Eerie, scare, grovel, and abet :-) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #11: Wow visiting the archives here, Terry got 2 groups and then got stumped. (1 year, 4 months ago)

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

KObold @ #78930: Slightly disappointed with myself, I'm glad it doesn't feedback players performance to the grid creators (1 year, 4 months ago)

KObold @ #78939: Great grid, can't fault it. Thrown off my many a red herring I was thinking money and water etc. Do agree mascu could be replaced as it's not a standalone word maybe by "credit" "clothes "border" "bread" or "front" for example! But thanks for making (1 year, 4 months ago)

KObold @ #78929: I can't say it was for me, a little tooooo niche. However for the right audience I can see this working. I won't be shaking your hand as that knowledge was not there. I think I'll stick to puzzle building! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Don @ #78898: nice (1 year, 4 months ago)

PacmanPaul @ #78939: Hi Steve. Thanks for the feedback. The idea was that they were all one-word answers, not two words, so that was meant to be the easy one that gave the group away! But I can see how it could be confusing in hindsight. Doing grids is harder that it looks. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Lynne @ #78893: Great grid! (1 year, 4 months ago)

emma @ #78917: Agree about the countries. Also, how is cold a synonym for cold. I said adjectives relating to low temperatures and got marked as incorrect. Also, I said that the purple group were towns/cities in the USA - which they are - and I got marked as incorrect. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Bathfood @ #78898: Very very enjoyable. Thanks! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Bathfood @ #78899: I didn't think they were too obscure (maybe cow...). Some might argue that Ox and Wood can be swapped, but I think it's just about ok. 👍 (1 year, 4 months ago)

Steve @ #78939: Not really sure you should use "Mascu" as it doesn't have any standalone meaning ? (1 year, 4 months ago)

Bathfood @ #78899: Fun! I spent ages chasing Chinese-Zodiac and rivers. Thanks for posting. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Bathfood @ #78908: A bit hit-&-miss for me. I'd not heard of the Elysium thing, so enjoyed finding out about it, but the Duck is quite obscure these days (47 years later). More importantly, Elysium can be swapped with Heaven (equally obscure), so there isn't a unique solution. Nice ideas though. Thanks! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #78921: Concept is good - so points there for you. However Moscow and London are both a Capital City and have hosted the Olympics so this means the grid has another solution. I would say a lot of cities have an NBA team, but I guess it works just doesn't get Terry excited like the other categories do. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #78920: Very easy agreed, but enjoyable - we need a good mix of Fiendish and Very Easy thank you for providing Terry - and Puzzgrid with such a grid. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Oddun @ #78903: Got one set just by tapping lol What language is this? Urdu? (1 year, 4 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #78903: This was really tough. I haven't seen any of them words ever! I thought maybe anagrams... Hidden words... But honestly truly stumped. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Chris @ #63426: Was very happy when I realised I could add ‘at’ to make new words. Thanks (1 year, 4 months ago)

wgaryw @ #78884: Sorry if that was unreasonably tough. . . this was my very first attempt at making one of these puzzles and I had plenty of reservations myself whether that one grouping was too out there. Thanks for the feedback, John! :) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Freddgar @ #78894: Neatly done, easy enough, but could be tricky @ Don, maybe the TV show ?? 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 4 months ago)

Don @ #78894: nice, that should be heart not hart? (1 year, 4 months ago)

bepuzzled @ #78838: Hey b! Sorry you didn't like the category choice. I'm not remotely into drugs either, but I thought all of these were pretty well-known slang names even among us wholesome types :-) (I've seen all of them come up in The Times cryptic crossword, for example!) It never occurred to me that anyone would find these terms offensive, sorry. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sophox @ #78890: Nice one! I did one similar not too long ago but replaced borrowed with "boroughs" for mine haha (1 year, 5 months ago)

Claire @ #78855: Good fun grid but not too difficult (1 year, 5 months ago)

pfaurenz @ #78890: Great grid!! I got the Borrowed connection just because I got the theme of the grid after the first three. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Liquid Ice @ #78855: I didn't have a problem with the wind storm idea that some of the others have mentioned. My concern is that instrument was not a correct answer, when it's right there in the given answer. It can be edited with the link that was emailed. Just add a comma and instrument. (1 year, 5 months ago)

JonBob @ #78865: Nice idea! Sadly non-unique, because at minimum MI and IN can be swapped. It's hard to get a unique solution on minimalist grids like this, because they are so open to interpretation. (1 year, 5 months ago)

b @ #78838: I'm not into drugs, so I'm not into slang names for drugs. Can you not find a more uplifting wholesome topic for your grid? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Hairy Grape @ #78868: Thanks for the comments. Enzed, I would say crane is more commonly a noun rather than a verb, but you got it correct! Oddun, hopefully Gadzooks is a positive comment! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Superdolly @ #78864: Agree Richard especially the repeated words (1 year, 5 months ago)

acewoking @ #78847: two "add/remove" letter ones was boring. And having 7 Dinnerladies characters was unfair (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #78835: Really good grid. Nice variety of groups, and fun links, with nothing too obscure. My one quibble is that ticks are arachnids, not insects, and 'arthropods' didn't score the point. (1 year, 5 months ago)

weegieman @ #78865: Excellent, well thought through and fun to solve, well done. (1 year, 5 months ago)

anonymous @ #78813: grid doesn't work because both gun and plant can be preceded by both air and water (1 year, 5 months ago)

Brett @ #78865: If neither 'road' nor 'street' works for a category which you say "All are abbreviations for roads and streets" then I'm baffled as to what we were meant to enter (1 year, 5 months ago)

KObold @ #78860: Cool. Too difficult for me though. (1 year, 5 months ago)

KObold @ #78867: All in caps is never good, Family is spelled incorrectly, however I loved it and have rated it as so! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sophrosyne @ #78868: This one made me smile! I got all the categories but somehow grouped them successfully by the wrong connection… (1 year, 5 months ago)

lopez @ #78867: should fix "fanily" to family. Edit needed for the minor spelling mistake, but overall gret grid. I enjoyed it (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sophrosyne @ #78792: There are other humor herrings as well, just in case that connection occurred to folks first. Thanks for playing & for your feedback! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Evolve @ #78865: Kudos! I usually hate these 1 or 2 letter grids, but this was fun to decipher. I should've gotten 10 points but missed one point because it did not accept "streets" (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard @ #78864: Tuck group can also be diving. Also didn't take repeated words (1 year, 5 months ago)

Haverwench @ #78792: Phlegm for humor was very shaky. All the others went with the *word* humor, and not even with the same sense of the word. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Haverwench @ #78784: Ha, rings or O's. Cute. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard @ #78213: Nice (1 year, 5 months ago)

meowmix @ #78865: "road" did not work (1 year, 5 months ago)

Liquid Ice @ #78805: Nice grid. Definitely deserving of Grid of the Day. (1 year, 5 months ago)

clairebee @ #78863: dang! that was fiendish. One note, for those who are interested in this kind of thing, suet is actually something very specific, it’s the fat around the kidneys on cows and sheep. Tallow is the rest of the fat, and lard is the fat from pigs. Leaf lard is the fat that is around pigs kidneys. And chicken fat is schmaltz. (1 year, 5 months ago)

clairebee @ #78865: very, very clever, thanks (1 year, 5 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #78865: Well if this doesn't get grid of the day I don't know what will. Even maybe grid of the week. Very unique concept, pleased to say I did figure this out and fell into some of the traps too!! Good on you KObold! (1 year, 5 months ago)

lopez @ #78865: Great grid idea! Very clever, I had fun working this one out (1 year, 5 months ago)

lopez @ #78855: A synonym is defined as "a word that has the same meaning as another word"... SO literally not one of those are synonyms for storm. (1 year, 5 months ago)

banana chips @ #78860: as a Canadian I really enjoyed this one! Still very tricky but an awesome idea. Great job Hairy Grape! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Evolve @ #78858: I'm sorry but only two of those are synonyms of each other: paramount & key (1 year, 5 months ago)

Omegaman @ #78750: EN-trance yes, not N-trance? And what is N64 (other than a road in France)? NYC I get and N-sync but not the others. (1 year, 5 months ago)

M.mouse @ #78797: Book group is also things you read (1 year, 5 months ago)

MumRa @ #78855: Sorry but 'Wind' is not a synonym for storm. Being picky, a storm is Force 10 on the Beaufort Scale, whereas Gale is only Force 8 so, strictly speaking, they're not synonyms either. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Meh @ #78844: Thanks, Freddgar. I've corrected the list in the answer now. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Arcadian @ #78827: Nice idea for a grid, wasn't too tough once you got one of the groups, although it did take a while to do this! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #78834: Good use of the last category there. Lots of red herrings. This is Terry's kind of favourite grid, thank you! (1 year, 5 months ago)

CpnDunbar @ #78780: Also disagree with Billy - everything should always be capitalised unless for a good reason! Bravo was the toughest, I actually found delta and charlie to be the easiest ones. Thanks for a jolly good grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #78752: Couldn't get the Anna connection. Good grid. Thanks! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #78780: Disagree about capitalisation above. The advice is always capitalise the words. I loved the concept, but really struggled separating Bravo and Delta. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #78767: I'm not sure about the 2 group. It's not very clearly explained. I think you are referring to the magpie 2 for joy? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #64865: Suggestions. Don't mix former colonies with current ones, such as bermuda which is still a British territory and Kenya which is its own country. Same applies with France you could have used Wallis and Futuna or others for french territories. Places likes Angola were Portuguese and cote d'Ivoire was french. Good idea just poorly executed in my opinion. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Demon @ #78783: Way too esoteric (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jesse @ #78777: I really enjoyed this! Two of the groups stumped me but were obvious in retrospect - definitely a sign of good clues. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sophrosyne @ #78719: Hey Calvin; thanks! I would attach screenshots if I could but don't have the function here, so I just encourage you to use your favorite Dictionary app, website, or old-fashioned book to learn more about the noun functions of these words. (1 year, 5 months ago)

lopez @ #78778: TMNT has been done a lot, I guess it did say Fiendish, its very specific. I feel like every 100th Puzz grid uses this concept. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Calvin @ #78695: Yeah, really like it. Thanks (1 year, 5 months ago)

lopez @ #78780: Great concept! I couldn't quite get them all but I loved the idea (1 year, 5 months ago)

Calvin @ #78719: Good wall. Wondering how Honda & Jeep are nouns? Aren’t they simply car manufacturers? If the part of speech mattered, then the actors names are also all nouns, and the people you tip are also all nouns. They also all have vowels and consonants in them, but I don’t think that’s really going to help anyone make a connection. Otherwise very nice grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Tim Milk @ #78731: Good grid, keep on truckin' - 🙍‍♂️🥛 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Romesh Choudry @ #78755: Cannot say this was enjoyable, as Frodo said too many Herrings and just not "tight" (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jed Milk @ #78742: Lol what are crabs??? Never heard of these before. Is it a type of tree? Perhaps the kind that only grow in very warm climates. I'm from a more northern region myself, grew up about a 3 day dog sled ride from White Horse, Yukon (That's the largest city in the province). Man I miss that little log cabin.... but it's all gone now after The Incident of 2009. Anyway excellent grid my dude, keep fighting the goof fight 🥰🥰🥰 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mss Ng Vwls @ #78766: I enjoyed this grid however I think the homophones group has to be linked in some way. Otherwise the connection may as well be "words". (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #78760: Sorry, this grid needs a bit of work. Especially as a British grid. The solutions don't explain what the connection is. So you list who the actors play, but not that they are all actors in the Harry Potter franchise. The same with the Ron/Ronald one. It says how each are also Ron(ald) but not that the connection is they are all known as Ron or Ronald. And unfortunately it doesn't accept Ronald as an answer. The one where they all played for Lakers in 2010. Please remember this is labelled as a British grid. Knowing that they play basketball is fairly impressive for a Brit (I'd only heard of Kobe Bryant), to know what team and when isn't something most of us would know about the England men's football team. I do think with some changes and making it a little less niche it could be a good grid though. 😊 (1 year, 5 months ago)

MumRa @ #78669: Loved this but made me feel hungry! (1 year, 5 months ago)

MumRa @ #78682: Got the music set but not the reason behind it - great idea! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Tim Milk @ #78755: Super duper grid! (1 year, 5 months ago)

David @ #78760: Lakers? This is a medium grid, too specific. Doesn't accept Ronald either. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #78734: I thought for the majority this was good. Not sure on the sounds of hitting metal though 🤔 agree with everyone gong is the instrument not the sound per se. Also Jericho, where do you think Scotland is exactly if not on the island of great Britain? X last time I checked Belfast was in the UK... (1 year, 5 months ago)

lopez @ #78677: possibly the worst one i've done. Feedback: Homophones- good concept but visage is spelt correctly, so doesn't really work, especially considering you've added extra words- would have been better if it had just neigh, boosh, and mann. The people against Waterloo is quite obscure and just too much. Well done for trying, something just not right about it. (1 year, 5 months ago)

cazza @ #78641: ditto re. Nessum Dorma. Fun working out the groups (1 year, 5 months ago)

OnkelG @ #78639: Airline code "TOM" likely not general knowledge. Lower case on 3/4 of the blues was a give-away. (1 year, 5 months ago)

AverageMoss @ #77322: Tricky. The paradox and pairs one seem obvious in hindsight, not that I got it but very fun. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #77888: Awesome, and fiendish I would say! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #78639: I liked it. though i would uncapitalise the capital ones (as its obvious they are a connection based on this rather than knowing why) also if you capitalise the first letter of the azure group :) Good concept (1 year, 5 months ago)

AverageMoss @ #77890: Difficult. Did not do well but enjoyed it all the same. Seeing them grouped made me go dang. (1 year, 5 months ago)

IdentityCrisis @ #78652: Agree with Sib though, other than that spot on. (1 year, 5 months ago)

IdentityCrisis @ #78652: Thoroughly Enjoyed (1 year, 5 months ago)

IdentityCrisis @ #78653: Clever, stumped by the £ one, but very clever connection! I think even with a 10 minute timer I wouldn't have got it. Hats off to you! (1 year, 5 months ago)

AverageMoss @ #78634: Very fun and quite difficult. Well done! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sib @ #78652: The Harry Belafonte song is called "The Banana Boat Song" NOT "Day-O" otherwise good grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

ian @ #77975: Except Stone's not in the England team. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Paul @ #78650: theyre called prepositions. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #78616: Some nice red herrings, but maybe a too much emphasis on the tv/film/culture/arts themed connections? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sarah Learmonth @ #78650: Going on a bear hunt - not VERBS (1 year, 5 months ago)

R @ #78643: Relatives and hoovers should be correct group answers imo. Good wall overall but I was frustrated to not get 10/10 on a technicality (1 year, 5 months ago)

J @ #78643: Relatives should be accepted. Also hoover. (1 year, 5 months ago)

SuperT @ #78640: ditto (1 year, 5 months ago)

IanB @ #78640: Wouldn't accept 'spirits' for the drinks group, otherwise nice grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jack @ #78643: Please could you accept relations or relatives (1 year, 5 months ago)

Marty @ #78644: The solution involved two TV shows I've literally never heard of. I think with PuzzGrid you have to base the puzzle on facts/connections that count as 'general knowledge'. For me, this didn't. But thanks for making it anyway. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #78634: Ivory? really? ah well (1 year, 5 months ago)

Gwen @ #78637: Arc should be spelled Ark (1 year, 5 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #78618: Very good! The Ring group took me far too long to work out the connection - thank goodness that section wasn't against the clock! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Superdolly @ #78610: Good grid with very grrr making overlaps so excellent for the old grey matter (1 year, 5 months ago)

do not clic @ #78566: very unhappy. (1 year, 5 months ago)

IdentityCrisis @ #78616: Grand, some good herrings (1 year, 5 months ago)

IdentityCrisis @ #78365: Could have sworn I played this one a while back by a different creator. I guess a copied idea of a great puzzle (1 year, 5 months ago)

Kelsey @ #67323: It was a great grid but I feel the connections answers are a bit too specific - I missed the first one because the connections are only "about the person" and there's no way to indicate that is the answer being looked for. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Emily @ #78572: This was inaccurate - a panda is not a bear and rabbits are also rodents. Other inaccuracies are also present. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Liquid Ice @ #78570: Quite difficult. Niche knowledge. Used the singular for one of the connections and it was counted wrong, even though it was correct. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard @ #78590: Multiple errors, two stiffs! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Freddgar @ #78585: *egg* (1 year, 5 months ago)

Freddgar @ #78585: The head line accepts neither EGG nor EGG. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Liquid Ice @ #78476: Really liked this grid. Well done. Made me think a little. For one of the connections, I used the singular form of the word in the answer, but otherwise got it right and it didn't count it as correct. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Freddgar @ #78587: Nice and easy straightforward grid (Note to self) look up walking stick Got it by default 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 5 months ago)

OnkelG @ #78512: Sorry, I just started and hadn't figured out the tagging. Sorry also about the Hot Pockets; I couldn't edit the UK Union Flag to a German flag, and Hot Pockets are sold here on the continent (they're made by Nestlé). (1 year, 5 months ago)

Creator of this puzzle @ #78326: To the person using my user name to suggest "grid of the week", I appreciate your enthusiasm. I guess the adage "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" applies here. Thank you. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #33156: Good fun. (1 year, 5 months ago)

k1000 @ #69202: Nice one (1 year, 5 months ago)

Philip @ #76278: My input was "fruit" and I got it wrong as well. "FRUITS that are the color red" was the correct response. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Philip @ #76404: I understand this site/game was probably made by one or more people as a hobby or passion project and I am very grateful! Genuinely curious if coding "berry" to be accepted along with "berries" is a ton more work, or if this site is a work in progress and fixes will be coming with future. Thanks for creating fun and challenging puzzles! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Claire @ #78315: Not a great film lover. 2 groups and connections (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #78280: Generally good. Technically pharmacology isn't a branch of medicine. It's something doctors have to learn but it's more the realm of pharmacists. Similar with dentistry. Could try anaesthetics, orthopaedics, trauma, nephrology, respiratory etc. Also the egg group is also things that can be cooked (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #78269: Surely most of the planets group are also Roman gods and Venus from the gods group is also a planet, so Venus could be swapped with any of those and still make a group. With Pluto being a dwarf planet it would be better form. Or changing the gods a bit to make them all female? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Kristin @ #78289: I like the ideas, but there are too many cases where you can switch letters and still have a valid solution. For example, C can be swapped with F, E or D. B also can switch with F, E, or D. Or, more complicatedly, Y replaces O, O replaces E, E replaces either C or B, and C or B take the place of Y. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Joanna M @ #78276: Fun one, thanks! (1 year, 5 months ago)

PMJ @ #78249: Thanks for the feedback. I'm just learning how to encode the description so that all acceptable answers are accepted. However, 'SCOTUS' alone isn't a correct category, the key distinction between two categories is that one consists of plaintiffs and the other of defendants in Supreme Court cases. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #78271: Not bad, but methinks you should reconsider what you want as accepted answers. E.G. plurals is a no-no. Put "question," for one line but quack quack ooops, no. Having said this it was a good grid and I thank you. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #78273: Oooh, another spoiled my confetti run with unaccepted answer. Boo!, However a very good fun grid. Thank you. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Pauline @ #78251: Good grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #78274: I was on a confetti roll, only to be denied by your accepted answer for St Helen's line. Boo, 😀. Thank you, I liked! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Evolve @ #78249: I think you may have filled out the PuzzGrid wrong. For the "ball" category, balls should have been accepted. For the "plaintiffs" and "defendants" category, it will accept either "landmark" or "famous" as answers. I answered SCOTUS and that should've been accepted. (1 year, 5 months ago)

MumRa @ #78230: Good selection of apparently vague clues. Liked this a lot. Thank you! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Evolve @ #78237: Sorry, but this PuzzGrid seems dishonest to me. Except for the "Little" group, no one should be expected to solve the others in the time allotted. (1 year, 5 months ago)

nixel @ #78226: Lovely simple grid. Seems to be something wrong with one of the connections though, even when I type it exactly it doesn't give the point. (1 year, 5 months ago)

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

Dilophosaur @ #78190: Nice grid! (1 year, 5 months ago)

KQuinn @ #77963: It’s not fun when the categories are all obscure or not common knowledge. Turns it into a trivia game. Melons you can’t get at a grocery store. Glam bands that aren’t all widely known. You’re out of luck if you’re not a melon connoisseur or glam rock isn’t your thing. It just makes it impossible unless you’re a trivia junkie. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #78200: I got one group by not knowing anything in the group and therefore assuming they went together (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard @ #77776: Too niche! Unless you're from the area (1 year, 5 months ago)

M.mouse @ #78129: Why not accept Dr (1 year, 5 months ago)

Shane @ #77908: I could see where you we going, but the answers are way too specific, (1 year, 5 months ago)

M.mouse @ #78165: Please accept cosmetic (1 year, 5 months ago)

Shane @ #78017: Just for fun, you could have had the the first line as names of women who were neither in Beatles song titles, nor First Ladies! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Shane @ #77961: Cove and Bay, which are natural formations, are not really the same category as Wharf and Dock, which are structures. You could change either pair to the opposite pair's category since none are red herrings. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Amy @ #78147: Great puzzle! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Pauline @ #78128: Good concept on the grid but needs better formatting on accepting answers. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bedford @ #78182: Omg! First look, was nope! Then started to see the connections! Great grid! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Documentalista @ #78180: A very good grid with two bright red herrings. Can I select the fox instead of the rabbit? …the long channel is not spelt correctly. But then you also probably spell it spelled😉 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bedford @ #78188: Like it (1 year, 5 months ago)

Brookfield @ #78159: A kidney stone is very much a thing, which means that kidney, head and foot are interchangeable in their groups. This is a problem. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Calamity Jay @ #78179: Lovely grid-not bad. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #78128: Echoing that things are marked as wrong when correct. But a good grid all in (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #78124: I'm fairly certain the nursery rhyme is Incy wincy spider. At least in the UK. Also, for some reason some of your connections are not accepting my answers, even though I typed in exactly what was in your explanation. So may need a little bit of tweaking. But a good one with those tweaks (1 year, 5 months ago)

Robert Chase @ #77961: Yes they are (1 year, 5 months ago)

clairebee @ #78161: fun, thanks! A suggestion, it might be more clearer if it’s written, rickshaw, rather than separate words, capitalized, so it reads as a name, that one threw me off a bit (1 year, 5 months ago)

KM @ #78162: saw the anagram at the last second :) nice one (1 year, 5 months ago)

KM @ #78165: Nice! liked this one :D (1 year, 5 months ago)

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

claire @ #78082: thank you everyone, I added the word flower and flowers so hopefully that works. By the way, grimace has been retired since 2000, and only just came back this June. But it was hard to grow up in the US in 70s and not know about grimace, the hamburglar, and mayor Mac cheese. (1 year, 5 months ago)

claire @ #78032: thanks, Phil, could you explain what you said again? I’m new to making these, and still figuring it out. I picked Mamie and Melania since those are pretty specific names (I can’t I can’t think of anyone other than the first ladies who have that name) Why Ina and Paula? I was just entertained by the idea of a giant Venn diagram with that little overlap in the middle, the first ladies and Beatle songs. I accidentally posted it twice, somehow, I managed to post it under British, (and US first ladies seemed a little unfair” I think I used Prudence for that one). is there a way to delete a puzzle? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jamey @ #78128: Lovely grid, thanks! Something a little odd about with the marking, as I gave each link in the same format (just giving the missing word) and 2 were accepted as correct, but the other 2 were marked incorrect and seemed to need the word "songs" as well. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Cam Wilcox @ #77976: Lmao beans amirite (1 year, 5 months ago)

Cam Wilcox @ #78061: Shut up lugs (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jimmy McBallman @ #78087: Why have you posted this grid again? -- This but just why did you ever post it at all. Gottem, roasted. Bizmarch is the spelling, also new is not a synonym for new it's just the word innit. Also you're a sex pest. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Friend @ #77943: Claire—nice puzzle! groupings are strict means that would can put more correct answers in. Like add weapons to swords. (1 year, 5 months ago)

weegieman @ #78090: Excellent. Pretty straightforward but very enjoyable, which is the main reason I try the grids. Well done. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Philip @ #78082: I really enjoyed this one ! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ana @ #78082: That was fun. First time try and ran out of time for entering. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Welcome_to_the_OC @ #78072: Great concept! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Margaret @ #78082: You're on fire! Will keep coming back daily for more :-) I enjoyed the national flowers. Well done. There is a small typo in one of the answers. I think you meant to type Ireland AND the British Isles. (1 year, 5 months ago)

MTKF @ #78038: That was fun, thanks! 3 minutes was just the right amount of time to solve. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #78056: Peggy - wet willy is a wet finger in the ear. So not as bad as you think! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #78056: Another incy wincy spider. Vote here. My for year old agrees. I'd only heard of itsy bitsy because of annoying American YouTube nursery rhymes. I was confused in the grid because I was looking for novelty songs like itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polkadot bikini. (1 year, 5 months ago)

X @ #78087: Why have you posted this grid again? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Philip @ #77721: I feel so accomplished everyday when I correctly complete the NYT Connections game. Then I come here for a huge ego check. I've yet to get a perfect score, but it's only a matter of time! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Anthony @ #78072: Fantastic! Really enjoyed it, thank you (1 year, 5 months ago)

claire @ #78021: rhonda The categories being similar was the point of it, the venn diagram of first ladies, Beatles songs, and then a little overlap in between (1 year, 5 months ago)

claire @ #78074: easy and fun (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard @ #74168: Pixel id made by Google. For Apple you need iPhone to be consistent (1 year, 5 months ago)

lopez @ #78076: great grid! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard @ #74177: Excellent, one of the best I've come across (1 year, 5 months ago)

paige @ #78019: X - Truck is more commonly known worldwide than Engine, i'd say. Cable is also both (as a brit myself I would say both) Its a great grid, what a theme and it ties together rather brilliantly. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Wordsworth @ #78076: Fans of a certain TV show might spot a theme. Hoping someone hasn't had the same idea already... (1 year, 5 months ago)

Trix @ #78072: Haven't seen these for a while - the clearer graphics help. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Wordsworth @ #78011: Mostly decent, but the dress section is a bit of a mess. Cocktail must precede dress to make sense – i.e. you can't say "I'm wearing a cocktail tonight" – while frock never precedes dress, and isn't a type of dress anyway! I see it's your first grid, so a good first attempt and keep trying. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Peak @ #78075: A bit specialist I know so take it as it stands thanks. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Wordsworth @ #78013: Really nice. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Claire @ #78018: loved the cards red herring (1 year, 5 months ago)

MumRa @ #78071: Two Romans in the same category? Not sure about the Greek one either. Otherwise pretty good grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Omegaman @ #78048: I think the suffix nic works just as well as nics in that group (1 year, 5 months ago)

philbd @ #78032: Great categories — I've been wanting to use the Beatles one myself — but I think it needs a properly distinct fourth category to be solvable. Because I can't help myself, I gave it a think, and "Martha / Julia / Ina / Paula" (Ina and Paula replacing eg Mamie and Rita, or any other two non-overlaps) is the best I could come up with. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jatt @ #78061: I liked the spelling of margarine because I was looking for other misspellings! I was more frustrated by the lack of a Lisa… (1 year, 5 months ago)

Claire @ #38207: Made me feel hungry!!! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard @ #78061: Yeah, margarine is misspelt so that doesn't work but it's a great grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Claire @ #78061: didn't get "return of" group. (1 year, 5 months ago)

lugs @ #78061: margarine is spelled incorrectly, so makes that clue defunct (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #78056: Good grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Craig Johnson @ #78018: I always like it when I learn something from the fourth group in these puzzles. For me it was the one with club. Great grid! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Dilophosaur @ #78001: Sorry, not my finest but you enjoyed it and that's all that matters. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #77721: So good I came back to play again.... Okay my eighth time but who's counting. (1 year, 5 months ago)

X@x.com @ #295: Delete this puzzle. Incorrect info. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Claire @ #77940: Good fun grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bits of corn @ #77984: Great grid. Just the right level of tricksy but solvable. If I were staying up late with a sick child I would enjoy doing this puzzgrid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #77981: Some very specialist knowledge in there making it tough - good grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #77940: Knowledge test - no red herrings, but good grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ro @ #77955: We had - growL, teaL, seaL and earL - leaving queue, tee, eye and you. So not unique groups! Otherwise fun. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Janbay123 @ #77983: damn (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ro @ #77977: Fun grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Janbay123 @ #77982: god damn. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mr Gnomi @ #77940: Great grid, thank you (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #77949: I'm fairly certain it's a joker in a pack of cards, not a jester. Also car but?? Car boot maybe? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #77947: I'm not sure the up take, take off connection works well in a grid. Would be better in Round 2 not round 3 as a complete the sequence. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #77944: I think that some of the connections are a bit loose. For example associated with Ross from friends. Also the food name one. There is a mixed bag of niche characters. Sorry, not for me. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #77979: Great ideas and fun links, but dance and dancing can be swapped with each other, between the line and square groups, which means there are at least two equally valid solutions. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Crocodilly @ #77979: This one doesn't really work. Dance, dancing, and up can all be used by both square and line. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #77928: I was on a Maggots wild goose chase. I'm not good with fandoms and could only think of slipknot. (1 year, 5 months ago)

lilactree @ #77980: The Taylor Swift song is “Karma” with an R! 💜 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #77946: Gaaah There was me trying what you may find on a calculator, single letter chemical element symbols, Roman numerals. Trying to be too clever (1 year, 5 months ago)

Profiterole @ #77979: Really enjoyable - fantastic set of links ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (1 year, 5 months ago)

Cajun @ #77967: Could you have found any more obscure SImpson's characters? 7/10 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Quasarsphere @ #77977: Easy but lots of fun! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #77976: Fun grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

DH @ #77919: A solvable challenging head-scratcher - perfect combo thx (1 year, 5 months ago)

Shari @ #65919: One category is wrong. soprano is a part of a choir - bass & baritone are the same thing. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Simon @ #77919: Grid of the day, more like grid of the year! Loved it. Keep up the good work. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Simon @ #77970: Well done, Toad. Ribbit-ing grid that was! More of the same, please :P (1 year, 5 months ago)

Simon @ #77966: Love your work. Positively puzzle-tastic! Look forward to more entries. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Simon @ #77960: Great work, fooled us on the card suits! LOL :P (1 year, 5 months ago)

claire @ #77919: gozo? I was stumped. Smiled when I saw the connection. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Chris @ #77947: "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Min" is missing a D at the end. Perhaps a spacing issue? (1 year, 5 months ago)

nate @ #61118: i loved this one so much! (1 year, 5 months ago)

claire @ #77943: thanks everyone, new to doing this. Mike, when you said groupings are strict, what does that mean? (1 year, 5 months ago)

claire @ #77943: (1 year, 5 months ago)

nate @ #77963: very good puzzle. i was able to work out the tastes and the rock bands pretty quick, and then spent the next 150 seconds staring confused. the 'pop' category is on me for not getting it. the melons seem a bit opaque. but hey, its a fiendish puzzle all right! 4.5 stars (1 year, 5 months ago)

Hamburger @ #77904: Different. You either see it or you don't, I didn't. Anyhow, cheers. (1 year, 5 months ago)

philbd @ #77904: @Grimby It's an honor! 😁 (1 year, 5 months ago)

toad @ #77952: Thank you for the correction! Glad you appreciated it! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Joanna M @ #77943: Very nice puzzle! Satisfying solve, none that were unintentionally ambiguous. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mike @ #77822: Clues could use some more allowances. Seems silly to have one question Football related, another that is sports related, and then another that is Football related but doesn't count that way. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Claire @ #7380: Great grid, love Blackadder (1 year, 5 months ago)

Julia @ #77952: Great job! Just a note though, if you’re referring to the TV show, it’s “Mock the Week” not “Mock OF the week” (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #77874: Maybe too many overlaps to figure out what is wanted from each group. Certainly very challenging. Just to add that for the actors it's very much Doctor Who not Dr Who. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Claire @ #71622: Love this (1 year, 5 months ago)

Claire @ #27931: 10/10,although I guessed DaVinci as a "baddie" (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mike @ #77758: Good puzzle. "Noonday" wasn't an issue for me at all! "Echo Words" however... (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mike @ #77777: Any puzzle that makes me want marshmallows is a good puzzle! Happy 77777! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mike @ #77815: I enjoyed this puzzle, though I don't think "moper" is really a commonly used word. Another clue in that spot would make this puzzle better. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mike @ #77831: Nice puzzle! One of the groupings could use some extra answers. I enjoyed it! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mike @ #77957: Nice puzzle! One of the connections answer needs extra phrases, but I enjoyed doing this! Sixers represent!! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Grid @ #77957: fun one! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #77858: One of those grids where I even had to Google the explanation of one group so I understood it. I liked the other connections though (1 year, 5 months ago)

Pete @ #77880: This was excellent. I was totally fooled by numbers (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mike @ #77851: Nice puzzle. A little hard to put into words what the connections were. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Profiterole @ #77940: Terrific fun 😀 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bedford @ #77936: My k students would have identified the correct connection for those shapes. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bedford @ #77943: Enjoyed this one! Only 1 connection i couldn't make (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard @ #77536: For the Jack group, I had fictional uncles as each are TV or film characters (1 year, 5 months ago)

Caitlin @ #77932: Loved this one thanks! I felt so smart when I spotted the anagrams. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Caitlin @ #77942: I feel like American Presidents should also be an acceptable category for the first group! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mv @ #77938: Die Hard- Yes. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Dr Ricky @ #77914: Love Tintin being the red herring for Tintin (1 year, 5 months ago)

philbd @ #77942: Small typo — "Acre" should be "Acres" to match the rest of its category (it's correct in the answer key) (1 year, 5 months ago)

Claire @ #77919: So many red herrings. Brilliant grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mike @ #77943: Nice puzzle. Groupings are a little strict but that's forgivable. Got 'em all right and had fun! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mike @ #73152: Good puzzle (1 year, 5 months ago)

Kristin @ #77943: Nice. I enjoyed it (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mike @ #77889: Any puzzle with Star Trek and Sabrina in it wins. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Chris @ #77930: Very very good. Well done (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sara @ #77887: Cleveland is misspelled in the grid - should have another 'e' in there. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mike @ #77936: Sounds like Mike has higher standards and expectations for groupings, especially when the grouping is based on a shape and the items in that grouping aren't always in that shape - making the grouping useless. It's me. I'm Mike. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mike @ #77919: I do not enjoy anytime the connection is something missing. Maybe that's just me. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mike @ #77524: Now this is a fun puzzle! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mike @ #77896: They are all groups. (1 year, 5 months ago)

H @ #77936: Sounds like Mike is having a bad day. (I really enjoyed it.) (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mike @ #77897: little miffed at that one category (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mike @ #77898: you wildin' out bro (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mike @ #77902: Requires specialized knowledge. Which is never cool. (1 year, 5 months ago)

weegieman @ #77930: Yes, nice one. Challenging without being inaccessible (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mike @ #77903: Very much enjoyed this puzzle until the last category. It would be nice if the puzzle answers weren't from a different universe as the one we live in. (1 year, 5 months ago)

MT @ #77897: Well done! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mike @ #77904: Did not enjoy this one, and that last category is too specific. Bad time. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mike @ #77936: One of these categories is really dumb, and I found connections that are far more interesting and actually unique, because let me tell you, a lot of those things aren't actually what the category lists them as. Quite disappointed. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mike @ #76182: Stop being so specific on the connections. (1 year, 5 months ago)

lilactree @ #77917: Wouldn’t accept “gingers” as an answer for the Rupert Grint group. Other than that, a fun grid! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bedford @ #77815: I enjoyed this grid. @amy our city is famous for its delta. The people that live here, refer to the water as the delta. By definition you are correct, however most view the bodies of water and waterways as "the delta" (1 year, 5 months ago)

LittleQuill @ #77911: @David: Good job it's not being used on the real show, then! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #77928: Found it - solved it (but then two of those groups which might be tricky for some but not for us!! ) I didn’t think I had fully solved it and answered the three letter group thinking I was being facetious - and got it right !! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bedford @ #77936: Quite a bit of red herrings (1 year, 5 months ago)

Amy @ #77815: Delta isn't a body of water! It's sediments near water. (1 year, 5 months ago)

alyssa @ #77906: (1 year, 5 months ago)

cazza @ #77919: Liked the Muppets (1 year, 5 months ago)

Kallahan the Magnificent @ #77933: At last the charity game I needed. I could play this and feel intellectual again just for 3 brief minutes. I just missed out on a perfect score on the anagrams of classes. And to be honest I still don’t understand them. I thought they were phonetic shortened races. Knom for Gnome and DraB for Dragonborn. But hey ho, more than 2 points, AND I UNDERSTOOD MOST OF IT. What a delight. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Claire @ #77934: Got 1 group and connection. Good explanation (1 year, 5 months ago)

Claire @ #15: Great grid, thanks (1 year, 5 months ago)

Tom @ #77859: Very well made, really enjoyed - thanks! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Margaret @ #77506: This is the most fun grid I've done in a while :-) really enjoyed it (1 year, 5 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #77904: Never look at the comments before you look at the puzzle (1 year, 5 months ago)

the puzzler @ #77915: wow did the red herrings take me out (1 year, 5 months ago)

Kallahan the Magnificent @ #77919: Another day another puzzle, this time I actually did respectably for me. I identified a group of trousers early on, despite not hearing of one of that group. I then managed to snaffle up some Mediterranean islands. However, one tricksy group in particular caused me great difficulty, what in goodness name is a Gozo? Some Japanese treat i’ve not heard of? a lower tier greek god of myth? It matters not, I did not get their group or recognise them. Here I stand bested by the Muppets. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Grimby @ #77904: Terrible. Worst grid I've ever played on here (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #77842: Agree with the others. You need to work on your definitions/accepted answers. Gospels for example. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #77835: Could you expand on your Australia connection explanation? You state who each person is, but not what connects them. I'm guessing it's related to exploring Australia or maybe having places banned after then in Australia, but it's not clear. I thought the connection was places in Australia. But was clearly wrong. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Keith @ #1041: The mine catagory are also wedding anniversaries (1 year, 5 months ago)

Freddgar @ #77917: Good grid, pretty easy Never thought I'd see Terry Thomas and Mike Tyson in the same group:-) 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #77916: Quite good, but the wolf in Jungle book is Akela, not 'Arkela' so I wasted ages looking for other boats, or modes of transport hidden in the words. Also, what on earth is Face Cake? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ro @ #77914: Nice variety (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sandy Santana @ #77523: Great! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sandy Santana @ #77506: Loved it! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #77851: I got credit for solving one category I did not; And then got no points for an answer that should have been there. Still not a bad grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

jho @ #77842: grid is easy but accepted links far too narrow (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bedford @ #77770: Very difficult (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bedford @ #77826: First look at this was horror but then i started to read the words. Then realized the connections. Really enjoyed this unique grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bedford @ #77851: I wanted this to be tricky but now that i do it, maybe it's too easy. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard @ #77826: I hate you!!!!!! Another superb grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Kallahan the Magnificent @ #77770: This was some fresh cut of torture. I spent the whole time trying to get the correct groups of synonyms for End and ran out of time. On group identification I identified none correctly bar the only one I was obsessing over at the start. I will now continue my day with a new enforced sense of inferiority. Many thanks. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #77833: Super grid. Thanks (1 year, 5 months ago)

feathers @ #77841: In order for for this to be fairer and more enjoyable, it should be the same letter within a given group that changes. For instance, 'Witchcock' and 'Herwig' immediately jump out as directors with the first letter changed, which makes 'Leg' as 'Lee' and 'Alien' as 'Allen' incredibly unintuitive for the solver. (1 year, 5 months ago)

MereNovice @ #77834: Enjoyable with good crossovers, thank you. Just a typo but the Charming link is "Fictional Princes" not "Fictional Princess". (1 year, 5 months ago)

Not new @ #77827: Depends on your age I think Tim. Some people remember bringing their goods (rice, curry, beans etc) to the counter to be weighed on the scales by the grocer, who then wrapped it in paper. He then rang up the sale on the register. (1 year, 5 months ago)

BexSweenz @ #77673: Great, I love your grids! (1 year, 5 months ago)

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

claire @ #77763: hi rhonda, Thanks! These were pretty challenging ones, but I’m going to make some that are a little easier. One funny thing, I hadn’t realized, a cassowary actually has a little tiny tophat, or at least it looks like it. My sister thought that that was part of that category. One thing you can do is take a screenshot, and then you don’t have to rush (1 year, 5 months ago)

reinhart @ #77661: bit easy (1 year, 5 months ago)

Rhonda @ #77763: Thanks for posting these. Yours are far more challenging than the NYT. For your first grid, I figured out 2 categories, this one only 1, partially due to not knowing C was a bird and not knowing one of the characters. I think I have only missed one set in NYT. since the first day. I look forward to doing better with yours (hopefully) in the future. I agree with one comment below, I don’t like the time restriction, I get more stressed when I have a clock ticking away than a limit on options, on the flip side, I do like the ability to get some wrong in the beginning and have not been strategic enough with those opportunities so far. Looking forward to trying my new strategy with yours tomorrow!! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #77766: Great ideas,and I solved it in under a minute, but by pure luck as there are at least two more equally valid solutions, which isn't how the grids are supposed to work. Wear can be swapped from the homophones group to the rivers group, with Wye taking its place. If you changed Wear to Ware, the grid would be valid (1 year, 5 months ago)

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

Fairy @ #77548: Sorry, I really do not like that speaking in Italian accent one. Doesn't suit right. (1 year, 5 months ago)

wilma @ #77486: very difficult but enjoyed! got two of the groups (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #77546: You have 4 groups of 4, but the puzzle element is missing. To improve your want to have at least two (ideally more) that fit into other groups. You also want the way they are connected to be different. Take May from your grid. May can be a month, a prime minister, last word of a TV programme starting David Jason (darling buds of may), an anagram of a vegetable/tuber (yam), precede the word fly etc. Good options include anagrams, words within words, words that follow/precede a common word, synonyms, as well as words that fit a category such as yours do. Good luck constructing. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jim @ #77635: Wow! Made my day! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bedford @ #77628: Got 2 groupings and 2 connecting (1 year, 5 months ago)

SuperT @ #77628: Enjoyable (1 year, 5 months ago)

Hat1 @ #77621: Not sure Sky is correct (1 year, 5 months ago)

Grace @ #77570: Thanks for the feedback - always welcome. Score means 20 years so have added that in the explanation. I’ve changed ginger to a different veg - even though ginger is a vegetable but recognise most would call it a spice. I’ve changed the wording on carp. (1 year, 5 months ago)

cfaulk46 @ #77599: Shredded cheese is what the Americans called Grated Cheese. A good grid, but a tough one. 6/10. (1 year, 5 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #77607: I was looking for bodies of water: Chelsea, Brentford, Liverpool... Buildings: Aston Villa, Newcastle... Body parts: Manchester, Arsenal.. Purely football knowledge is too hard!!! Maybe for another grid eh? (1 year, 5 months ago)

George @ #77597: Good one. Fun! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Myname @ #77575: Beatles and dogs were unknown to me. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Polly @ #77593: This doesn't work because all the planet ones are completely interchangeable with Roman gods. Hades and Hermes are Greek rather than Roman gods. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Polly @ #77542: Great wall, need to add the word 'initial' for the X/B/E one (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sophox @ #77575: Simple but fun, nice one (1 year, 5 months ago)

Liam @ #77604: In fairness if your going to change one letter, it should be in the same place in each word? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mister+Tom @ #77597: Very good. Simple but lots of overlap (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bina @ #77604: Solutions not unique. Collie could be swapped with Labrador and/or Alsation and, for those who watched Eastenders in the 1980s, Golden Retriever is also interchangeable with these. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Tom @ #77543: Thanks for making, enjoyed (1 year, 5 months ago)

Keith @ #77593: Only Hades and Hermes are Greek Gods! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Flippz @ #77543: Hi, I like the grid, however, I would swap out Marshmallow because despite fitting the connection, all the other words feature the body in a more meaningful manner (and are, in fact, composed of the word itself, and one other). I was left wondering how the hell 'Marsh' goes in with the other words. That said, I can't think of a good replacement off the top of my head, so Marshmallow might still be the best thing to put there anyway. (Optionally, something that starts on Cloud? Make it names of objects visible in the sky.) (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #77589: Nice, logical, simple grid, though not a quick one to solve. Pity "misspelled'' wasn't accepted for the "commonly misspelt" group. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Keith @ #77542: Carbonated beverages is incorrect! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Aitch @ #77570: Some great ideas, but a couple of potentially broken groups. Score isn't quite a metric of the group mentioned, and ginger is typically known as a spice. Looking forward to your next one. (1 year, 5 months ago)

ADAM ALEXANDER @ #77467: Clever, too obscure for me but I hope to get the hang of it! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Max Carne @ #77590: Great Wall! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fungrids @ #77574: Good grid! Never seen Alien but still got that one, Ripley was my only clue (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sophox @ #77543: Fantastic grid by the way, only one I didn't get was the RR group which is a bit embarrassing since my grandad worked for them for 40 years haha (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sophox @ #77543: ^ This guy's a riot, I mean trolling on a quiz website? Unironically hilarious (1 year, 5 months ago)

steve @ #77524: easy (1 year, 5 months ago)

steve @ #77543: this might be the worst puzzgrid ive ever seen keith - my balls are in your moms group will s - not as easy as your mom weegieman - your mom wasnt neat after i was done with her psammy - the only thing ur board is good for is banging ur mom on (1 year, 5 months ago)

Avenger @ #55445: Nice, makes me realise how little I know about damn dams 🥸 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Avenger @ #55458: Oman and Israel in Asia? Better let them know and the grid has a chance of being ok. If not , tosh! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Slicineyeballs @ #77555: Not bad, very quick to complete. Didn't accept "birds" for the football group though. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Slicineyeballs @ #77437: Not sure the groups quite work (1 year, 5 months ago)

Slicineyeballs @ #77464: Tough but good. Very clever with the red herrings. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Hggg @ #77574: Never seen alien. Great grid though (1 year, 5 months ago)

Buzzards @ #77527: A good grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #77570: Score is a number, but does not specifically refer to time any more than to any other thing. Ginger is more of a flavouring than a food per se. Carp means to complain, but not necessarily to go on about it. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Matt B @ #77571: very easy, good warm up (1 year, 5 months ago)

AE @ #77562: Sorry but this is just low effort. The game is not just to list items in a category. You need to include red herrings and crossover items. You also need to add some key words to the possible answers. Maybe work on improving your existing grids before submitting a new one. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Psammy @ #77543: Thanks Keith and Will - I tweaked it a little thanks to your feedback :) Glad you enjoyed it, weegieman! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sue @ #77529: Excellent use of red herrings, and a wide variety of categories. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #77525: Challenging grid, nice connections, did the job (1 year, 5 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #77528: one category is difficult to describe although it's obvious if you know (1 year, 5 months ago)

Pete @ #77561: So many red herrings. Nice job (1 year, 5 months ago)

weegieman @ #77549: Maybe I'm missing something, but exchanging the third and fourth letters of Senna surely gives you Senna, I. E. no difference. Altogether a bit silly I thought, sorry. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Freddgar @ #77544: Think you mean followed by (1 year, 5 months ago)

cfaulk46 @ #77558: I did the same as QuadrAlien, for the size group as "synonyms of small". I used "states of sadness" for the other group, which worked. Remember to use the smallest portion of any linking word, to match to the player's answers :) (1 year, 5 months ago)

QuadrAlien @ #77558: The links are a bit restrictive - I'd gone for "synonyms of small" which turned out to be "size", then "sad emotions" for "sadness". (1 year, 5 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #77501: Very elegant! (1 year, 5 months ago)

weegieman @ #77543: Nice neat grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

JLB3 @ #77506: Nice grid. Maybe consider including Imperial as a linking term for the measurements? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Keith @ #77543: Your ghost group are also Rolls Royce models (1 year, 5 months ago)

MamaSan @ #77532: MumRa - they probably have as much chance at that as I do at anything remotely sports related! That’s why it’s so good to have the diversity of themes.🙂 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Stacks @ #77506: Incredible. Great work. (1 year, 5 months ago)

B @ #77506: Excellent grid, very satisfying! Link for the measurements could include "distance" though (1 year, 5 months ago)

Arcadian @ #77506: Good work! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #77542: I'm pretty sure Argentina is named for the colour, rather than the other way round. (1 year, 5 months ago)

JM @ #77535: Another good one - it took me a while on the foodstuffs... (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sam @ #38037: I typed TV Detective for the obvious category but wasn’t accepted. Turns out that these all have TV shows (even if not originally) so should be accepted. (1 year, 5 months ago)

MumRa @ #77532: Oh I really like this one! Not sure too many non-Brits - or those under a certain age - will get the Jimmy group though! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Noelski @ #77529: Shame it didn’t accept CS Lewis for the Narnia one, otherwise very good (1 year, 5 months ago)

MamaSan @ #77533: Great! (1 year, 5 months ago)

StrikeDAC @ #77504: Good grid! For the intoxicated group, I put inebriated and for the texture group, I put consistency. Up to you whether those make sense to count. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Claire @ #44185: As a science buff, I really enjoyed this grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

AlanDale @ #77512: Enjoyed this and the difficulty level, it was really enjoyable. I should have scored full points, but the form of words needed to describe on connection is really hard to get right. I don’t want to give away which one to spoil it for others, but I’m sure you know which one I mean. But nevertheless a great puzzle, thanks! (1 year, 5 months ago)

MumRa @ #77510: Most enjoyable. Really liked the Slinky category :) (1 year, 5 months ago)

MamaSan @ #77493: Good grid - I got off to a good start because I created a grid with the BB topic the other day so it was a nice familiar start. (1 year, 5 months ago)

cfaulk46 @ #77466: Great grid, the Bastrop group needs attention for the accepted words. I got the group perfectly, but despite using a (correct) linking word for all of them, it wasn't taken. Remember to use the smallest possible portion of any linking word, for them to be accepted. It's a good shot though, 6/10. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Steve @ #77493: The unit of measure group feels flawed as they aren't the base SI units (and are prefixed by the multiplier) (1 year, 5 months ago)

Erica @ #39823: The problem with palm & olive is that you could switch their places in the completed grid and still have 4 valid categories. Palm is oil and tree. Olive is oil and tree. So there isn't a unique solution. It's funny when people try to correct someone without understanding what they were saying. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #77400: Excellent idea. I think that there could be some work needed on a few bits, like the opposite of forest (Savannah? Urban area?) Also the opposite of Broads could be shrinks so maybe interchangeable (1 year, 5 months ago)

Avenger @ #55618: Hmmm.... hashtag pigpen? Nah (1 year, 5 months ago)

Alex @ #77247: Yeah, I agree, definitely allow "Don't", otherwise pretty good (1 year, 5 months ago)

anvil @ #77459: Yeah, too obscure. Lost interest, so I don't know what the links are. (1 year, 5 months ago)

gridlington @ #77441: Very good, though I didn't like that 3 of the weapons started with an S and then there was a D. Could have chosen a 4th "S" weapon, like Shotel or even Sabre. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #77390: Evil. I found one group, which I felt fairly pleased with and the connection for a second. Excellent idea and well executed. (1 year, 5 months ago)

KyriGidsson @ #77411: So "marketplaces" instead of "online retailers" doesn't count, but "seas" instead of "seas mentioned in the Bible" does? (1 year, 5 months ago)

X @ #77459: I presumed that it's impossible, and did something else for three minutes while awaiting confirmation. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sophox @ #77411: It didn't accept "river", only "rivers". (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mv @ #77450: Quarks. Yes. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Slicineyeballs @ #77456: Excellent, good difficulty, fun (1 year, 5 months ago)

Don @ #77411: Easy as pie to complete the grid, but you've insisted on far too specific connections. (1 year, 5 months ago)

X @ #77451: May the relevant authority outlaw anagrams, and banish their abusers to the wilderness. (1 year, 5 months ago)

X @ #77445: Depressingly impossible. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Alison @ #77173: I think your given answer only really applies to ‘city’ from that group. Enjoyable grid, though. Thank you. (1 year, 5 months ago)

X @ #77439: Most mediocre grid in quite some time. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ubu @ #77202: Come on - they all end in prepositions?! Weak... (1 year, 5 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #77349: Me too - the trees one was excellent (1 year, 5 months ago)

Paul @ #77443: 5 stars! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Matthew R Dalton @ #77074: Cities in Italy should work just like Italian cities (1 year, 5 months ago)

MamaSan @ #77411: Great grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Onionbhajay @ #77163: Sorry David but stout is a beer (1 year, 5 months ago)

wouzzee @ #77453: Nice! (1 year, 5 months ago)

SamuelP @ #77450: Nice. I got the groups but missed one connection (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard @ #77446: Not convinced by the children's book characters (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fred @ #77445: Rather too abstract. Managed to guess one and that turned out to be purely by chance - little fun - wasted 3 minutes of my life! (1 year, 5 months ago)

RedHotMamma @ #77435: Good grid (PS think chickens may be able to fly?) (1 year, 5 months ago)

RedHotMamma @ #77443: Excellent (1 year, 5 months ago)

Lee @ #77447: Loved it! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Elinor @ #77446: (1 year, 5 months ago)

fi @ #77411: Nice red herrings, but seas in the bible?? We're not all christian or bible readers. (1 year, 5 months ago)

fi @ #77435: My husband worked at a vet school, chickens can most definitely fly. Otherwise a good grid, i think a footstall is the same as a foot stool. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sophox @ #77437: No the synonyms definitely don't work I'm afraid (1 year, 5 months ago)

cazza @ #77393: The actors were challenging to sort, but I managed (1 year, 5 months ago)

cazza @ #77406: challenging but fun (1 year, 5 months ago)

andperr @ #77418: Agreed with Kristin--I got the group but never would have guessed the reason. Went for "possessives in film titles" because I could think of 3/4 and hoped there was one I didn't know for the last! (1 year, 5 months ago)

cazza @ #77437: Interesting connections (1 year, 5 months ago)

grotto @ #77439: Worst grid ever (1 year, 5 months ago)

George @ #77396: Jesus was an only child, (1 year, 5 months ago)

George @ #77411: Good one. (1 year, 5 months ago)

George @ #77435: Nice one. I also just put Birds. (1 year, 5 months ago)

jho @ #77435: chickens can fly and what is a footstall? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Atus @ #77439: Best. Grid. Ever. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Tim @ #77437: Not sure this one played totally fair on the synonyms, but challenging for sure (1 year, 5 months ago)

dom @ #77435: As if you didn’t accept birds (1 year, 5 months ago)

GK Chaos @ #77435: Chickens can fly- Humans clip their wings (1 year, 5 months ago)

Tom @ #77393: Thanks for making, I really enjoyed it! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Thom Yorke @ #77425: I typoed Radiohead as two words and it didn't count, please fix. Fantastic grid though (1 year, 5 months ago)

Scott @ #77377: @X You’re right, woops. I updated that word. Thx! (1 year, 5 months ago)

sdg83 @ #77425: very good grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

gala @ #77327: very fun (1 year, 5 months ago)

Kristin @ #77418: Liked all the groups except for the Tiffany category which seemed very niche. Juice category was fun and clever. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Boobi @ #72561: Loved it A+ 60secs (1 year, 5 months ago)

annabel @ #1396: the words missing first letter “a” seemed kinda lame, but i’m a newbie so maybe that’s a common thing… (1 year, 5 months ago)

Robert Chase @ #77222: This is literally me whenn I get the puzzgrid wright the first time ----?c :D (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bedford @ #77222: Tricky (1 year, 5 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #77359: Excellent. Really got me thinking. Thank you. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Trix @ #77359: Joni : D (1 year, 5 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #77359: 😆 Haha ;-) enjoyed TY (1 year, 5 months ago)

Alex @ #75821: America is not a continent (1 year, 5 months ago)

Alex @ #76404: Those are greetings, but not actually hello in different languages. They're not translations of hello, poor description. (1 year, 5 months ago)

MamaSan @ #77367: Very good (1 year, 5 months ago)

MamaSan @ #77368: Great grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

MamaSan @ #77385: Very good (1 year, 5 months ago)

MamaSan @ #77390: Excellent (1 year, 5 months ago)

Avenger @ #55693: Sadly cake was not accepted for the group that was comprised of different types of, erm, cake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (1 year, 5 months ago)

PM @ #77343: Best grid on puzzgrid by far! You’re genius (1 year, 5 months ago)

X @ #77377: The idiom is not "burn" off steam, it is "blow" off steam. (1 year, 5 months ago)

X @ #77407: Army, Empire, Dynasty, and Regime are not synonyms. (1 year, 5 months ago)

X @ #77400: "Forest" is not the opposite of "Forest", and "District" is not the opposite of "District". (1 year, 5 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #77407: "Army" is not a synonym for the other three in the group. (1 year, 5 months ago)

SamuelP @ #77383: I was caught out, or stumped, by Broad. (1 year, 5 months ago)

kit @ #77359: Brilliant! Really clever. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Nick @ #77385: Very good, made u think. (1 year, 5 months ago)

SamuelP @ #77373: Very good. Just got it in time. The glass group was tricky! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Nick @ #77389: Think the music one should be given for identifying that they are all groups or musicians. Bit picky to only give it for winning Mercury music award. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Claire @ #77344: Not sure about the last group. Trying to get a connection between the location of massacres feels wrong (1 year, 5 months ago)

Tim Milk @ #77382: An absolute banger! We savoured every moment (haha) (1 year, 5 months ago)

Christine Mazzotti @ #77393: Enjoyed this. Lots of names but I managed to unscramble and got full points. Well done. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #77400: For lotr you need to include middle earth as a viable answer. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Milk @ #77385: "The Streep one was very clever" - Cheese "I'm good." - Buttermilk "Another quiz asked us about Wimbledon, this one was much fairer." - Cream "Slay queen!" - Milk (1 year, 5 months ago)

Freddgar @ #77379: Great grid Not seen this done before, well done You win 10-6 Thanks for posting (1 year, 5 months ago)

Joni @ #77359: Excellent grid. The newer grids don’t hold a candle to those of yore. But this has given me hope…. Thank you Trix (1 year, 5 months ago)

M @ #77388: Unfortunately this is not a unique solution as mum and sis are interchangeable. In addition, SF is just one word. Good crossovers though (1 year, 5 months ago)

Scubadog @ #77359: Heavy on phonetics (1 year, 5 months ago)

Dave @ #77103: Connection answers not inclusive enough. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Scott @ #77377: Very charming! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Pete @ #77375: Nice grid. American one was fun, and probably more you could spin in there (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard @ #77359: Yours are the best grids (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard @ #77368: Just the right level of tricky (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #77348: With emergency services having both Paramedic and Ambulance seems a bit odd. You wouldn't have both firefighter and fire engine or police officer and police car. You could have Ambulance technician or emergency medical technician and paramedic. Otherwise a great grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

SamuelP @ #77326: Your puzzles are very good. Just the right level of difficulty (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #77343: I liked this one. The missing letter was inspired. Very satisfying (1 year, 5 months ago)

Freddgar @ #77369: Good one, couple of nice red herrings 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #77335: I may be being dense, but I don't get the Auburn one. I get penny and autumn but not Harry or Utah. Otherwise some good ideas (1 year, 5 months ago)

VCM @ #77359: Best grid on here that I can remember. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fliss @ #77349: Loved this (1 year, 5 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #77333: With a grid that good poor spelling is definitely overlooked ! Thanks for posting (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fliss @ #77358: I loved the “your leg” one (1 year, 5 months ago)

kekxsz @ #77363: Great grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

J @ #77359: good grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Dahlia @ #77350: Nice! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Dahlia @ #77359: Excellent! Loved it. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Freddgar @ #77360: Nice and easy grid to start Sunday morning 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 5 months ago)

Barack @ #77363: Absolutely correct, fixed! Thanks for the feedback I guess it just sounded correct to me (1 year, 5 months ago)

gridlington @ #77363: What's a relap? Doesn't seem to be in the dictionary. (1 year, 5 months ago)

weegieman @ #77350: Enjoyable, nicely themed (1 year, 5 months ago)

Pete @ #77359: I enjoyed that one :) (1 year, 5 months ago)

Kornél @ #77360: Loved it (1 year, 5 months ago)

Operalover @ #77360: Nice easy grid to start the day! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #77295: Good ideas, and relatively easy to solve,but not great logic to the clues and there isn't a unique, valid solution to the wall. For example, Horseradish and Rape are types of brassica, but Brussel isn't, while purple is just an adjective that fits into the name of some varieties of brassica, and so is interchangeable with 'green' in the beans group, which means there are multiple, equally valid solutions to the grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #77325: I think roses can be most colours. And cabbage can be red, so you could potentially swap these and be correct. Otherwise good grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

David @ #77029: Ted Dekker what? This is supposed to be a medium grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

weegieman @ #77347: Good one, nice balance of red herrings and crossovers (1 year, 5 months ago)

Kay @ #77050: Last one things that can drop (1 year, 5 months ago)

weegieman @ #77343: Nice tight grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Denice @ #77327: Awesome game! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Friend @ #77327: Fun!! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Cam @ #77344: Another excellent grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bob @ #77336: Didn't accept women's instead of girls'. And, I agree with Confused. Otherwise, a nice grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Laura @ #77335: Good grid but the correct spelling is Eleanor not Elanor. 😀 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #77303: Some work to be done here with spellings and accepting precious stones along with gems and gem stones. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Hamburger @ #77340: Nice grid but having two 'Iron's spoils it. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #77291: Have to say I'm not a fan of the ent group or the stick. I think it's just the connecting word being able to go before or after for stick. (1 year, 5 months ago)

SamuelP @ #77323: Good one. I got most of it. I think Jude is a boy's name in this context. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Pauline @ #77324: Agree with David, your answer criterion are too restrictive. (1 year, 5 months ago)

David @ #77274: I agree about the australian connection (1 year, 5 months ago)

David @ #77324: So, sesame street is not an acceptable answer, and neither is desserts (1 year, 5 months ago)

David @ #77337: I think you classified an hard or fiendish grid as medium. Ends in -ery was not accepted because apparently they rhyme! Either reclassify it or have less ambiguous clues. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Peggy @ #77333: Please correct the spelling of Eleanor in this grid, too. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Avenger @ #55697: Excellent stuff. Solved it but only just. Lovely crossovers. Thank you for your time in putting this together for us to enjoy. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Dudley @ #77334: sapphire and loneliness are spelled wrong. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Cam Wilcox @ #77324: Did you awsome yourself?? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Peggy @ #77335: You need to correct the spelling of Elanor to Eleanor. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Peggy @ #77340: Your might want to correct your spelling of palindrome in the answers. It has only one L. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Hal+Jam @ #77338: Very good. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Katie @ #77341: Good grid, thank you Fyi palindrome only has one l (1 year, 5 months ago)

Hamburger @ #77307: This is good. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Karl @ #73460: A venn diagram can have any amount of rings, not just 3! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Confused @ #77336: Fun grid, but I don't understand Dynamics... No offense to anyone named Dyna but I've never heard the name (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mech @ #77327: super fun (1 year, 5 months ago)

Obs @ #77334: sapphire loneliness (1 year, 5 months ago)

EL @ #76399: honestly the category "treats that we eat" is bogus. dessert, sweets, etc. is much more attainable (1 year, 5 months ago)

Pete @ #77334: Nice grid - turquoise might work well in gemstones, plum in fruit, and blue in the sad one (1 year, 5 months ago)

shravepog @ #76525: so good slay king (1 year, 5 months ago)

Avenger @ #55788: Hmmm, not your best, Aircraft not correct when aeroplane is?? Will avoid your grids now. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Dahlia @ #77315: Loved this! (1 year, 5 months ago)

David @ #77256: What an excellent grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Golfer119 @ #77318: I see professions aren't the same as occupations. Other than that, good board. (1 year, 5 months ago)

SamuelP @ #77315: Nice one! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Alison @ #77303: Stansted. And they’re not necessarily ‘in’ London (1 year, 5 months ago)

David @ #77303: gems are also called precious stones. (1 year, 5 months ago)

beandip @ #77265: good red herrings! I would say 'queen' works for sure because Dairy Queen never actually has had a queen for a mascot. The 'jack' is maybe because the Jack in the Box mascot is a clown named Jack? 🤷 Either way, great grid thanks for sharing! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bob Dole @ #77265: Made Bob Dole angry in the good kind of way. Bob Dole approves. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mech @ #77265: Agree with L, the cards and mascots can trade Jack Queen and King, so there are multiple solutions (1 year, 5 months ago)

H @ #77303: Spelling error in Sapphire (1 year, 5 months ago)

Yiannis P Karavanas @ #77263: this puzzgrid was brought to you by stupidity and my mom #owned (1 year, 5 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #77306: 👍 Departed (1 year, 5 months ago)

Wam Cilcox @ #77296: L + not good (1 year, 5 months ago)

Agree - fuck you @ #77268: That z group was so mean. Second guessing myself because surely that can’t be the connection! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Puddles @ #77307: Very nice! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bearman @ #77307: Excellent grid! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #77284: The songs one and the children's TV need tightening up a bit. The children's programmes include the first word (fireman, sesame) and the last word (pig) the whole name (Arthur). You need consistency when it isn't the full title. Same with the songs first word (Yellow, strawberry) and second word (Jude) or both (Sun) (1 year, 5 months ago)

H @ #77296: Loved it! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Stewy @ #77308: Utter garbage (1 year, 5 months ago)

cazza @ #77253: I do enjoy a grid with linked connections (1 year, 5 months ago)

Baldrick @ #77289: Really good - the witch one was horrible! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Dahlia @ #77291: The ‘ent’ group could also be rhyming words (1 year, 5 months ago)

malcolm @ #77284: cheese can be almost any colour and the song one is a bit all over the place in terms of which words are relevant (1 year, 5 months ago)

EB @ #76512: The clue answers are pretty common but pairing them with 4 colors is cruel to anyone who doesn't know the character names. You should have a separate category that includes only a couple colors if you want to make it tricky. (1 year, 5 months ago)

EB @ #76515: Sneaky doesn't really belong in that group. I had the same issues as others with the category answers being way too specific and the categories not really being connected in any meaningful way (1 year, 5 months ago)

SamuelP @ #77273: Two of the connections are very obscure (1 year, 5 months ago)

SamuelP @ #77270: Yes, 76 should be 78, so I didn't get the connection for that group. (1 year, 5 months ago)

TopsyandTim @ #77277: Loved it. I got it but it didn't accept Ramones. Would havce had 10My fault i guess... (1 year, 5 months ago)

Don @ #77136: Past time? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Kristin @ #77200: I appreciated the connection along the four groupings. I didn't remember how the stars all divided up, but was able to get all the movies. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Avenger @ #55933: Pickle???? Dart???? Bolt??? (1 year, 5 months ago)

dave @ #77253: Cute theme. (1 year, 5 months ago)

David @ #69594: The superheroes are also avengers (1 year, 5 months ago)

Brin F @ #77200: Too niche. (1 year, 5 months ago)

David @ #77163: Stout is not beer, but it is an alcoholic drink. Put in more options. (1 year, 5 months ago)

wouzzee @ #77222: Nice! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Finbarr Saunders @ #77231: Crikey! (1 year, 5 months ago)

wouzzee @ #77199: Ace and Joker are NOT interchangeable since Joker is not part of the "Bat family." (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bearman @ #56705: I don’t know for sure that it would’ve made a difference, but this American Jew never would have made the necessary numerical connection to Passover. Hard puzzle but very well made. (1 year, 5 months ago)

SamuelP @ #77224: Good one. I'm not sure about Nile though (1 year, 5 months ago)

Trillium @ #77210: Kiss row also contains boys nick names. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #77221: Managed to solve the wall with only the vaguest idea about one of the connections - a lot of unintentional clue with the obvious revered lower case and the shapes. (1 year, 5 months ago)

salmacis @ #77210: What's a Scotch Kiss? Did you mean a Scottish Kiss? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sophox @ #77199: Nice categories but as others have said, Joker and Ace are interchangeable which really goes against the rules. (1 year, 5 months ago)

IanB @ #77219: Needs a better explanation of the answers. The songs are linked to a particular artist, the characters to a particular actor, and I've no idea who the 'Trent' group are. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Vicki C-M @ #76745: Yeah, too easy this. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Vicki C-M @ #77199: Correct J, Ace and Joker are interchangeable between the two groups and therefore should be accepted. Shame. Good grid otherwise. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ro @ #77203: Good grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Frankie @ #77207: Good grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #77196: Nice grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

SamuelP @ #77201: Nice one. Fairly easy after you've figured out where 'du' goes. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Chris @ #77196: Nice little grid, completed in 39 seconds. Thanks for sharing! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Onionbhajay @ #77178: I'll change the connection explanation to make it clear that the port group is words used to describe boats. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Chris @ #77199: Great grid, love a red herring or two. (1 year, 5 months ago)

me @ #47080: Good medium grid. I liked the rollover group - amusing. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Cee @ #77049: Enjoyed it, but frustrated by the lack of recognized terms for connections - I got them all right, but only one was recognized due to rigidity of accepted terms. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Shane @ #77199: Well, I liked it. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Chris @ #77204: Misspelt Morocco (Morrocco) which should probably be covered as it's a simple mistake to make. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #77207: Should be "Burr" not "Burro" for that group to work. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Kristin @ #77198: Fun grid! Straightforward and nice. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #77178: Good ideas, but port could swap with dock, or arguably, any of the words in the dock group. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Kristin @ #77201: Also fun! This time, I got them all. Nice grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #77194: Nice easy solve, and quite good fun, but there's at least one mistake in the clues. 'Twos &' should be '& twos', and I've only ever heard 'Hoity-Toity' rather than 'Haughty Taughty', though that might just be a dialect variation. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Kristin @ #77202: Very nice. You stumped me with the sand category. 😊 (1 year, 5 months ago)

PacmanPaul @ #77204: I don't think the hat one quite works if it's BOWLER. (1 year, 5 months ago)

J @ #77199: Good grid but Joker and Ace can be swapped to make the same groups. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #77203: Good fun. Pretty tricky, but solvable (just) within the time. Nice groups, with nothing too obscure. Thank you. (1 year, 5 months ago)

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

SamuelP @ #77179: Same grid posted 3 times (1 year, 5 months ago)

Kay @ #76757: Fun one!! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Steve Edgar @ #77187: Great grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jay @ #77199: You could make the same categories in other ways (1 year, 5 months ago)

Chris @ #77172: "Can be suffixed by 'War'" or simply "War" should be acceptable for the "Names of Wars" answer (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #77198: Nice grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #77199: Nice grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #77138: Different (1 year, 5 months ago)

Enzed @ #77194: Nice but I think it should be " & twos" to get the phrase correct (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bearman @ #77138: Very well done! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bearman @ #77176: Glad you liked it, Mack! This was my first submission. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Omegaman @ #77117: Square is the word that follows the words in that group but doesn’t work as I presume the singular isn’t included and only Squares is allowed. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Avenger @ #55944: Yep - agree with Pluto, this grid could be better - given I have sifted the list for UK grids. Mind you, I see far too many state capitals too across these UK grids 🥸 and far too few county towns! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #77138: 👍 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Avenger @ #55974: Tosh (1 year, 5 months ago)

Kent @ #77174: You need to accept simply "colours" for the colours of wine category, not least because it should actually be rosé (with an accent) to be accurate for wine. Otherwise it just reads as rose the colour. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mech @ #77069: Loved it, I appreciate a 'themed' grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mss Ng Vwls @ #76352: Nick Cage 'Nish Stage (Great grid!) (1 year, 5 months ago)

Slicineyeballs @ #77138: Great idea, just needed some red herrings. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Slicineyeballs @ #76745: Decent one, though very easy. Should accept trainers really. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mack @ #77176: Loved this grid! Really satisfying to have figured out the plane grouping at the last second. The red herrings were great too. Thanks. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Frankie @ #77174: Not good (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #77184: Amended - thank you Alan (1 year, 5 months ago)

Freddgar @ #77174: Very good grid, couple of nice red herrings Two easy rows, but...never heard of the Orange thing Looked it up after the finish and learned something Didn't have a clue on the Mike row You win by lots Thanks for posting (1 year, 5 months ago)

njc @ #77144: Sweet wall! Maybe use "*" instead of "-", as the site puts in "-" characters to break lines? Also, we forgive you! (1 year, 5 months ago)

RedHotMamma @ #77178: Really good. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Best puzzle solver @ #77178: Tough but good! (1 year, 5 months ago)

christo @ #77173: Think that settlements should be an acceptable answer to the town group. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Onionbhajay @ #77163: Have replaced "plagerise", thanks for bringing it to my attention (1 year, 5 months ago)

SamuelP @ #77163: Nice one but you should change plagerise to villager or something like that (1 year, 5 months ago)

Matthew R Dalton @ #42770: "Ordinal?" In an "easy" grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

SamuelP @ #77157: Lots of this makes no sense to me. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Matthew R Dalton @ #55037: Very lame answers (1 year, 5 months ago)

Rob @ #77163: Great grid, it’s plagiarise not plagerise, perhaps a word containing ale like scale could be a sub instead? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Friend @ #77136: Now I get it! Duh! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Friend @ #77136: What color does brew rhyme with? (1 year, 5 months ago)

DanTDM @ #77099: Wow! Fooled me! That was a FunOne (1 year, 5 months ago)

Rob @ #77156: Nice grid but suggest swapping Norwich City who do play in yellow shirts for Wolves who play in ‘Old Gold’ which is not the same as yellow (1 year, 5 months ago)

Chris @ #76551: Didn’t accept one of my answers even though nearly identical to that given (1 year, 5 months ago)

Pearl @ #77163: Really had to think. So many red herrings. Excellent. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Best puzzle solver @ #77163: An excellent grid with lots of red herrings (1 year, 5 months ago)

Hayley @ #77156: Wolves fc isn't yellow? Its orange / old gold! That one threw me!! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jay @ #77160: Excellent (1 year, 5 months ago)

Pearl @ #77160: Fiendish. (1 year, 5 months ago)

David @ #77149: The frog, moth etc definition needs some work (1 year, 5 months ago)

Arcadian @ #76745: Ugh come on, sportswear or runners not accepted for the first one? Good clue but bad answer. Very easy grid too. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Rob Lindsay @ #77155: Nice simple grid, really well put together (1 year, 5 months ago)

weegieman @ #77152: Good enjoyable grid, agree with Tom's quibble about the heat group though. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Chris @ #77154: I’m British but have never heard of cinford or Winford. You sure that’s right? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Freddgar @ #77155: Nice and easy one 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 5 months ago)

Alison @ #77144: Enjoyed that one. Maybe ascend/descend? (1 year, 5 months ago)

PacmanPaul @ #77152: I think it's actually Alfa in the NATO alphabet (the 'ph' being dropped as it was considered confusing). Good grid, though. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Rob Lindsay @ #77126: Really, really great grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Tom @ #77152: To be picky, I'm not sure that 'heat' (a noun) is a synonym with the others, which are all adjectives. And humid doesn't really mean the same either. But good grid overall. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Davey @ #77145: Pleased with a ten on that (1 year, 5 months ago)

Davey @ #77152: A nice 10 for me (1 year, 5 months ago)

Claire @ #55166: Good fun (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ro @ #77144: Fun grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Scubadog @ #76325: Not sure why it wouldn't accept 'worm'. It's certainly set up to do so. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #77147: “Edible” herbs, just herbs, they are all edible aren’t they? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Scubadog @ #76293: Thanks for the comments. This was my first attempt. I have taken on board your comments and updated it. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Dahlia @ #63278: Excellent! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Chris @ #77139: Excellent grid! Got all the groups but not the Wonderwall connection. More please! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bina @ #77149: Not a unique solution. Frog and Ant could be swapped for two completely viable groups. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Dahlia @ #77144: Clever! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Email Kolar @ #77119: THanks for the feedback. I've changed polar to polo. I think not having heard of US TV shows is a you problem though. (1 year, 5 months ago)

WayneJr @ #77140: Accidental resubmission of prior grid. Apologies to those who have seen it already (1 year, 5 months ago)

Caitlin @ #77099: There’s a fun red herring that George Percy and Charlie are also Weasleys! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Phil @ #77069: Friend - I think you're probably right, others have commented similarly, and for me coming up with the accepted terms was a difficult part of constructing the puzzle. What did you submit that was unaccepted? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Kayla @ #47100: Oh man, I figured out the categories almost immediately but still only got one of the matches because I couldn't figure so many out. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Kayla @ #38540: Cool concept but I resent you for bringing numbers into a word game. This is my safe space, how dare. /s (1 year, 5 months ago)

Kayla @ #63278: This was very very clever. Quite possibly the best I've done today out of 100 or so. (1 year, 5 months ago)

X @ #77120: Holly is green, not red. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Omegaman @ #77119: Agree that Polar is very misleading when it should be Polo and I do UK grids to avoid US TV programmes I have not heard of. (1 year, 5 months ago)

SamuelP @ #77109: I think we've had enough grids with gods and planets (1 year, 5 months ago)

Haverwench @ #76830: "Pineapple" is spelled wrong. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Haverwench @ #76838: Either this was plagiarized from the New York Times or the Times stole it from you. (1 year, 5 months ago)

SamuelP @ #77104: Nice idea but a bit too easy (1 year, 5 months ago)

DTS @ #77096: Gandhi was indeed born in India, but he lived in South Africa for 21 years, and his formative years as a lawyer and a campaigner were in South Africa. South Africa claims him as one of their own. thepresidency.gov.za/national-orders/recipient/mahatma-ghandi-1869-1948 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Hal+Jam @ #77105: Are jfk and Lennon interchangeable? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Kayla @ #17624: I'm getting so tired of puzzles using NATO and dances. Yes we know there is overlap between the two. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Pauline @ #77083: Agree that you should have accepted the numerical answers (1 year, 5 months ago)

Kayla @ #39823: It's so funny when people comment mad that words go in multiple groups which is literally the point or this game would be only for school children. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Toferino @ #77119: Polar? Do you mean Polo? (1 year, 5 months ago)

LennyG @ #77105: Nice one (1 year, 5 months ago)

Toferino @ #77113: I think that it would be more correct to say that for the one group they are perfect squares rather than simply "square roots". Their square roots are integers, but you don't specify that. I'm a mathematician so naturally I'm pedantic! (1 year, 5 months ago)

SamuelP @ #77083: Very good! Obs, 241 offer. Like Bogof. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Kayla @ #61118: I liked the concept but it's hard to guess the answers in exactly the right words even when you know what they have in common. (1 year, 5 months ago)

MumRa @ #77098: Really enjoyed this grid, especially the clue for 'idiot'! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #77074: Nice grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jay @ #77109: Very nice! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Pearl @ #77109: Really hard - difficult but enjoyable (1 year, 5 months ago)

WayneJr @ #77103: Good grid but I missed out on a couple of connections, so it could do with more linking terms. Also, never heard of Venmo here in the UK haha (1 year, 5 months ago)

WayneJr @ #77099: Simple but enjoyable (1 year, 5 months ago)

Friend @ #77069: Good puzzle… connecting terms are too rigid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Kayla @ #77040: The last one makes no sense. I assume you meant the annagrams of each word are animals but... it's a stretch. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Pearl @ #77099: Nice. (1 year, 5 months ago)

B @ #76918: The lullaby connection doesn't seem to work when they could all be described as lullabies (1 year, 5 months ago)

Pearl @ #77103: Great grid. Maybe could tweak acceptable answer so an answer to another group isn’t the only acceptable answer? Eg “hurry”? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jay @ #77103: Fun grid, I think some of the connection answers need revising slightly (1 year, 5 months ago)

David @ #77083: doesn't accept numbers? (1 year, 5 months ago)

J @ #77039: The last blue row are all countries. They might have red whit and blue flags but that is not necessary to group them And the red group are all groups. They may be britpop as well but my answers to both lines are correct (1 year, 5 months ago)

salmacis @ #77087: Who is Charlie and Lola? And why does a golfer need a hat? (1 year, 5 months ago)

salmacis @ #77088: Really liked 3 of the categories, but the 'too-' category didn't fit so well I thought. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Phil @ #77069: Kristen - what wording did you submit for the categories that you knew but didn't match on? (1 year, 5 months ago)

MumRa @ #77074: Please add more alternative acceptable words! (1 year, 5 months ago)

MumRa @ #77076: Very good and interesting homophones! Just one little error: 4 (four) in French is quatre, not quarte, so pronunciation doesn't quite work with that one. (1 year, 5 months ago)

RedHotMamma @ #77088: BRILLIANT - best ever! I really enjoyed this. One of the categories was so hard. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jay @ #77088: Nice!! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ayem @ #77044: Excellent grid! Got the countries on a fluke luckily (1 year, 5 months ago)

JEREMY @ #77087: A hat?!?!? Exactly what I guessed @Alex Wojtak (1 year, 5 months ago)

RedHotMamma @ #30982: Very good (1 year, 5 months ago)

Alex Wojtak @ #77087: I've got to be honest, when I got down to 'a hat' 'a single glove' and 'balls' I thought it was going to be things that Michael Jackson grabs. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jay @ #77086: Excellent (1 year, 5 months ago)

RedHotMamma @ #77086: Excellent - really enjoyed this one. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Pzzz @ #76741: What Disney movies end with beauty and story? (1 year, 5 months ago)

SamuelP @ #77013: Very clever. I like the distinction between 'start with' and 'meaning' (1 year, 5 months ago)

salmacis @ #77075: Easy, but pretty good. (1 year, 5 months ago)

salmacis @ #77076: 'Son' really should be 'Sonny' to fit with the categories. And to me 'Cart' and 'Quatre' sound quite different. (1 year, 5 months ago)

steve @ #77074: bawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwt (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #77063: Some good ideas, but there are multiple, equally valid solutions to the grid. For example,Black could swap with White or Green (White Stripes, Green Day), Bee with Blue (Blue Öyster Cult). (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #77060: Nice groups and a fairly quick solve. The Alexandria group would have felt neater if all four entries had been wonders, or all four had been locations of the wonders, rather than there being two of each. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #77076: Excellent. I solved it with 12 secs to go. Just right. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Rob @ #77076: Good grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #77074: Good stuff! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #77069: Clever grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #77044: Nice grid. I had the osman group as words containing islands e.g. isle of man (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #76745: Nice grid. The plural point was well made. (1 year, 5 months ago)

steve @ #77073: this kmach's mom you speak of sounds super bangable. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Obs @ #77060: Hi, I liked your groups. If I may just point out Giza, Colossus (and serpent). The spelling matters because people can assume they are anagrams or red herrings and get confused. (1 year, 5 months ago)

wfaulk @ #39502: The button category makes no sense to me at all. Have you ever seen a ball of string? Also, do you go out of your way to find aggressively British things? (1 year, 5 months ago)

wfaulk @ #47646: I specifically picked an Australian one hoping that it wouldn't have uniquely British categories. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Confused us @ #77047: What on Earth do nazis have to do with 7? (1 year, 5 months ago)

steve @ #76527: Obs, SamuelP & Jason - not nearly as easy as ur mom. (banged her). Bedford - I jack hammered ur mom last night. Dave - nothing like I satisfied ur mom last night.

Anthony Adams @ #77023: I forgot a certain word in CEAN (1 year, 5 months ago)

wfaulk @ #37982: "Mass" is not "to have weight". I see what you're going for, but the wrong part of speech plus the technical inaccuracy is a little too far. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #77028: Bold but well done (1 year, 5 months ago)

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

wfaulk @ #53170: That is a really poorly rendered screwdriver. I thought it was an awl. The way the point is towards us and incredibly unrealistically sharp point made me dismiss the idea that it was a screwdriver. I didn't recognize Queen Elizabeth. I thought it was a photo of Gerald Ford. There are better photos of her from the same event. I have no idea who the singing group or the soccer player are. Also, f**k Roy Lichtenstein. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #77031: The category with Norway in it had a few other more obvious correct answers. I typed in very similar wording to the correct answer for the category including Oasis, and got no credit. You may want to add some more words. (1 year, 5 months ago)

wfaulk @ #29264: Completely blank. Every single one of the images are 404. (1 year, 5 months ago)

jakey @ #77006: Flare and comet are not synonyms for shooting stars (1 year, 5 months ago)

b @ #76881: "Gun" was rejected, so you might need to modify your group answers. Coleman is a brand, so I think it's stretching things a bit to use that in the mustard group. (1 year, 5 months ago)

cazza @ #77030: Preceded by "man"???? Man Candy, Man Fisher, Man Gentle, Man Sports???? (1 year, 5 months ago)

wfaulk @ #42675: The phrase is "Citizen's Arrest", not "Citizen Arrest". (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #77029: I'm not a fan of the colours/books group. It's very niche and even if people are familiar with the book they may still choose colours as that is the most obvious answer. Also the words meaning dad, may be worth adding synonyms for feeling depressed. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ragman @ #77026: Technically, potato is a tuber, not a root. Good Wall, my pedantic nonsense aside... (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bedford @ #76990: I agree with @weegieman, red herrings needed (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bedford @ #77003: Nice (1 year, 5 months ago)

Freddgar @ #77023: Maybe allow singulars ? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bedford @ #77006: Enjoyed the grid. Possibly edit to except more connections that mean the same thing, ie synonyms, record etc (1 year, 5 months ago)

salmacis @ #77029: The colours and heterogram categories were a bit much. (1 year, 5 months ago)

salmacis @ #76527: A bit too easy, and no red herrings. (1 year, 5 months ago)

salmacis @ #76973: Easy enough, though suffers a bit in the US-UK translation. (1 year, 5 months ago)

chumptastic @ #76826: Thanks, fixed! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #77009: For a British grid, I think rollercoasters at a Swedish theme park is a bit niche. Otherwise interesting (1 year, 5 months ago)

andperr @ #77003: @Chris - there's no diamond armor in Skyrim (1 year, 5 months ago)

andperr @ #77000: I agree with salmacis--the people category is weird because it's two Wests and two East(wood)s. To be cleaner, it should either be all the same direction or one of each. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Chris @ #76979: Nice grid! Thanks for creating. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Chris @ #77003: Nice grid but the Minecraft armour materials are found in plenty of other games. I went with 'Skyrim armour' and got a big fat nothing :( (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ro @ #77013: Fun grid- bit different (1 year, 5 months ago)

Miminem @ #77023: Didn’t like my Uk spelling of moustaches! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #77014: Good links, plenty of crossover. Nice grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #77018: A bit wordy for my taste but clever connections and any Nintendo references get my vote! Thanks (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #76527: Different uses of the connections - but light on red herrings. Nice grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #76970: Varied links. Very good. (1 year, 5 months ago)

mitchell @ #45435: (1 year, 5 months ago)

salmacis @ #77013: I think I would have preferred it if I wasn't able to answer all four categories with two words. I really liked the idea but wasn't sold on the "words beginning with" in the same grid as "words meaning". For me, this was half of a really great grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

salmacis @ #76990: 15 seconds. A record for me! Inconsistent capitalization and no red herrings were a shame. (1 year, 5 months ago)

salmacis @ #76998: Very nice, not too hard. (1 year, 5 months ago)

danny shaheen @ #45435: nuh uh (1 year, 5 months ago)

salmacis @ #76930: Nice grid. Having Ball as a clue and a category gave it away for me. (1 year, 5 months ago)

salmacis @ #77014: Really good grid. For absolute top quality, maybe don't have two categories that are generally the same, unless the grid is all four categories like that. But some nice red herrings, and not too hard. Five stars. (1 year, 5 months ago)

lebrone james @ #45435: yes (1 year, 5 months ago)

salmacis @ #77000: The people category was too vague for me - if you're going to do something like that, make it the *same* cardinal direction, otherwise it's just a list of names. Also, not sure about Peppermint belonging in that category, unless it's a specific American brand I don't know about. (1 year, 5 months ago)

salmacis @ #77003: The Minecraft category spoiled it for me - this is not something the average person would have a clue about. Shame, as the rest of the grid was good. (1 year, 5 months ago)

tiger king @ #76855: Nice grid. I am not crazy with "Energy of a stationary object," although I knew where you were going. A better clue would be "Energy of position." It a bit pedantic but more specific. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mainichi @ #76965: Nice grid! Was stuck on the character names, but still enjoyed it :) (1 year, 5 months ago)

ElSandifer @ #76963: Simply too many moving parts on this one. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mainichi @ #76964: Nice work! (1 year, 5 months ago)

ElSandifer @ #76913: Not general interest. (1 year, 5 months ago)

ElSandifer @ #76912: That She-Ra category might be a teensy bit too niche. (1 year, 5 months ago)

ElSandifer @ #76904: The category overlap between money and cities is probably excessive. (1 year, 5 months ago)

ElSandifer @ #76907: Lovely grid, but your linking words are wildly too strict, most notably requiring the accent on Pokemon and rejecting “laundry.” (1 year, 5 months ago)

nighttime @ #76930: @Ace: Yes, there should be an s at the end. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Juan Foyth @ #76947: Smashing (1 year, 6 months ago)

George @ #76921: Good grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Lbob @ #76756: this doesn't take into account British English spelling of colours - it told me I was wrong and the connection was 'colors' (1 year, 6 months ago)

Kumquat @ #76845: Nice! I got marked right when I was very wrong on a couple of these, so my confetti was wholly undeserved! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76906: The writer and actress groups, easy enough, but your very specific answer requirements aren't really justified unless there were to be others who might fit the more general category, (1 year, 6 months ago)

Peggy @ #24258: Love the John Cooper Clarke references. Pure genius. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76921: Nice idea, bit too simple perhaps. Could do with a few red herrings for more of a challenge. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76927: Nice one. Quite easy but oddly pleasing. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76930: Isn't there normally an S on the English /French spelling of Brugge? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Zara @ #76527: Fun and clever (1 year, 6 months ago)

Zara @ #76837: That was the hardest one I’ve ever done! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #76887: Really good one. The Arabic group I finally got the connection after starting at it at the end. It came from the depths of my brain somewhere. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mainichi @ #76885: Fair point - it would definitely be great if there was a link. However, these words are not just anagrams, but actually words that spell a completely different word when written backwards. That's what makes them special and, I think, worthy of their own connection. Still, thanks for the feedback :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #76885: Generally good grid. The anagram connection I'm not keen on. Usually the anagrams have a connection rather than just being anagrams. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mainichi @ #76890: Ah yes - fair comments. I guess I was thinking that a dot is synonymous with a spot, but I see how it could be confusing. Thanks for the feedback :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

barry wom @ #76876: High Qual. (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #76913: You either know the answers or you don't know them, which sort of takes the fun element out of it for me. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #76887: Great grid. The Arabic group was sneaky. I spotted it but was stuck trying to fit lemon in as well as orange - only remembered afterwards that lemon comes from Persian, not Arabic. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #76890: It's polka dot, not polka spot, but it still works, as there were no red herrings for that group, so it doesn't completely spoil the grid. Otherwise, it's a fun grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Nic @ #76907: Pokémon games could also be wedding anniversaries? Is ale the same as beer? Otherwise nice grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sdg83 @ #76899: Nice grid, thanks! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Eddy Sadler @ #76906: really good! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dev @ #76890: Nice grid. I kinda agree about polka dots but I guess a polka dot is a spot so it still fits the clue for me. 10/10 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Rob @ #76890: Very good - agree with Christo but close enough to work out the group (1 year, 6 months ago)

christo @ #76890: Good but I think it's polka dot rather than spot. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Jessica @ #76879: I agree with both of these comments, the group description is not accurate. Good board otherwise. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Theo @ #76855: That was so much fun! Thanks for a great grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

X @ #76862: Scissor Sisters are not an all-girl group. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Kent @ #76879: I agree with weegieman, “to lose something” implies it’s involuntary, whereas all the words in that group are deliberate, especially abandon and jettison (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #76879: Quibble: don't think to lose something is really accurate for the abandon group (1 year, 6 months ago)

Jo @ #76884: This was absolutely brilliant. Probably written by a genius (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #76883: Nice but please allow singular form of noun (ie band) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #76884: I enjoyed the grid, maybe edit to accept singular form of the noun? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #76853: Enjoyed this grid! (1 year, 6 months ago)

salmacis @ #76846: Glad the stripes clue worked. I was a bit worried people would complain about that one. "Aha! I know a barber shop quartet who wear blue and yellow!" "Wally? He's called Waldo!" "Bully is too obscure!" (1 year, 6 months ago)

SamuelP @ #76886: Great one, grid of the day for me. Non-Brits won't like it though. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ashish @ #76745: Nice one (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mainichi @ #76886: Excellent grid. Some tricky red herrings, but it's certainly doable. Great job! (1 year, 6 months ago)

cfaulk46 @ #76833: Brilliant grid! 5 stars for quality, 3 for difficulty, and a 10 out of 10 game! (1 year, 6 months ago)

kit @ #76848: Lovely connections , enjoyed this grid, thanks. (1 year, 6 months ago)

dill @ #76885: great grid with some excellent (but hard!) connections (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #76875: Well thought out but borderline impossible for my little brain, didn't get any of it. The @ group is clever but too way out there for my taste, have to brush up my Slovakian! (1 year, 6 months ago)

George @ #76842: Good grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mainichi @ #76881: Great grid! (1 year, 6 months ago)

George @ #76883: Good one! Bully for you (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mainichi @ #76846: Great - even though I only got one row. I managed to get all the connections tho and was kicking myself! Agreed - the stripes clue is great. Thanks (1 year, 6 months ago)

seb @ #76834: I think Hartbeat is correct - it was the art show for kids by Tony Hart. There is a different show called Heartbeat but that wasn't a kids show, so does fit the category. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ellie @ #75446: Most programming languages don't have word as a basic data type, its string. Good grid though (1 year, 6 months ago)

SamuelP @ #76883: Good one, I found it fairly easy (1 year, 6 months ago)

TVx3 @ #76873: Jon Pertwee spelling (1 year, 6 months ago)

Chris @ #76583: Happy to get one right (1 year, 6 months ago)

Chris @ #76596: Weak (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76825: @Fairy, yes, both are correct in this context. All liquids are fluid, but fluids include other stated including plasma and gas. So liquid here is more specific. (1 year, 6 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #76841: I think I am being dense over the 'semilogarithic' unless you mean semi-skimmed? (1 year, 6 months ago)

DH @ #76862: nice grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #76846: I liked this one. Loved the stripes. (1 year, 6 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #76834: I didn't know that about 'jay' either. I think it's Heartbeat - that threw me! Thanks (1 year, 6 months ago)

DH @ #76875: Very clever, foxed me! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #76834: I've never heard magpie and jay for chatterbox. You learn something! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #76825: Fairly straightforward with some nice crossovers. I'm not good on the scientific terminology, but would fluid and liquid mean the same thing? If so then I'm giving myself confetti (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #76824: Generally a nice simple grid. Being a bit pedantic I would say that to mince is not the same as to cut. It's more of a squashing. (1 year, 6 months ago)

salmacis @ #76873: One easy group, but Peter Davidson is spelled incorrectly. Three impossible groups. (1 year, 6 months ago)

salmacis @ #76875: Very good grid, even though I couldn't do it at all! (1 year, 6 months ago)

David @ #76770: Isles won't accept islands? (1 year, 6 months ago)

seb @ #76871: loved it. clever red herrings galore!!! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Davey @ #76873: 4/10 is ok (1 year, 6 months ago)

Shane @ #76873: Yep, specialist knowledge required here. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Davey @ #76870: 10/10 for me.... But I love films (1 year, 6 months ago)

Davey @ #76862: 10 in under a minute (1 year, 6 months ago)

film buff @ #76873: ** for the hardcore buff (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dane @ #76813: Phew - the element question is hard! Got the rest tho. Thanks! (1 year, 6 months ago)

SamuelP @ #76862: Very clever! Took me a while. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Jen @ #44941: Should be spelt Finnish Spitz (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dahlia @ #76862: Nice! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dirk @ #76871: Excellent! Was tricky, but I got there in the end :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #76862: Good stuff! (1 year, 6 months ago)

DH @ #76468: You are my new favourite puzzle setter. This is brilliant (1 year, 6 months ago)

DH @ #76855: Works just as well as the other variant puzzle. Nice one (1 year, 6 months ago)

DH @ #76854: This is absolutely brilliant. Thank you. I saw the pattern on my first attempt but it took me 3 attempts to finally figure it out. Very challenging, very enjoyable. Kudos (1 year, 6 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #76840: Nice grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #76841: Did not get the toilet set (1 year, 6 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #76842: Nice grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #76845: Lady Chatterley got me (1 year, 6 months ago)

Jennifer Isaac @ #76756: Very easy (1 year, 6 months ago)

Jennifer Isaac @ #76527: Great grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Jennifer Isaac @ #76766: Challenging but was able to get connection for each line. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Matthew @ #76852: Really good quick puzzle (1 year, 6 months ago)

ElSandifer @ #76849: Don’t love two decoys for the same category within nails (finger and acrylic). Makes it nigh impossible if those are your final two, especially since latex is such a weird pick. (1 year, 6 months ago)

ElSandifer @ #76815: “Achieve victory” should be in past tense so it’s not “win.” Accept 1 and 4 for their categories as well as the words spelled out. Fun tho. (1 year, 6 months ago)

sdg83 @ #76848: Very good, thanks (1 year, 6 months ago)

ElSandifer @ #76766: The chip brand is Lay’s, not Lay, which does rather spoil that one (1 year, 6 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #76848: So many Toms (1 year, 6 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #76849: Nice grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #76527: Very easy (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #76848: Got 2 groupings and 3 connections. Ty! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superman @ #76833: Sorry for the “Hat” problem. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mel @ #76766: Good fun (1 year, 6 months ago)

BallSaxbury @ #73674: 24 seconds 10/10 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Josh @ #76838: @Bedford, yeah it seems like they directly copied it. I also agree Seven should be accepted. (1 year, 6 months ago)

BallSaxbury @ #76846: 10/10 with 43 seconds left. Amazing grid! (1 year, 6 months ago)

markinscotland @ #76766: Lot of fun this one! 5/5 (1 year, 6 months ago)

SN @ #76838: Accept seven as a search term (1 year, 6 months ago)

salmacis @ #76840: Pretty tricky connections. (1 year, 6 months ago)

salmacis @ #76842: Really liked this one. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Game Master @ #76829: Thumbs up (1 year, 6 months ago)

Stewy @ #76842: Nice groups easy but quality (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #76290: Enjoyed it! Thank you for making this grid! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #76836: Expand connection to animal, plus the other to just fat. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Roy @ #76845: Excellent (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #76829: I just did my grid again and now think it might be a bit tricky. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #76833: Ok (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #76833: It didn't accept singular for hat, but other than that i enjoyed it (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #76838: I agree. Seven should be acceptable as well as rapper singular. Very very similar to recent connections posted NY Times... hmmmm (1 year, 6 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #76833: Batter? (1 year, 6 months ago)

sdg83 @ #76842: Nice grid! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Kevin @ #76833: Incorrect for "hat". The answer; type of hats. Robbed I was...😄 (1 year, 6 months ago)

ls @ #33156: this stumped two harvard students for seven minutes (1 year, 6 months ago)

SamuelP @ #76841: Hmm. Planets and gods again (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ewan @ #76761: Worthy of Only Connect, that one. But unless you're talking about the daft movie adaptaptation, it is called Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superman @ #76841: Please feel free to comment. (1 year, 6 months ago)

njc @ #76838: Nice! More explanation on the groups would be great! (e.g. septet, great group though) The rappers group should probably accept 'rapper' (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superman @ #76527: I think that was a bit too easy, maybe add some red hearings in next time? PLZ do my Puzzgrid No. 76833. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Zara @ #76290: Good job team I got a bit confused! Zara (1 year, 6 months ago)

njc @ #76836: Nice! Two thoughts 1. One group starts with capital letters and the others don't, so that was easy :-p (instructions say all should start with a capital) 2. Another group is easy to think are just 'animals', maybe that should also get the point? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superman @ #76761: Good grid. Go to grid 76833 (1 year, 6 months ago)

salmacis @ #76764: For that matter most camp sites will ban fires as well... (1 year, 6 months ago)

salmacis @ #76764: Marshmallow at a campsite?? (1 year, 6 months ago)

SamuelP @ #76824: Nice one, I just got it in time. Salmacis: Tin, neon, silver, nitrogen (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superman @ #76833: Thanks, I made it (1 year, 6 months ago)

Frankie @ #76833: Good grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Puzzgrid person @ #76833: I love it, 5 stars! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Terry @ #76826: The Repeat of Jordan is on oversight (1 year, 6 months ago)

salmacis @ #76824: Why are Domino and Dice 'black and white'? They *can* be, but it's not a defining quality. And I could only find two of the anagrams - would be helpful if they were spelt out in the answer. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #74442: Got 2 groupings and 2 connections (1 year, 6 months ago)

tiger king @ #76764: I would have never gotten the Met ones in a million years. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superman @ #76830: Same (1 year, 6 months ago)

Jenni @ #76784: So clever (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #76830: Got 2 groupings and 3 connections. Clueless on castles (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #76829: Made another, hope it's not too easy. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #76592: Saint singular ought to be included as it is the word which can precede those names (1 year, 6 months ago)

cfaulk46 @ #76815: Great grid. Good use of homophones too. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #76815: Nice (1 year, 6 months ago)

cfaulk46 @ #74442: I'm not sure why this had a German flag on it, but it's a good grid anyhow. 10 out of 10, but it took me almost the whole timer to tie one or two of the groups together! Good call though. (1 year, 6 months ago)

sdg83 @ #76817: Nice fun grid, thanks. Think Birmingham etc could count cities with canals? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Jeezee @ #76815: Forearm is between elbow and wrist, not the upper arm (1 year, 6 months ago)

gridlington @ #76807: 🤣 It's true! The test is; leave it out on a plate for a few hours. If it goes hard it's a cake, if it goes soft, it's a biscuit. Jaffa cakes go hard. (There's a clue in the name!) (1 year, 6 months ago)

gridlington @ #76810: Hmm... Juliet Bravo wasn't the name of the character. It was her radio callsign, unrelated to her name (1 year, 6 months ago)

The man himself @ #76724: Absolutely amazing stuff. Wish there was a subscribe button so I can do your next quizzes! (1 year, 6 months ago)

timbo @ #76735: None of the rest of the Avengers do you use their real names... only Tony Stark, following the other three examples that one should be "man". Or alternatively should be Romanov, Rogers, and Barton... (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sterling @ #33156: Battleship is not a monopoly piece (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dirk @ #76604: Great anagram clue! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #76795: I really enjoyed this one, lots of different crossovers. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fred @ #76810: Enjoyable - thank you! (1 year, 6 months ago)

X @ #76807: The Jaffa Cake has been judged to be a cake, and not a biscuit, in a court of law. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76807: Jaffa cake is not a biscuit! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #76756: I'm sorry, but the misspelling of colour means you lose all the stars. Especially as colour doesn't give you the marks. Now if I hadn't got the point for that group due to pedantry that defined both black and white as shades rather than colours you would have recurved all the marks. After all, we like a bit of pedantry. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Josh @ #76670: Mathematical Constant category should also accept irrational numbers, The Gambling numbers seem a bit too disconnected to me but maybe that his just me. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #76800: Thank you! (1 year, 6 months ago)

cazza @ #76784: Enjoy these grids (1 year, 6 months ago)

POOKMAN6+ @ #76808: Enjoyed that, good mix. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #76766: Enjoyed (1 year, 6 months ago)

jeff @ #76768: i put "old" for the bailey/trafford/navy/milwaukee group and didn't get credit (1 year, 6 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #76784: Always enjoyable TY (1 year, 6 months ago)

Marylin Smith @ #76761: The book was Charlie, and the film was Willy Wonka (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #76781: The Beanie baby group is far too niche. There are beanie babies with so many different names. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #76787: Did not let me have veg😒 I also added "b". Oh well, never mind (1 year, 6 months ago)

Kensuke @ #30903: One of the worst grids around (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #76770: Chris - I feel that shires makes more sense. Towns and cities isn't specific. There is a clear definition that differentiates. Towns and cities that give their names to countries would be fine though. I liked this grid. Simple but effective and well thought out. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #76745: Thought it was very straightforward but I just hit lucky - when I checked back there were more red herrings than I spotted initially - nice work. (1 year, 6 months ago)

scc @ #76801: This is outstanding. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #76718: Agree with above about Netherlands. Holland is part of the Netherlands, but it isn't the Netherlands. A country like North Macedonia would be a better option in this group as they have more recently been recognised by their new names. Or Türkiye? The film one is a bit tenuous as well. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #76713: Challenging. I think some like the anagrams of Van Gogh are unlikely to be identified in 10 minutes let alone 3 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Plod @ #76787: Too general Chris. (1 year, 6 months ago)

YxngFresco @ #76799: Sorry guys, one of the categories isn’t working. You’ll know which. I’ll try and edit it (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dahlia @ #76784: Good grid! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Chris @ #76787: "Types of food" should be an acceptable answer for the rhubarb group. (1 year, 6 months ago)

CalamityJ @ #76789: Loved it! (1 year, 6 months ago)

SamuelP @ #76791: Maybe. Same thing happened with streetlight grids about an hour ago (1 year, 6 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #76787: The potato connection could also be 'b'. Thanks! (1 year, 6 months ago)

TVx3 @ #76791: Is there a bug in the software? I only submitted this grid once. (1 year, 6 months ago)

SamuelP @ #76771: Getting the groups was easier than it looked at first glance. But some of the connections were very obscure (1 year, 6 months ago)

Chris @ #76735: Some more thought needed on this one to do it more justice: "Synonyms for pot" not accepted as a link. Marvel characters jump from using actual last names to hero last words (i.e. Captain America vs Tony Stark and not Iron Man). Fire over flame. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Chris @ #76736: Good grid, took 53 seconds to solve. Didn't get the Amityville link, but that's probably because I'm in the UK. Keep it up. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Kensuke @ #76755: Pookey we've missed you. Please call me on 07444339264 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Chris @ #76745: 14 seconds, which yes means easy, but also means well grouped. Nothing wrong with easy, keep up the good gridding! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #76784: Yes I did have to say them out loud lucky no one in office but me today! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Chris @ #76758: Should really accept "synonyms for moan" but doesn't. (1 year, 6 months ago)

JustfunFGS! @ #76784: **Yes, accents vary a little. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #76770: Chris there are lots of ways to connect the 'shires' group but the setter can choose which one get the points we can just grind our teeth when we guess the wrong one. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Doddy @ #76760: Amazing grid!!!!! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #76522: Very nice grid good cross overs. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #76745: Nothing wrong with easy! Good one for children. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Chris @ #76705: Nice grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

SamuelP @ #76770: Nice but very easy! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Chris @ #76770: Feel like the shires group should also accept "UK towns and cities". (1 year, 6 months ago)

SamuelP @ #76761: The title is wrong, as pointed out by salmacis (1 year, 6 months ago)

nighttime @ #76770: Nice grid, but it's the Isles of Scilly (plural.) There is no actual Isle of Scilly (singular.) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76761: Very straightforward and fun. @salmacis, that was the name of the 1971 movie, but yeah, the book and the later remake were not so named. (1 year, 6 months ago)

salmacis @ #76762: Yeah, at this point, NATO alphabet categories should be automatically rejected. (1 year, 6 months ago)

salmacis @ #76761: Surely it's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, not Willy Wonka? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #76772: Nice and easy grid Couple of good red herrings there 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76770: A nice very easy start to the day :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #76770: Very easy, but enjoyable. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Keith @ #76591: If you post under the UK you could accept the English spelling of “colour” (1 year, 6 months ago)

cfaulk46 @ #76761: That was about as hard as a Janet and John early reader. 17 seconds to complete, 10 out of 10, triple super easy grid with sprinkles and confetti. (1 year, 6 months ago)

penguin @ #54760: chied fricken (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fred @ #76766: Very enjoyable. Thank you! (1 year, 6 months ago)

penguin @ #54838: less pop culture 😠 >:( (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dave @ #76527: Dang, tough crowd. This was so satisfying to complete, loved it! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Don @ #76761: That took me exactly 20 seconds too. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Izzy @ #16586: I love these, JSilverman!! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Don @ #76762: NATO phonetic alphabet. Where do you get your crazy ideas? (1 year, 6 months ago)

bruce @ #76475: true (1 year, 6 months ago)

Nora @ #76759: "sortie" and "sally" are not walks without purpose (1 year, 6 months ago)

g @ #76755: For the green set, youve put magpie in the notes instead of the actual answer (1 year, 6 months ago)

mal @ #76745: fine but very easy (1 year, 6 months ago)

Trefoil @ #76761: Took me ,52 secs and 10/10 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mr UK @ #76761: Yes but you haven't seen the groups dozens of times before. It gives you the edge when they are familiar. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mv @ #76699: Excellent, Peep Show red herring at all? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #76761: Mr UK I got 30 seconds and i made the grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mr UK @ #76761: 20 seconds. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Game Master @ #76761: Names are too difficult (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #76527: Haven't heard of jack fruit before (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #76731: Oof (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76718: Netherlands was never actually called Holland, it's just a generally accepted alternative. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #76758: Keep them up! Solid grid! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dodfrey @ #76731: Great grid! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mr UK @ #76738: Must be lots of USA here these days. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mr UK @ #76756: @ Andy, not necessarily. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Grid of the week @ #76756: Wasn't this originally based on Only Connect? (1 year, 6 months ago)

MCoys @ #76756: Managed it just in time, thanks. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Andy @ #76736: Found 2 groups and 3 connections. Thought it was a good wall, I just don't have enough knowledge of US things. It is advertised as a US author so can't complain. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Hatfield @ #76756: Keep them coming! (1 year, 6 months ago)

LOL @ #76756: Andy?? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Andy @ #76756: Didn't get full marks because I spelled colour correctly. Me thinks you're not British after all... (1 year, 6 months ago)

America @ #76756: Perfect for us! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Game Master @ #76745: Challenging but I still got it (1 year, 6 months ago)

MRS B @ #76756: Really challenging as always. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Billybob @ #76756: Ooo too hard for me. (1 year, 6 months ago)

USA @ #76756: My favourites (1 year, 6 months ago)

LOL @ #76756: Wow best ever! (1 year, 6 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76736: I agree with neil - my favourite one of yours so far - just the right level of challenge (1 year, 6 months ago)

Pauline @ #76716: Hamstring is not a muscle (1 year, 6 months ago)

Rob @ #76725: Very good grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76725: Agreed Cazza - a refreshing lack of major league sports teams, soap characters or game characters ….👍👍👍👍 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76736: Please don’t dial it back This was a good grid - good overlaps and classic format I actually found it very easy - 10 points solved in 68 seconds - but I don’t mark grids down just because I find them hard anyway - some are supposed to be hard !, (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76738: Tend agree - prince shouldn’t have been in a band group - double headed group titles don’t work…. King was a band too - and Emperor is a bed - so you could still make it work Apart from that one of your trickier grids - pleasing to solve ! Keep them coming (1 year, 6 months ago)

SamuelP @ #75895: Excellent, connecting wall meets missing vowels. Took me 5 minutes. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76750: Lost a star from me for a grid that can only be solved by puzzgrid puzzle setters - if that isn’t niche I don’t know what is . Even as a puzzgrid player I don’t know what one of the options is - it’s just a squidgy black blob even zoomed in - and the answer is always rabbit … Otherwise a nice easy grid !! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #76752: Difficult (1 year, 6 months ago)

X @ #76750: Should accept 'homonyms' as well as 'homophones'. (1 year, 6 months ago)

r-f @ #71825: Only problem was there was more than one correct way to solve this. You could swap out Raphael for either Michelangelo or Donatello and both lists would still work fine. (1 year, 6 months ago)

SamuelP @ #76751: Hmm, me too, only one group. A bit too obscure (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #76751: Only able to get 1 group (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #76749: Thought the one-syllable one was a wee bit weak, but otherwise enjoyable. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Josh @ #76710: you can’t have 3 categories be one thing! haha it’s too hard if you don’t know specifically taylor songs (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mamasan @ #76750: Well thought out (1 year, 6 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #76750: Neat (1 year, 6 months ago)

Josh @ #76738: loved this (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #76749: Thank you for the challenge! (1 year, 6 months ago)

james @ #76735: Maybe I'm weird, but the lack of capitalization really bothered me (1 year, 6 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76745: Nice and straightforward - just one thing - try to avoid putting one group only as plurals - makes it easy to spot without much further thought. Good warm up grid. Thank you. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #76745: This might be too easy (1 year, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #76736: I found it easy to solve the wall, got 3 of the rows. Didn't understand the reference to Mount Vernon row, just my lack of knowledge. (Just looked it up) OIC definitely my lack of knowledge. Good grid, couple of excellent red herrings. Well done. You win10-7. Thanks for posting. (1 year, 6 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76741: Darn it - I mixed up my eggs and my horses! Nice grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76743: Clever ? I guess so - but not really in the spirit of gridding - totally unsolvable in the time limit. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #76735: Fire instead of flame perhaps? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #76739: I only got half of them (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #76741: Challenging. Got the groups but didn't get all the connections (1 year, 6 months ago)

HighPriestessofBoogie @ #76029: I don't think the math works on firetruck. Don't you have to remove 5 letters? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #68266: Just challenging enough to make it interesting. Enjoyed it. Sir Huffington said it better though (1 year, 6 months ago)

HighPriestessofBoogie @ #65919: need to accept choral parts (1 year, 6 months ago)

ammy @ #76741: The clues are so so specific. They want one precise phrase, which isn't possible to guess (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #72893: Great grid for beginners or kids! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #76736: I'll dial it back on future grids (1 year, 6 months ago)

HighPriestessofBoogie @ #68266: Loved this - clever. Was looking for Al. (1 year, 6 months ago)

HighPriestessofBoogie @ #72893: Actually, the full name would be St. Valentine's Day, and either way, it absolutely fits. All of these count in US as holidays. This is an extremely easy grid- good to send to a beginner. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Them! @ #76729: PMs? (1 year, 6 months ago)

HighPriestessofBoogie @ #74426: Oddly contrived just for dimes, times, rhymes, crimes, but I get it. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Chris @ #65699: (1 year, 6 months ago)

Kent @ #76740: I think you need to accept “universities” as an answer for the UCD/Trinity group (1 year, 6 months ago)

PadstheFish @ #76740: The Trinity group needs some more key words as there are synonyms I put that didn't work. The range should also be expanded. Hope that makes sense (1 year, 6 months ago)

Lia @ #76738: that was a good one, it got me! But I could see the connections (1 year, 6 months ago)

Lia @ #76736: So probably not for a younger audience (1 year, 6 months ago)

Lia @ #76736: It was difficult, just kinda gave up cause I didn’t know some of the words (1 year, 6 months ago)

cazza @ #76725: Yes, some of it is UK specific but at least it does not involve niche sporting or US soaps knowledge! (1 year, 6 months ago)

David @ #76583: Needs to be more accepting (1 year, 6 months ago)

JEREMY @ #76738: Very, very good good. Loved the half groups and crossovers. The band group needed to be a little tighter, but I see why you wanted them in. Bravo (1 year, 6 months ago)

David @ #76688: What's body check? (1 year, 6 months ago)

louise @ #76736: Must depends on what you know, did not find it overly difficult, just enough to be interesting! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Game Master @ #76736: Too difficult (1 year, 6 months ago)

Game Master @ #76738: Difficult (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #76738: Fedora Love to hear that you enjoy playing them! I enjoy making them. Win win!😊 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fedora @ #76738: Your puzzles are my favorites :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

jellyfish @ #76732: Fun grid, but too much overlap where answers for one section could still fit with another. Would be better if once you get the category, it's clear that only the 4 in that category could be in it. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #76736: Let me know what you think. I'll keep making them if people enjoy them! 😉 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Hubba @ #76719: Scored 5/10. Tough, fair, well constructed. Best grid I've seen in a while. Thank you! (1 year, 6 months ago)

kit @ #76689: Yes I wondered if Castle Rock was something else as well! Thanks all for the great feedback. Salmacis exactly the same thing happened to me last week, but I saw it in time so maybe the chances are greater than we think! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Stephen @ #76698: Scarlett (two t's) is not a color; you're thinking of Scarlet (one t) (1 year, 6 months ago)

TheJoker @ #76729: Ok, edited to allow brands. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sophox @ #76729: Brands? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sophox @ #76731: Excellent grid! Nice range of answer types, my favourite (1 year, 6 months ago)

alt @ #76716: I agree with Richard (1 year, 6 months ago)

gergo @ #75994: (1 year, 6 months ago)

SamuelP @ #76689: Sorry @J @Kit, you are both wrong, Castle Rock is a brewery! Good grid, definitely deserves its grid of the day award. (1 year, 6 months ago)

cklev @ #76726: There was a typo that is now fixed. (1 year, 6 months ago)

gergo @ #69464: (1 year, 6 months ago)

J @ #76689: Good Grid. Castle Rock possibly better known to some as the fictional town in Maine where Stephen King bases a lot of his stories. Also the name of his psychological horror series that aired on Hulu 2018-19. Also the basis for Rob Reiner naming his production company (now part of Warner Brothers) Castle Rock Entertainment. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #76714: Enjoyed this one (1 year, 6 months ago)

MT @ #76728: “Ball ball” seems like a stretch (1 year, 6 months ago)

GLOBAL GIRLS @ #76689: THIS WAS FIENDISH AFFFFFF RAWR (1 year, 6 months ago)

Rob @ #76693: I would argue that a Parish in Louisiana is the equivalent to a county, but perhaps I could have chosen a better descriptor. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Noyonika @ #64530: Thank you so much for everything you have done for me this year! I have really enjoyed Physics lessons throughout the year, and have always exited with a smile on my face. Thank you Mr Kent- I will miss learning from you, and hope you be your student in the (not-so-distant) future! (1 year, 6 months ago)

salmacis @ #76726: I don't get the ball connection. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Lucia @ #64530: We'll all miss you (from Lucia & Raphael) :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

James @ #64530: Thank you for teaching us! (1 year, 6 months ago)

salmacis @ #76689: I don't believe it, exactly the same category as one of mine, even though I didn't see yours first. What are the chances!? Nice grid though. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #76726: Can't see the logic for one of the connections - two of the options don't seem to fit at all and one is a repeat of the answer? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #76689: Excellent grid - loved the variety in the types of link. Thanks (1 year, 6 months ago)

SamuelP @ #76725: Nice one. I got it but it will be tough for non-Brits. (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #76710: Too niche for my taste, not immediately accessible to the man on the street (1 year, 6 months ago)

kit @ #76721: The groups do make sense, though there are two that not many would know, so the explanations need to be more specific rather than initials. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Andy @ #76716: Just awful (1 year, 6 months ago)

Andy @ #76719: Really enjoyed this one - only 3/10 though! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Alison @ #76721: This is utter nonsense (1 year, 6 months ago)

Richard @ #76716: I'll not a fan of hidden words that break across a line (1 year, 6 months ago)

Richard @ #76721: I've read the answers and I'm none the wiser. "Characters"? Hhtyd? Oh, and the "Janes" group doesn't accept "Jane " but that's the least of my worries (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ro @ #76574: Enjoyable grid with a fun extra layer of the groups being connected (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sophox @ #76689: Lovely (1 year, 6 months ago)

Plod @ #76664: Shame! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fred @ #76710: Garbage! (1 year, 6 months ago)

gergo @ #76689: (1 year, 6 months ago)

Johnny @ #76716: trombone and saxophone spelt wrong, and saxophone is a wood wind instrument not a brass instrument, also the presidents group for some reason accepted 'musical styles'?? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sue @ #76716: The Joey group also accepts 'australia' as being correct (1 year, 6 months ago)

Davey @ #76716: Good grief (1 year, 6 months ago)

Penguin @ #76705: @Wye+Knott 😁 thank you. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dudley @ #76716: saxophone and trombone a spelled incorrect. You can't have a group where it's sometimes the first name of a president, and sometimes the surname... (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gaz @ #76716: Trombone (1 year, 6 months ago)

B @ #76689: Very good grid! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #76686: O.K. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #76705: Very happy to now know Barwick. For this, if nothing else, I thank you. 😁 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #76664: Had to laugh, I put off for Korf, could not think of anything else. Am ashamed I thought you might lower your standards to my thought process. 😉 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superman @ #76713: I love it. That's probably because I made it. Wait. I'm sending an email to myself? Will that even work? Oh, well. (1 year, 6 months ago)

SamuelP @ #76692: Should accept 11! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Andy @ #76689: Brilliant - really enjoyed this one! (1 year, 6 months ago)

X @ #76686: Liam Gallagher has never been a "musician". (1 year, 6 months ago)

whaleroad @ #76698: Really enjoyed this grid. Fell down on the fruit connection because in the UK we call them stones rather than pits. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sara @ #76710: "Ivy" is on "Evermore," not "Folklore" (1 year, 6 months ago)

L @ #76672: Why couldn't I instead say that Germany, Austria, Italy, and Russia are European countries, and USA, Canada, China, and Japan are countries on the Pacific? You need to make sure there's only one solution. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Andy @ #76287: Really good, thank you! (1 year, 6 months ago)

X @ #76693: A parish is not a "human settlement". (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dandelion @ #76626: Thanks! Venus was the fifth Turtle (and the only female Turtle), introduced in the 1997 live-action series. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Lucy @ #59048: Bought and boat are not homonyms in many accents. I’m from Manchester and I wouldn’t say them the same - maybe the person who wrote this is from Yorkshire or further north in Lancashire (1 year, 6 months ago)

Tricemmatops @ #76698: What is miraculous ladybug? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Kevin Norman @ #21280: Great grid! Thanks (1 year, 6 months ago)

bluejay @ #76700: What a delicious puzzle. Mmm! My tummy feels nice after this one. (1 year, 6 months ago)

CRAs @ #76700: Hi! These are modified versions of "Cognitive Remote Associates" puzzles, or CRAs. They're very tricky and I thought they would be fun for puzzgrid. It's helpful to have an idea of what you're looking for when solving these, so look out for the "CRAs" username for a hint if I post more puzzles in the future. Enjoy :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #76689: Nice and easy straightforward grid 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #76699: Nice one, but..."How very dare you" Jeeves was a gentleman's gentleman not a lowly butler :-) Thanks for posting (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #76698: I enjoyed this one. Might edit categories, my answer matched but i didn't put the plural from and didn't get points (1 year, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #76693: Nice and easy grid Couple of good red herrings 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 6 months ago)

whaleroad @ #76697: Very good (1 year, 6 months ago)

whaleroad @ #76693: I liked this grid a lot and only fell down because I couldn't think of a word to describe the settlements - my bad. (1 year, 6 months ago)

SamuelP @ #76683: 👍 (1 year, 6 months ago)

RedHotMamma @ #54971: Excellent (1 year, 6 months ago)

RedHotMamma @ #21280: Perhaps a little bit easy for medium as the Queen category is quite popular. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Quizzling @ #76675: Is it too early for a mojito? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Quizzling @ #76672: Always like a geography grid. Just a point of order though: Samoa is an independent country; you're thinking of American Samoa. (1 year, 6 months ago)

SamuelP @ #76672: Allow islands? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mrs Gnomi @ #76195: Fun! (1 year, 6 months ago)

SamuelP @ #76671: Haha, non-Brits will struggle with this one! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bruce @ #76640: Don't like the singular/plural mixes. "Meat" is ridiculously vague - I said "roast dinner" and it was wrong. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #76625: Very good, thanks for making :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

SamuelP @ #76657: Good fun (1 year, 6 months ago)

CalamityJ @ #76644: Loved this one! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76626: Err, I'm no expert, but I didn't think Venus de Milo was a Turtle. Nice grid apart from that - angel red herrings were clever. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Rootbeer Queer @ #76666: So... First group, members of Queen I saw almost immediately, as I did for David Attenborough group; The Attenborough group needs to be much wider in its response for answers. I put in 5 words connected to the whole group, and none of them matched, despite them all being accurate. The Pesci group I got with a correct answer, but not the row with Chris Penn in. It might be worth editing this board, if you have the edit link. It's a good board, but you do need to make changes to the accepted answers. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76640: The answers didn't specify, but as far as I can see the bird group are all plural/mass noun forms, which I don't think can apply to turkey. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #76612: Although I give this 5 stars I do hate the ones where the answer is a nick name or a shortened name. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76656: Nice easy grid :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76657: Agree with DH - it needs to accept Marsupial (1 year, 6 months ago)

whaleroad @ #76672: Great grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76639: Some flaws in this grid I’m afraid Six reds and then an extra one included in the red group which isn’t a red but a name. Makes it a bit frustrating (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76671: Liked the overlapping red herrings. Glad that the R4 connection wasn't required, just comedians was enough. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #76639: Agree with both Jen and Don (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76671: Easy for me - and anyone who listens to R4 and is a R H regular!! Nice multiple overlaps :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76625: Some nice overlaps in this one. I’ve never been to that particular theme park - but all four are actually movie / film titles too - which was my guess Still fun and actually a bit better with the overlaps :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #76614: I enjoyed this one! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Shell @ #76619: Fun puzzle. I suggest you add dental to the list of links or use dent so that other endings are accepted. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #76621: Found this intriguing but too difficult. I couldn't get one group. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #76616: Very very difficult for the average person. Needs more variety in catagories (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bedford @ #76619: I enjoyed making this puzzle. I was trying for medium difficulty but high interest. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #76619: Had me going with Mirror. I liked this a lot (1 year, 6 months ago)

Chris @ #76577: Good grid, thanks for creating! But linking words need to be improved. For example I put 'star sign animals' for the 'animals of the zodiac' group and got a big red cross. Misspelt chili too (I typed chilli), which is a fair mistake I'd say. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sophox @ #76572: Very enjoyable categories, bit easy but fun nonetheless! (1 year, 6 months ago)

SamuelP @ #75978: Very nice, just got it in time! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Arcadian @ #76574: Good stuff and nice homophone for the towns. Although I always dislike when a clue mixes up answers with two words (New Order) and one word (Newfoundland)! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Lyrical-Lee @ #76548: I didn't solve any within the time... got all the links, though. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #76542: I agree with Neil, but fun nevertheless (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76532: Seconded - synonyms should be accepted (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76517: Overlaps are usually a good thing - but there is supposed to be only one valid solution. Too many from the room groups are interchangeable leaving multiple fully valid solutions. Eg swapping drawer and table leaves both groups valid - and there are other ways to do that with this grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76542: All rated at a barbecue? Nope but they can all be beef Horse as a chess piece ? Bed associated with bed ? Needs a bit more care - could easily have been a decent grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

A S @ #76389: Honolulu is misspelled. Great wall! (1 year, 6 months ago)

A S @ #76404: If you're going to count an avocado as a berry, you can't count strawberries or raspberries. An avocado is a berry only in the botanical sense (like blueberries, bananas, watermelons), and strawberries and raspberries and almost all "-berries" besides blueberry are only colloquially berries. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Hash @ #76532: I think the "mash" category should accept "synonyms" as an acceptable response but I enjoyed this grid very much! 5 stars (1 year, 6 months ago)

A S @ #76468: Almost perfect, except "at work" doesn't fit the group, as all the others precede men, and "At Work" follows men. Otherwise, great and clever board. (1 year, 6 months ago)

A S @ #76478: Hand group was surprisingly inappropriate. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Kevin Norman @ #76526: Great puzzle. Thanks (1 year, 6 months ago)

A S @ #76516: A desk is not really bedroom furniture unless you're a student. In any case, you won't find it in the bedroom section of a furniture store. (1 year, 6 months ago)

A S @ #76515: Feedback: - Anagrams that are not words are both easy and not particularly interesting - Caesar salad is spelled with an "ae" - "Traits of serial killers" is a very generic group and 3/4 are synonyms or near-synonyms. - "Famous women" is far too generic a group - If it is "famous women", it should accept "women" - Similarly, "salads" should accept "salad" (1 year, 6 months ago)

A S @ #76518: Really loved the Al Pacino group, but the grid is let down by the fact that Spider-Man cannot fly (except the way everybody can, in a plane) and including Tom Cruise because he can fly with a plane is a little bit of a stretch. Also, three actors and one director to make the group "people involved" seems poor form. I'd replace Jackson with a LotR actor to make the group feel cohesive. (1 year, 6 months ago)

A S @ #76520: Lots of missing acceptable words for connections: "top" isn't accepted "rock formations" not accepted "movie" isn't accepted (didn't try "tv show", but should be accepted as well) (1 year, 6 months ago)

BallSaxbury @ #57078: 6/10 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gozi @ #76520: You really should add more tags. Geography, movies (all those apply to more than plays), best, top, ultimate. There's too many synonyms to nail the correct one. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid @ #38312: Are you sure clark is an occupation? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Max Power @ #76513: @J, Christopher Plummer wasn't knighted. Billy Connolly has been, but he wasn't offered Gandalf as far as I can tell. Though that could have been a very different film if he was! (1 year, 6 months ago)

J @ #76513: I believe all actors have been knighted, which would be another connection. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bromide @ #76513: Enjoyed that - thanks. Got 9/10. Nice red herrings with the muppets and there are also four "sirs" there which I got caught up on. Didn't guess the Gandalf category, I had no idea Christopher Plummer and Patrick Stewart had been offered that role. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Matt @ #76476: good one. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Atticus @ #76511: Interestingly your heteronym group could also all be followed by 'down' which is an odd coincidence given one of the other groups (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gozi @ #76494: You should make sure your tags include all possible options. Also one of them doesn't make sense because of the spelling of the answer. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #76361: 😆, Me £ foolish. Liked it (1 year, 6 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76391: classic grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Rob @ #76391: Great grid but need to include “collective nouns” as an acceptable answer for the animals group please, that is the common terminology (1 year, 6 months ago)

doktorvox @ #76382: I typed "marijuana" for #3 and "Zelda" for #4 and didn't get points for either. Bad scoring tags. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Paul @ #76376: Nice work with Richard, but Paul's name is actually James (1 year, 6 months ago)

tiredmusicmajor @ #76351: Some of these could be multiple connections. And I was counted wrong because I clicked the wrong iteration of alto and tenor (1 year, 6 months ago)

ElSandifer @ #76380: Loved this. Brutal but fair. Pity “Ten” can’t be spelled out, but I agree that it can’t be. (1 year, 6 months ago)

ElSandifer @ #76382: “Zelda” should be added as an accepted word for the relevant category. I’m also slightly irked by the lack of capitalization, especially on the category that’s proper nouns, but I’ll admit that’s pedantry. (1 year, 6 months ago)

ElSandifer @ #76381: Three out of the four categories are simply too obscure to feel fair or guessable. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Murdo @ #76371: (Spoiler Alert) ... Edinburgh does not have a comedy festiival. Many people think of the Fringe Festival as a comedy festival (as it contains way too much comedy) but it does have good stuff too. (1 year, 6 months ago)

George @ #76368: Not so sure about the outpizza group (1 year, 6 months ago)

Stewy @ #76358: And I didn’t mean stop, I meant slow down. (1 year, 6 months ago)

George @ #76377: Perhaps a little easy but enjoyable (1 year, 6 months ago)

Stewy @ #76358: Sorry, I didn’t intend to be rude. You group connections are weak. I don’t get fire in the camera group. It comes across as if you have shovelled half a dozen in at once, much like pressing an auto computer gen button. I like easy grids, they are in many ways harder to create with quality. You’ll get much more satisfaction from posting a good easy one rather than 10 hard or average ones. And thanks for posting it. Lots of love stewy (1 year, 6 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76363: Loved the philosophers group. Didn't see it at all ! (1 year, 6 months ago)

RedHotMamma @ #76365: Enjoyed this - difficult categories but I am too dense to have seen the red herring. (1 year, 6 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76364: "popular" was a bit vague for me - would have been even better if there was some more specific linkage between them (1 year, 6 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76366: I thought one of the groups was about hussling - words that contain a word meaning stung - i found get, lure and con ! (1 year, 6 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76369: lovely (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #76302: Some of the connections need to be refined to allow plurals of the words. I'm a bit salty about not getting the SpongeBob connection. Needed VCM to tell me to be more specific (I just said animals). (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sarah @ #56544: Amazing! We struggled with the British one but the other categories were great (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mr Gnomi @ #76363: This was really fun and tricky. Thanks (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76303: Odd mix of easy groups with just one very niche connection. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mr Gnomi @ #76358: Thanks Ace, nasty comments are never needed. Thanks for your support. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mr Gnomi @ #76362: Very accessible and clever (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mr Gnomi @ #76054: Bands not given over rock bands. Dogs was clever but seen before. Keep going with the gridding. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76358: It's fine. Yes, quite easy, but nothing with with that. Please don't stop. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sally @ #33156: didn't know that piece was supposed to be a battleship. Always thought it was a cruise ship... (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #76293: Come on, you know what pedants we all are. And you know that Pluto isn't a planet. It would be so easy to use Uranus or Saturn or Mercury. I think people just do it to wind up the players (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #76292: A lot of the connections are very specific, so my general connection guesses didn't work (Two words the same with a different vowel sound and video games). Generally good hadn't heard all the name songs, but many were too recent for me! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mr Gnomi @ #76250: Great one, thanks. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mr Gnomi @ #76358: Too easy Stewy? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #76269: Great idea. The down group needs some work in the definition. They are all directions for example go left, go right. You can't really say they are the answers for the other groups as the up/down group a6ll work with up but only 2 work with down. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Stewy @ #76358: Poor. Computer generated? Stop it. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Stewy @ #76312: Fit. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #76280: To be Scottish isn't Scotch. Scotch is the drink. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76283: Hmm - close but no cigar sums this up for me? Confetti a party decoration ? Not really Pasta dishes ? Again not really - two are types of pasta but not actually dishes, two are types sauce but not actually dishes - Spaghetti Carbonara is a dish. They hang together as groups but not as you define them… I’m not keen on Tomato in its group either - very loose and Bulgaroctonus is plain fiendish ( which is aloud :) ) Had the makings of a very nice grid - just misses out for me on the detail ! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76280: Almost very good But old car doesn’t fit - it’s a banger, sure but that doesn’t mean or imply membership of that group Just Car fits or as they are mostly clues - 4 wheels personal transport maybe ? Or even just automobile… (1 year, 6 months ago)

Shane @ #76247: Hectic Fever??? (1 year, 6 months ago)

A S @ #76269: I said "prepositions" for the last group. Should that count? (1 year, 6 months ago)

A S @ #76275: Lovely! Not many red herrings, but the groups were oblique enough to make it pretty challenging. (1 year, 6 months ago)

A S @ #76272: Pretty tricky! I loved this one, which surprised me. Only nits: didn't take "states named after people", which I only said because I didn't want to say royalty for Washington's sake. For NM, FL, etc. I said states with large Latin(o,a,x,e) population, not sure if that's too generic for you. And after those great, specific categories, "two word states" left me a little bereft. I was trying to guess a connection more in line with the other three. But great grid! One of the rare ones I like where all the answers are from a single category. (1 year, 6 months ago)

A S @ #76265: Did you submit this one twice? (1 year, 6 months ago)

A S @ #76260: Loved this one. The Loganberry group was tricky, but managed to catch on after I had two groups down. Nice! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Zoe @ #69976: Didn’t love having both over easy and over medium in the over category (1 year, 6 months ago)

A S @ #76250: Pretty good! Not too hard, a few red herrings, though. One thing for the Kid group, it didn't accept "children" or "child ages", and for the Keys group, didn't accept "every day carry". Probably worth adding "carry" and "pocket" to the acceptance criteria for the latter and "child" for the former? Nice one, though. (1 year, 6 months ago)

A S @ #76235: I would have appreciated a few more red herrings and a better constrained "one" group. (1 year, 6 months ago)

ahay @ #76203: Just FYI, Schrodinger wasn't a cat - he was the scientist who created the famous thought experiment about a cat. Otherwise, good grid! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Scarborough @ #76263: 😆😆😆 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Slicineyeballs @ #76214: I also put "commonwealth" (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76263: As far as I’m concerned the champions league semi finals has 88 legs in it ( not counting substitutes, refereees or streakers! 😂😂 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76261: The progress group also all contain words that can go with rock : PROGress Rock Rock n stROLL Rock selFISH Rock alleGIANT ( A rock giant is a type of planet amongst other things) That’s what I spotted and it worked except for the point(s) Other wise a nice easy fun grid :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76238: Great grid ! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Craig Johnson @ #76235: Wanted to point out that "where," "body," "thing," and "one" may also be prefixed by "any-". Dunno whether the routine will allow two correct prefixes. Otherwise, a clever one, not too hard. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76231: A cracker :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76246: I didn't like that 3 of the states were new and the other wasn't - seemed clumsy more than a red herring. Good apart from that. (1 year, 6 months ago)

benj @ #76260: Cities in Utah??!! Holy obscure knowledge, Batman. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Julie @ #76216: I got 3 by fluke. These answers don’t make sense at all. What has King got to do with underground stations? Needs editing. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #76146: I think it may be a good idea to add F1 or Motorsport to your name for a grid like this. I recognised a few F1 names, but if we lost on me (1 year, 6 months ago)

Hob @ #76216: Just too many errors in this one. The Harry Potter book is the Chamber of Secrets, not Secret. "Jubilee", "King" and "Baker" are not tube stations. (Jubilee is a line, Baker Street is a station, and I have no idea where King comes from at all) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Rootbeer Queer @ #76180: A good grid, one group needs a little adjustment to the accepted answers. I don't know how many grids you've done, so please take this as constructive :) The group featuring Franklin Roosevelt Jr. also needs to accept the word died. The term you used is not something people would immediately think of. Remember to give people a good range of accepted terms, to help them solve the grid! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Kristin @ #76211: Fun and interesting grid! Extra hard with an American accent, but that's not your fault. 😊 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #76173: Tough but very well constructed. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #76144: Enjoyable. My knowledge of Duran Duran let me down. To answer the question before - nobody does it better isn't a bond film. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #76195: Very clever, super stuff! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Jonathan @ #76212: Stumped me with the Mister Men! Very good (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #76142: I must be the target market for this one. It looked really tricky, but only I spotted South Park and the Pythons it was plain sailing. Really good grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #76200: Very easy, but great fun (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76211: Lovely grid :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Edel farrell @ #76212: Tough (1 year, 6 months ago)

Rob @ #76208: Nice grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76207: Opera group probably needs one word swapping that can be Tor not Tion so the red herring still works (Doc) Otherwise a nice grid :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76202: I don’t think homonyms is strictly correct - that means two words that sound the same but are spelled differently with different meanings - letters of the alphabet are not strictly words in that sense just single letters ( and yes they do have spellings too but in this context that seems a stretch) They are more accurately Homophones ( which was accepted) It might accept vegetable but not veg. ( which I’m happy to take on the chin as I was just being lazy!) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Simon @ #76208: Thanks. Fun grid. First time I've been on this site in years (1 year, 6 months ago)

fouracross @ #76202: idk how to reply to people but the word vegetable is an acceptable answer, you clearly just spelt it wrong CJ. (also homonyms now an acceptable answer) (1 year, 6 months ago)

J @ #76207: I second Enzed's suggestion. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Enzed @ #76207: Tion is also a solution to the opera group, and probably gives more common words (1 year, 6 months ago)

David Rees @ #76195: Absolutely brilliant. Inspired! (1 year, 6 months ago)

mal @ #76195: Easy, fun, love this (1 year, 6 months ago)

dan @ #76195: Familiar? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76191: Pronunciation's often an issue, but I think all of these are close enough to work well. Not that I got them, but that's just down to my ignorance. White was fine, but I felt that number one was a little bit weak, no way I'd have put it in that group. (1 year, 6 months ago)

CJ @ #76202: So you’ve not allowed the word “vegetable” to be an acceptable answer? Great work. 1/5 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76198: Nice. Some interesting novel connections (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76195: Good fun :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76190: One song I’d never heard of - three I got almost instantly (although had to think what the BAD one was called) Have to settle for 7 :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76187: Phew - just waded through several grids I got nowhere with Thought I was losing the knack This one was much nicer - got my confetti and enjoyed the connections :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Stewy @ #76202: Cheers (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76170: Possibly a bit to niche for Harry Potter fans too (1 year, 6 months ago)

S @ #76202: Should accept homonyms for the alphabet answer. (1 year, 6 months ago)

njc @ #76198: You are *so right* about NYT's OC plagiarism. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76164: Not bad I do feel compelled to correct your definition of men’s shed - it looks like a partial cut and paste They are not communities - they are community spaces …. Aimed at reducing loneliness and isolation by building social networks and through them improving mental health and even saving lives . (1 year, 6 months ago)

njc @ #76182: Nice wall! The cow (bovine) one would probably be better with the word cow in the answer list (1 year, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #76195: Straightforward and fun to do Spotted the plot early on 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 6 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76197: lovely grid. Just the right level of challenge for me. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mamasan @ #76195: Great grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #76200: Good grid, fairly straightforward. I missed out on the cabin row, an "Of course" moment for me. Well done, you win 10-7 Thanks for posting (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mack @ #76202: Great classic grid. Thanks! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Wordybird @ #76167: Nice! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Parigi @ #76191: @Kent Thanks for the feedback! Also for sure {Gödel, Girdle} and {Canter, Cantor} are not pronounced the same, by many people. But near enough to be somewhat identifiable, I hope! For the Christmas group, maybe I should swap out "White" for something else. There was a vague "red herring" reason for leaving it in, aimed at the people I wrote the puzzle for, but I take your point! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #76133: Nice one. The Shakespeare connection was really good. Enjoyed that! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #76130: I think the song was a little niche. I did recognise that 3 of them were Michael/Mike so just thought there may be a very odd Mr Game 6, first name Michael. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #76195: Extremely simple but fun. (1 year, 6 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76202: Nice and straightforward but a classic well put together grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76203: I got zero - but still able to appreciate a beautifully crafted grid. Thank you (1 year, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #76202: Nice (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fred @ #76173: Dulwich Hamlet football team!! - cmon. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76193: Clever. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Kent @ #76191: Touring and Turing aren’t really pronounced the same, at least not like Rustle and Russell. I also think as a rule of thumb a group of clues should be either preceded or followed by a certain word, not a mixture of both - it makes connecting them unnecessarily hard. (1 year, 6 months ago)

JM @ #76190: Loving the 80s vibe (1 year, 6 months ago)

Niamh @ #76176: 10/10 for entertainment (1 year, 6 months ago)

salmacis @ #76174: Really didn't like this, sorry. - had no clue for either the groups or the connections. Some pretty specialized knowledge needed. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mart @ #76175: Loved this although I failed to spot one group which is to my eternal shame. Purple and yellow and red, how did I not spot that? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ro @ #76169: Nice grid with no niche groups & enough red herrings. Thanks (1 year, 6 months ago)

Alison @ #76174: Lemony 😉 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Alison @ #76164: Enjoyed that. Thank you 🙂 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Penguin @ #76168: @Bina Thank you for pointing out the spelling error. Not sure how that happened as I know it’s a gadwall. Now corrected. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Kumquat @ #76173: Really nice! (1 year, 6 months ago)

salmacis @ #75992: Shame about the Anglia/Grenada thing, otherwise would have been a good grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #76171: Thank you - got me stumped on two - I couldn't get 'blue' out of my mind! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75997: Some nice groups, with no tenuous members. No rh that I could see, but very satisfying. Lovely. Ty. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75992: Almost a well thought out grid. Unfortunately, Anglia and Granada can be swapped, so there isn't a unique solution. (1 year, 6 months ago)

salmacis @ #76168: Nice grid! Didn't know most of the ducks, but didn't need to.. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Paul Redmond @ #76164: Liked it, but couldn't get the description for the "House" group :-) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bruce @ #76108: Excellent. Really enjoyed that. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mister+Tom @ #76164: Some of those felt a bit forced (1 year, 6 months ago)

Davey @ #76142: Yep... Not a South Park fan so only 7 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bina @ #76168: Gadwall rather than Gadwell? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Edel farrell @ #76161: Tough (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76161: Why do these grids never accept “characters from a programme I don’t watch and have never heard of or a game I don’t play and have never heard of” I mean it’s 100% accurate !! And correct 😂 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76160: Longest river in the world ? They are Nile, Amazon, Yangtze and Mississippi It allowed River so I got the point - just puzzled by your explanation. The Parana is only the second longest in South America - presumably included to make us think it was a misspelled Piranha? ( didn’t fall for that because of other obvious rivers They aren’t all titles of married women either …. So confused by your explanations Nothing wrong with the grid - just the explanations (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #76156: Tough, but very well constructed. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fungrids @ #76093: A fun grid! I can’t see “line of cocaine” making it onto Only Connect though (1 year, 6 months ago)

Tim Symes @ #76152: also the Crier you've asked for has an 'I' not a Y (1 year, 6 months ago)

Adrian Gray @ #76133: I didn't get the Shakespeare connection. The others quite easy. Good grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Tim Symes @ #76152: cities should be added to possible answers (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76153: Milk Shed is fine it’s used fairly commonly found A fairly decent traditional grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #76153: What's a milk shed? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #76152: Good ideas, a nice simple grid and a very quick solve , but the 'football teams ending in city' link, could also just have been 'cities', 'cathedrals' or 'cathedral cities', none of which scored the point. (1 year, 6 months ago)

KB @ #76133: Fun for a lunchtime distraction - good stuff! (1 year, 6 months ago)

A S @ #76122: I love the dog group, even though I didn't get it. However people need to either stop using racecar as a palindrome or start using it as something other than a palindrome, because every time I see it it's a free group. (1 year, 6 months ago)

A S @ #76127: Even once you catch the naming scheme, there are so many ways to slice groups of presidents, I'd be very surprised if this solution is unique. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Hummus @ #76133: LOVED this, Ashamed that I missed the Shakespeare! great idea for homophones (1 year, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #76153: It is called a milking shed, not a milk shed. (1 year, 6 months ago)

salmacis @ #75821: No, the country is the 'United States of America'. America is fine as an answer for Continents, although we usually divide it into North and South. Australia is a bit iffy though. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76146: I’m a total F1 nut I couldn’t do this grid - I got one connection (AM) - realised a second one just too late. (Single winners) I should have got the dual discipline one - my bad for missing that Debut in 2015 ? Not obscure or anything 🙃- even though I could name the teams they debuted with (including Manor and Sauber and of course Torro Rossi x 2). This is niche within niche nestling in a bed of niche covered in niche sauce with a side order of niche ! The fact it is my niche and I still struggled says a lot … (1 year, 6 months ago)

Earl Grey @ #76136: Thank you Kent, this Melon is for you. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76144: Nice n easy They are also film titles as well as themes - I wrote both to be sure of confetti so don’t know if you allow the film names … Good fun grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

AAA @ #73152: For a second, you got me trying to convince myself "tone-pad" was a thing. Great! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76140: Bingham isn’t named after the singer - the singers were Daniel McMaster and Marti Frederikson …. But didn’t stop me getting it and getting the right score . Acceptable answers to the Homer group needs a bit more work But overall not three bad ! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #76139: Very good grid, amazed myself by getting the lot ! No red herrings though :-( Still good 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76132: Close does not fit that group - it means a residential street that does not have through access for vehicles The others are all types of alleyway etc. Otherwise quite a good grid - and I did relent and include close to score 10…. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Kent @ #76136: Nice grid, but I'm not sure honeydew fits with the other fruit. I'd say "melon" is the fruit and honeydew is a variety of it, rather like putting "Granny Smith" instead of "apple". Maybe it's a regional dialect thing. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Lucky Starr @ #76130: Still no idea what the Tyson etc grid is about …. But scored 7/10 and quite enjoyed it :); (1 year, 6 months ago)

Earl Gray @ #76136: Thank you Ace, this is a good note. Banana and Kiwi do not actually grow on 'trees', which was supposed to be the tricky part. Papaya do though, so I updated it. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76136: Got the fruit by chance, given that banana, kiwi and papaya all grow on trees, any of them could swap with pear, peach and plum. I thought it was tropical fruits, which almost works. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Rootbeer Queer @ #63159: Didn't get the body set, I immediately focussed on Peart, and thought the connection was Rush (as in Neil Peart) but hey-ho, we live another day. 7/10 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #76126: I echo the other comments, but a good grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Rootbeer Queer @ #76126: A very poor grid indeed. I would wish you to improve, and make the grid better for the players. Two of your groups are very specific in the response - you should start with the simplest word that connects everything. The 4 world cup scorers are all footballers, first and foremost. The solar system objects are all visible in the night sky. Simplicity for the keywords, is the key :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Rootbeer Queer @ #76121: An excellent work. Good clues, good layout and some traps make this one a brain teaser. 10 points for me, and five stars for you! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #76094: Brilliant. I saw 90s bands and knew it wouldn't be that as the connect. Once I got the synonyms. Probably the first of yours I've completed first time! (1 year, 6 months ago)

A S @ #43309: I love that every group had red herrings! All in all not too hard, though. (1 year, 6 months ago)

A S @ #16104: All those currencies also come in bills. Electric and phone bills are both things. All in all, not enough effort put into unique solutions. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #76098: I scored it backward. Strong theme made it easy to do. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #76102: I knew what three of the groups were, but I could not figure out that fourth. Nice puzzle (1 year, 6 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #76124: I enjoyed it. I forget how it rated itself for difficulty. That's always a problem for me in the rating system. The couple of these I've done I thought were moderate. But if they were successfully moderate, should I assign them five stars because they are wonderful moderate puzzles? (1 year, 6 months ago)

A S @ #76029: It's not random words and you know it. It's how many letters to remove to get a curse word. But the groupings (especially with the numbers) are so obvious it's painful. Like, you were trying to do an inappropriate connections round but force it into a wall shape. But even then, the connections are way too easy. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76126: They are not all in the Solar system (it took my correct answer though) The chocolate bar is Yorkie not York (there are some good bars in York but not chocolate ones) Correct those and it might get better scores (the browse grids didn’t show this because it defaults to more than two stars ). I may have dragged you back to visibility Even though the football one is way to niche in its full answer for me…. Still not actually a bad grid once you correct the mistakes !

Freddgar @ #76123: Very good. Easy, but I can see a red herring line that I nearly fell for. Well done. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76122: 10/10, but I guessed wrong for the music group connection, put in 'coffee drink cup' but got the points anyway! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #76122: Very very nice! I talked myself out of one right category. Really enjoyed it (1 year, 6 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #76108: High quality grid. Thanks! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fred @ #76118: ok (1 year, 6 months ago)

Deborah Olaoke @ #70567: (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #76118: Excellent, well thought out. Was kicking myself for not getting the comedy acts, but that's half the fun. (1 year, 6 months ago)

cazza @ #76108: Very good fun (1 year, 6 months ago)

Pedant @ #76086: Don't accept metals, Toto. Stick to your guns. Metallic elements or nothing. (1 year, 6 months ago)

b @ #76087: 10/10 for me, and for you - thanks (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76118: Nice one. Yeah, you need to use singular forms in the answers, which will in any case accept the plural 's' as well. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bingo @ #76118: Tried rodent as answer for the hidden word but it didn’t recognise it (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mister+Tom @ #75080: @Pzzz - the other way around. I put the other countries' flags in the explanation! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mister+Tom @ #76108: Hehe, this takes me back. I did a v similar grid several years ago :-) yours is good too (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mister+Tom @ #76119: Unfortunately, whatever your views as to whether Daniel Jones _should_ be an NFL QB, he _is_ one - so can be swapped with (Janet) Jackson. Therefore your solution is not unique I'm afraid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Myname @ #76108: Vix, Togo. Last letter removed. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mv @ #76108: Nice! (and easy) (1 year, 6 months ago)

gergo @ #76108: (1 year, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #76108: Very good grid! Thanks for making :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Trillium @ #76107: Really well done. Thank you! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Davey @ #76056: Not sure how I got 10 but I did lol.... Thanks (1 year, 6 months ago)

Alex @ #76107: Great but tricky! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ro @ #76086: Fun grid, ty (1 year, 6 months ago)

Talia @ #76115: There seems to be an issue with some of the answers at the end for the categories no matter how much i try alter them. Sorry for any inconvenience! Hope you enjoy the grid regardless! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76108: @Vicky: Togo. It just says missing a letter, not that it's the letter A. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76114: Utter garbage. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Vicky @ #76108: Is Toga a country? 🤔 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Liz @ #76004: People who worked as teachers is an insane group, but alright, sure lol. As a Dutch person, I can't believe I didn't recognize the name Ruysch right away, I've seen her paintings! Nobody ever talks about her as a "master" here though, wonder why. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76099: Pinky and Perky were pigs, and also my first thought for that group. Works better as X and Y anyway. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Liz @ #76069: Never heard of a Sloughi, but eventhough Ive never watched Eastenders and I didnt guess the group, somehow I guessed when I saw them together. Another great, challenging grid by LittleQuill (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76104: Spelling... (1 year, 6 months ago)

player one @ #76112: not sure what happened on this grid. think you need to check the conections again to mke it more enjoable for future players.... (1 year, 6 months ago)

JM @ #76112: A similar theme which made this one easier than yesterday's - really like it though! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #76093: This was a really enjoyable and fun medium/good grid @Aetees! If I were you, I'd keep making more of these as they were really good fun and I encourage you to submit many more! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #76061: Very easy, but entertaining. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #76066: Easy but great fun. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #76108: Well constructed. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Paul @ #76093: This was far, far too easy to be classed as a medium/good grid @Aetees. If I were you, I wouldn't bother wasting any more of your clearly few brain cells on trying to submit any more. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Paul @ #56933: Fantastic grid Zirguit - unlike most of the grids posted by Aetees (1 year, 6 months ago)

B @ #76093: Excellent grid! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Frankie @ #76107: I only got the team group but thought this was an excellent grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fred @ #76096: ? (1 year, 6 months ago)

JM @ #76093: Brilliant (1 year, 6 months ago)

Anon Disliker @ #76013: Anon is a FOOL!!! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Paul Redmond @ #76033: Nice grid Talia :-) (1 year, 6 months ago)

David Rees @ #76093: It may be the 6.2% IPA I just finished on, but this might just be my favourite grid of all time! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Enzed @ #76096: Nice to see the topical Blue Moon in there! Make mine a treble :-) (1 year, 6 months ago)

? @ #76099: Wasn't he a mouse? (1 year, 6 months ago)

M.mouse @ #16212: Writing implements not accepted either (1 year, 6 months ago)

Hi @ #75802: Excellent (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76099: Saw what was happening pretty quick (red herring group - one in each other group - PacMan..) Struggled with a couple of frankly niche connections But the only thing that I really didn’t like was your Pinky partner ——- It’s Pinky and Perky !! Bizarrely it was Pinky of Pinky and Perky that led me to that group!, (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76104: Synonym…. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76094: It didn’t allow my answer for the Tricky group “Descriptions of a Lyrical-Lee grid” I could see the intended answer but couldn’t resist seeing if you’d spotted that potential connection too! (1 year, 6 months ago)

benj @ #76093: Iron Butterfly did that Ganna da vida (sic) song in the 60s, parodied in the Simpsons and sampled elsewhere. Great grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76093: I’d not come across Iron Butterflies - but assumed (to keep the animal connection up) that it was Iron Butterly The band who created Inna Gadda Da Vida - which Bart Simpson tricked the Springfield church organist to play by calling In The Garden Of Eden by I. Ron Butterfly ! A cracking track to boot! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Pauline @ #76093: I too presume Iron Maiden. Good grid thanks (1 year, 6 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76094: I didn't get it at all - but now I see what you were trying - i rather like it. And I'll be prepared if you do another one of this style. Good to try fresh ideas. Thank you (1 year, 6 months ago)

Donna @ #65421: I wrote 'professions' instead of jobs sadly! I class myself as getting confetti regardless! (1 year, 6 months ago)

David @ #76054: Rock bands, not musical groups named after places? (1 year, 6 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76098: Something fishy about this one (1 year, 6 months ago)

cazza @ #76087: Enjoyed this (1 year, 6 months ago)

Kumquat @ #76099: Really nice semi-herring! Lovely grid to solve (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fred @ #76089: square numbers was a bit naff! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sophox @ #76095: Brutal red herrings! Love it. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sophox @ #76093: Beautiful (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #76078: Oh yes, see it now, Ace. Thanks. Sackcloth and ashes. (1 year, 6 months ago)

JM @ #76094: Once i got it, I loved it. Very good grid! (1 year, 6 months ago)

JM @ #76089: Daunting at first but I got 6/10. Good one. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #76087: Nicely done :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76092: I used lower case, as did all the clues. Maybe I mistyped it. The point about the bread is that if they're not in normal use it doesn't seem right to include them in a British English grid, which is why I phrased it as a question, given that I've not lived there for many years. (1 year, 6 months ago)

TomB @ #76093: Nice one. Never heard of Iron Butterflies, but I'd missed the animals connection and presumed Iron Maiden! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #76092: Never really understand 'I've never heard of that' as a criticism. Obscure clues might make it harder, but they don't invalidate the board. On the other hand, yes, the key words for the answers need to be widened. I'm not sure how you have it rejecting 'Jane'. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mister+Tom @ #76090: 10/10 and a well deserved 5* from a fellow Tom B :-) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76078: @weegieman, B Side of a record. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76092: Never heard of any of the breads - presumably they're foreign, so not really fair, or are these really all in everyday use in the UK now? Oh, and answers of jane, anagram and palindrome were all rejected. (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #76078: Bit of a mixup in the "side" explanation. Should be "followed" not "preceded" (and certainly not "proceded"). And B followed by side is Bside not beside. So, spoilt by sloppiness. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Skerm @ #76087: The purist in me loves a grid like that. 7/10 scorewise, but 5 stars for the grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

JM @ #76091: I liked The Kinks/Kirsty Mac overlap. I didn't get Placebo or Seu Jorge despite knowing both those albums: D'oh! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76090: Nice one. So many red herrings/combinations it took me nearly the whole 3 minutes; only once I got the levellers group did it start to drop into place. (1 year, 6 months ago)

a @ #75926: clever red herrings here. nice job. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #76087: Good stuff! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Paul Redmond @ #76070: Great grid this:-) Couldn't think what to put for the airship group, but I'll give myself 10 anyway - I'm sure Victoria would give it me eventually :-):-) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Paul Redmond @ #76086: Loved this grid!! Really got me thinking, with about the right amount of crossovers:-) (1 year, 6 months ago)

adw @ #76087: Very good (1 year, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #76070: Enjoyed this one, thanks for making it! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76078: Difficult with so many letters, but nothing actually 'poor' about it. Answer explanations could be a bit better, perhaps. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76074: Nice apart from Sutton United - cos that’s really general knowledge isn’t it?🙃 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76087: Proper grid :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76086: Echoing what others say This good grid is let down by what it accepts - rejects metals (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76084: Niece easy grid :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #76088: Needs an edit me thinks "broad X2" (1 year, 6 months ago)

Adrian Gray @ #76070: Not sure about this one. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Vapid @ #76084: Nice TY (1 year, 6 months ago)

M.mouse @ #76086: Metals not acceptable? Really! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Stewy @ #76068: Good grid. Minogue’s a stretch for me tho. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #76086: Confetti with just 4s left - perfectly balanced level of difficulty. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Andy @ #76087: Overlaps all over the show, but simple enough in the end. Really enjoyed it. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Stewy @ #76083: Thanks Jinty, good easy grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Frankie @ #76083: Good grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Stewy @ #76084: Cheers, I really wanted famous Nigel’s tho. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Stewy @ #76086: Your answer confirmation words need some more effort. I am sure metals or metal should be sufficient to acknowledge understanding. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Stewy @ #76086: Otherwise, thank you. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Stewy @ #76086: Your answer confirmation words need some more effort. I am sure metals or metal should be sufficient to acknowledge understanding. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Stewy @ #76087: Good, thanks (1 year, 6 months ago)

benj @ #76066: Why not appropriate ? It's a cultural point. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Avenger @ #57320: Great grid. Thank you. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dahlia @ #76086: Great grid! (1 year, 6 months ago)

George @ #76066: No pleasing people! Good one! 6 ford cars made it a bit tricky (1 year, 6 months ago)

Avenger @ #57437: Semi precious stones not accepted - they are not gems as you describe so your answer is incorrect. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #76070: Nice one too (1 year, 6 months ago)

Myname @ #76070: Great grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sean @ #76066: Is it wrong that the first group I spotted was the adult magazine one?! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sean @ #76070: Not bad, but it's spelled daiquiri (1 year, 6 months ago)

Stewy @ #76075: Never played street fighter. Good easy grid otherwise (1 year, 6 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76070: brilliant grid. I thought it was totally impenetrable to begin with - but just cracked it with 9 seconds to spare. Thank you. (1 year, 6 months ago)

fi @ #76066: Took ages to find the cars, eventually left with magazines which i really did not think was appropriate. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Observation @ #74771: The song, written by Hendrix, was released as Voodoo Chile in 1970. It was the base of Voodoo Child (slight return). Therefore either are correct. (1 year, 6 months ago)

fi @ #76070: I really liked this one, got the groups quite quickly, then had to really think what they were. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #76078: Very poor. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Cam Wilcox @ #75907: we wrote "celestial bodies" and didn't get it and that's all that stopped us getting perfect, sad (1 year, 6 months ago)

Cam Wilcox @ #75937: bad (1 year, 6 months ago)

Cam Wilcox @ #76060: nic eone! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #76061: Like George, add Flies otherwise great grid. Nice multiple overlaps. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #76060: @Shane - gardening leave is what someone goes on when they are suspended. So if under investigation or similar. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76075: Caught me out with the Pratchett one, which I really should have known. No chance with the video game one though, but I knew that only one was from LoTR, so was completely stumped for other possible connections (1 year, 6 months ago)

Quizzling @ #76061: Straightforward but well worked (1 year, 6 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #76064: Nice grid. The snow set got me. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #76074: Nice grid. Good red herrings. (1 year, 6 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76075: Oh yes - a lovely moment of reminiscing the 80's there :-) Loved it ! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #76070: Nice grid. Can you had red herrings in this kind of grid? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Quizzling @ #76074: Nice grid. The categories are pretty gettable, it's all the crossovers that put it in "hard" for me. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dahlia @ #76060: Nice grid! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dahlia @ #76070: Excellent grid, loved this! (1 year, 6 months ago)

JEREMY @ #74771: The Hendrix song is voodoo child, not chile (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76066: Nice and straightforward, decent crossovers, although the car one's been done soo many times. Point of order, or interest, the magazines all predate the '80s by at least two decades... (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76070: Nice one, Needed to think a bit. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76060: @Shane, Gardening leave is a common expression across Europe (and I thought the US as well?) for when someone is on their notice period ( they are going to leave their employment, but have to wait the month or three months as per contract before they start their new jobs) but is not required to actually do any work in that period. Not unusual when someone's being "let go" in less than friendly circumstances. A Pox Party is a misguided attempt by some parents to get their children infected with chicken pox early in life (cos they think it's less serious for children, or something) by bringing a group together when one of them has caught it. (1 year, 6 months ago)

JEREMY @ #74765: Nice grid, Gallipoli is incorrectly spelt. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Pauline @ #76025: Yes, I agree with Scouse Mouse (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #76061: Good tight grid with pleasantly accessible groupings. (1 year, 6 months ago)

David @ #76013: Don't be put off by the 'anons' of this world. Anyone who takes the time to compile and post a grid for the pleasure of others should be thanked. Those who have nothing nice, or constructive, to say should really just say nothing and 'move on' (I'm being polite!) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #75959: Difficult, but got there. Tenacious D obviously a bit of a push as your say, as their first album was released before the Pick of Destiny. But throughout their careers they have been in character. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Shane @ #76060: Whats gardening leave? And pox party? Are they local things? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Avenger @ #57451: Lovely grid. The group looking for band names to be added was great. However,....think you will find Andy Williams is better known for singing Moon River ( Breakfast at Tiffany's). So good idea, just need to get it right. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Jugger @ #76049: Could not agree more with the cheesy comment made by Fromage, (1 year, 6 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76055: Great grid - good mix. All solvable - not by me of course - but a better me could definitely have done it :-) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Stacks @ #76060: Really good grid. Plenty of crossovers and RHs without being too difficult. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #75975: There is a place called Hazlemere in the UK. Also Haslemere. But I'm not sure there is a place called Hazelmere. Obviously it therefore has to relate to Hazel nut. But just wanted to point this out. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #75971: The letters. Grrr could not decide which of the lands to leave (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #75962: I really enjoyed this one. And got 10! It's just the Son of a Dusty Springfield Preacher that confused me. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #76058: Yes. Loved the dwarves. (1 year, 6 months ago)

George @ #76048: Nice and easy. (1 year, 6 months ago)

George @ #76061: May, crane, Hover, Dragon are flies. Flying insects? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gordon Simpson @ #76054: I put Internal combustion cycle, Victoria would have given me the point (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #76047: Thanks for the comment Fairy. I wasn't aware of the negative associations of "committed" and I certainly do not regard suicide as in any way sinful. Just endlessly sad. Apologies to anyone whose sensitivities were ruffled. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Stewy @ #76061: Good grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Stewy @ #75575: Good, a bit difficult in the time and book titles I’ve not heard of. Good grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #76057: Nice eclectic knowledge requirements. And a Pulp reference automatically gets a bonus star. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #76055: It doesn't accept "Three consecutive letters". (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76060: @sdg83. yes, I agree, but then it loses its RH status for the birthday group, so I get why they did it that way. Nice grid, nothing too obscure. (1 year, 6 months ago)

antidisestablishmentarianism @ #76048: Cool (1 year, 6 months ago)

Methionylthreonylthreo @ #76041: Good overall but a few flaws (1 year, 6 months ago)

RBR45 @ #76061: Good grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ellie @ #74847: Excellent grid. Loved the concept. Got all 4 groups and could see 3 connections fairly easily. Slightly annoyed I didn't see the fourth. Really clever. Perfect level of challenging (1 year, 6 months ago)

SuperT @ #76049: I put "bag" for goodness sake (1 year, 6 months ago)

sdg83 @ #76060: Good grid, thanks. Minor comment - gardening leave is probably the more common phrase. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #76058: The synonyms. Brilliant. Completely stumped me (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #76054: My brain did not think of a stroke engine. 😳 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #76049: Identical to the last 1. Down to Surna and Bag not working. Is there something that connects the authors? I'm not familiar with Reve. Otherwise like the fact that 3 of the connections are also on the grid. Satisfying (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #76048: A couple of things need a little edit. Bag not working as a connection You've only got author's surna so need to finish the word. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #76047: Can I make a recommendation? Could you can't the wording to "died by suicide" instead of "committed suicide". Many charities that support those effected by suicide advise against the word "committed" as it implies that it is a crime or a sin. It's a sensitive topic, so worth getting it right Otherwise great grid that took me a little Google help to even get close! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76035: Too hard for me. Knew most of the song facts, but couldn't fathom the links at all. BTW the Prince song is properly titled "Nothing Compares 2 U". Just being pedantic to make up for a 0/10 score. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Alison @ #76048: Bag definitely not working for me (nor types of bag). Presumably a glitch. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76054: Good easy grid - nice way to start the day Asia are most definitely not American though - they are English …. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #76025: Good stuff. Loved the typo in the players full name. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #76033: Well thought out and constructed. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #76040: Super. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #76048: Easy, but fun. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #75985: You've defined what the initials stand for, but not the connection. Who are Mr Black, Tench and Chapman? Are the teams and leagues mentioned all in the same sport? If guess maybe cricket? Have to say I'm just as confused by the answers as I was before them. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #76017: I do not think I am the target audience for this. Failed to get the dragon armour because I'm not aware of dragons having or even needing armour. (1 year, 6 months ago)

7310699 @ #60060: As a Canadain, I still only had 10 seconds left at the end because of how many could be universities or rivers. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #76053: Tough grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #76056: I like the Lotus set. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #76054: Gridding, not grinding! (1 year, 6 months ago)

nitpicker @ #76028: Long time no see! Welcome back! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #76056: Novel and great fun. (1 year, 6 months ago)

New @ #76056: Nice, TY. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid @ #39275: The required answer for the musicians line is ridiculously specific, imo. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #76055: Too clever for me (1 year, 6 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #76037: Nice grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #76037: Honestly I did very badly but I really liked the outcome Nice grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #76029: I aced this and cannot figure out how (1 year, 6 months ago)

SarahJane @ #76035: This was a tough one. it. Got the prince connection and was scrabbling around for the ska link but it evaded me. Totally missed the punk covers though and I’m kicking myself! Loved it. Keep them coming (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76047: Mike Yarwood was such a rotten impressionist he always had to say “and this is me” before singing a song - otherwise we’d just have assumed it was another unrecognisable impression Rory Bremner is better - the other two are pretty good even if I can never tell who painted which version of Dejeuner sur l’erb.! I’ll certainly forgive that group as it’s the only one I got …. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gridders @ #76013: A splendid grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

anon @ #76041: too easy. Make a better grid next time. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76044: No me gusto nada (1 year, 6 months ago)

anon @ #76049: awful grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76041: Easier than it first looked No real overlaps - so the groups fell fairly easily Quite good to do :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

David @ #75862: Reformation was a religious movement, so should accept religious figures as an answer (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76040: I was hoping to forget Judy Dench’s utter stinker of a performance in Cats —- Cheers for the reminder 😂😂 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76037: Oddly having just done a lyrical Lee grid music must have been on my mind as nights in white satin came to mind when I read Miller and led me straight to that group… Only just twigged the Bach group at the last second Nice grid! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76035: Knew all the songs Knew most of the artists both original and covers Still couldn’t see quite what you were looking for Quite a fiendish grid ! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76034: 👍 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76033: Really good - nice overlaps and four totally different groups The witches caught me - I didn’t know there were witches in Wanda Vision I don’t really associate Magicians with the circus so I just put Types of Performer - it’s good with a group like that to allow alternate valid answers if you spot them (people get grumpy when their answers are not allowed!!) Don’t do yourself down - this is a much better grid than many that get posted on here (1 year, 6 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76037: Brilliant grid - just solved it at the end (1 year, 6 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76041: I rather liked this one - rather eccentric and original without being obscure (1 year, 6 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76042: wow - didn't see that at all ! Very clever. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #76048: Nice and easy grid Bag works on this one 😁 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 6 months ago)

MLS @ #66790: got the 10 without quite understanding two, slapped my head upon seeing the answer. Brilliant, love this style puzzle (1 year, 6 months ago)

Donna @ #65801: Great grid, thanks! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #76041: As per Richard. I tried it twice, in case I'd misspelled it. Good grid otherwise. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Joedamort @ #76017: I think this is a STUPENDOUS puzzgrid! This baffled me for many moons! This puzzle has rendered my many machinations in attempt to solve this fruitless! Truly, a puzzle only for the wisest. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Paul @ #76040: very nice! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Richard @ #76041: The chair category doesnt accept "chair" as an answer (1 year, 6 months ago)

TDA @ #76009: RUBBISH (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #76037: Excellent. Good variety in the groups. (1 year, 6 months ago)

jm @ #76035: Well i liked it... I thought Toferino had a point but I googled it and he did record it in 1985 as part of an album/project entitled 'The Family'... Fairly sure the others were all well documented as his performances before the 'covers'. (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #76040: Good one, and good fun (1 year, 6 months ago)

Rootbeer Queer @ #76013: Not a bad grid for someone who is still learning how to make the puzzles. I got 3 out of 4 groups, but I got caught by the volcanoes... I did not realise, that Mount Fuji was a volcano! But 7 out of 10 points, is not a bad score :) Keep making these! (1 year, 6 months ago)

DH @ #76037: nice one (1 year, 6 months ago)

DH @ #76040: Solid head scratcher cheers (1 year, 6 months ago)

Toferino @ #76035: I wouldn't say that the Prince songs were covers as such. He certainly wrote all those songs, but he wrote them for those artists. He released his own version of Nothing Compares 2 U long after Sinead O'Connor. Can you 'cover' your own songs? (1 year, 6 months ago)

sdg83 @ #76037: Good grid, thanks! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Rossmondo @ #76013: Ignore any whingeing, it was a good grid! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bruce @ #76025: Two tennis ones, and neither accepted tennis! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #76035: Very very challenging. I was hunting for other Toots & The Maytals songs. Then thinking Jamaican artists. Didn't do enough two tone thinking. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #76033: I think I would probably swap acrobatic for just acrobat and make it clown. That way it's people you would see at the circus or acts at the circus. Acrobatic is the act, the others are the person performing. That would make it more cohesive. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #75997: I really enjoyed. Didn't get the microwave link until looking for the link though. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Idk @ #76036: Not very easy (1 year, 6 months ago)

a @ #76029: i really try to not post mean comments on the internet, but "random words" is such a terribly stupid group that i'm going to castigate you for it. if you can't be assed to think of a fourth group, maybe just wait until you're inspired before posting a grid? there's not a deadline to meet or a quota to fill. you can do better, i'm sure of it. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dahlia @ #76033: Fun grid! :-) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Talia @ #76013: @anon I'm 14. It's not going to be perfect. Don't leave negative feedback unless you're actually going to give advice on why or how i can improve. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Talia @ #76033: Just letting you all know, don't have high expectations for my grids! I'm 14 and still learning Puzzgrid, don't leave comments like 'Garbage' unless you're actually going to give me constructive criticism.. (1 year, 6 months ago)

gergo @ #76020: (1 year, 6 months ago)

Rootbeer Queer @ #74572: One group not great, the "Feast" group was a bust, because the answer you needed to supply was a word already in the group. I don't think you're supposed, to tell the answer when you write the quiz! Also, I got away with "Words that don't mean anything" in response to the Melte group :) A poor grid, must to do better for people. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid @ #39529: Fiendish??? I know little of Dr Who actors but knew 2 of them had played the Doctor. Rest were straightforward I thought.. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76013: Don’t let the moaners put you off Nothing wrong with this grid - it’s a nice easy straightforward grid As someone else said - why not try introducing overlaps where cells can fit in more than one grid For instance Deacon could be a rank of the clergy, Taylor could be the first name of a singer, May could be a month and Mercury could be a planet. By introducing groups like those you get a grid which is just as much fun but more of a challenge You could even do one where the members of Queen are all in different groups but are not one themselves ! But those are just ideas - use your own - a fun part of solving grids is trying to work out how the sitter was thinking ! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76020: As with many USA grids - this Brit failed on the sports teams … Otherwise good grid :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

David Rees @ #76020: What a fantastic grid! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bob+ @ #76013: lovely (1 year, 6 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #76025: Sorry but I agree with Scouse mouse (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76021: Awww no Wreckless Eric! You can’t do Stiff without Wreckless Eric ! (Ok you can and did :) ) For me this was a super but rather easy grid - much easier than usual .:) (1 year, 6 months ago)

fi @ #76025: I hate tennis!! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #76006: Shepard was an astronaut (the first American in space) - and although they did send animals into space I don’t think that quite qualifies him for the group ! 😉😉😂😂 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #76021: Very challenging. I recognised the two tone bands instantly because it's such an iconic label. Not so good with my record label knowledge for the others. If have done better if one was epitaph (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #76013: I think this is an improvement. You had a bit of celestial bodies overlap. Keep thinking this way. 😊 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #76010: Very similar to the last 1. Would be more fun with some overlaps. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Rob @ #76013: Nice grid, fairly straightforward but fun (1 year, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #76013: Nice and easy grid, nothing wrong with it at all 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 6 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76025: two simple and general rows - then two very specific knowledge based ones only for specialists - doesn't really work for me I'm afraid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #76016: Far too niche for me so I scored a big fat nothing. Have to say I didn't find the explanations particularly helpful either. (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #76021: Too niche for me, if you don't know the answers, you can't work them out. (1 year, 6 months ago)

JM @ #76021: I got the ska group without the right answer. Tough - but then I had another go at it and got them all. Clever. (1 year, 6 months ago)

M @ #76007: Great work for a teenager. Start by trying to work in one crossover (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #76000: Not bad, but I'm beginning to think the Cluedo characters have been done to death. Still enjoyable though. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76016: Terrible. So niche they haven't even bothered to specify what game (I presume) these are from. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ro @ #75997: Nice grid with no niche groups (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76013: @anon, nothing wrong with. Yes, the band has been done to death and all the rest are equally easy, but it all works, including the insistence that krakatoa isn't/wasn't a mountain. (1 year, 6 months ago)

anon @ #76013: Total garbage. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76011: Shame this is 75% the same as another one from earlier today. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76007: The thing it that odd, unusual or alternative spellings are sometimes used deliberately. Your Shepard, for instance, is the name of an astronaut, amongst other things, so immediately gets people wondering if that's what you mean. Worth taking a little more care, perhaps, please.

Ace @ #76006: And Michael. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #76007: Nice enough, but very easy, no crossovers, no red herrings. Oh, and it's spelled 'shepherd', BTW. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bruce @ #76006: Excellent starter grid to introduce the idea. Please could we correct the spellings of lieutenant and shepherd. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid @ #39662: Nice one. (1 year, 6 months ago)

tally @ #75990: So i've only just realised my problem here, whilst attempting to do the British Values i've mixed it with my private grid made for my college. The values are for my school's traits and i've mixed the two up in a rush! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Finn @ #75994: Super (1 year, 6 months ago)

Juan Foyth @ #75997: Enough with the birds (1 year, 6 months ago)

Alex Knight @ #75988: I would say that blossom is a generic for type of tree, also the Surnames of singers categories didn't accept pop stars. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dahlia @ #75997: Nice! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dahlia @ #75998: Loved this! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #75998: Nice straightforward grid 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 6 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #75972: Really enjoyed this. Has that wonderful feeling of being completely opaque until it's perfectly clear (1 year, 6 months ago)

fi @ #75994: I put in the plural form, maybe that made a difference? I did not get all the groups but i suddenly realised the theme. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Cazza @ #75991: I found it hard (1 year, 6 months ago)

El Guapo @ #75995: Excellent crossover between categories. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Donna @ #66473: Wouldn't accept 'brand names', I know they are brand names that have become the generic terms for the items they represent, but I couldn't think of a way to say that in a general way... (1 year, 6 months ago)

IanB @ #75998: Nice (1 year, 6 months ago)

Donna @ #66533: I said 'filmed in Cardiff' but I guess I don't know if that was true vs Wales, assumed because of Only Connect - good grid! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #75972: Very fun, lots of red herrings. Thanks for making it! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #75988: Like your next one, too easy to guess without knowing why, and I don't know where you're getting these British Values from, sounds like some bullsh1t right-wing rhetoric to me. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #75990: @Natalia, maybe, but I guessed the group because they were all obviously people's names. Also guessed the prepared group although I've never heard of "British Values" (and yes, I am). (1 year, 6 months ago)

Donna @ #66578: Didn't accept 'docking areas' otherwise 100%! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75972: Good grid shame a day and week grid the same not this gridder's fault, just saying (1 year, 6 months ago)

jm @ #75978: Too many interchangeables for my liking - more than one solution which made it really difficult. (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #75977: For me more general knowledge (or actually specific film knowledge) than working out connections, so not so much fun as for film buffs. (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #75978: Nice idea, but I thought scratch that and scratch record were a bit weak. Otherwise good fun. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Lyrical-Lee @ #75962: Thanks all. I post them from my laptop where the text length isn't such an issue... I'll consider this in future grids. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Milton1989 @ #75980: Pretty sweet. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Rupert @ #75980: One category is a little tough, but overall one of the best grids I’ve seen in weeks! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Stew @ #75590: What a grid! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dee @ #75980: Other categories are good but the "Tuesday" group category is way too abstract (1 year, 6 months ago)

M.mouse @ #75944: Female vocalists not accepted! (1 year, 6 months ago)

film buff @ #75977: That was fun! TY (1 year, 6 months ago)

LadyMonde @ #75944: @Personwithname Added as a possible answer! And thank you :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bilbo @ #75974: Nah! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Davey @ #75977: 7/10 still good.... Marlon the greatest (1 year, 6 months ago)

Davey @ #75972: 10/10 pleased with that (1 year, 6 months ago)

Frankie @ #75972: Good grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75977: Failed to sort out the MBs from the FZs although I’d guessed what I was looking for Thank you for accepting my dreadful spelling of FZ’ surname !! (I only knew two were his but that was enough ! ) Ditto for MB although I could spell that ! I guess the only trouble with grids like this is you either know or you don’t ! This time I knew enough and thoroughly enjoyed it I’d maybe have left the !s out as seeing made that obvious - but you weren’t that mean ! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #75854: Had another go, and got it this time, go figure🙂 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Movie Buff @ #75977: Not too hard for a fan of the silver screen but there is a fiendish sting, sorry (1 year, 6 months ago)

Personwithname @ #75944: Would be good if the speak group accepted talking as an answer. Another excellent grid! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75974: Well done on correctly spelling Juliett the NATO alphabet way - so many grid setters get that wrong :) Good grid with good overlapping groups (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75973: Very straightforward - fun to do :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75971: Not bad Frustratingly doesn’t allow Buffy actors .. Nice neat overlaps (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75969: A straightforward enjoyable easy grid - :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75966: A decent grid based around the IOM during TT week - nice :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dee @ #75974: @Doc Filth @Alex Wojtak As part of the NATO alphabet Juliett is traditionally spelled with 2 Ts to prevent mispronunciation from speakers of languages like French (1 year, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #75974: Red herrings galore 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 6 months ago)

Alex Wojtak @ #75974: Got thrown by the misspelling. How many t's are we putting on poor Juliet! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75937: Loved it (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75962: Your grid is great - it’s just a shame with the longer ones that they overlap which means it is harder to read. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #75974: Juliet has one T. (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #75963: Enjoyable. I was let down by my sheltered upbringing and unfamiliarity with marijuana terms :) So got the group but not the links. Glad to broaden my mind though (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75971: Very good (1 year, 6 months ago)

Frankie @ #75973: Good grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75973: Great (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75974: Loved it (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #75972: Nice neat grid, fairly easy but entertaining. Liked the hidden word in wombat. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Greg @ #75969: A good one. Managed it, but not easy (1 year, 6 months ago)

gridlington @ #53170: Aaaagh! I knew it was Abba songs, but I couldn't get the last one! Dancing Queen! Doh! 🤣 (1 year, 6 months ago)

gridlington @ #75954: @Bathfood, you are right. There are 76,000 grids on here! If they were all the same format it would soon get very boring. I like the picture ones too! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Liz Truss @ #57508: Um . . . . er . . . (1 year, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #75972: Good grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

gaffer gibson @ #75971: I got the groups but Greenland is not a country it is a dependency of Denmark. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #75966: Very good, some excellent red herrings 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #75969: Good one 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dee @ #75967: "Words ending in -me"? really? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Davey @ #75962: Can't believe I got 10 (1 year, 6 months ago)

cazza @ #75954: Loved the "holes" connection (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75742: The groups were all lovely, but I'm not such a fan where the groups are all the same type - in this case all "followed by". OC normally limits itself to one lexicographical connection per wall, and for good reason. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75745: Goodness. Wherever did you find Gooseneck Loosestrife from? Thanks for the learning moment. Some fun links and herrings. I really appreciated the clock group. Nicely done. Thanks. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75762: I know and like Chvrches, but I'm not sure their singles merit an OC wall. 🤣 (1 year, 6 months ago)

sdg83 @ #75956: Good grid, thanks, have enjoyed all the gruds you've posted in last day or so (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bruce @ #75962: Surely "Son of a Preacher-Dusty Springfield"? Last category (Boys and Girls) was a bit vague - could have at least given us the other words - e.g. Hey Hey Chemical Brothers (1 year, 6 months ago)

sdg83 @ #75954: Good grid, I also enjoy the grids that are more like the show's ones (1 year, 6 months ago)

us @ #75954: Great Job! Happy Tuesday! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75769: I'm unsure how to rate the difficulty. 3 groups solved in rapid time, and then utterly stumped on the father group. Thanks. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Baldrick @ #75947: Very good - I was convinced there was an icecream one in there somewhere... (1 year, 6 months ago)

Baldrick @ #75954: Fun grid. Whimsical, but lots of good connections and red herrings (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75784: Same. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75874: Nice. Thanks. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75878: An interesting reversed dynamic. I spent two minutes staring at the grid saying "What?!?!?". But then I saw one link, then another two, and then it all tumbled into place with a rush. My opinion is that all clues fit, although that Woolf novel is decidedly obscurer (sic) than most clues on this site. I learned something new, so thanks. (1 year, 6 months ago)

ChuckieD @ #75962: I really struggled to read these with them overlapping so much from the long text (1 year, 6 months ago)

Penguin @ #75908: #Liz thank you. You’re quite right, I should’ve added more than just synonyms to the description and have now done so. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Toferino @ #75937: Not getting the significance of the numbers? I thought years of release, but Karate Kid is a 1980s movie. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75962: Interesting. Thanks. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75954: @gusthefox Nicely done. Thx (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75954: @barry wom I agree. It's so nice to see a well thought out proper grid like this. I'm not sure the others you refer to are out of ignorance. I think they're just experimenting with the concept and trying to explore new ideas of what can be done. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Davey @ #75951: 7/10 is good (1 year, 6 months ago)

Rustic @ #75963: Tricky but gettable. Like the range of clues but in familiar patterns. (1 year, 6 months ago)

jm @ #75962: I love the artist/title mix-ups. (1 year, 6 months ago)

SuperT @ #65592: Didn't accept Thunderbirds. Why?????? Didn't accept monarchs. Why??????????????? (1 year, 6 months ago)

TopsyandTim @ #75959: tough but enjoyable - ty (1 year, 6 months ago)

jm @ #75959: I couldn't reall distinguish between the two groups where movies were made about them... very good though. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Davey @ #75945: 10/10....pleasing (1 year, 6 months ago)

Davey @ #75943: Should have got 10.....bit alas only 6 scored.... Ah well... Never mind (1 year, 6 months ago)

jm @ #75956: 7 - not bad. I didn't get the Presidents... (1 year, 6 months ago)

jm @ #75933: Good - i didn't know the Spiderman one but the others were gettable. (1 year, 6 months ago)

jm @ #75958: Not as tough as it first looked - I GOT A 10! Very enjoyable grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

jm @ #75936: Some nice overlaps - I like a themed grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75937: Got me furrowing my brow a bit good quiz (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75954: A proper grid with four different connections and neat overlaps - very good :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75935: Nice easy grid Frustrated it didn’t accept the prefix The for the group which all start with the word The… (1 year, 6 months ago)

Theo @ #75910: That was so much fun! Had to refresh it like a million times, but worth it. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75948: Good gridding. . (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75953: Very good. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75954: Excellent (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75956: Super stuff! (1 year, 6 months ago)

barry wom @ #75954: A really good proper Only Connect type grid thanks. A lot of people setting these seem to have never seen the program and don't understand the concept. Nice one. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #75933: Nice grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #75956: Good, (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dee @ #72102: overlapping red herrings mean this wall has other possible solutions. (1 year, 6 months ago)

skyler (guyfierifan) @ #75956: nice! i enjoyed all the red herrings, like perhaps "tinkerbell" and "alexander (graham) bell". or maybe i am not that smart. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #75824: Elegant, challenging, but solvable (1 year, 6 months ago)

Davey @ #75928: Same for Me Bf... Only 7/10 (1 year, 6 months ago)

savetheclocktower @ #74539: Not bad altogether, but one quibble: it's rough to give us four of the commonest names for men and ask what they have in common. (1 year, 6 months ago)

David @ #75933: Great puzzle even if the Tobey connection went way over my head ! (1 year, 6 months ago)

savetheclocktower @ #75302: The Schwarzenegger roles were a great category. I didn't mind the film focus, but having two different categories of robots was not exactly to my liking. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Juan Foyth @ #75933: Loof mate are you taking the mick? This is a joke at this point. Do you have any idea how goddamm easy this is for me? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Juan Foyth @ #75934: Easy for me (1 year, 6 months ago)

Kath @ #75942: Neat! (1 year, 6 months ago)

LadyMonde @ #75923: Thanks for pointing that out. Fixed. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #75939: Nice one. Couple of the groups were partially guessable from the single article and from the plurals, so slightly easier than it could have been. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dee @ #72893: "Holiday" in the US doesn't only refer to days that are officially given off work. However the full name of the holiday is "Valentine's Day," not just Valentine's, so it doesn't quite fit the category. Cute, breezy grid. All items should be capitalized though (1 year, 6 months ago)

Frankie @ #75930: . (1 year, 6 months ago)

cazza @ #75937: Confusing to go from 3 groups of films missing a word to complete titles with a common theme (1 year, 6 months ago)

RBR45 @ #75919: good grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

us @ #75919: Good job (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75919: Arora and aidia fit the group, but are they actual words I've never heard of? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75935: Nice one. ty. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75933: Lovely. Four novel connections, with no tenuous or contrived elements. Fun! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75928: Wow! I resolved the wall super quickly, but was stumped by that Cleansing line. A great connection, and today I learned a great fact about cleansing, too. Thanks. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75903: Lovely. Thanks. (1 year, 6 months ago)

TopsyandTim @ #75939: It's pretty 'niche' to be honest.... i got 6: knew the songs but not well enough to do it in time. (1 year, 6 months ago)

TopsyandTim @ #75934: Very good (1 year, 6 months ago)

TopsyandTim @ #75936: Great grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75895: A lovely grid. I agree with Neil about one jumping out, but there was still work to be done. If it hadn't been been for them, I'd have been completely adrift - some of those consonant combinations are far from unique. A couple of red herrings (I didn't spot any) could have been fun. Nicely done. 👏👏👏 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Loof @ #75934: I thought so too HaveUseen, but they’re actually a class of oceanic dolphin! (1 year, 6 months ago)

HaveUseen @ #75934: Orca's are not dolphins. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Rob @ #75919: Lovely grid - excellent answer explanations just need an update now that Esther has clearly replaced Deborah (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ro @ #75895: Fun grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dee @ #73231: Great grid! Was stumped but hit myself every time a category was revealed. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #75919: Nice grid. But the answers for the biblical names had Deborah instead of Rebecca. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Kensuke @ #75919: What i *would* say, is that you've got one of the names wrong in the bible one. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #75906: Goodness me, that was a difficult grid. My knowledge of films songs from classic Hollywood and baldness is very poor. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #75903: Really nice grid, some excellent overlaps. All in all very satisfying. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid @ #40503: Quite. The other lines were good though. (1 year, 6 months ago)

123 @ #75927: Fair enough (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75927: Good ideas, but some entries just don't work for their groups. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75927: Only one of those is a fictional country. Xanadu was a real place later romanticised by Coleridge Shangri La is a fictional valley that has come to represent earthly paradise Valhalla is a Hall in the Norse mythological afterlife realm of Asgard The red herrings appear to be mythical paradise too - is the description an error? Or have I totally missed the point. Such inaccuracy is not like you. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Liz @ #75908: Maybe would be nice if the actual description of the group of synonyms would also be accepted? Not just "synonyms". Still, great grid! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75923: Alfalfa doesn’t end with a NATO phonetic alphabet letter. It ends with part of the name of an Italian car maker. The NATO alphabet starts with Alpha. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Hamburger @ #75921: This is good. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mick @ #74214: 👌👌 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Donna @ #66957: I've played too many grids tonight, confetti in 15 seconds, but enjoyed it nonetheless! (1 year, 6 months ago)

mal @ #75911: Easy fun (1 year, 6 months ago)

Donna @ #67119: Enjoyed a lot, I knew immediately that there was a country connection but got lost tying Biffy Clyro and Texas together as definitely Scottish. Solved them all at the end. Good grid, some great bands :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

M.mouse @ #75907: Pity it wouldn't accept American cities (1 year, 6 months ago)

Donna @ #67221: Same, unfamiliar with Hong Kong so knowledge learned! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Donna @ #67233: I wrote 'Isle' instead of Islands but I'll take the win :) Good grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75914: Video games, Beyoncé songs - rejected means of getting around / transport…. I shouldn’t have liked this grid but I did ! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75911: Lovely grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Rob @ #75911: Great grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #75896: There should be individually interchangable items - but only one way they can all fit. Otherwise it just becomes luck. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fisty @ #75914: Beyonce songs, urgh (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid @ #40561: Clever. I kept reading Reading as Reading iyswim. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #75911: (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #75899: @Toferino, I'd be interested to see any OC grids that allow multiple possible solutions. Crossovers, aka red herrings, are of course expected, and within any one group there may be any number (up to 1820, if my maths is correct) of possible combinations, but across the entire grid there should be only one. (1 year, 6 months ago)

sparky @ #75912: Nicely done !! (1 year, 6 months ago)

pleurotus @ #75907: colours (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75859: It was the movie group I didn't know perhaps Ace you are too young!!! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75861: Worked out the groups then ran out of time brain exhausted now! Off to do an easy. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Toferino @ #75899: @Ace, you clearly aren't a fan of Only Connect. There is no requirement for a unique solution at all. In fact the so-called crossovers are expected. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75914: Do some of you spend your time playing video games as many grids have a line I stopped at snake!!! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75906: Very good only got one group but brain thoroughly excersised! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75908: what a good grid should be .....easy enough for me to get fetti! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Davey @ #75906: How the hell did I get 7/10.....difficult grid..... Guessed a lot (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #75912: Nice simple grid. You forgot to put the colours in the answer texts though. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #75915: I like the idea of the French and French-derived words as a red herring. Elargir, though, is the infinitive sense of the verb, meaning 'to enlarge. Is there some other context in which it's used as written? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Davey @ #75903: Very clever grid.... Loved it.... Annoyed I only got 6/10.....should have aced it (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #75863: Great idea. Took a while to spot them fairly plain sailing (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #75891: First time I've seen Papa Roach in a grid. I was losing my sight, losing my mind trying to find that connection. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Finn @ #75912: Cool (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #75879: Good grid. The definitions worked for me. I would say dinner for a cooked evening meal and tea for a light evening meal, so worked for me. And I've heard cannabis called bud too. Though I took the others to be names for cocaine. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75909: Fine and easy. (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #75899: Fun grid, though I tend to agree there should only be one unique solution, but I always did tend to be a bit of a pedant :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #75898: Loved the Queen red herring, and thought religious offices could have been accepted (quibble), agree about Pluto and also don't know why it only got 2 stars. So all in all I'm like everyone else! (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #75909: Nice straightforward fun grid. Might be an idea to give the surnames of the Formula One drivers for non-aficionados (1 year, 6 months ago)

JB920 @ #75907: @scousemouse and @Neil, I put too much thought into it. I didn't even think of Sandom and i highlighted ROYAL to show he was an actual Queen member and not a +. It's changed to be a bit easier. Sorry bout that (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75909: Very simple and easy grid - fun to do :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75908: A nicely put together grid :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75907: The Who’s original drummer was NOT Kieth Moon - it was Doug Sandom Bryan May’s ROYAL singer - Not keen on that either - it rather implies who sang with him at the Platinum Jubilee concert which was Adam Lambert (who is also a singer in Queen negating that royal implication It’s fiendish enough without the clues being plain wrong A good idea let down by inaccuracy (1 year, 6 months ago)

film buff @ #75903: Nice TY (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75903: Nice grid with clever overlapping groups (1 year, 6 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #75879: I iiked this a lot - and Tea/Dinner works fine for me. Some people call their evening meal dinner- some call it tea No problem with ocean/sea either - we're playing a puzzle not writing a dictionary ;-) (1 year, 6 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #75880: Great grid - :-) (1 year, 6 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #75903: great grid - thank you (1 year, 6 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #75907: I like your ambition - but much too difficult for me to attempt in 3 minutes - required too much specific knowledge of quite a broad range of topics and there weren't any simple ways in to help me. Lets see how others get on ! (1 year, 6 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #75908: nothing controversial - a great classic grid. Thanks (1 year, 6 months ago)

sparky @ #75895: Nice neat grid - thanks (1 year, 6 months ago)

sparky @ #75898: Nice and neat with some good red herrings - well done. (1 year, 6 months ago)

sparky @ #75899: Love it !! Very nice grid- cheers.The more red herrings the better I say !! (1 year, 6 months ago)

cazza @ #75896: Yes, there were one or two that could fit in more than one category, but that is all part of the fun! (1 year, 6 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #75896: Unfortunately under in your water group could legitimately be swapped with back in your fire group - that rather threw me - but liked it apart from that (1 year, 6 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #75899: Very tough ! Great grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #75894: There's almost a weather set hidden in there, and i spent way too long hunting for it. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Davey @ #75899: Yes... Super dolly... Isn't that the point of the game.... 10/10 for me.... Right up my street lol.... Thanks (1 year, 6 months ago)

Btb16 @ #75898: Queen seemed obvious at first glance .Good grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Julie @ #75891: Great grid except the Ford links. Not keen on that one. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Julie @ #75898: Needs Clergy to be accepted. Pluto a dwarf planet now. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Alison @ #75898: Please add clergy or even religious occupations to possible answers. Ditto to the above comment re Pluto. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75898: I gave it four stars too although should accept clergy but that's a minor quibble! Not all grids need to be mensa so shame on those who gave it few stars. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75899: Ace that is the whole point so many red herrings I am sure I have grown extra wrinkles keep em coming! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #75899: @Neil, I don't think it's the first time they've been mixed up like this. Slight gripe though that Opera and Races are interchangeable between the two groups. (1 year, 6 months ago)

beep boop @ #67857: the katy perry song is firework (singular) not plural (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75898: I only found this because I changed the search to include poor grids - it had a two star ranking I don’t know why It’s a neat grid with a full red herring group that neatly overlaps everywhere I thought it well worthy of the four stars I gave it Cleverly put together and enjoyable to solve - I’m glad I found it :) Only pedantic gripe is that Pluto shouldn’t be in that group anymore 🤔😉😉👍 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75899: I suppose someone was bound to overlap Queen albums and Marx brothers sooner or later - although it’s not a coincidence that they do overall - I’m only surprised you didn’t sneak the Pet Shop Boys in too It made for a nice grid though - I did enjoy it :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75895: Seemed quite easy - one in each group jumped out and it fell into place Nice combination of a connecting wall and missing vowels :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Davey @ #75891: Whinehouse??????? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75802: Oh yesss (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75878: Plug got me! Semitone does work! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #75894: I thought it was a good board (1 year, 6 months ago)

mal @ #75878: Wouldn't call a plug a bath ''accessory'' but not a bad grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75894: Hard but not fiendish A Quipu is a means of record keeping using string - but you don’t need to know that to get the group - in fact it made it easier as it pointed to a word play group. Good overlaps - but not too many - nicely balanced grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75893: Lots of question marks on this one You get Light Railways - but I’ve never heard of a light train A cable drawn railway is a funicular - using cable to connect to railway is tenuous I’ve never heard of a single one of the knives ( but that doesn’t mean they are wrong of course) Angel is part of a brand name but I don’t think it’s a type of dessert - and Molten is tenuous Fiendish for sure - but not for the right reasons for me Good ideas…. But didn’t click for me (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75892: Animal enclosures not allowed? Otherwise good and loved the sneaky X wing overlap (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75881: Nice to see Rush and Yes getting a look in :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75880: Another good one I typed Professions which wasn’t allowed (maybe maid isn’t a profession - but it’s always a guess what the setter uses to describe groups like that one ) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Avenger @ #57961: Boris the spider is actrack by The Who, it appears on the album - Meaty Beaty Bigg and Bouncy. Fabulous record! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75879: Close but no cigar from me Liked the idea but not some of the ‘definitions’ Dinner does not describe tea by any definition It can be breakfast - dinner - tea (it was where I come from ) It can be breakfast - lunch - afternoon tea - dinner ( maybe in Harrogate … ) But dinner is never the same thing as or a description of tea. And Ocean is dubious for sea too. Would have been good, it’s unusual to get overlaps on grids like this - but maybe “programming language” and “the A Team’s Mr” would have worked better - other valid options are available !!

Toferino @ #75881: Nice grid, original with so many crossovers, but not so many that it's impossible to solve. Playing cards as a category has been done to death but you managed to incorporate it here in an interesting way. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75861: Found that very tough. (1 year, 6 months ago)

tomhcafc @ #75863: Great idea and format but some pretty inaccurate definitions (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75832: Really really satisfying. Thanks. My subconscious kept bringing me back to Thora, and I stupidly kept pushing it away. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75860: Lovely. I'd never have found the damask group. I was all fired up to insist upon "rambl-ING", but the RHS agrees with you, and I've learned something. So thanks. Could we add "distance" to the acceptable answers, please? A really nice grid. Thanks. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #75859: 10/10 but I had to guess the link for the scream group - are the other three really obscure, or only to those of us averse to that sort of thing? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #75863: Nice idea, but quite simple once you've spotted the common links. Couple of them aren't quite correct though, should be omites and iage, and the der and vent definitions aren't strictly correct. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #75824: Nice grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Alison @ #75818: Oops! Wrong grid, soz 🙄 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Alison @ #75818: Very good! I had the ale group in my head, but simply didn’t notice the elements 😀 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Alison @ #75818: Chris, hops aren’t normally used in whisky distilling, so I wouldn’t expect such a niche ingredient to be accepted. I expected “stages of distilling” to have worked, but this was seemingly too broad. Frustrating grid 🙁 (1 year, 6 months ago)

SuperT @ #75824: Very enjoyable. You can come again. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #75832: Excellent, but perhaps a teensy bit specialist. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Trillium @ #75824: Excellent! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Aetees @ #75824: Excellent (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75786: Really satisfying. Thanks. Plenty of entry points, and opportunities to attack, but still needing work to unlock it all. Fab. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #75685: Nice grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #75824: Good grid - more of these please (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #75831: Very clever - got stuck in a loop trying loads of Robin combinations. Good grid - thanks (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75828: USSR didn't accept soviet otherwize lovely grid good RHs (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75831: I enjoy learning new things, and the "aye" answer was new to me, thanks. But I thought that "man" was too obscure and too tenuous. But it's just an opinion. The other lines were great. And I really enjoyed it, thanks. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75824: Great fun (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75824: Lovely. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75796: Oh god, I'm so sorry for the Ben/Waldorf cockup. I was torn between the two, hence the error. Fixed it now. I went for Waldorf in the end. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #75803: Beyoncé? Nice that you’re a fan, but don’t expect others to share your fascination with her tour venues (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fun @ #75806: Interesting grid, but 'weapon' was not allowed for the 'weapons' category, the same story for 'religious buildings' for the 'places of worship category'! Other than that, good grid, loved the 'St. Paul's' category. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #75822: @Neil, Radical starts with Rad, short form of Fahrrad, German for bicycle. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dahlia @ #75824: Nice! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #75821: Nice enough grid, quite simple, just one small niggle - Australia is the name of a country, the continent of which it is a part is called Australasia. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Kevin @ #75819: Easy grid but truly bizarre categories. Why specifically running? Why specifically cricket (as opposed to baseball, for example)? Crockery rejected... (1 year, 6 months ago)

skinny @ #75815: Tv detectives now accepted. Thanks for taking part (1 year, 6 months ago)

Adrian Gray @ #75808: Tough grid lots of RHs. Well done! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75828: Straightforward, but well constructed. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75818: Very easy. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75819: Very easy but fun. I echo the keywords comments. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Adrian Gray @ #75815: A good grid bur pretty easy. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75822: ? Suze - Suez isn’t in France it’s in Egypt - is there an anagram that fits the group - I can’t see one. ? Rowers - bike at the start? Where? - again I can’t see it. Ditto Radical @Ace - Bridge cameras are a thing - Digital cameras between basic point and shoot like phone cameras and full on DSLR cameras (1 year, 6 months ago)

Adrian Gray @ #75824: Really clever grid didn't get all the connections but could appreciate the thought. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75824: Very clever. Fine grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75826: Good stuff! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #75822: three groups have one that doesn't seem to fit. Bridge, Suze, Rowers . It may seem clever to the setter but if you can't work out why they fit even given the connection then it's not really in the spirit of the thing. At the very least give an explanation if there is one. (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #75819: Nice and neat. Fortunately, unlike Neil, my keywords were accepted. I think there's often a bit of luck involved here. I notice I sometimes forget obvious connecting words too. I take the points anyway :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Chris @ #75818: Should really accept synonyms for the cleaning answer, and also hops for the whisky question as that's what you're performing the action on. Agree that it's not beer-specific, and more correctly you could go containers of liquid or 'things that have alcohol in'. (1 year, 6 months ago)

mal @ #75802: Silly in the best fun way! (1 year, 6 months ago)

M @ #75815: Should TV detectives be acceptable perhaps? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75824: Nice one. This grid clicked with me - we must have similar trains of thought !! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75821: Nice n easy (1 year, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #75821: Nice and easy grid 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75819: Very easy and enjoyable grid but with very poor key words for the answers - rejected four perfectly valid ones (like crockery) Makes it rather frustrating (1 year, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #75824: Very good, enjoy this sort of grid 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75818: Not bad - not bad at all and quite easy… But to be pedantic - Firkin and Barrel are not really ways of keeping beer - nor is a glass When it comes to beer, Firkin and Barrel are volumes, usually used as ways to describe sizes of cask (a firkin at 9 gallons is a quarter of a barrel at 36 gallons ) A glass is a way of serving beer but you wouldn’t keep it in a glass.

Frankie @ #75818: Liked this (1 year, 6 months ago)

Frankie @ #75821: OK (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75813: Very nice multiple overlapping grid Barry Island leapt out at me - not because of the seaside town but because it’s the name of the railway scrap yard that didn’t do its job and led to the availability of mostly intact steam locomotives and hence the vast majority of now preserved operational locos! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75809: One for Londoners As a northerner I could see what the connections all were - but missed getting the street/road groups separated So only scored six Nice fun grid never the less (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75808: Neat :) I still don’t know what a Ziti is - but I assume you bake them 😂 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75806: Sergeant would be the correct spelling But that word does not appear in a Beatles Album It’s Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Always the abbreviation - never the full word Got it anyway but these grids are editable and for the sake of accuracy a worthwhile edit I feel .! Other than that an enjoyable fun grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75802: Took me a few extra seconds to work out how Amazon TV fitted - D’oh!! Great fun :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Baldrick @ #75784: Super strong grid - under rated! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Kevin @ #75799: A bit one dimensional but a good grid. Have to agree with Neil, very little to do with general knowledge and no red herrings - simply a Dickens themed quiz. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Trillium @ #75802: Fun! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Penguin @ #75786: Lovely grid. Very enjoyable. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Davey @ #75791: 10/10...pleased with that (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #75799: @Neil, you say that like it's a bad thing. I enjoyed it - much better than so many others with things like pokemon types and Taylor Swift lyrics. 10/10, thanks to the recent BBC series of David Copperfield. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75801: Another I wasn’t sure how to rate for difficulty The mixture of real and stage names actually made it much easier and reduced the permutations (John Lydon in one band not Johnny Rotten as in the other). I’d done the SP group before starting the SATB one so missed that red herring ! Ultimately rather niche - great for anyone with knowledge of 70/80s punk etc. (but that includes me so great for me ! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75799: Excellent (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75799: Not so much a grid as a test of knowledge of Dickens characters …. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75766: Great grid! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75776: Fair point! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75788: Great grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #75759: Enjoyable, well done. Doesn't need to be difficult to be fun. (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #75760: Easy but pleasantly put together. Doctor Who foxed me but I was never a great fan. Might be an idea to spice things up with a couple of red herrings. (1 year, 6 months ago)

barry wom @ #75766: The "art" group really made me laugh - genuinely original, well done. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Adrian Gray @ #75744: Didn't get into group - didn't get Marvel reference (1 year, 6 months ago)

Adrian Gray @ #75764: Clever grid, only got the PIs right at the end. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75757: Great ideas, but ton and ted can be swapped between their groups - Denton is a town in greater Manchester- so there are at least two equally valid solutions to the grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Rymp @ #75749: Very Good Grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Trix @ #75740: You must be tired WyeKnott! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Trix @ #75757: A bit tricky - which I like! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75761: This demonstrates I over- scored the quality on the previous grid - grids are supposed to have only one correct solution !! I usually dock a star when there is more than one !! Crafty re-use of the grid an amusing though so I’ll forgive you ! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75760: Nice and easy Wasn’t sure how hard to score difficulty for it - not everyone will find the names category easy I didn’t spot it when solving the grid - only when I’d selected the rest and it fell into place - and I’m a fan! But for me it it was very easy so I went with that :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Kevin @ #75748: Rymans are still trading. Slightly misleading one but otherwise a good grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75760: Easy but fun. Might be worth considering widening the solution choice to include Doctor Who. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #75739: Thank you Plod for giving me a shower of much needed confetti, I was starting to doubt my abilities. Plus I believe "--" the Tank, was a WWE fighter and nothing to do with Rev W Awdry, or am I wrong? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75723: @Trix - it actually says since 1923 on the label - so spot on - my mistake I don’t know where I got 1922 from but it was in my head… Didn’t matter because I knew Disney down to the actual day ( it happens to be my birthday although not 1923 in my case !! ) A good fun grid even if you de spell my favourite confectionary the American way!

Ace @ #75717: @Neil, the Blue in the computer name was taken from the shade, as IBM had been using that colour on most of their computer cases for years. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #75721: Nice one. Perhaps if I'd spotted the conjunction link it would have made it easier, but I was quite unable to get the connection on the sack group, so it's up to Hard in my book, (1 year, 6 months ago)

Trix @ #75723: @Neil, from National Museum of Australia "Vegemite was invented in Melbourne in 1923 when an Australian food manufacturer requested a product similar to British Marmite. This spread made from brewer’s yeast became a distinctively ‘Australian food’ despite being owned by an American company for several decades. Vegemite is carried around the world by Australians as a way to reaffirm their connection to home." (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75723: I didn’t see a US flag in this grid so it should be Liquorice. Wasn’t Vegemite’s 100th 2022? I found it hard to rate this grid - I solved it very quickly and got all the connections - but there was a lot of luck in that. I only knew the connection for two of the Disney group and two of the Daryl Hannah group - but guessed right at the last minute. Got the Daryl Hannah group based on actresses and the Disney one fell into place So it felt easy - but was it early ? Sometimes luck just goes my way ! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75722: A very easy one this time I do wonder if there is a way to overlap some groups Harder to set I suspect and harder to complete but would be nice to try :) a good grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75721: Took a while to get going - but after getting the so group guessed they were all conjunctions and fell nicely into place A good grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Hi @ #75698: Nice grid. I thought the queen, down, pocket, king group was to do with poker. They are all cards in poker. A downcard, pocket card (or hole card) is one that's dealt face-down. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75709: Actually I rated it medium for difficulty even though you say it was deliberately easy . ! But then again I did a lyrics one the other day that everyone had rated fiendish and I found extremely easy - we don’t all think the same way! Solved in the wrong order and might not have noticed the TT tribute if you hadn’t pointed it out - but excellent idea non the less (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #75705: Yes it’s for fun - but grid setters generally want to be accurate and several acknowledge feedback and even edit grids to improve them - and in this case my own feedback is to say I also found the “county” connection tenuous Trix sets good grids usually and this was a largely a good grid too - and I do enjoy the clue based ones like it - but it’s not Trix’ best because of that group (1 year, 6 months ago)

wouzzee @ #75151: Really cool! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #75705: Very clever, although I think the English county grid is tenuous. It doesn't really mean 'de-seat rider' (even if that's often the result) and it doesn't apply to all male mammals. I enjoyed it, though. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75693: Totally lost with this grid and non the wiser for the explanations mixed block capitals for no apparent reason “Contain compass directions”. No they don’t they might contain a capital letter that represents a compass direction but only because you randomly capitalised whole words Rather frustrating :( (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fairy @ #75631: Nice and simple. Unlike another I am familiar with a pork pie hat. I associate it with Reggae and Ska musicians. The two tone music of the late 70s early 80s.

Salsa is kind of a sauce and the others are so saucer they are known as Mint sauce, chilli sauce and hollondaise sauce. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fairy @ #75628: I figured out the connections, bit had to use Google to help get the members of each. So a slight cheat. Very challenging, but great idea. The authors one confused me a bit. Bachman is King's pseudonym. But Blair is Orwell's birth name. Bell was the Brontë pseudonym but Cornwell was LeCarre's real name. So you have two Pseudonyms in that group and two birth names.

Sid Kneebridge @ #75641: Tough (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75652: The answers aren’t the only linguistic connections Writing the same word twice doesn’t really work in a grid anyway Nice though - but definitely no cigar here I’m afraid (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75652: Oh, dear, doesn't work for me. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75653: Very enjoyable. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75648: Very clever grid. Highly enjoyable. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sredni @ #75638: This is a grid of the highest quality. Thanks for setting. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid @ #44555: Nice one. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Marylin Smith @ #72079: Wouldn't take singular of Beers and Wines, wouldn't accept soft drinks instead of mixers (1 year, 7 months ago)

Davey @ #75638: 7/10 🤔 (1 year, 7 months ago)

Richard @ #75648: Your categories are a mess of "makers/languages" "start with or end or contain" and the "end with names"category are all countries in the Americas (1 year, 7 months ago)

SuperT @ #75634: Is Kevin Trippier related to Kieran? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Gorgon @ #75631: Had never heard of the porkpie hat or merengue dance so failed to find the connections but could name them once laid out. I find joining salsa (a dip/topping), hollandaise (a sauce), chili (a meal), and mint (an herb) together as anything other than "edible" a bit of a stretch. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Gorgon @ #75524: Did not think I would get this in time once I spotted the trick, but luckily the connections were obvious. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Jay @ #75618: This was fantastic!! (1 year, 7 months ago)

James @ #75638: Absolute disaster! I should've done much better... (1 year, 7 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #75574: Nice grid 👍 (1 year, 7 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #75632: I think I should be pleased with myself for even getting one group in that. (1 year, 7 months ago)

JM @ #75636: Fiendish - surely?? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Dahlia @ #75634: Enjoyed this! (1 year, 7 months ago)

weegieman @ #75628: I didn't change anything. After checking the grid, I see I didn't actually say Bachman and Bell were real names. However, Puddles is right in that I should have allowed "Pseudonyms" as a connection, just didn't think of it, sorry (1 year, 7 months ago)

Davey @ #75456: 7/10....missed out with the tube stations.... Hard but good (1 year, 7 months ago)

Aalhad @ #75624: The lack of capitalisation on the film and song title first letters is probably irking me more than it should (1 year, 7 months ago)

Noelski @ #75624: G: amended (1 year, 7 months ago)

Noelski @ #75624: count+snackula: football is 'soccer' in many places around the world, especially those places that already have 'football' of another type e.g. gaelic, American, rugby, etc. I'm happy to amend. (1 year, 7 months ago)

JM @ #75628: I ran out of time with nothing solved but got the links - very tough! well done. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Davey @ #75631: 10/10 😜 (1 year, 7 months ago)

count+snackula @ #75624: G: football is not called soccer. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Noelski @ #75624: Gordash, I'm not sure what you mean. Can you be specific? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Noelski @ #75624: G, I will try to amend to include 'soccer'. I'm not sure how to, but... (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75631: Easy but fun. Nice grid. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75631: Surely is should be dunce’s with the possessive s…. Only a minor gripe though - nice easy wall to start the day (1 year, 7 months ago)

Gordash @ #75624: Good grid, but your answers are too restrictive throughout (1 year, 7 months ago)

avi @ #73133: typos (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid @ #44938: Enjoyed. The last line was something a bit different. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75628: Think you got the wrong end of the stick there puddles. That is what the connection is - pseudonyms of writers better known by their real names - the other groups are all real names - that group is the other way round (or am I seeing a corrected version ?) Definitely fiendish - but equally definitely a good grid !! (1 year, 7 months ago)

weegieman @ #75628: Thanks Puddles, sloppily formulated on my part. If I can work out how to do it (not very good on the PC) I shall correct it. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Puddles @ #75628: Richard Bachman and Acton Bell are pseudonyms, not real names. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Stephen B @ #75524: Would be nice to accept garments rather than clothing (1 year, 7 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #75609: Derry air (1 year, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #75620: Very contrived. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75597: Well constructed and fun. (1 year, 7 months ago)

G @ #75615: Should accept 'Missing letter at end' as a correct solution to second group (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75608: Very good. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Davey @ #75618: 10 out of 10 for me... Feeling smug lol (1 year, 7 months ago)

Kristin @ #75614: Interestingly, WHITE can go in front of everything in the circus group. The White Circus is a movie; White ham is a very specific type of ham; White Castle is an American burger chain; and whitewater is an area of rapids AND a political scandal during Bill Clinton's presidency. But, no worries! I just gave myself the point. 😊 Nice grid. (1 year, 7 months ago)

JM @ #75612: Too tough for this time in the morning!! well done. (1 year, 7 months ago)

spikethecat @ #75615: Good grid. TY :-) Suggest the following corrections: 1. Accept currencies vs European currencies 2. Pick another poet other than Auden as we Brits like to claim him as ours vs American :-) Thank you for accepting "Poets" as an answer (1 year, 7 months ago)

Freddgar @ #75615: Nice straightforward grid 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 7 months ago)

Steve @ #75590: Sadly the Sally clue was too obscure, way more than the rest of the puzzle, in my opinion. Great otherwise though! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mister+Tom @ #70112: V clever, pitched just right and a little spin (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75615: Didn’t accept currencies ? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75610: As a prog nut this grid should have appealed to me But as any fan of King Crimson, Yes, The Nice and even Asia knows, the number of interchangeable members is a mathematical nightmare It might not surprise you to know that I scored zero for identifying groups and 4 for naming the connections (1 year, 7 months ago)

Welcome_to_the_OC @ #75608: Good grid! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcolm @ #75589: (1 year, 7 months ago)

malcolm @ #75589: A few notes: tilted group - some are singular and some are plural. I feel they should match Jenga group- three of the group match the category, but actually Jenga does not Mitt group- In a UK grid, I don't think Mitt really fits with the connection - I think that only works in a place where baseball is a thing (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcolm @ #75589: (1 year, 7 months ago)

gnush @ #75598: Some good red herrings, nice grid! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #75588: Bit annoying to get an American sport group in a British-flagged grid. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #75595: Very clever. Far too clever for me, at least. Only got a group and its connection. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #75591: *Groans* at the HoG group. Got me, even though I watch it all the time. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75568: Very good. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #75589: Nice grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75587: Clever, with a nice mixture of gener knowledge and word based links, but too full of obscure clues, like 'Kateh'. Also, I think it's a bit unfair to have 'Leopold' rather than 'Leo' as the clue on the grid. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #75586: Great grid. Like the snow see. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Midge @ #75587: Sorry David, I meant to put it as 'Hard'. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Tom @ #75581: Never heard of a bulbul but got it from the rest. Good grid. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75574: @weegieman - an argument is often about two sides trying to make their point - but an argument doesn’t have to have two people - eg I made the argument for going to the pub sound quite convincing - also about making your point …. So I was perfectly happy with that group :) (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75569: @Weegieman - me too! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Liz @ #75493: Really wish the brits would allow color as a spelling too, we're not all native english speakers, really spoils the fun of the game. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Paul @ #75580: I couldn't decide if this was good or annoying. I guess its fun, but a group of "double set of double letters" in a grid that all have that, just makes it a random group of stuff that is not the other 3 groups. Not an actual connection between them that specifically excludes the others. (1 year, 7 months ago)

weegieman @ #75569: Nice one. I got sidetracked looking for Roger to complete the Who (Pete Townsend, Keith Moon, John Entwhistle) Good work. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sands @ #75497: I put marsupials (1 year, 7 months ago)

gridlington @ #75557: Ingen is Danish for "no" as in "not any". "Nej" is the word you were looking for. (1 year, 7 months ago)

gridlington @ #75555: Richard Badger, yes that's the only way I could get it - plus the original UK series of The Office doesn't have those characters in. And is Polo a brand? Or is it a part of the Ralph Lauren brand? (1 year, 7 months ago)

MACKY @ #75571: snoroooooort (1 year, 7 months ago)

weegieman @ #75551: Nice one, liked the politician anagrams in particular (1 year, 7 months ago)

MisterE @ #75569: I worked out all the bands but couldn’t quire get the line-ups within the time limit. Fun grid to do. Thanks. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fairy @ #75510: Great grid. Agree with below. ALI answers rhyme so that should be an acceptable connection, your answer doesn't really match. But I'm proud I worked of most of the cryptic answers (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid @ #46157: Like! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75568: Anything but very easy - which is fine - but worse - rejects Popeye and Flintstones as group answers… Nice concept overlapping actors and characters - but frustrating to have answers rejected (1 year, 7 months ago)

Trix @ #75560: I like Eggheads! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Alison @ #48915: ☝️what pedant said. Also facial features. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Freddgar @ #75554: Nice and easy straightforward grid 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 7 months ago)

Enzed @ #75556: Very nice. Unless you support Real Madrid, Arsenal, Manchester United or Inter Milan None of them want reminding of a certain cerulean colour (1 year, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #68911: Micro refers one millionth. I think Lill is incorrect there. It is a numerical prefix - if you want to call it that. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75552: Doesn’t accept the answers given in the solution Suspect you’ve failed to enter key words Bit pointless like this (1 year, 7 months ago)

Donna @ #73676: I spent too long trying to find the 4th FF7 character, good grid! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75556: Not great. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Lill @ #68911: Technically, “micro” is not a numerical prefix. Just means “small (1 year, 7 months ago)

Donna @ #74066: Good grid, I've never even heard of Oan. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #75556: It's a stinker 😀 (1 year, 7 months ago)

Donna @ #74138: 10/10 - good grid - and added bonus that I had to look up 'ounce', got the connection but wasn't familiar with the term, nice to learn something:) (1 year, 7 months ago)

Lago Mera @ #75524: Heavenly bodies wasn’t allowed. Otherwise clever. (1 year, 7 months ago)

JM @ #75532: I got thr Dora group and the blues - others were more tricky... well done. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Rob @ #75522: Always love a Trix grid. The ivy one was a new one for me too but perfectly possible to work it out by elimination (1 year, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #75512: Gems, perhaps, but not stones. And I thought the names group was a cop-out. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #75524: Cracking good grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

Tom @ #75544: Didn't accept 'anniversaries' - maybe make the key word just 'anniversar' to get all the possibilities? Otherwise, very good. (1 year, 7 months ago)

MACKY @ #75546: Your stoppid (1 year, 7 months ago)

Ro @ #75544: Nicely constructed grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

b @ #75531: I didn't watch the Eurovision nonsense. It hasn't been any good since Lulu won back in '69, so although I completed the grid, I did not get all the connections. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #75522: @Trix, robed with ivy, perhaps, but not robbed. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #75522: Nice one, not too difficult to guess 10/10 even if you don't get the cover with ivy one, which even after a web search only half makes sense, some obscure blogger called cover but no ivy connection, so I guess I still haven't got it either. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Frankie @ #75509: I only got, let it be , but enjoyed the grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

Frankie @ #75504: Liked this (1 year, 7 months ago)

Tom @ #75535: Very good - clever red herring with the playing cards. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Tom @ #75536: Tricky, but fun for a football fan. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Frankie @ #75535: Good grid👍 (1 year, 7 months ago)

Tom @ #75373: Good one :) (1 year, 7 months ago)

Tom @ #75528: I much prefer these grids with four distinct groups and red herrings, rather than the gimmicky ones that are obvious once you work out the gimmick. Enjoyed it - thank you. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Tom @ #75524: Really enjoyed this one, thank you! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75522: Lovely (1 year, 7 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75528: Should allow stadia (one of the plurals of stadium) (1 year, 7 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75531: Didn't solve groaned a lot when I saw the solution...great grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

Trix @ #75522: @Joe, have you heard the expression to describe a house as robbed with ivy? Bit old fashioned perhaps. : ) (1 year, 7 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75524: Great way to start my day! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Micharn @ #75524: Wow, loved this so much! Great to work out. (1 year, 7 months ago)

spikethecat @ #75533: Educational and enjoyable. Thanks :-) (1 year, 7 months ago)

Alison @ #75537: In addition to the above, you allow “stuff” in the first group, but not the second. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Marylin @ #75537: I think you have made a mistake. The blue group is things you use on your face, and the answer says 'teachers' (1 year, 7 months ago)

Marylin @ #75537: I think you have made a mistake. The blue group in things you use on your face, and the answer says 'teachers' (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75528: It’s Qantas Misspellings make grids frustrating and more difficult - is it just a misspelling or deliberate as part of a word clue Quality suffers as a result.. Otherwise all good :) (1 year, 7 months ago)

Hummus @ #75524: Keep 'em coming you beauty. I guessed locations/streets but didn't even notice it was specific as thoroughfares!! what a perfect grid. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75524: These double clue grids are fun - but the double clues do actually make them easier I reckon… 👍👍👍👍 (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75522: Fairly decent fairly easy … quite good fun… I still don’t get the cover with Ivy clue - but it didn’t stop me solving the grid - I’d just like to know! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75520: It doesn’t like cheese (and it’s Camembert) The festival group is marginal - Am Ring just means “on the ring” it’s only a festival when prefixed by Rock. The others are festivals without adding extra words. Pretty good grid otherwise - but grids should be accurate really…. The misspelling means it is not considered for the group initially - assuming it’s deliberate - ditto the partial festival name.. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75516: Nice one :) (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75515: Nice - tricky but satisfying Slightly grumpy at having angling rejected - but very good non the less (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75514: Suffered from high anxiety about this to start with - drawing on my knowledge of the history of the world didn’t help… started to think life stinks or the grid was a load of spaceballs ——. Then got confetti :). You might have guessed I enjoyed this grid but did find it rather easy ! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Tom @ #75528: Marked the quality down as Qantas is spelt incorrectly (1 year, 7 months ago)

Andrew @ #64946: fantastic grid! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75510: Need to tidy up what it accepts They are not homophonic - (which means the sound the same) - they just rhyme - which it didn’t accept in either cases The progression one didn’t accept a progressive list of the words I know it says award yourself the points - but it’s frustrating to get all four connections and have three perfectly decent answers rejected…. Otherwise was a pretty decent grid ! (And I don’t usually like cryptic clues. - so you’ve done a good job there!) (1 year, 7 months ago)

btw @ #75528: No u in qantas. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Jenni @ #75524: Excellent (1 year, 7 months ago)

Micharn @ #75485: This was one of those grids where at first look everything was nonsensical, for a good 20 seconds, and really fun to work through once the groups started to emerge. Fab! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid @ #46951: Nice one. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75483: Very good. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Tom @ #47388: Yeah, it would have been better to have found real words for the zodiac group (diaries, scorpion). Other than that, a good grid. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Toby @ #75359: A nice satisfying grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

cazza @ #75479: Yeah - the auto connection was very tricky... (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75490: Nice easy solve, and mostly pretty obvious groups to identify, even with the red herring crossovers, except the Ravensburg group which was ridiculously obscure. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75481: Only one model of Landrover in the group - two sub models of Range Rover and a sub model that can be either Discovery or Range Rover. (The red herring is a model of Landrover though! ) The connection would be fair enough without sport (which I’d definitely not a model without the prefixes) but without that hard to fill the group - maybe XF and the connection becomes JLR? Missed the abc group and I shouldn’t have - nicely done including one of those for each other group ! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75456: Fun, and fairly straightforward thanks to the dots indicating it was a missing words challenge.

adw @ #75456: Is this a reaching competition? (1 year, 7 months ago)

adw @ #75461: I just can’t believe all the things people say (1 year, 7 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75452: I loved this! (1 year, 7 months ago)

adw @ #75465: Half mark? Sail on (1 year, 7 months ago)

Tom @ #75465: Great board, 'weeknight' is very clever. I'd tend to agree that 'dogs' should be allowed, but I'll take my half point! I'd never heard of three of the sharks, so it was the 'basking' red herring that gave it away (that's not a complaint by the way, if there's something I don't know I assume it's a gap in my knowledge rather than an overly obscure board). (1 year, 7 months ago)

Connect 4 @ #75465: Great job, really liked the DOG group :) (1 year, 7 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75465: Of course if you have only seen the films of HP and not read the books you will be mislead! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75465: The great dane group is fine but wanted a point for dogs (1 year, 7 months ago)

Richard @ #75463: Christmas twice? (1 year, 7 months ago)

TomB @ #75452: @J Thanks for the feedback. I've added 'church'. I wanted to keep the definition fairly narrow because I need to exclude 'monk' and 'friar' from that group. @Sean Well now you have! @Marylin Obviously not everyone is as au fait with the Canterbury Tales as you are. @Hob Thanks. One or two of the Simons might be obscure, but Callow and Baker are both fairly well-known actors, I thought? It's always hard to know what level of knowledge to assume with these. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Richard @ #75465: I think the great dane group is tenuous and not canonical as far as Harry Potter is concerned (1 year, 7 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75461: I knew it was Prince but didn't know enough................. (1 year, 7 months ago)

JAD @ #73152: a little hard, but enjoyable (1 year, 7 months ago)

JAD @ #73152: mediumish hard, but enjoyable (1 year, 7 months ago)

J @ #75452: Your possible answers for the group including pardon is very limited. You may want to expand to church, religious. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Hob @ #75456: If you're going to do a grid like this where we have to deduce the words from a phrase, they need to be a lot less ambiguous. There are dozens of words that can go before "mad" or "bear". It's too indirect to then find the groups on top. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Connect 4 @ #75329: AMAZING (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid @ #48046: V. fair. (1 year, 7 months ago)

gergo @ #75345: gergo (1 year, 7 months ago)

Hob @ #75452: Unfortunately I hadn't heard of most of the Simons so that made that group hard for me to get. But a very nicely constructed grid even so. (1 year, 7 months ago)

jodfu4h @ #75442: thumbsup : ) (1 year, 7 months ago)

UStralian @ #75446: Huh, so it is. Fixed. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sean Spuddihy @ #75452: Never heard of Simon King. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fairy @ #75431: I figured it was some form of cipher but took me 3 minutes to figure which. Managed it in 9 minutes (my 3rd time refreshing). Really interesting and challenging (1 year, 7 months ago)

Marylin @ #75452: Really easy, why is this one marked as hard?? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Alison @ #75446: The singular of Thrip is Thrips 😉 (1 year, 7 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #75345: Excellent grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

Tom @ #75453: Very good grid, but the capital letters on some were a giveaway. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Ellie @ #74252: If only we could like comments :) Agree with so many here. Excellent grid, and while I had one connection, kicked myself for not realising that ward drip fitted! Very clever (1 year, 7 months ago)

Donna @ #38852: Agreed with Tarantino, foiled me until the end - good wall. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Bill Shwarma @ #73861: "I HATE MATH" - richard uyak (1 year, 7 months ago)

Donna @ #75429: Struggled with all the red herrings, but solved it all in the groupings as I knew all of the themes, just couldn't pin them down. Good wall! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Bill Shwarma @ #72561: you suck i hate you. rot in hell cunk (1 year, 7 months ago)

Donna @ #75431: Really good, obviously I failed completely as I didn't find the pattern - would have been nice to have a mix (next time), but I hope I stumble across this in a few months when I've mostly forgotten and can figure it out :) (1 year, 7 months ago)

Donna @ #75432: Good grid! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Donna @ #75436: Nice wall! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Donna @ #75439: Tricky! Good wall, but most were out of my knowledge area. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Donna @ #75440: Challenging wall! I didn't manage to get any from the actual wall but solved most when they were grouped. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Donna @ #75442: Good wall, I got a full score but really enjoyed it overall, some good red herrings that I managed to avoid by pure luck! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid @ #48184: Nice. (1 year, 7 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #75436: Timeout is back ! It reappeared a couple of months ago. How about spiral instead ? (1 year, 7 months ago)

adw @ #75432: Excellent grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

MisterE @ #75431: Thank you Freddgar, glad you enjoyed it. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Freddgar @ #75431: Spotted the plot early on, but could have done with 10 mins, plus pen and paper. Good grid otherwise. Thanks for posting. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mark @ #75429: Strange that magazine didn’t work as an answer!!! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid @ #48248: Very nice. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid @ #48313: Ace. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid @ #48355: Cotoneaster (one t after the o) is not a tree. and not all are evergreen. Who's Morecombe? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #75429: Wouldn't take magazine, could do with altering this (1 year, 7 months ago)

Dahlia @ #75431: I need a clue! Lol (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75418: Very clever, and quite good, except for the band group. The four colours could also be the colours of characters in Cluedo (Doctor Black is the victim, Professor Plum, Colonel Mustard, Reverend Green are player characters), though that still wouldn't eliminate the problem of the being able to swap 'black','green' or 'yellow' with 'red' in the flag group (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid @ #48510: Clever but fair. Thanks. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Gridlington @ #75419: Good grid, but there were only 4 female names and (after getting the pan group) only four male names so those groups were easy. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid @ #48559: Pity that "they all repeat themselves" was deemed wrong. I like that idea though. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Stacks @ #75422: Kings is also a connection for 1 group (1 year, 7 months ago)

StevenEven @ #75412: Is tan really a colour? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Jenni @ #75413: So many red herrings! Very clever. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Vijay B @ #75341: I have to say, I am absolutely in love with this puzzle game! It's like a delicious dish that you can't stop devouring, with every level more satisfying than the last. I can't get enough of it! The puzzles themselves are incredibly clever and well-designed, with just the right balance of challenge and fun. Each one feels like a little victory when I finally crack it, and I love the rush of excitement that comes with moving on to the next level. But what really sets this game apart is the saucy, sassy attitude that pervades every aspect of it. From the snappy dialogue to the quirky characters, everything about it just oozes personality and charm. It's like the game is winking at me with every move I make, encouraging me to keep going with its irresistible charm. Overall, I have to say that this puzzle game is an absolute delight. It's fun, it's clever, and it's got more than a little bit of sass. If you're looking for a great way to pass the time and exercise your brain, look no further than this deliciously saucy puzzle game! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Davey @ #75345: 6/10 but one of the best grids ever (1 year, 7 months ago)

David @ #75419: Hmm one group left me frustrated for the connection (one with Wings) (1 year, 7 months ago)

Tom @ #75418: I don't mind the bands connection but there's more than one correct combination here. You can swap green, yellow or black for (Simply) red. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fistine @ #61394: Excellent, aucune faute d'orthographe. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #75409: @Neil, yes, it can. grounds at low water, rips the hull out, sinks when the tide comes back in. I did get that connection, but only after two red herrings were ruled out by the salad group (and log in the other one too). (1 year, 7 months ago)

Tucker Drew @ #75416: Not sure I agree with your logic on this one. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Andy Talbot @ #75416: A few uncharacteristic lapses in judgement witnessed here. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Hi @ #75419: Excellent mix (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75386: Mal may have a point - although there are several valid uses of run and jump too even if I did have to google them. So, maybe not and maybe not so shouty Mal! The grid still came together easily ! Another fun one👍👍👍👍 (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75394: Sky is not a member of paw patrol - Skye is - the missing e changes the grid. (Also Chrises is the plural of Chris. Chris’ means belonging to Chris ) (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fairy @ #75419: Nice. Enjoyed this one (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fairy @ #75418: Sorry, but they are just colours. If you had made one another word in the band it may have worked. Maybe replace l people with deep then it's the beginning of bands with colours in their names. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75418: They are just colours (although as someone who works with coloured light I’d always say black is not a colour it is an absence of colour) But done like that the rest is not required to complete the grid . If you’d put Card, Deep, Day and Sabbath in the grid instead of the answer, that would have been good although fewer overlaps … (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75417: I seem to be in tune with you today 👍👍👍👍 (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75416: @Lucy - a Blue Pencil is what editors or authors used to use to make corrections or changes to a written piece of work in the days when manuscripts were written on paper Good easy grid to start the day with multiple overlaps and as far as I can see only one truly valid solution (you could swap blood and tape - but only if you were being picky for the sake of it - blue tape does exist of course but is not a common expression ) 👍👍👍👍 (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75409: Can grounding sink a ship? It kind of isn’t sunk by definition. It can certainly wreck a ship though ! Not that I sotted what that group was anyway! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75413: Very clever, but a bit unfair, as there is a Mr Magic character belonging to the Mr Men series, but he doesn't have his own book yet. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fairy @ #75367: I couldn't sort between the North and the South. Like everyone else. I tried to look if only some were countries, but there is a mix of countries, states, counties and continents. All in all not very satisfying as it's a random guess as to which you put in which group with your 3 lives. (1 year, 7 months ago)

PotatoSalad @ #75386: Enjoyed this - seemed completely overwhelming at first but then gradually came together! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid @ #49755: Nice, thanks. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75381: Never heard supe used that way - sounds a bit trans Atlantic to me…. Eng is more a qualification abbreviation in my book too. I got the group simply because they look peculiar and they don’t cross with any other group so they just stood out - which is never as satisfying as working it out! Don’t let me put you off though - I usually like your grids and nobody can be perfect every time! (1 year, 7 months ago)

TPoser @ #75052: I enjoyed that grid, thank you for posting. As Neil pointed out, it was really easy to spot the S group,simply as they all had lower case first letters. It might have been better to make them start with a capital to disguise the link a little. On the other hand, maybe easy was what you were going for, and it was a fun grid nonetheless. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75376: Ireland is specifically Northern or Southern not North and South .. all of the rest of that group can be either North or South. Only one in the other group (Sudan) can’t fit both North and South - so just a permutations game with multiple valid solutions …. Quite a long way short of a cigar for this grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #75373: Very satisfying I went down two blind alleys but I got there in the end (1 year, 7 months ago)

Rob Warrington @ #75367: Those North/South not up to scratch. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Chris Moody @ #75376: Hmmm 3 of the North places are also South, 2 of the South places are also North. This is not the only solution (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75367: The north and south groups have several interchangeable answers, so there are multiple solutions to the grid in addition to the one you've randomly chosen (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75373: Nice & straightforward, thank you (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75361: Nice and easy except for the festivals which I'd never heard of apart from Watercress. (1 year, 7 months ago)

JM @ #75372: Loved it - My era entirely!! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid @ #49859: Nice grid. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Dahlia @ #75364: *Roald (1 year, 7 months ago)

Tom @ #75367: Yorkshire, America and Carolina can all also be South; Dakota and Korea can both also be north. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Lucy @ #75357: I put "films that have been remade" for the dual group.. I feel this is specific enough even though there is a more specialist answer? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Paul Redmond @ #58712: I didn't get it, but hey, that's how it goes sometimes, isn't it @SC? This was one of the better grids for me :-) (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75359: Easy, but fun. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Paul @ #75357: I assume you mean only nominated for Oscars, not winning. Anyhow, it all still works to just connect them as film remakes. (1 year, 7 months ago)

TPoser @ #75009: Great quiz, found the wordplay ones difficult (1 year, 7 months ago)

Guy @ #75337: The jumper synonyms one is a bit difficult as normally there would be a fifth synonym as the answer... not sure what the fifth could be though! Tops? A nice grid otherwise. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Ro @ #75241: Fun grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

irisinstilled @ #66934: This was so clever! It was hard at first but I asked for divine intervention from the creator and I received it, causing me to finish the puzzle in the nick of time (read: after i reloaded the page twice).

Jericho @ #75318: I love your grids, FB. Took me a minute to get Danny Kaye out of my head, who had the same surname as Brooks. It's Kaminsky rather than Kiminsky, not that that took anything away from it. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Nat Atkins @ #13044: Pretty easy - snore fest. Atkins out. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Nat Atkins @ #43502: Nice one. Tricky one on the W though - (1 year, 7 months ago)

Lucy @ #75296: Brill. Only got 5 but still enjoyed it (1 year, 7 months ago)

Lucy @ #75317: I like it! Thanks. Trix has labelled it medium so complaining it's too simple suggests you need skip mediums.. I enjoyed that it had some challenge but not crazy hard (1 year, 7 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #75317: I agree with Tom - really enjoyed this but maybe needed a red herring word or two. Thanks for the game! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Tom @ #75315: Great grid, varied groups and clever red herrings. Maybe expand the range of answers for the Catholic one - it rejected 'clergy', which I would have thought showed I got it? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Tom @ #75317: Cute idea, but very easy once you work out what's going on. Maybe include one or two that could belong in a different groups, like su..er could be either supper or summer? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Bruce @ #75307: Forts and Take That Did not expect the actual answers, about which I knew absolutely nothing. Hard grid. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Marylin @ #75317: I love this sort makes you think, but not too much (1 year, 7 months ago)

Bill Martin @ #75142: Nice bit of fu/brain tease (1 year, 7 months ago)

chanale @ #74890: Hey! I liked this a lot but I would recommend replacing Wall with another avenue- three avenues and one street initially confused me a bit. You could even do Lexington, which has the benefit of also being a major city in Kentucky (though not the capital)! (1 year, 7 months ago)

mal @ #75294: It's ''hijack''. Not a bad grid otherwise (1 year, 7 months ago)

Avenger @ #59487: "X men" for the "X men characters" group not an acceptable answer? Think this grid needs some super powers. (1 year, 7 months ago)

TomB @ #75201: Hm. With hindsight, yes I admit Tex is a stretch. Sorry about that. But as for some of the knowledge being obscure... I didn't have to look up any of that information, and I'm no trivia buff. By all means rate it high for difficulty if you think it's obscure, but describing a wall as 'poor' just because you didn't know something - it feels like you're throwing a tantrum because you got beaten, to be honest.

Sid Kneebridge @ #75245: Super Grid. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Keuna Cho @ #75255: Really liked the Elite Storm category, but I think "Sane" should have been more like "Sen" (1 year, 7 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #75243: Great grid. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Liz @ #75306: Should really count gentlemen as a correct answer as well, since it's "gentlemen of verona" but still, pretty great grid. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Tyler @ #73289: Not a fan of the rhyming words one (1 year, 7 months ago)

StressCook @ #75295: This is a good grid. I approve! I think the Agatha Christie title is Evil Under the Sun rather than Murder Under the Sun, but it doesn't affect the puzzle. (1 year, 7 months ago)

David @ #20712: Creed was the red herring, but it's a synonym for the religion one, so should be accepted. (1 year, 7 months ago)

David @ #20713: Didn't accept tomb, given that was the red herring! (1 year, 7 months ago)

David @ #75252: Two harry potter grids in a medium difficulty, it's a bit obscure. (1 year, 7 months ago)

David @ #75297: I must agree, the names one is weak. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #75281: Got the groups with help from upper lower case. Like the colour set (1 year, 7 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #75271: Nice grid. Had flowers rather than daisies but fair enough (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75260: Quite good fun. Never heard of moneymusk, but knew the other three in that group and the red herring, likewise, didn't remember Mooney, but the other three in that group leapt out at me. The asking group was fairly simple, but the hidden word link escaped me. I noticed the JRs, but gave up on them pretty quickly.Nicely constructed. Thanks (1 year, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #75260: Three extremely obscure, niche groups in one wall is simply ridiculous. I also spent ages looking for the fourth jr. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Pauline @ #75281: Completely fell for the JR link, well done 👍 (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75255: Although often described that way I never think of Romanadvoratrelundar as a companion - more as the doctors guardian sent by Gallifrey to keep the 4th Dr in line in the key to time series. Always like a good DW connection and that one is a good one :) (1 year, 7 months ago)

Noelski @ #75271: Much easier than the other one. Dropped points on the flowers as I wasn't specific enough (1 year, 7 months ago)

Rob @ #75270: Good grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

Joni @ #75254: Miliband? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Rob @ #75271: Nice grid, groups fairly straightforward although had to use Google to get the connection between the Brief Encounter group (1 year, 7 months ago)

passflaps @ #75253: Really good wall, enjoyed it a lot. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid @ #52507: Bed sizes was not accepted but is correct. Not medium but easy. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Dahlia @ #75260: You totally had me on the JR’s… spent ages looking for the 4th! 🤣 (1 year, 7 months ago)

Trix @ #75254: St Peter was a fisherman, St John baptised. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Angus @ #75243: Themed grids often lack the red herrings that make for a good wall, so well done, 6/5 stars for you (1 year, 7 months ago)

rymp @ #75253: Very Good Grid I had 14 secs to spare Brilliant (1 year, 7 months ago)

Tim @ #75254: Wasn't St John the fisherman, not St Peter? (1 year, 7 months ago)

M @ #75201: Two good groups. One obscure. 1one dubious (1 year, 7 months ago)

M @ #75236: Good grid but one group should include picture (1 year, 7 months ago)

M @ #75243: Sneaky alternative groups of three. Led me down the wrong path. Well done you. Great grid. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75243: Looked hard to start with - but it wasn’t so hard in the end - good fun once into the swing 👍👍👍 A minor deduction for including Professor as a profession - it isn’t. It is effectively a rank. (Much as Soldier is a profession but Field Marshal is a rank - a Field Marshal’s profession is still a soldier) (1 year, 7 months ago)

Trix @ #75254: Another good one : ) (1 year, 7 months ago)

Trix @ #75241: Nice TY (1 year, 7 months ago)

TJ @ #75253: Thanks for you comment, Dave! I've added 'spies' in there now. Would you believe I was having a hard time thinking of that word when making this! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75255: Excellent. A very quick one to solve, but I had no idea of the Elite Storm link. I just couldn't see it. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Stacks @ #75243: Incredible (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid @ #75245: A Very Nice Grid Super (1 year, 7 months ago)

DH @ #75243: excellent gitd (1 year, 7 months ago)

TPoser @ #75240: Tough quiz - didn't recognise the fabrics even when the anagrams were revealed! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Dave @ #75253: The answer to vagabond group is could include spies, other than that, great grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

Antny @ #75233: Great grid, thank you (1 year, 7 months ago)

TPoser @ #75237: Red herrings made it really tough, but all the connections were very satisfying. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75243: Great grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

TPoser @ #75245: Nice quiz. Clever connections, managed to get the red connection by fluke just as the words looked similar (all same length) and figured out reason later (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75245: Great! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Eos @ #75241: Very nice! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mister+Tom @ #75245: Thanks for setting. A lot of wordy connections. Try to avoid clues which are obscure words or not words at all: the casta group doesn't obviously interact with the rest of the grid and it does stand out (1 year, 7 months ago)

RBR45 @ #75243: Good grid - enough trickiness to make it interesting (1 year, 7 months ago)

weegieman @ #75241: Sorry, entertaining (1 year, 7 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #75015: Nice grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75216: Very clever (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75219: Good stuff! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75232: Quite good. Pretty easy to solve, even with the mixing of surnames and given names in one group (I know there's no rule, but it feels clunky, and a bit lame - I think , because if three of the four in that group weren't obvious, it could have made it impossible to sort). Kind of fun. Thanks. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75233: Excellent (1 year, 7 months ago)

J @ #75228: Might want to consider including "Narnia" as an acceptable answers. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75205: Funny how different brains work I don’t usually like this type of grid… clues rather than words and only one theme But I clicked with this one quite quickly and some of the clues were rather amusing !! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Anghell @ #75232: @Finn, and? Is this not permitted? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Finn @ #75232: Mixing first and second names? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Avenger @ #59646: A clever and inventive grid. Great subjects and connections. Thank you Usurper (1 year, 7 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #75228: Pretty tough (1 year, 7 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #75229: Hmmm, not sure what to say. I solved it and got confetti, still? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #75211: Good (1 year, 7 months ago)

Lucy @ #74659: Lovely! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Lucy @ #75203: Fabulous. Not too hard, not too easy (as I wasn't sure on some of the numbers so trial and error needed..) (1 year, 7 months ago)

weegieman @ #75204: Smashing red herrings, well done (1 year, 7 months ago)

weegieman @ #75203: Definitely one of the easiest grids I've done but nicely thought out and good fun (1 year, 7 months ago)

weegieman @ #75175: Don't normally like number grids, but this one was entertaining. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Zach @ #75165: I put in "Wetlands" as my response to the red category and it rejected me. I know the message says "don't worry it's not perfect" but given that the word "wetlands" is literally in the correct answer that shows, it should probably be corrected! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Jonathan Saville @ #74242: It's easier when I'm not asleep, and a lot easier than yesterdays (1 year, 7 months ago)

cazza @ #75126: Another great grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

Jericho @ #75162: To me, Williams was the one that made it obvious that Presidents WASN'T the link. Since Sauber were once owned by BMW and were known for a while as BMW Sauber there is a case for saying Formula One teams (past and present) would be a correct answer for that group - and the Red Bull/Williams red herrings pointed that way - but this is a good grid. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Jericho @ #75185: Massively promising clues, massively disappointing links. Any understanding of French was of no use whatsoever. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Des Bloke @ #75188: Excellent !!! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Chris Kirk @ #74242: Loved this. Tough but got there. Keep them coming! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75175: Super grid! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Tom Dygert @ #74959: Good Catagories !!! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Tom Dygert @ #75143: That one was easy, but I did miss the connection of the 4th group. The words spelled Forward and Backward. I'm sure they will get A LOT harder :-) (1 year, 7 months ago)

Brooksy021 @ #75183: Awesome (1 year, 7 months ago)

Keuna Cho @ #75164: Very nice!! The Bot category got me! (1 year, 7 months ago)

h @ #75138: this is actually awful (1 year, 7 months ago)

Brooksy021 @ #75174: Good grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

Brooksy021 @ #75173: Its a fair point. I just felt my grids were a little too UK centred/centered. 😉 (1 year, 7 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #75015: Very creative. Loved this. Thank you. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fairy @ #75145: Well I have just discovered that there is a musical called SIX. I had to Google to even understand what Six songs meant. And I'd forgotten Cams existed. It's rare to solve the grid, but not get half the connections (I just went for the 4 that could be connected to Henry VIII like the others). Perhaps a bit too niche knowledge for me. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Dahlia @ #75173: The spelling group doesn’t really work when you’re from the UK lol… they’re just words spelled correctly with no apparent connection! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Des Bloke @ #75162: @Neil I think it would be incredibly tenuous if there were a group where the link is 'presidents' but three were US Presidents and one was a Federal Reserve President? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Brooksy021 @ #75172: Way over my pay grade. Appreciate the effort and thought that went in. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Jibbs @ #75161: Oooh tricky and fun, thought I had the Derailleur group theme by guessing the meaning based on the others but was totally wrong! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Brooksy021 @ #75127: License is both a noun and a verb in the United States. If you live in any other English-speaking country, you will spell it licence when you use it as a noun and license when you use it as a verb. The film is called Licence to Kill and the word is used as a noun.Im from the UK 😀 (1 year, 7 months ago)

Tom @ #75164: Excellent! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75162: The Williams group are also all presidents - three of the USA and one of the Federal Reserve (in the news a lot lately ) When including a red herring group it’s a good idea to make sure it doesn’t work in the group it is meant to distract from …. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75145: I’ve still no idea what two of these groups are even after the “explanation” (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fairy @ #75136: Nice grid. Identifying 2 members of 1 group I went with the other connection between them. Just to add, your EastEnders connection, in the explanation you just give the names. Your don't say that they are EastEnders family (it marked me correct though. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Clarence Uzumaki @ #75152: Asking for a friend, Is there a sexuality for people who’re only attracted to 2d anime girls with fat tiddies? Ever since I’ve been a young lad, I’ve been revolted by the sight of real-life women, but Japanese cartoon characters have really done the trick for me. Every Friday night since 2009 I’ve dressed up in traditional Japanese clothing and swung around a sword for hours, honing my katana skills - preparing for the day that I move to Japan and become Hokage. Am I alone? If not, what’s it officially called? I thought “hentaisexual” might work but that sounds kinda stupid to me the more I think about it. Also, this was a very bad puzzgrid. Believe it! Clarence Uzumaki, 2023, Location: Unknown ;) (P.S. I am the next Hokage and can be anywhere anytime, and remember: Believe it!) Please respond, I am begging you, I have resorted to puzzgrid as my only form of human interaction. (1 year, 7 months ago)

tiger king @ #75158: I did like the category "best", but you can't have two categories with the same connection. The puzzle requires a unique solution. I also thought some of the phrases were a stretch (less, bad, old, new, relationship). It is good to have new puzzle though. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Enzed @ #75157: 10/10 but it took me some time to get on the right track. Nice grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

film buff @ #75157: That was great fun, I even had to refresh TY (1 year, 7 months ago)

Joe @ #75126: Rolling Stones used to be 5 members? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Cajun @ #75060: echo the other comment.... fetal blood? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Cajun @ #75119: very well done! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #75157: Difficult on a small screen (1 year, 7 months ago)

Trix @ #75126: Thanks Neil , will add those (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75128: Oddly doesn’t seem to accept the “word’ for a prefix connection which is unusual (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75127: 007 has a license to misspell it would seem 😂 Otherwise nice and easy (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75126: Lucky for some is a bingo call for 13 - because in bingo unlike in superstition it actually is lucky for some… But got a terrible score because it wouldn’t take words as correct answers for some reason (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75123: Managed to solve this without a clue on the last two groups - but there were only four names left…. That did the trick ! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Jonathan Saville @ #73974: A good distraction from impending nuclear Armageddon. (1 year, 7 months ago)

The Rock @ #75077: but b you can cry about it (1 year, 7 months ago)

The Rock @ #75077: Thanks for the support Kenny Powers! I considered including the "The" in "The Suburbs" but I wanted to include it as a red herring for the places category. (1 year, 7 months ago)

David @ #75130: Nah. This is supposed to be a medium grid. (1 year, 7 months ago)

gridlington @ #75144: Very good thanks! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid @ #52240: Enjoyed this. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75126: Super grid. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Alison @ #75145: @Dahlia . . . and we fell for the very clever (sneaky) red herring 😀 (1 year, 7 months ago)

Richard @ #75126: Should take answers as words, but another fabulous grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

Rob @ #75144: Very entertaining (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mv @ #75144: Karl, play a record! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #75144: Nice (1 year, 7 months ago)

sparky @ #75144: Loved it !! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Keuna Cho @ #75127: What is "licence"? Do you mean license? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Freddgar @ #73923: Nice one 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 7 months ago)

Dahlia @ #75144: Fun grid! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Dahlia @ #75145: Holbein, wives, head, six could also be Henry VIII (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75145: Great grid - had no idea on the one at all. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Jibbs @ #75138: Nice grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75136: Enjoyed this grid - thank you (1 year, 7 months ago)

Jibbs @ #54971: Very clever! (1 year, 7 months ago)

H @ #73923: Norma? The song is Candle in the wind, or goodbye norma jean! And it's bennie and the jets. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Jibbs @ #75135: Cute, nicely thought out (1 year, 7 months ago)

Brooksy021 @ #75137: Great fun. Marvellous 🤩 (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75127: Great grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

Alison @ #75128: Nice grid! The last group defeated me. Any chance the first group will accept the answer with a single, obvious word? (Trying not to let slip a spoiler, here 🙂 (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75130: Great grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

Rob @ #75130: Great grid, took a bit of thoughts but all the groups can be solved without having to be a film buff (1 year, 7 months ago)

JonBob @ #75119: @Alison I've been looking and can't find what you're referring to. The group ordering is dependent on the solve so I don't know which one you are looking at, but all of the linking terms are singular, so you must have come up with a phrasing I didn't think of. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Georgina @ #75126: Nice! Very smooth. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Brooksy021 @ #75129: Good grid but very tricky. Couple of less well known groups there. Got the bird band and colour band but the other two. Sheesh! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Brooksy021 @ #75130: Fun. Love a film grid. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75122: (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75122: Enjoyed this grid. Great. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fairy @ #75110: How did I not get Richard Osman's HOG I love that programme. Good grid. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Lucy @ #75126: Enjoyed it. Although not heard 13 being lucky for some. Thought that was 7. Thanks (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fairy @ #75106: My Elton John knowledge let's me down (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fairy @ #75104: Seeing those objects. I could not place glucometer, I was trying to think what wake is medical or if the relation is sugar, then so satisfying when I got it. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fairy @ #75100: Clever anagrams. Awarding myself confetti as I feel anagrams of ball shapes should be accepted! So hard to define when all the words are used. Really good one. 😊 (1 year, 7 months ago)

Stephen D @ #75092: What a fantastic grid! Bravo for coming up with it (1 year, 7 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #75122: Fun grid... 👌 (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fairy @ #75089: Failure on the hammer. But I do love some metal in my grids (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fifitrixbel @ #75126: Can't put the correct number in - ie Four only takes 4 (1 year, 7 months ago)

Brooksy021 @ #75125: Edited. Thanks (1 year, 7 months ago)

Brooksy021 @ #75128: Tinker taylor… got me (1 year, 7 months ago)

Jibbs @ #75123: Fun one, thanks! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Jibbs @ #75125: Nice board - should be Dalmatian by the way, just threw me a bit cause I thought it was intentionally different and I was on the wrong track (1 year, 7 months ago)

Brooksy021 @ #75126: Enjoyed (1 year, 7 months ago)

TR6 @ #75126: Got your number 😜 (1 year, 7 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #75122: Bl..dy g..d (1 year, 7 months ago)

Jonathan @ #75125: Brittany is a type of dog, and Michael Bay is a famous movie director. Good board. (1 year, 7 months ago)

b @ #75125: A Brittany dog? You're kidding, right? And who or what is Michael Bay? Sorry, poor, in my opinion. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Brooksy021 @ #75115: Smashing 👏 (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fairy @ #75080: I feel I did well to get one of them. The girls names was a bit tenuous. But otherwise very good. I didn't notice the equator. But did enjoy hunting down islands and countries where the name of the capital is based on the country name to no avail. Very very hard. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Alison @ #75119: Please allow an answer in singular form (third group). Nice grid thanks. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75121: Nice and simple. Thanks. (1 year, 7 months ago)

AmandaT @ #75120: Enjoyed, thanks! (1 year, 7 months ago)

AmandaT @ #75122: Enjoyed, thanks :o) (1 year, 7 months ago)

sparky @ #75122: Very nice - good grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

RyanS @ #75092: I suffered with this one but learned a lot - the White Stripes threw me because I assumed it was in the 7 (nation army) group!! Great red herring (1 year, 7 months ago)

Rob @ #75120: Great grid, very logical, good groups to work out (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75098: 👍🏻 (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75120: Excellent! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75120: 👍👍👍 (1 year, 7 months ago)

Jeannie @ #75098: Good grid generally, but a dray is a cart for beer- you need to change the spelling to drey for a squirrel' s home (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75115: Why was this pre rated as medium ? Definitely fiendish ! And whilst it’s a great film I think the PSH inclusion in that group is stretching a point beyond fiendish! (1 year, 7 months ago)

adw @ #75119: Great grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

Freddgar @ #75120: Nice and easy straightforward grid Lots of alternatives for the Oak line 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 7 months ago)

Hamburger @ #75015: This is good. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Hamburger @ #75121: Cheers LQ (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid @ #52418: Nice change from some of the usual topics. (1 year, 7 months ago)

film buff @ #75115: Only managed one group - shameful. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Georgina @ #74426: Fun idea, but an Australian 10-cent piece has never been called a dime. (1 year, 7 months ago)

LIAM NYBERG @ #75096: i have selected the rabbit (1 year, 7 months ago)

Moondog @ #75104: It took a long time to get comet. Mea culpa. Once that fell into place, it all made sense. Much appreciation for a grid that beat me in the time given. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Moondog @ #75113: Nasty! It conforms to the rules of the game and is internally consistent, but, there is a vanishingly small chance of scoring full points because of one group. I applaud the OG for such a clever grid, but desire to punish the OG for fooling me into failing to score full points. You deserve to suffer for suckering me! May you live in interesting times you con artist! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid @ #52533: Good one. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75081: @David Peppa being spelled Pepper was the clue that meant I didn't bother trying to fit it into the pig group, and was the complete giveaway for the group it actually fitted in. I always look for misspellings, as they're often there to make a hidden word fit. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75061: @Hannah, to be fair, the word is actually 'pentathlon', and 'pentathalon' is a typo -I often mistype when I'm entering answers and only notice when I don't get a point too. @J & Dr Know - I thought that botch was a bit dodgy too, as its original meaning of 'repair' is now pretty archaic/obsolete, but I'd seen it used as that somewhere, so funnily enough that was the first group I solved. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75104: As Bruce might’ve said —— Good Grid - Good Grid ! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75093: Red / read does work - but as all the rest are colours it feels like an imperfection that wasn’t necessary - still a four star grid though 👍 I’m not actually sure that “can be read” or “are read” are actually past tense though 😉 (1 year, 7 months ago)

Movie Buff @ #75115: *serious buffs only (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75092: Different - and therefore very enjoyable Was fooled briefly into looking for sisters (Orions belt is also known as the three sisters) - but blind alleys are part of the best grid This one had that extra undefined something :) (1 year, 7 months ago)

Jo @ #75101: Did not enjoy this one (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75091: Nice 😀 (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75089: Any grid with a Slayer song in it has to be applauded !! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #75109: It's Andy Capp... Other than that very well constructed, very nicely done. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Brooksy021 @ #75093: Things that are red or read syd🙂 (1 year, 7 months ago)

b @ #75073: Fine. 10/10 for me, so decent mark for you. (1 year, 7 months ago)

b @ #75077: Why would anyone know those albums? And the pronouns are messy because you've mixed subjects and objects. Not a great grid, not at all. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75100: Very well constructed. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75093: Fun grid, but two different answers (red/read) just does not work. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75104: Thank you for feedback. I have updated (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75104: Good Grid, but I echo Kristen's point. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Kristin @ #75104: Very nice, but for the honeymoon group, I struggled to come up with the right wording for the group. Could you expand your answer to include astronomical objects? Thanks for the grid! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75093: Great grid. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75105: Excellent grid - completely beat me! (1 year, 7 months ago)

David Rees @ #75092: Fantastic grid! (1 year, 7 months ago)

lindsey @ #75092: Fun grid and I learned some things (1 year, 7 months ago)

lindsey @ #75015: Very good! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Freddgar @ #75104: Very good grid, nice red herrings You win by lots Thanks for posting (1 year, 7 months ago)

weegieman @ #75085: The cold link seems way too tenuous. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75091: Amended thank you. (1 year, 7 months ago)

aldano @ #72748: this is super easy (1 year, 7 months ago)

ayem @ #75015: so much fun! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Georgina @ #75015: Nice one! (1 year, 7 months ago)

AmandaT @ #75100: Good variety and clever anagrams, thank you! :o) (1 year, 7 months ago)

johndoe @ #75101: what an excellent grid, would play again!! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Penguin @ #74947: Very enjoyable. Loved the theme. Thank you. (1 year, 7 months ago)

St John @ #75085: Got it, the message that is. Got four points here but deducted one because VCM would have wanted more info. Gracia's amiga (1 year, 7 months ago)

Superdolly @ #74947: Love a thread running through (1 year, 7 months ago)

POOKMAN6+ @ #75092: My attempts at this fell into the Fates category... Great grid, thank you! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Paul Redmond @ #60132: :-( ............ :-) Naughty CTG (1 year, 7 months ago)

Frank @ #75057: The fourth one is "odds", although it is "beat the odds", an additional helper word (1 year, 7 months ago)

Paul Redmond @ #75093: Nearly (Arctic) foxed me with Read/Red :-) (1 year, 7 months ago)

Richard @ #75093: Decent! Love the overall theme, and red/read was genius! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Kitty @ #75094: Good one, TY. It was the anagrams that thwarted me. (1 year, 7 months ago)

jodfu4h @ #75071: wednes was my fathers name (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid @ #52621: Nice. The last line made me smile. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Dahlia @ #75093: Nice grid! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75047: Someone tell me why is Rachel green? Sorry to be dim. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75049: Short boys names is not really good enough! Also distance group didn't accept measurements. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75079: a rainbow of delights (1 year, 7 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75093: Red/read I got first why don't you like it George! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75082: Niiiice (1 year, 7 months ago)

George @ #75093: Good apart from the red/read (1 year, 7 months ago)

sparky @ #75092: Very nice !! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #75015: I enjoyed that. Thank you. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Jo @ #74779: Thanks Cam pretty pleased with this one (1 year, 7 months ago)

Brooksy021@ @ #75089: Thanks. Have added the e (1 year, 7 months ago)

Kristin @ #75057: Enjoyable! (1 year, 7 months ago)

PotatoSalad @ #75089: Good groups, enjoyed it! Please double check your spelling and grammar in future :) Should be Annie Wilkes with an E in it, Jellyfish is one word, Flowers, America and all of the songs should be properly capitalised (no reason not to just capitalise the first letter of every word in the grid) Spider-Man is always hyphenated (1 year, 7 months ago)

Brooksy021@ @ #75089: Thanks. That’s because they’re not poisonous (1 year, 7 months ago)

brooksy021 @ #75091: When typing north south east or west or all it doesnt accept as answer. Good grid though (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75089: I enjoyed the grid and it was very well thought out. It would be good if some more words were added for descriptions as it did not accept poisonous for the venomous creatures. (1 year, 7 months ago)

JEREMY @ #73853: Although orchestra is a nice anagram the group doesn't work having the animal (horse) and subspecies (carthorse) and then lamb, which is the meat or young, not the animal (1 year, 7 months ago)

Hannah @ #75061: I wrote "pentathalon" for the first group and didn't get a point :( (1 year, 7 months ago)

Paul Redmond @ #74909: Nice one:-), took me a while but got it before time ran out (1 year, 7 months ago)

M @ #75090: Likewise think so. The setters name should indicate the niche (1 year, 7 months ago)

Hob @ #75090: Far too specialised to be suitable on here. One group with gaming connections is fine, but this is just a grid for gamers. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75085: Tough but clever. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75082: Straightforward , but fun. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Rob @ #75073: Great grid, completely defeated me, so many potential crossovers (1 year, 7 months ago)

J @ #75061: I agree, I don't think botch belongs in that group. Also, you might want to expand the acceptable answers to the fence group to include Summer Olympics Games. (I believe all 4 are Summer events.) (1 year, 7 months ago)

A @ #75059: Good one! Pronunciation-wise, cretin can be cree-tin or creh-tin so it works but may be tough for universal use. As pointed out, it isn't a nationality but it is a demonym. Think the use of wishing is tough as it is not as common a usage as falling. Overall, though, this was a fun one (1 year, 7 months ago)

Alison @ #54176: Did you have a red herring in mind ford the Blackbird group? Blackbirds are thrushes. Fun grid though, despite the niggles. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Alison @ #54176: Did you have the red herring in your head? Blackbird is a thrush. Fun grid, despite the flaws. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid @ #52925: Fun grid. Don't know anything about chess but it was an inspired guess. Thx. (1 year, 7 months ago)

benj @ #75081: David is right, tho. Peppa is Peppa. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Enzed @ #75081: Decent fun grid And David is obviously very protective to Peppa Pig. Clearly a big big fan (1 year, 7 months ago)

Omegaman+ @ #75048: Please include “Twelve” as well as 12 (1 year, 7 months ago)

Trix @ #75085: Stj, left you a message. (1 year, 7 months ago)

film buff @ #75012: Stj, pretty sure I found you-left a message. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Kenny Powers @ #75077: I smell what you're cooking! By the way, it's "The Suburbs". (1 year, 7 months ago)

David @ #75081: It's Peppa Pig. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Kenny Powers @ #75078: Yes (1 year, 7 months ago)

Kenny Powers @ #75082: Nice easy grid before sleepy time. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Antny @ #75075: Great grid, thank you (1 year, 7 months ago)

Aitch @ #75035: Typefaces would've been a good option. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Rob @ #75082: Clever grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

Btb16 @ #75082: Good grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

Jenni @ #75078: Interesting connections thanks (1 year, 7 months ago)

Marylin @ #75066: Good grid - Jennifer Juniper was by Donovan, that's what gave it away to me, almost went for Rita (Coolidge) (1 year, 7 months ago)

nitpicker @ #75075: (1 year, 7 months ago)

Liz @ #74890: Great grid and somehow got it rather fast (as a non-American), inspite of all the overlap :D (1 year, 7 months ago)

Liz @ #74870: No clue who Beano is, so didnt get that group, but great grid nonetheless (1 year, 7 months ago)

Liz @ #75075: Great grid! (1 year, 7 months ago)

weegieman @ #75068: I found the Hitchcock one too vague. Much is, for me, too far out there. Such a common word has a million connotations. (1 year, 7 months ago)

RBR45 @ #75075: Good grid - quite tricky (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mr. Ruth @ #74539: steve jobs is a dummy. i think? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mr. Ruth @ #75018: i sure do love pixar! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mister+Tom @ #75049: Thanks for setting. Pretty good (but very easy)- apart from the Reg group, you really want to try to find a better connection than just "names", even if you don't insist on it for the answer. Usually this means they're characters in a story or a show of some kind. Or... you replaces Reg with Sam then you get "names that make a word if you add E'. Still a bit weird but slightly more satisfying. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mister+Tom @ #74177: Marvellous (1 year, 7 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #27724: Good fun (1 year, 7 months ago)

jodfu4h @ #67330: needs to accept golf (1 year, 7 months ago)

jodfu4h @ #57281: coffee (1 year, 7 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #75073: I did try a w group and an s group set splash but a nice grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #75059: Had all the categories just couldn't get them sorted out in time (1 year, 7 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #75074: Nice grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

jodfu4h @ #75077: good stuff 5 stars (1 year, 7 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #75060: Fetal blood is a new one on me. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #75075: Great grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

Hamburger @ #75035: Nice. (1 year, 7 months ago)

AB @ #75076: Very Pokémon specific! I don't think this is for a general audience (1 year, 7 months ago)

Trillium @ #75075: Excellent! (1 year, 7 months ago)

weegieman @ #75066: Found both the Jennifer and speak groups slightly wobbly (1 year, 7 months ago)

lindsey @ #75035: Finally a LittleQuill grid I can complete! Good stuff. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Hob @ #75035: Great grid - only complaint was that putting "cities" in the fictional cities group was marked wrong! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Finn @ #75073: Nice grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

Hob @ #75073: Very nice grid. Did you intend the false group "Add a W to make a word"? Wheat, Wash, Wet, Wrench (1 year, 7 months ago)

Finn @ #75075: Thank you....enjoyed this (1 year, 7 months ago)

Dr Know @ #75061: Doesn't botch mean to ruin or mess up? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Golfer119 @ #75049: Soooo... not hidden measurements then? I also forgot it was spelt Synonynonyms. My bad. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75066: On a note which doesn’t affect the grid and is just a point of interest - the fifth J is a Hollies song isn’t it? She is also mentioned in Scaffold’s Lilly the Pink. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75059: Not sure about wishing star … might be a thing I suppose … But Cretan? I guess in some heavy American drawl cretin might be pronounced cretan- but it’s tenuous and in any case it’s not a nationality. Crete is part of Greece. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Rob @ #75066: I had doubts about rejoin too but just googled it and 123 is correct, it can mean to reply quickly, rather like retort. Good grid - the Jennifer group defeated me (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75066: Declaim and rejoinder maybe - otherwise that’s a rather shaky group I did enjoy this grid otherwise - especially had me for a few seconds on juniper …. But still got there quite quickly. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Dense Alien @ #75066: I didn't get claim and rejoin being synonyms for speak (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75061: Nice satisfying fairly easy grid - a good one this 👍👍👍 (1 year, 7 months ago)

anisa @ #75035: 7/10- i did not know any of the fictional cities unfortunately! otherwise, it was enjoyable. Have always loved Little Quill's puzzles :) (1 year, 7 months ago)

James @ #75059: Cretin and Cretan are pronounced differently, plus Cretan isn't a nationality. Maybe replace with Fin? (1 year, 7 months ago)

film buff @ #75012: o dear, stop giving out your details on line! I am feeling guilty! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #75012: Tried FB puzz grid no go. Try FB Paul wood, Scarborough, Travelodge (1 year, 7 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #75012: p40l0abres@gmail.com Sml (p), 4, 0,(numeric), l (sml "l" (el), 0 (zero numeric)abres etc. Try again 😉 (1 year, 7 months ago)

film buff @ #75012: If not, no problem, I can sort everything out - part of the adventure! (1 year, 7 months ago)

film buff @ #75012: Not working? Just as well, so sorry you put your details here. Maybe check the PG fb page and I will put a like on a grid and you could message that way (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75052: Maybe lose the capital T from Tone so it fits the S group as an overlap… As it’s written with spurious capitalisation elsewhere and few red herrings - it made for a very easy grid - pretty decent but not quite as good as it maybe should have been. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75049: Is the number of exclamation marks a clue to the order you wrote the groups in ? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Liz @ #74982: Kinda salty that I didnt get it cause I said cities instead of capitals but alright, I still got all the groups at least. Nice grid! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75048: Needs a few more exclamation marks in the explanations wouldn’t you say !? 😂😂 (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75047: Very easy - but fun and a classic format with neat overlaps 👍 (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75043: Good classic grid :) Not quite the correct definition of a Virga (yours is one example - but Virgo is any precipitation which sublimes or evaporates before hitting the ground ). Makes no odds though - I’m just not picking ! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Liz @ #75035: Great red herrings as always! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75037: Couple of typos that led to wild goos chases - this is a much better grid that they reduce it too (1 year, 7 months ago)

St John @ #75012: I await. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #75038: It would seem (at least to me) that "blame it on" was a theme, which is ok as a red herring line but erm the rest let it down. Sorry if I have mis read your intentions, thanks anyway. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75022: I’m surprised to see this grid rated with only three stars and as hard It took me under 90 seconds and I got all the connections (awarding myself the bird sounds) - that’s my criteria for one star difficulty - ie very easy It had a number of valid overlaps but only one valid solution - nothing contrived and nothing hugely niche - so minimum 4 stars from me ( 5 stars needs an undefined something extra - this would have been 9/10 if that was an option ) This was a classic good grid with all the right elements - very enjoyable and well constructed (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #75022: I think it needs to accept bird sounds really Otherwise a nice easy one to start the day :) (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fairy @ #75013: Agree with Hob. Ending in oz, gr, fine. But ending in "t" for ton? Sorry, but it's on if those answers which isn't very satisfying. You could have had lb, mg, kg, ng? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fairy @ #74972: Nice one. Had me circling around presenters forever (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fairy @ #74970: I feel the magnetic group could be defined in other ways. I thought I was being specific saying they are all metallic elements. I feel VCM would give me that, so I'm taking the point. 😊 Was caught out by the E group saw Explorer and Edge and jumped straight to browsers. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fairy @ #74967: I'm assuming the aim is to sort them by Bond actor, however your solution doesn't actually clarify which Bond relates to which set of 4 acronyms. It just says which 4 films they are. For those of us who aren't automatic in recognising these things it may be worth clarifying. Otherwise interesting idea, took me a while to figure out. I'm not very well versed with Bond though, so not the best wall for me. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Rossmondo @ #74909: Nice one! (1 year, 7 months ago)

christo @ #74947: Loved it. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Skerm @ #74907: Mistype with Whey, corrected! With regards to paws, as Neil said, that's the abridged dictionary defintion (sans pads). Accent-wise, it works for the majority of the spread of the UK, hence its inclusion. Mal, I don't believe I put a hat category in this one? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #74942: A nice easy grid to start the day 😀 👍👍👍 (1 year, 7 months ago)

b @ #73664: Excellent theme. Enjoyed it. 10/10 for both of us. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Tim Symes @ #74929: Think you need another word instead of Operation. Vet would fit. Otherwise nice straight forward grid. TY Though the only Pandemic I know of, is the one we've just been through. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Don @ #74318: I thought the St group was the most obvious one, and Jesse Armstrong is one of the best known comedy writers in the UK. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #74931: Fun (1 year, 7 months ago)

mal @ #74907: The 'paws' doesn't work in most accents, and 'clawed animal feet' is dubious. Good fun grid otherwise though. Change hat category and it will be excellent (1 year, 7 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74934: In Yorkshire it ain't " a bracing wind" it's a lazy wind. It can't be bothered to go around you, it goes straight through you. Nevertheless as the wise people say, "there's no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothing. Embrace it all, 😀 (1 year, 7 months ago)

Alison @ #74909: Good start. Keep ‘em coming. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74900: Surely the red herring was Bronze - Brass is in the group … Satisfying easy grid :) (1 year, 8 months ago)

weegieman @ #74896: Too niche for me. Not sure if The Life of Brian is best characterized as a mistaken identity movie. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jibbs @ #74907: I struggled with the paws/pours homonym as I pronounce those vowels pretty differently in my accent. Fun one though! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Penguin @ #74812: Enjoyed it.@#fairy. I see what you mean about my recent grid. You were first with the groups 🙂 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Penguin @ #74902: @fairy🙂I genuinely didn’t know that. I hadn’t done your grid when I drew up mine. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #37246: The pictures have disappeared (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74902: I did a similar one earlier in the week. Same red herring group. 😊 Also used dances and drinks. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jibbs @ #74901: This was a really fun one, well done (1 year, 8 months ago)

Hippopotamu @ #74887: Should we allow songs for that? Makes it a bit easy (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74888: A nice easy one for me - but then I like a good Styx song and a decent SciFi film 😀 👍👍👍👍 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74890: As a Brit I was pleased to spot what every connection was long before my time was up But also as a Brit I didn’t know quite enough to get the overlaps eliminated in the three minutes A good grid though and very pleasing to have a US grid that didn’t contain obscure NFL teams and characters from sitcoms that don’t air over here 👍👍👍👍 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74887: Great grid. Thank you (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74883: I enjoyed this one thank you. Perhaps a few more words in the expansions might help too. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74897: Great grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

Juls @ #74897: Good brain stretch for my morning - thank you! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Andy @ #74873: Caught and court are only homophones in posh parts of the UK where they don't pronounce their R's, but then add them in where there aren't any. Nice grid though (1 year, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #74890: Very good, lots of opportunities to get it wrong 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mss Ng Vwls @ #74636: Nicely constructed, enjoyed that. Shame I don't have the foggiest about cricket =[ (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #72169: Stared and stared. All the herrings, cul-de-sacs and dead ends. Good job Nighteyes did not see this Ken Hom - age to the homowotsits LOL! Might argue semantics with benign tho. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Tim @ #55697: Might be I did it on a phone but when I typed the answers in one letter two of them weren’t recognised… (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74882: Good on the whole, but agree, the Scar group. I got that they were all words but spent ages trying to figure out what the connection was between the new words. Also, arguably Spot could swap with scar as both make new words and the bottom group could be a blemish which a scar would fit into. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Richard @ #74870: Nice grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #55221: Perhaps "glasses" should be an accepted answer - "drinks vessels" is an unusual term. Otheriwise, enjoyable and easy. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mark @ #74873: They clearly are homophones in the UK where the puzzle setter is from (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #55244: An arbitrary list of novels - why? The jukebox was invented before that. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #74873: Not bad, but court and caught are clearly not homophones. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74875: Only heard of one of the choccys chocky's or is it chockie's)? Frustration with the red herrings. Just as it should be. Ta! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Dal @ #74870: A Nice Easy one, Very Good (1 year, 8 months ago)

gergo @ #74870: gergo (1 year, 8 months ago)

Juan Foyth @ #74875: Nice grid. Never getting those choccys in a million years, they didn’t have them in La Plata, Argentina (where I grew up). Enjoyed the rest 🤓 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #70992: Bearing in mind that a beret is worn by schoolgirls, Frenchmen and other non-military people, "military headwear" is not the best descritpion of that line. Interesting categories, enjoyed. (1 year, 8 months ago)

count+snackula @ #74870: well done to Flan (1 year, 8 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #74853: Thank you - failed the racing link. Were the apostrophes just to confuse us?! (1 year, 8 months ago)

David @ #74763: My only complaint was I didn't solve them in the correct order !! (1 year, 8 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #74865: Agree completely with Neil - I had same problems and you were indeed kindly to allow just poets so a big thank you! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #74802: Well put together grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74865: Struggled on the Saxon set - now had that been Harriet Jones It would have been a different story! You were too kind on the poets - it gave the point just for “poets” and it shouldn’t really… Great grid :) (1 year, 8 months ago)

Kristin @ #74863: Fun grid. Thx! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #55547: I don't know anything about muppets, but I thought it was ingenious - thanks. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #55645: I wonder if everyone recognised what BOT meant in this context? Clearer if full words were used I think. (1 year, 8 months ago)

123 @ #74853: Yes Neil lol. W K that foxed me too because I kept thinking "what is his trick with those apostrophes"? Still got it though, the race was by elimination only. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74853: (See what I did there?) (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74853: Only one should have an apostrophe - Lampoon’s - nothing belongs to parody, caricature or mock - so they should not and for some reason ridicules lacks the spurious inappropriate apostrophe of the rest of the group. Let’s a good grid down unfortunately. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74852: SpherE. tablE. steEr Easter - all four are words missing the letter E as well as being oids…. Oops! (1 year, 8 months ago)

David Rees @ #74847: That is a fantastic grid. Only Connect should use it for the semi-final stage. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Delboy @ #73845: A rare 10! But only if I'd spelt the Rod group correctly. So a mere 7. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Delboy @ #74248: The one with Indigo in feels pretty tough to guess. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Delboy @ #74847: 7... but an enjoyable grid. Dunno even what the Matrix group is... even now i know the answer. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Liz @ #74840: If you're using tenticle, you really should also have colors as a correct answer... (1 year, 8 months ago)

gridlington @ #74847: Excellent grid - though the names lines is a bit tenuous, and the array line is very niche. Loved the format though! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Keuna Cho @ #74840: What is "tenticle"? Do you mean tentacle? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #74847: Excellent, original and well constructed, must have taken a while. Didn't have a clue on the Index row. You win by lots. Thanks for posting. (1 year, 8 months ago)

ajax @ #74847: really enjoyed this grid! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Hob @ #74847: This is excellent and unique. My only quibble is with Phalanx which is really obscure (I'm relatively specialised in the field and even I don't know what you're referring to!) (1 year, 8 months ago)

ajax @ #74842: you're right I think tritone was a bit too difficult - replaced :) (1 year, 8 months ago)

Juan Foyth @ #74842: Tritone got me there, not familiar with that. Argentine footballers of Polish descent could be a good group for your next grid 😀 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Hob @ #74844: Fun! Mostly easy to spot the groups but I missed one I should have seen! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Juan Foyth @ #74843: Somehow managed a 7. Unused substitutes in the 2022 World Cup final would be a good group for your next grid 😃 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Hob @ #74846: I'm not keen on having two different container groups in the same board - especially when one includes an item as obscure as "boomer"! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Superdolly @ #74763: I agree Sow (female pig) is not pronounced so! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mark @ #74846: Pretty good, though Huntingdonshire is no longer a county (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74846: Nice. Fairly simple if bit weren't for all the red herrings for one particular group. (1 year, 8 months ago)

gergo @ #74763: gergo (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74828: Very clever. I'm awarding myself chemical elements as I feel I should be lenient based on how changing it was! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jason S @ #74840: Easy but fun and well put together! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Frankie @ #74833: Easy, but would not accept palindrome (1 year, 8 months ago)

Frankie @ #74840: Loved this one (1 year, 8 months ago)

Alison @ #58393: Picked up the theme easily enough, fitting the options into each group was tricky. Unknown phrases are pretty much readily found via a search engine, including Jolly Jumper and Merry Andrew. Now I know what a Jolly Jumper is, I’ll probably never forget that one. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Tim @ #34832: nice, fun, accessible. thanks! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Tim @ #74839: I mean damn, there's some niche in here my friend! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Alison @ #74833: As above, but also denied correct answers as you’d offered rather strict definitions. PS, palindromes are much easier to spot in upper case 🙂 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74830: Oh so many (1 year, 8 months ago)

Rob Warrington @ #74815: Straightforward. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74833: Mostly a nice easy grid WHY SO SHOUTY? though? I really wish someone would do a palindrome round without racecar which isn’t actually a word and which is a total giveaway that there is a palindrome group … (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #55975: Very nice. Cheers. (1 year, 8 months ago)

me123 @ #74832: I very much enjoyed this grid. For the group ending in “-eering”, the puzzle should also accept that they end in “-eer”, as these are also valid words. (1 year, 8 months ago)

StevenEven @ #74833: Pallindrome... A little spell check never hurt anyone. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #56010: As above re palindrome. Shame really. (1 year, 8 months ago)

M.mouse @ #74833: Did not accept palindromes - you have spelled it incorrectly with double ll (1 year, 8 months ago)

123 @ #74830: Shall do! So excited to finally see those historic places, any pub recommendations? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Alison @ #58411: I don’t think Halloween fits your description (1 year, 8 months ago)

PJ @ #74805: I was actually listening to George Michael while playing this grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74829: DOH! on truth re -exmined. Well hidden If you wish, edit your answer for hers? TY (1 year, 8 months ago)

Lizzie @ #74630: Really enjoyed this one! (1 year, 8 months ago)

benj @ #74819: A bit? Ridiculously so, I'd say. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74825: Very good indeed TY (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74815: Good one! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74812: I liked it. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74830: 😆👋 If you see a mature (ahem!) bloke near Chatsworth walking with a Yorkshire accent, say hello. P.S the Wye did for me. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Lizzie @ #74769: Didn’t seem to accept palindrome (1 year, 8 months ago)

Lizzie @ #74780: Integrate is spelled wrong :) (1 year, 8 months ago)

no @ #74804: bad (1 year, 8 months ago)

dday @ #74815: challenging but clever. Managed to get 7 points! (1 year, 8 months ago)

no @ #74812: bad (1 year, 8 months ago)

no @ #74815: bad (1 year, 8 months ago)

Alison @ #74830: Nice! (1 year, 8 months ago)

benj @ #74824: Indeed, the Boris group is an anagram of kwan. (1 year, 8 months ago)

gaffer gibson @ #74802: They are in fact all places in Somerset. Poole is a hamlet near Wellington (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74828: Not my kind of grid, but very clever. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74800: It would be a fairly good wall, but Whispered doesn't work for that group. The chocolate bar is a Wispa. (1 year, 8 months ago)

The Nut Dog @ #74800: Wispa it quietly, but this was a fantastic puzzgrid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

The Nut Dog @ #74644: Please select the rabbit. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Alex @ #74828: Loved it! (1 year, 8 months ago)

The Nut Dog @ #74815: The Nutty approves of this resplendent quiz, Jib dog. (1 year, 8 months ago)

The Nut Dog @ #74824: The Boris group is wank. (1 year, 8 months ago)

H @ #74805: It was Tristan, not Tristran in Stardust. (1 year, 8 months ago)

123 @ #74813: Wye Knott but as you know, not too early for me! However I will be popping over soon, so I will be be doing these on your time-might even use some more local references lol (1 year, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #74822: A breakwater can be called a breakwall but that is pretty obscure. I would think most people have never heard of it. Dry would have been better, or Corn, or even Rose (as in Ken - tennis player). (1 year, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #74824: I agree, the logic of the Boris group just does not work. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Penguin @ #74822: #fairy thank you for picking this up. Duly amended. (1 year, 8 months ago)

H @ #73556: Can be succeeded by cake, not preceded! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74813: A little hard for me this time of the morning. Only got one line though I surmised two of the other ones. Was deffo not going to fall for the red herrings. TY (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74807: I made hard work with that one. 7 secs left, but 🎊 TY (1 year, 8 months ago)

StressCook @ #74824: The Boris group really makes no sense. It is far too tenuous for someone to solve. Other groups are certainly fair. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74822: Just need to change gad in your solution to break. I have heart of break wall. It's like a sea wall, a protective wall. I think. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74822: Very clever. Never heard of 'break...' though. (1 year, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #74807: I liked this grid even though I only just made it with sorting the groups and did not get the "round" connection. Good fun (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74819: Very clever. Wood was a bit obscure though. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74824: Nice grid, one and a half groups were a bit obscure though. Enjoyed the Boris group. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Penguin @ #74822: Thank you. Grid amended. (1 year, 8 months ago)

David @ #74822: The stone/gad etc can also be flies. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74802: Nice grid. Pretty straightforward once I'd sorted the Swede group. Saw three of the four links pretty quickly, but didn't spot the You group until I'd solved the wall. Good fun, thanks. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #56214: Very slick, thank you. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #74813: I Think you mean Gent Still Good (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74812: Changed. 😊 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Juan Foyth @ #74807: I concur with Malcontente (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74807: Nice and straightforward,with one or two different possibilities to keep it interesting. Good fun, quick solve. Thank you. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Juan Foyth @ #74813: Excelente griddo 👌 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74812: Please correct Mamba to Mambo. Mamba is snake, not a dance. Apart from that, very clever, but fairly straightforward and fun. Thanks. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74806: Nice ideas, but there are at least solutions five equally valid solutions to the grid,as James, Michael, Christopher and Kathryn can all swap with Jean-Luc. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74805: Very clever, but the name is Tristan, not Tristran - please correct the grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74810: Impossible - to do in the time - just too many red herrings. Spotted three of the links, and guessed the fourth (obscure) one after the grid resolved but couldn't sort a single one. Seems to work properly as a wall though. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #56296: Nice. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74812: Latin dances even (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74812: (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74812: Just to say I've edited as I realised that one of my passion dances was an anagram for the former name of a country and that was a bit misleading. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74809: I loved the beginning but the last group doesn't really work. Folio doesn't contain foal is contains a homophone for foal and same for lamentation. If you find some different words for that it would be great. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74808: I didn't quite understand the potato to chip one. I got Fri = Fried Digest but what was Tue? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74756: Malcontent that cracked me up. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74759: Great grid. I just couldn't pull out all the peace signs and flag symbols although I knew they were there. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Baron @ #74788: In the connection for places named after people George Vancouver appeared as an answer although it is not in the grid! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Penguin @ #74747: Thank you for your comments and suggestion. Much appreciated. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fay Swash @ #74800: Apologies for spelling error! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Montreal Concordia College Travel @ #71069: 2ez (1 year, 8 months ago)

Scott Newman @ #74524: bad (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #56435: I don't know what sidhe is a homophone of. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #56484: Interesting grid, worth doing definitiely. I don't get the "cook veg..." or "11th letter" ones. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jo @ #74786: Clever grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

benj @ #74800: Wispa. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74786: Great grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

Juan Foyth @ #55883: Juan eats these sorts of grids for breakfast (1 year, 8 months ago)

Avenger @ #60284: Ok...but... Tintin did not work as an answer, and mantel should be replaced with mantle to be correct as a connection. (1 year, 8 months ago)

AmandaT @ #74781: Bonkers! (1 year, 8 months ago)

David @ #74709: Religious ranks not accepted, need to be more open with the answers. Also, X men not accepted as an answer. (1 year, 8 months ago)

David @ #74730: Side job? (1 year, 8 months ago)

David @ #74770: Dogs? Nah (1 year, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #74786: Another very good grid, as always Kicked myself for missing the Peruse row. You win 10-7 Thanks for posting (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74786: Arnott's biscuits from French town (1 year, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #74793: As per Puddles, every answer is given as incorrect... Tried it twice, second time after I'd seen the answers and entered them... Same result, maybe check... (1 year, 8 months ago)

Puddles @ #74793: I like the idea for this grid but there are some problems with the way the answers are accepted (or not) and the explanations. For the fish set, "end in fish" was not accepted; for the butler set, "butlers" was not accepted even though that is *exactly* what the answer gave as the connection! The anagrams should also be explained. Nice work on the grid, though. Thanks! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Thad Ford @ #73496: Fasteners or fixings would be a good option for that group (1 year, 8 months ago)

Hi @ #74793: This is the same as #74792 (1 year, 8 months ago)

sdg83 @ #74791: Some nice groups but as well as Victoria being a state, the Elizabeth line isn't technically part of the Underground. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Juan Foyth @ #74788: Tricky one that, dios mio (1 year, 8 months ago)

Juan Foyth @ #74791: Nice grid, chapeau (1 year, 8 months ago)

snag @ #74783: bill u can have one of my points if u want :-) (1 year, 8 months ago)

PJ @ #74772: "Night" is also a red herring for the Shakespeare group. (Twelfth Night). (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74786: Clever. If I were nit-picking, I'd advise correcting 'disinterested' to 'uninterested', as disinterested technically means not having a selfish motive,rather than not being interested by something. (1 year, 8 months ago)

sparky @ #74786: Lovely grid - cheers (1 year, 8 months ago)

Frankie @ #74781: Love this (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74782: Just to say it's Hey Duggee not Yet Duggie if you are referring to the brilliant Cbeebies programme narrated by Alexander Armstrong. 😊 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74776: Well I enjoyed the grid. Managed to get full marks! And a lot I find really hard! Just one pedantic point Russell Grant is most definitely not an astronomer. He's an astrologer so less looking at space and more making things up about it (1 year, 8 months ago)

Lucy @ #55166: Fun!!! Love it thanks (1 year, 8 months ago)

Bill @ #74783: Typed ure and it didn’t accept even though that was the answer? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Master Obi @ #74784: Awesome (1 year, 8 months ago)

Lucy @ #74781: Ha! Tricky. Think some of the homophones were a bit of stretch but I liked it. Thanks (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #56784: Thanks - enjoyed the grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Cam @ #74775: Very good. Original content difficult but fun. Had to speak everything out loud good job (1 year, 8 months ago)

M.mouse @ #74769: Please accept compass points (1 year, 8 months ago)

Cam @ #74763: Very creative grid. My wife and I love doing it on the couch together. (1 year, 8 months ago)

mal @ #74763: Lots of fun ( agree about the pig not quite fitting though) (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74757: Just a little one - me being pedantic. Valerie was a bit for the Zutons then covered by Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson a year later. But otherwise good grid. Got the connections once the groups were shown to me! (1 year, 8 months ago)

gridlington @ #74775: Refreshing change! (1 year, 8 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #74730: Nice grid! 👌 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74772: Nice and easy grid - didn’t get section but it slotted in by default and the others gave the connection away ! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74763: Have to agree about the piggy in the room, BUT, who cares a fun grid. TY (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74769: Incidentally I don’t think racecar is technically actually a word - and neither does my iPad !! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74769: Will somebody PLEASE use Racecar as something other than a palindrome - it’s a dead giveaway whenever it is used - which is often… (1 year, 8 months ago)

St John @ #74775: Not a single "gen you whine" homophone among em. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74775: * Just a bit of mangled fun. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Richard @ #74772: The mid set got me. I was trying to come up with a Shakespeare play with section in it. Nice grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74774: None of them are circle - or are you a flat earthier Three of them are spheroids …. Nice try - easy anyway (except I’m not sad enough to queue up to buy certain drinks or know their flavours (just sad enough to comment on puzzgrid !!) (1 year, 8 months ago)

Richard @ #74757: Nice grid and to see the Tempest set. I see the comments on song titles but I did actually get that group. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Tom @ #74774: Have you just described your own grid as amazing? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74763: Let down by a female pig ! - not that it fitted anywhere else but still…. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74757: To be fair - song titles are always risky because there are so many it’s hard to find things that haven’t been used Didn’t matter to me though as I’d no idea on the Arden group and for some reason grids never accept “characters from a tv show I would not be seen dead watching’ 😏 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ranaldo @ #74774: AMAZING (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74754: Thrown by the doe roe having already assigned the herring (Harp) Sadly a wrong or at best extremely tenuous component in a group always makes a grid frustrating - this grid had two with bolk being t’other - shame as it was good otherwise (1 year, 8 months ago)

Pauline @ #74769: Please change the answers to accept "compass points" (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ranaldo @ #74426: pretty good (1 year, 8 months ago)

qieing @ #74730: Really enjoyed this (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jericho @ #74754: I enjoyed the grid anyway, but bolk (rhymes with yolk) actually means to retch or vomit and you will still hear it in parts of the North and Scotland. It's good to have obscure clues in there. I like learning one thing because I have heard of the other three. It's no bad thing if guesswork has to come into play towards the end of a grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #74747: Concur with the others. An excellent grid. You might accept "verse" for the red group, though. (1 year, 8 months ago)

David Rees @ #74763: Absolutely fantastic! (1 year, 8 months ago)

glue @ #74759: Think I’ve seen the flag one before. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Alison @ #59184: Definitely primates. I don’t think Hole in One quite fits and I don’t think there’s any rhyming going in those examples. Enjoyed it though. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Quizzling @ #74759: I feel like I've seen something similar to the chain group before, but great to get some novel categories with the other three! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Quizzing @ #74763: I'm afraid "female pig" doesn't work as a homophone for me - have only ever heard it pronounced to rhyme with "how". "Sow" could still work if you changed it to the sense of planting seed. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Skerm @ #74748: Fantastic (1 year, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #74760: Very nice. I particularly enjoyed the Lucas group. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #74760: Excellent grid - one particularly challenging connection (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74761: Too tricky. I spotted two correct links, but couldn't sort those groups (I'd only heard of two from each),until I'd searched for and sorted two hidden groups. I was guessing on my last life of my fourth go, and solved it. Don't know why I didn't give up. Clever (1 year, 8 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #74734: Nice grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74757: Fun, and a nice quick one to solve, but I managed to separate my final two groups by pure luck. At least three of the four in the Aiden group, could have swapped over with Carrie in the other group, so there are at least four equally valid solutions to the grid, rather than a single, unique one, as is recommended on the 'about' page, and as on the TV show. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74756: Clever grid, but why didn't 'shysters and psychopaths' score a point for the Truss group? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74755: Quite good fun. Easy to solve after completing one group. Very nice ideas for groups, it's just a shame all the links were based on playing about with the words, rather than any straightforward general knowledge or other logic. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74754: Quite good. Nice ideas and a pleasingly quick solve. I feel book and rift are a bit archaic - I've literally never heard of them as synonyms for the link, and it's a pity the that doe/row is wrong for the group,as roe is fish eggs, not a species or common name of a fish. Other than those quibbles, it was fun. (1 year, 8 months ago)

SholingDex @ #74753: The piano is a percussion instrument (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74742: Good. Very clever.The interview group was too hard for me. I thought of the connection, but only for interview, and knew the others from the group weren't in the series I was thinking of, so didn't try it. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Skerm @ #74734: Liked the red herring. Completed in a minute, which I'm quite pleased about! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Superdolly @ #74753: Lovely (1 year, 8 months ago)

Superdolly @ #74754: Agree Andrew! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74747: That’s what a class grid looks like 👍👍👍👍👍 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74747: Very nice. Groups that weren't obscure or niche, and enough red herrings/overlaps to make it interesting. Thank you. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74747: Very good (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74748: Great grid! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jo @ #74340: Good grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

Dargan @ #74752: Love this grid, especially the red herring elements. Sectors of economy should probably be accepted for the red group., (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74740: Good,and easy to solve in the end. It's a shame it has at least two equally valid solutions, which isn't how it's meant to work. Green in the bean group, can swap with black in the tea group. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Alison @ #59845: Correct answers denied! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #70150: Enjoyable thanks. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74740: DeLorian wasn’t American, they were made in Northern Ireland - The incorrect urban myth is that the Chevy Nova bombed Latin American countries because it means won’t go - but it’s not true - it sold fine in Latin America Didn’t affect the grid much but…. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74739: Not sure which one weenie man is weak - my only gripe is there were six and I didn5 spot which to illuminate soon enough … but the four in the group plus the other two are completely valid Basically a pretty good grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

DMA @ #74736: Alright, agree that UN agencies without international is a bit too obscure. Have tried a different last connecting group. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74739: Very good. Not so much the films for me, but I did feel satisfied getting the animals. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74737: I feel quiz show hosts is a bit nebulous. Especially with two being radio and two being TV, the TV ones are different channels and arguably different styles and VCM is Coren Mitchell not just Mitchell. I could of course be bitter about not getting the connection though. Otherwise enjoyable. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Finn @ #73496: Can't think of anything positive....sorry (1 year, 8 months ago)

ABC @ #74743: Nice grid. Got 10/10 because chicken, beer, and Pink Floyd are 3 of my favorite things. (1 year, 8 months ago)

weegieman @ #74739: Not bad, but as usual I find one word from the titles of a group of films (or books or songs or whatever) a bit weak, just too vague for my taste. Otherwise enjoyable. (1 year, 8 months ago)

hippopotamu @ #74742: Fun! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Maddie @ #74742: Aztec was hard. Love u James. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #74747: Red herrings galore, excellent Enjoyed playing that one 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74734: Literally red herrings 😆 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74735: Weird how different peoples brains work … I struggle on some mediums and find others that are supposed to be hard - like this fairly easy But very well put together - we most both spend too much time on motorways and watch ch4 sitcoms !! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74734: I don’t think the clue should be Tiger Tank - just Tiger otherwise it doesn’t really work for the PzKpFw Tiger B or Konigstiger - ie King Tiger - Even the PzKpFw VI H (Tiger) shouldn’t really have tank in the name Just being picky I know and it only distracted me for a while 😀 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Cazza @ #74726: Tricky but rewarding when I finally spotted where Abbey National belonged! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Alison @ #60005: Breeds of Dogs is accepted, but not Breeds of dog, which is grammatically correct. I guess the town issue couldn’t be resolved. Enjoyed the grid very much, though. (1 year, 8 months ago)

j @ #74737: you haven't actually stated the connections for one of the categories. I'm assuming they're 'carry on' actors? (1 year, 8 months ago)

adw @ #74736: Everything apart from the UN agencies is good. That group ruins it (1 year, 8 months ago)

Joni @ #74726: Fro British fans it isn’t that easy either. Fun though. Thank you (1 year, 8 months ago)

Alison @ #60132: Not a single correct answer was granted. (1 year, 8 months ago)

SKolli @ #74735: Really tricky one, love it! (1 year, 8 months ago)

GK Chaos @ #74723: Neil, I thought '7' and 'Train' was (probably wrongly) a ref. to the New York subway service. BTS more of a relatable cultural ref. than Train- at least for younger audiences. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #74733: Nice and easy grid 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 8 months ago)

adw @ #74707: Decent grid but not sure about those sauces (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74731: Works well, but the S group is a bit vague, and two hidden word groups is too much. I enjoyed the two fake groups. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Skerm @ #74726: This was a real frustrating one! 5/10. Must do better! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Delboy @ #74726: Lovely grid: yes, Abbey National and Fenchurch took me ages to get to right group (1 year, 8 months ago)

Delboy @ #74716: Tough. Mere 4 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74714: Quite good. Shame coat wasn't included as well as jacket in the keywords. I enjoyed the hidden words group - quite easy to spot when I was down to two groups to separate. I felt the sore group was a bit fuzzy . (1 year, 8 months ago)

Theresa @ #74724: Welll hard (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74713: Very well constructed. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #74711: Not the most difficult but beautifully constructed and happy to get 10/10 there. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #74723: Great grid, I like the ones where I can look at it, straight away think I'm going to fail miserably and then somehow after a challenge and a struggle get 10/10 anyway. Nice one. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Almond Clarke @ #74711: In case I was unclear, I do believe that ants count as animals. I can't really see the case against it. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #57160: Thanks for the grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

The Nut Dog @ #74699: Nutty locking in with a 10. F-yeah! (1 year, 8 months ago)

weegieman @ #74714: Agree with Ace, temperature group too vague, would be better, and easier to guess, if they were all preceded by the same word relating to temperature. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #74699: I like the gimmick. I can imagine a lot of people do not. I found it a little easy but was advertised as such so... (1 year, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #74705: Well worked fun to do 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 8 months ago)

Trix @ #74705: WK, you just did! lol : D (1 year, 8 months ago)

Matt @ #74716: Good one (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74723: Never heard of gravy on grits Train on the other hand are a great band - quite well known in the Uk playing venues like the O2 Arena over here…. BTS on the other hand I can’t say I’d heard of a seven connection there Still not a bad grid - guessable which is not quite as good as working it all out ! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74723: A nice,quick, straightforward one to solve, but having two fairly obscure American idioms in a UK grid, seems a bit of a cheat. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74705: There was a horse running at the Aintree festival recently called. Tequilamokingbird. I've been dying to use this. Maybe you can (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #57272: Enjoyed thanks. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #74715: Good stuff (1 year, 8 months ago)

Toferino @ #74679: Nice grid. Only flaw is that you've spelled Dalmatian incorrectly. (1 year, 8 months ago)

weegieman @ #74712: Clever, but I think the fish one is a bit off the beaten track (1 year, 8 months ago)

Myname @ #74721: Shepherd isn't a profession (for the other commentor). (1 year, 8 months ago)

Frankie @ #74723: Liked this (1 year, 8 months ago)

Them! @ #74723: ‘7 train’ and ‘grits’ quite esoteric Americanisms. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #74711: Generally OK, but pushing it a bit to call an ant an animal! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Filamen @ #74716: Really good grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74715: Enjoyed this one. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74709: Great grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fetruce @ #74721: Relatively easy, nice red herrings, but mascot group a bit shaky (professions didn’t go through for jobs also) (1 year, 8 months ago)

gaffergib @ #74677: Good grid. I spent all my time trying to find something else besides napoleon brandy in 'where do you go to (my lovely)'. Which shows my age!!! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74700: Nice to know it was quite good! Sorry for the shouty grid - sometimes it is better for them all to be in the same case, but in this instance it wasn’t really necessary. Perhaps “Upper-Case Wednesday” could become a trend!😉 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Pauline @ #74705: Good one! Very enjoyable (1 year, 8 months ago)

Pauline @ #74709: Yes, I agree with the X-Men comment (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74705: @Liz, perhaps more likely you're pronouncing mayor with two syllables? In the UK it's normally just one, like the French Maire, so unless Maryland is not pronounced like mare - e - land then it works well. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #74691: Straightforward if you guessed the right group first - good grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

Liz @ #74688: I dont know on what planet anyone would be fast enough to try all the red herrings AND keep track of them, but hey, well done if you managed it. And yeah, the D group also works with T. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Nat Atkins @ #15954: Sick grid cuz (1 year, 8 months ago)

Me @ #74691: Jolly good Blue Peter Fun! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Liz @ #74709: Kind of salty that I forgot the hyphen for x men and I didnt get the point, but okay, nice doable grid anyway. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74714: Temperature one needs more clarity - 2 can take heat, one cold, but ant makes no apparent sense in that group. Chinese one just waay too niche. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Tim @ #15859: agree with some users, this is the easiest hard I've played in a while. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Toferino @ #74710: Enjoyable grid. Didn't solve due to permutations of one of the groups but got all the connections. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jono @ #74699: Fun grid. Minor thing but from what I understand the first H-bomb (as opposed to nuclear bombs in general) wasn't detonated till the early 1950's and so the definition given would not be 100% accurate. Doesn't affect the grid or the solution but may consider changing it in the answer given. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74705: Fun one. Nearly got caught out by huh, in my head it's more like hah. YMMV. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74697: @Neil. I think you're being over-picky about compactness, TBH, it's close enough. The Jaja set is eggs, although it should be Roe, not Rhos. Overall not too bad but certainly could do with better explanations. (1 year, 8 months ago)

weegieman @ #74691: Straightforward and enjoyable, well done (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74698: 👍👍 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74698: Mitch? I meant much - these typos are so easy to do!! 😉 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74698: You spelled Anthony wrong in the grid (but right in the explanation!) maybe an edit? It didn’t affect the grid Mitch just a double take to see it was a spelling mistake Otherwise rather good :) (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74697: Compactness does not mean density it means small size and need not be dense Opacity does not mean density - in photography it refers to how much something can block light from passing through it. In photoshop they use density for masks to define a combination of opacity ( for black ) and transparency ( for white ) I’ve still no idea what the Jaja set refers to the explanation left me non the wiser I🤔🤔🤔 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74696: I just can’t see how that group are synonyms? Their are a couple of pairs of synonyms ( pair and match & game and match) but not for the same thing and I can’t see one for all four? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74675: Nice grid. No idea how I missed the Now group link. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74653: Nice work, decent overlaps but clearly defined groups. @Grace, That's 'cos it's a UK grid, where the term "grocery store" is not in common use, and where a "grocer's shop", a term used when I was a kid, would tend to imply a small shop, not a huge supermarket chain. No excuse for not accepting supermarket though. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Delboy @ #74664: Yta etc shouldn't get a point for saying the same answer to group with fudge in. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74639: I really liked this one, challenging and I did not get the underground. But an interesting mix of connections. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Katrina @ #74640: Malcontent, thanks for the feedback. I did check those out when plotting this wall. There are indeed places with those names in AL, but they are tiny unincorporated communities of a few people, certainly not cities. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Lucy @ #74638: Great grid, thanks (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74632: Thank you - I have updated it now. I don’t get why sometimes even when the answer is written down it still marks things as wrong.🤷‍♀️ (1 year, 8 months ago)

Omegaman+ @ #74607: For the first line I put all end in op which got me an X but then I just put rhyme and got ✔️ for the rest so I gave myself 10 despite no confetti. It was fun working out the groups though. Thanks. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #57867: That aside, an interesting grid. Thanks. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74643: The road signs was hard. But anything containing Duggee wins! Yes I have a preschooler, how can you tell? You could add in Bluey for all my favourites! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Antny @ #74644: Fun grid! Thank you (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74640: Very clever ideas, but I think Seymour, Nelson and Kent could all swap from their group,and take the place of Montgomery or Selma, so there are about a dozen or so equally valid solutions to the wall. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Skerm @ #74632: I typed "Internet Slang" for the OMG category, and it didn't accept, despite that being in the answer. You might have to update your possible answers. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Skerm @ #74639: jho - they are all synonyms of each other (scream, shout, make a loud noise, etc). But specifically, with the first letter moved to the end of the word. One could argue 'anagrams', but they all follow the same aforementioned rule. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74605: I was a little confused with Sea. I get Season, Sea sickness and seafood. But Seai? Sea I? Actually having typed it is it an I/i or a L/l? I and l are almost indistinguishable in this font, so maybe that should be changed if it's meant to be Seal. Try lion? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Superdolly @ #74605: fabby (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74589: Nice and simple and satisfying (though living in Guildford I have a slight advantage) (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74585: Agree with Ace's comments about the Superbowl. Mainly because I recognised they were singular NFL teams but not Superbowl winners, that is much more specific. Like a non Brit may recognise Manchester, Chelsea, Liverpool and Leicester are all beginnings of English premier League clubs, but unless your specifically didn't have a club like Newcastle or Tottenham in the grid but not in the group it's very unlikely to have the knowledge they are the 4 most recent winners. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74581: I may just not be that familiar with Wales. But I've never heard of Chirk or Bala. Their populations are really small and I kind of feel it does require quite specific knowledge. If I were to use places of equivalent size in my local area I'm not sure that many outside of the area would be familiar with them. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #74593: Good grid, some nice red herrings Maybe allow Francophone countries ? Liked the Brunei row 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 8 months ago)

Delboy @ #74599: I’m not sure that this grid is fair dinkum. It requires only niche knowledge of football squads with no wordplay answers or misdirection. Has no general appeal. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74596: Excellent! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #74595: Nice and easy grid for Sunday Well put together 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74585: Enjoyed this one, but a couple of minor points in your answers - the computer parts are not all hardware, the cities are missing all Es, not just one, and the football teams may have all won the SB but it's not a necessary part of the group or connection, so if you want to be that specific you could include others who have not won it. I'd never get it, but still. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74600: It's spelled "Madeira". (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74588: @Frankie, yeah, I have to agree. Two groups easily guessed by a process of elimination without any context, two that require a very specific and niche knowledge. I mean, tiktok? Please god no. (1 year, 8 months ago)

shryn19 @ #74585: @Neil Thanks for the comments! Honestly I went with all capitals because otherwise it would have been too easy to notice that 'Ram' and 'Rom' are not acronyms :) I'm still learning how to make good grids so I appreciate the feedback! (1 year, 8 months ago)

David Rees @ #74595: I really like these grids, Trix! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74585: Oops - forgot to say otherwise a decent if uncomplicated grid 👍 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74585: I DON’T LIKE BEING SHOUTED AT BY GRIDS - Why all the capitals ? The grid was easy - the connections need a polish - especially the nationalist one - and it’s a British flagged grid so spotting the three things for the American connection seems mean (The plural, the NFL and the Super Bowl winners) - though perfectly valid I suppose (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #58287: Would be better if Oliver was spelled correctly. Enjoyed otherwise. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74595: Looser definitions leads to less satisfactory grind and of course added to difficulty (eg Hoist which never means jack) Still fun - just not as much ! 👍 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74581: 👍👍👍👍 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74580: The tricky subject group is forgivable - gettable without spotting what they all are even Getting the name of one of Kubrick’s best known films wrong is not (it’s 2001: A Space Odyssey) - just to fit it as a red herring in another group. Dr Strangelove lacks part of its name too (it’s really Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb,) but more commonly, if incorrectly, shortened to Dr Strangelove . Full names or part names for them all would be ok I guess - but abbreviating to 2001 in a grid full of dates is just a cheat… And that’s what I didn’t give it five stars … (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74578: Thanks Neil - will amend (1 year, 8 months ago)

S @ #74590: Should accept game of thrones as an answer (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74561: Very challenging. I think having two groups of connections that are not commonly known by their initials is a bit much. Replacing one with TV programmes or bands that are often known by acronyms may have made it a bit more solvable. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74540: This was very well done indeed. (1 year, 8 months ago)

weegieman @ #74570: Have to agree with Toferino. When the solutions are too niche, the grid is usually impossible. But of course the solutions may not be too obscure for some people. (1 year, 8 months ago)

shryn19 @ #74580: @Toferino Thanks, for what it's worth I agree, I was honestly struggling to come up with something for the last connection so it was admittedly a bit of a cop-out! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Toferino @ #74570: Far too obscure for one or two of the groups. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Toferino @ #74580: Nice, except for the schools group - faaaar to difficult to spot, especially given that one is a two-letter acronym, one is a three letter acronym. (1 year, 8 months ago)

AmandaT @ #74567: Enjoyed, thanks :o) (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #58429: Found this very easy - is it in the right category? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74567: Enjoyed this. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74563: I love the missing letters questions! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Dahlia @ #74563: Fun grid! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74572: Great (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74565: Thought this was great! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mowgli @ #74567: Excellent. Really made me think. Thanks. (1 year, 8 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #74548: Enjoyed but can't see any crossovers - Thanks! (1 year, 8 months ago)

David @ #74550: No. This is supposed to me a medium grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

David @ #74552: I think you might be under the misapprehension that Keith Lemon is a comedian (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mister+Tom @ #74557: Just what I needed (1 year, 8 months ago)

David @ #74564: Nah (1 year, 8 months ago)

Julie @ #74559: Chefs name is Ramsay, not Ramsey. Otherwise a good grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #58704: It's Scunthorpe. And Penistone doesn't fit the definition. Not bad otherwise. (1 year, 8 months ago)

j @ #74505: great grid. strangely difficult (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74549: Not good. The organisation group in particular is ridiculous, you could include almost anything in it. (1 year, 8 months ago)

j @ #74519: loved this grid, didnt accept primary as a connection though. but ill take the 3 pointer anyways ;) (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74553: Ok really it’s why clouds for when hot humid air cools - it rains when the water droplets in the clouds combine and grow too heavy to be suspended in the air. I suppose if I’m being pedantic in my comments about the answers I should be pedantic in my own comment ! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74553: Almost a really good grid - but loses a star for Humid which refers to atmospheric water content and has nothing to do with heat.. In fact cold air cannot hold as much water as hot air so cooler air with the same water content as warmer air actually has a higher relative humidity. (Which is why it rains when hot humid air cools) (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74552: Thank you. A grid with valid overlaps and only one solution - a proper grid 👍👍👍👍👍 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74551: I can’t believe this - two grids in a row by different authors mixing up peerage and royalty - The monarch (king) cannot hold a peerage (They hold titles like duke of Lancaster but cannot be a Peer) King is specifically not a rank of peerage. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74550: Noble is very specifically not a synonym for royal A Noble is part of the aristocracy appointed by a monarch - Royalty It is never royal (1 year, 8 months ago)

Paul Redmond @ #74145: Nice grid:-), got the connections for the last 2 just as the time ran out - sssoooo frustrating:-) (1 year, 8 months ago)

Paul Redmond @ #74192: Oh dear:-( (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74553: Good ideas and well constructed, but humid doesn't mean quite what you're using it to mean - it describes the amount of water vapour in the air. (1 year, 8 months ago)

weegieman @ #74548: Not bad, but the anagrams are a bit of a giveaway, with only charm and yam being actual words. Still fun though. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Nb @ #67493: Nice and challenging. There's an awful lot of easy grids so its good to have some hard ones too. As a slight criticism having two sets of last names isn't ideal. Please make some more difficult/fiendish grids. (1 year, 8 months ago)

mal @ #74525: Neil, if someone says ''let's go and see the Elizabeth Tower'' most ppl, especially tourists, wouldn't know where that was. Most ppl would know Big Ben. (1 year, 8 months ago)

M.mouse @ #74526: Is rocket a herb or spice? I thought it was a type of lettuce/salad leaves (1 year, 8 months ago)

Gem @ #74525: Spent longer reading Neil’s comment than solving the grid but otherwise enjoyable. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Div @ #3801: Allowed connections need a lot of work. Nice grid though. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Bauer @ #74525: Neil is the type of person who gives out toothbrushes to trick-or-treaters on Halloween. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Pauline @ #74552: Bit harsh that it didn't accept "nationality" as correct (1 year, 8 months ago)

Pauline @ #74526: Disappointed that "vehicle" was not accepted as correct (1 year, 8 months ago)

Pauline @ #74528: Bit harsh that it doesn't accept "doctor" as an answer (1 year, 8 months ago)

Gangster gnuo @ #74545: Yr pokemon dank (1 year, 8 months ago)

Puddles @ #74540: Didn't accept "mischievous creatures". Otherwise, enjoyable grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

gridlington @ #74525: Name calling on here is pathetic. Stop it or leave. Big Ben is fine on here as a landmark. (Letter homophones are done to death though!) (1 year, 8 months ago)

Welcome_to_the_OC @ #73925: Great Grid! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Dale @ #74525: I agree with George, up to a point (1 year, 8 months ago)

me @ #74525: Ben might be technically not a landmark but I thought it was OK (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mike @ #53911: 59 years old and a great fan of language. In all my born days I've never heard of cheddar being a slang word for money (1 year, 8 months ago)

Joe @ #74542: I used to drift through life, devoid of any purpose or meaning. Then this grid opened my eyes to the beauty of existence (1 year, 8 months ago)

Eleanor Fisher @ #74542: Best Puzzgrid in town (1 year, 8 months ago)

Delboy @ #74528: Doctor should have been allowed for a ten. (1 year, 8 months ago)

jodfu4h @ #74494: mario, tomorrow, cut, power work (1 year, 8 months ago)

jodfu4h @ #42291: bob (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jacko15 @ #74535: 1 star, I (like many others) am allergic to soup and so naturally I am appalled that you would even consider including it in this grid. Shame on you. (1 year, 8 months ago)

jodfu4h @ #16253: livin like a hermit crab (1 year, 8 months ago)

Kitty @ #74536: Excellent grid - challenging but fun TYVM (1 year, 8 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #74519: Don't enter plurals as the answers! Two of my correct, but singular, answers were rejected for this reason. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #74526: Put root words in. I typed 'herb' and it required 'herbs'. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ro @ #74535: Nice (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #58990: Interesting one. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Feathers @ #74505: A lectern isn't necessarily a religious item or symbol, so I agree with it being disallowed. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #74535: Needs to give you a point for buns as well as bread rolls, don't think the cottage category works as Thatch would need to be Thatched (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ro @ #74510: Nice "classic" grid, ty. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Superdolly @ #74240: Vampire/Dracular? (1 year, 8 months ago)

James @ #74535: Hahaha, loved the grid category! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #74533: Good grid - like the differences in the groups (1 year, 8 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #74291: Excellent grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #74505: very enjoyable grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

Superdolly @ #74525: Ace here not hear! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Superdolly @ #74525: Neil I was just about to post the same comment!!! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Superdolly @ #74533: OK what is Devon cream not heard of this (1 year, 8 months ago)

Baldrick @ #74519: Good grid. I pity the person who asks for "cheese" as a Pizza. Live a little! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Angus @ #74529: I love the inclusion of fish in its group! had me completely foxed (1 year, 8 months ago)

Dave @ #74531: Can’t believe I missed the love actually one! I love that movie (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74534: So many Wombles! Sadly made more difficult by including Tobermory as a capital. With other red herrings like Hobart for that group it just makes it almost impossible to get even once you've worked out the possible categories. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Gatusalem @ #74528: Wtf ... Didn't accept "doctor", " bands" or "drinks" as valid answers. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74525: Nice and simple one. Being pedantic is normal hear, but honestly I think Ben was fine in that group. Was the first one I got and took only a few seconds, so it clearly matched in my head. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74526: Nice one, no problem. Just one tiny point of order though, ginger is a spice, not a herb. (1 year, 8 months ago)

christo @ #74526: Ginger is a spice not a herb. (1 year, 8 months ago)

George @ #74525: Neil, you are a prick (1 year, 8 months ago)

George @ #74533: Yeah why not? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Brooksy021 @ #74418: Fun. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Bearcules @ #74505: I was cross when I put in religious items for the crucifix group (1 year, 8 months ago)

Brooksy021 @ #74509: Thanks have now edited. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #59097: Very good thanks. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Josie @ #74532: Thanks. Now corrected (1 year, 8 months ago)

Dahlia @ #74526: Fun grid… missed the confetti because ‘vehicles’ wasn’t accepted. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Vicky @ #74489: This is grid of the week material (1 year, 8 months ago)

Vicky @ #74525: I disagree with Neil up to a point, but a good grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Vicky @ #74532: You have accidentally put Zulu in twice (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #59133: That aside, a good grid without Friends/Cluedo/ other overused categories. (1 year, 8 months ago)

DangerZoe @ #74529: It's a decent grid, with three really good groups and one terrible one. One relies on you spotting two letters out of a 7 letter word, and another is not in the same league of fame as the other three. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ellie @ #73803: Not where. Were (1 year, 8 months ago)

Steve @ #74526: The Victoria group is spoilt by Secret - as the brand is Victoria's Secret - so perhaps needs replacing by a singular, non-possessive Victoria connection instead. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Steve @ #74530: Taking the capitalisation from the brand names works in terms of creating a puzzling word group but doesn't work in this context as without them they aren't actually the correct brand names (e.g. blackberry is not the same as BlackBerry, mango isn't Mango etc). (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74528: Doesn’t accept Doctor …. You might want to tweak that (1 year, 8 months ago)

Cam @ #74526: Jesus wept, hard!! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74506: Too many interchangeable valid components of groups turns this into another game of permutations - which is never fun (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74510: Gelly - with a G - it’s even in dictionaries (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #74525: Agree with Neil up to a point, but a good grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

S @ #74525: I'll meet you in London at 4? Sure, where? Big Ben? You know exactly where that is. It is a landmark. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74525: A good grid spoiled by including Big Ben as a landmark It’s not - it’s the commonly used nick name for the Great Bell of the Great Clock of Westminster The landmark is now called the Elizabeth Tower This fact is such basic general knowledge it is not a mistake that should feature in a grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Lizzie @ #74418: Very clever (1 year, 8 months ago)

Aodhán @ #74514: Brilliant grid. Really enjoyed it! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74506: Clever ideas and nice groups, though the Cupid link is very loose. However, there should only really be one valid solution, and,as Venus or Jupiter can be swapped with Mars, there are at least three equally valid solutions. (1 year, 8 months ago)

StevenEven @ #74521: Looks a tad idiotic when names are written in small letters. (1 year, 8 months ago)

J @ #74510: Nay, not one of your harder ones but equally enjoyable TY (1 year, 8 months ago)

lugs @ #74509: It's DORmouse, not DOORmouse, and Kevin is not accepted (1 year, 8 months ago)

Moondog @ #74509: Dor (1 year, 8 months ago)

Andy @ #74514: I spent too long including Tiger Bay in the Belfast group and being angry that you missed out the S (1 year, 8 months ago)

PokeNoob @ #74473: Hello, hope you are well this evening, this was a tad tricky as the groups were rather niche! Have a blessed day. LADYKINS?????.?? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Andy @ #74509: Good quiz, but you need to change it so that the Kevin group accepts "Kevin" as an answer. (1 year, 8 months ago)

my name @ #74505: i entered 'religious symbols' for 'items found in a church'. i think that should've counted! otherwise, good puzzle (1 year, 8 months ago)

Omegaman+ @ #74481: Crisp brands didn’t work so perhaps amend to accept the singular? Otherwise a enjoyable grid to complete. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #59285: thanks! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #59295: Enjoyed this. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74510: Quite tough, but I am sure the brainiacs among you will figure it out. (1 year, 8 months ago)

offmessage @ #74492: Really nice! (1 year, 8 months ago)

no @ #74388: bad (1 year, 8 months ago)

yes @ #74421: good (1 year, 8 months ago)

AmandaT @ #74508: Enjoyed this! Some good red herrings... (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74492: Really good grid. Nice mix. Couldn't get the Eurovision, but still very satisfying. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74489: As easy as 1,2,3 noice. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #74496: Very clever grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

no @ #74492: bad (1 year, 8 months ago)

weegieman @ #74498: Nice and tight, and good fun (1 year, 8 months ago)

PJ @ #74505: I thought the one group was "commonly misused word." As in, people say podium when they mean lectern, or they say font when they mean typeface, or they say cross when they mean crucifix. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Lizzie @ #74399: Nice grid! (1 year, 8 months ago)

O @ #74505: I enjoyed the grid but Porbeagle felt like too much of a giveaway (1 year, 8 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #74506: Unfortunately doesn't quite work because mars could be swapped with either jupiter or venus (1 year, 8 months ago)

Richard @ #74503: The answer for the "doubles" group is very specific (1 year, 8 months ago)

Richard @ #74504: I put Norse Gods for the days of the week group.... (1 year, 8 months ago)

David Rees @ #74489: Excellent grid, very creative. (1 year, 8 months ago)

kaz @ #73917: need to expand on answers (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74475: Don't think there's a daily post in the UK is there. Diversity, in Scotland, yes. I got the newspapers group straight off by selecting daily tabloids, which could be added to clarify. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74481: @Neil, I see nothing wrong with that group. Are you just complaining about it not accepting that? Does it matter though? I mean, I didn't specify The but have d the points anyway (1 year, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #74496: That was good fun! Looked impossible at first and then the connections started to emerge. (1 year, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #74489: Never heard of a snow pea (1 year, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #74486: Not quite as good as some other grids by same author. The plumb line is more about measuring the weight of cargo than depth, which is measured in fathoms. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Richard @ #74455: Nice grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

Delboy @ #74455: HASTEN had me guessing. otherwise 7 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sarah @ #74498: He's a sexy quiz host (1 year, 8 months ago)

jodfu4h @ #13420: i dont think you wanna be gardening with your kitchenware (1 year, 8 months ago)

Werehare @ #33323: That was really fun realising how all the groups related! :D (1 year, 8 months ago)

Werehare @ #49628: That was incredibly satisfying. Thank you. :) (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74488: @Bagsy33, Yes, butter and back in particular don't really work, and Bartok (why is it capitalised?) and Brown likewise. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jordan @ #74488: these group are too close to one another, so red herrings dont really feel like red herrings at all (1 year, 8 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #74484: Enjoyed this - good grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

weegieman @ #74485: Not bad, but I think "ending in man" is a bit weak (1 year, 8 months ago)

b @ #74418: OK, 10/10, but I like 10/10 from time to time! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #74486: Plum line is not nautical, but you do plumb the depths - nice grid - like all the paws/ pours ones and they aren't different sounds in my accent (1 year, 8 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #74488: Some of these links are highly dubious - won't spoil it by mentioning the ones I mean - let see what others think (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ro @ #74469: Fun (1 year, 8 months ago)

Zoe Wood @ #74453: Great grid ! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ken Guthrie @ #74486: Pours and paws are different sounds (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jordan @ #74492: really fun grid, i would have believed you if you said they had this on the show (1 year, 8 months ago)

benj @ #74486: Should say transferS so it can relate to pours. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Tom @ #74453: Fun grid with good red herrings. Thanks! (1 year, 8 months ago)

b @ #74451: Fine except for the words of Gaelic origin, which to my mind is much too obscure (1 year, 8 months ago)

troemyd @ #74486: Is a plum line nautical? I'm not sure. (1 year, 8 months ago)

skinny @ #12347: Yep (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74481: Traditional Trades ? Otherwise a very nice easy grid. 😀 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74478: Any chance of allowing parts of atom? I used that because in someone else’s grid I typed sub-atomic particles and didn’t score! Sub Atomic particles is better - I just got caught by second guessing based on previous experience !! Good grid 😀 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74475: Multiple valid solutions makes it a permutations game and with 7 newspapers (35 perms) and a reference to regional pharmacies (and two pharmacies that use singular names in the first place) that all makes it a frustrating grid . (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74446: Good. Fun to solve. Shame the only simple general knowledge group among the wordplay and synonyms group had two obscure entries. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Tim Symes @ #74454: Guessed the groups but the different Permutations beat me. 6 for me, 10 for you (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74469: Nice grid. Fun theme to the grid. Thank you. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74475: Good, but am I missing something, or could both Post and Telegraph in the 'means of sending messages' group, swap with Mail in the ''Daily' newspapers' group? That would mean there were at least three, equally valid solutions to the grid, which I'm not sure is how the walls are meant to work. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Kabby G @ #74457: Made the changes Below - Hopefully a better Grid now (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #74432: Enjoyed this one a lot. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #74436: Revolutionaries and biscuits! Where's the Peek Frean Trotsky Assortment? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #74455: I thought 'high geographical feature' deserved a tick! Lol. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Avenger @ #60658: Poor grid. The ravine etc group was easy to spot (as were the others) but trying to guess what you thought was an acceptable answer for that group was made pointless as your "model" answer shows. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74427: You are a clever person with world knowledge without a doubt.😀 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74450: Bakery cake no good? Not to worry it was a ..... Day Out so to speak. TY (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74436: P.S. laffed out loud. (1 year, 8 months ago)

St John @ #74436: Sorry did not see this earlier. Is this Aussie Rules Football? I put netball (1 year, 8 months ago)

Eclo @ #74431: Love the Peter Gabriel inclusion (1 year, 8 months ago)

no @ #74432: bad (1 year, 8 months ago)

no @ #74441: bad (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74431: The ambiguity of the animal verbs is forgiven for the Peter Gabriel connection - would be better and more accurate though if it was just animals in or even all used as verbs in Shock The Monkey (Darking don’t you Monkey with the Monkey) (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74457: Very confused by this Burgundy is not a city - it’s a historical region and type of wine Bourgogne (note spelling) is not a wine it’s a region and the wine grown there is likely to be Burgundy And as puddles says - Gentling? Really? (I’d expect that of an American but not a Canadian - I can only find it in American dictionaries ! Ouch!) Would be a good grid with three changes ! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #74453: Ok, but less than 30s for confetti is a bit too easy. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Puddles @ #74457: Bordeaux with an "a". And gentling - really? Otherwise, nice grid! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74453: Nice grid Glad you didn’t have goose in the golden group :) (1 year, 8 months ago)

David @ #258: Need better synonyms (1 year, 8 months ago)

Nero Wolfe @ #74291: (1 year, 8 months ago)

Dave @ #74445: I used “confectionary” for the sweets/chocolate group but apparently it’s “names of confectionary” which is a bit annoying! (1 year, 8 months ago)

AmandaT @ #74436: Bonkers! Enjoyed, thank you (1 year, 8 months ago)

weegieman @ #74436: Inventive, good laugh. Well done (1 year, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #74454: Interesting selection of categories & I enjoyed spotting the random chicken ones. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #74435: Inputted was the word I had the most trouble dealing with (1 year, 8 months ago)

David @ #74436: Love these ones and great obvious connections once you get them. (1 year, 8 months ago)

George @ #74453: Good one. As per Ace and Freddgar but better than being too specific which can be very annoying (1 year, 8 months ago)

George @ #74418: Nice one (1 year, 8 months ago)

Rosie @ #74436: Fun, thank you! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Finn @ #74445: Ace...that's the definition of a red herring. Nice grid but elements named after planets they are not. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Finn @ #74453: Super enjoyable (1 year, 8 months ago)

Finn @ #74454: Quality grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

Delboy @ #74450: definition of group containing troll et al needs more options as wouldn't accept my correct grouping and that cost me fill marks! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Delboy @ #74454: Nice misdirection! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #74453: Got the lot, but... As per Ace, maybe tighten up on the acceptable answer 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 8 months ago)

sparky @ #74436: Loved it !! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ro @ #74363: Great fun. (1 year, 8 months ago)

sparky @ #74453: Really good grid - cheers (1 year, 8 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #74418: Neat concept... 👌 (1 year, 8 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #74442: Nice grid! 👍 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74442: Nice one, but why the German flag? Nearly skipped it. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74453: Nice and easy one, although I felt a fraud for getting a point for 'film' given that I had no idea of the connection between them. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74445: Agree that the planets one is overly complicated, but the element aspect does avoid a possible swapover with uranus going in what would then become simply body parts. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #32895: very clever (1 year, 8 months ago)

Skerm @ #74432: Really enjoyed this one! (1 year, 8 months ago)

count+snackula @ #74291: good grid, no inconsistencies, don't know what PJ above is on about (1 year, 8 months ago)

Bearcules @ #74432: Really enjoyable. Please and thank you. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #59845: I put tonic solfa for the notes, which is correct, can you add this to acceptable answers please? (1 year, 8 months ago)

123 @ #74450: Dahlia, definitely! (1 year, 8 months ago)

George @ #74434: Good grid but did not like the "take ..." connection (1 year, 8 months ago)

George @ #74436: Great grid. Open your nighteyes (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #59913: Enjoyed this, please can you make dance acceptable as well as dances. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Dahlia @ #74450: Good grid… I gave myself “countries” and “pastries”! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #59996: Just learned about the scops owl - thanks! (1 year, 8 months ago)

weegieman @ #74433: Only for film buffs (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #60086: Quick to complete, a bit easy but fine. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74445: They aren’t the elements - they are the planets - at best it would be planets after which elements are named - and the status of Pluto throws a spanner in those works too! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Micharn @ #74432: This was brilliant! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74448: Fun. A little messy,with two groups being a bit loose/vague, but good ideas, crossovers and rude red herring group. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #74442: Well constructed. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #60091: I don't know about pokemon but do agree that trees should be an accepted answer. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #74434: Good grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Finn @ #74436: Well done (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #74436: Novel ideas, great grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #60101: Rose - things that are white? How about talc, or chalk, instead? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #60105: Thanks! (1 year, 8 months ago)

fezzo @ #74431: hmm for the two animals group - horse and snake can also be verbs; and they can switch with either "Rat" or "Monkey" and the groups would still be correct. Maybe remove the "verb" connection and just leave it with "Shock the Monkey"? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #60125: Nice. Thanks. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Dan Egan @ #73861: I guess this one is easy if you're a physicist. I normally don't get 10 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Hb @ #74445: Fun!! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74445: Lovely easy grid to solve, clear groups, no swappable answers, well constructed. 'The elements named after planets' link was rather odd though, as it's literally just a list of planets, and needs nothing else in the description to avoid swaps with other groups, but apparently 'elements' is needed for the point. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74422: A Scouser from north London? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74422: Sneaky but I'll give you 4.5 stars or indeed 9/10. TY (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jacob_P @ #74388: Sorry guys, all your points are right and I've edited the answers. This was my first grid so I was bound to make mistakes lmao. However thank you for doing it! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Puddles @ #74441: Rawbee: No I don't have a COQT team but I watch the matches a lot (1 year, 8 months ago)

Antny @ #74432: A very crafted grid, thank you (1 year, 8 months ago)

rawbee @ #74441: We are the Wildcats and this is our first season. Do you play COQL? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Juls @ #74436: This was great! (Although I think my house-mate was worried about me because I was saying very random things out loud :-D ) (1 year, 8 months ago)

rawbee @ #74441: Fixed. Thanks, Juls! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74432: Eiffel Swanson and stoppable had me guessing !! But I guess I guessed right ! 👍👍 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Liz @ #74418: Great grid! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Juls @ #74441: You missed the second 'n' out of gang***. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #74442: Great grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74429: Nice idea - but a frustrating grid - needed longer - could see the connecting groups - or close enough - just ran out of time … (1 year, 8 months ago)

Liz @ #74423: No clue who Mary Norton is, you picked some hella obscure Ghibli movies and as a non-religious person I think "bible" should always be counted as a correct answer when it is anything related to that, but hey that's just me probably. Still, pretty good grid, surprised myself with how well I ended up doing :) (1 year, 8 months ago)

Liz @ #74411: Loads of great crossovers, if I could have had one more guess I would've gotten it. Also, for the Canterbury group I thought it was "last name professions". My last name is the Dutch version of Miller, so I guess I got stuck on that, but oh well! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Liz @ #74421: Took me a bit to get there (especially the deer - heart one), but got there in the end! Also, David Spade was pretty well known in the 90s/00s, thought I dont know who Anne Diamond or Brian Hart are, but that shouldnt matter. Great grid! (1 year, 8 months ago)

SuzyPoozy @ #74411: Great combination of answer types! Thank you (1 year, 8 months ago)

Puddles @ #74441: Wow! I'm speechless - thanks! What's your COQL team's name? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #74410: So clever (1 year, 8 months ago)

Paul @ #74436: A lot of fun! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #74442: Enjoyed this one. 👌 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Paul @ #74442: Hallo from Australia! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74434: Good ideas. I was confused because ticket and stand can swap with each other - take a ticket and bus stand. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Kay @ #74411: Excellent crossovers! (1 year, 8 months ago)

rawbee @ #74441: Thanks, Puddles! You are my COQL team's favorite submitter. (1 year, 8 months ago)

jodfu4h @ #39625: gum (1 year, 8 months ago)

b @ #74421: Obscure. Who's David Spade? Why deer and heart? Dear, maybe. Brian Hart - never heard of him. Poor all round. (1 year, 8 months ago)

weegieman @ #74431: Not bad, thought the Taylor group was a bit iffy (1 year, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #74434: Route etc are also things on/connected with trains. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #74436: Tomm etc. are also all well known in the arts field. If you had wanted the welsh connection, you could have had kneel kin knock for example. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Hmph @ #74427: ‘Vireo’ quite a broad term re. birds. As an umbrella term it’s open to interpretation. ‘Greenfinch’ might have been more precise. Side note: what’s the difference between a ‘Kinglet’ and a ‘Goldcrest’ I wonder? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74422: Two of the Homophones weren't homophones, but apart from that, a very good grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

Puddles @ #74441: Nice grid! "Oppa" group fooled me though (1 year, 8 months ago)

Meh @ #74423: Thanks Richard. I don't know how made that mistake. I'll edit. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74426: Easy bit of fun - but I’ve never ever heard a euro 10 cent coin being referred to as a dime before -maybe you should have used USA and Canadian 5 cents and ten cents and had Nickels and Dimes - maybe !? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74422: Aha - so you are a scouser? No one else uses Bizzies !! When isn’t a homophone for Wehn though is it? It’s pronounced with a V …. Good grid though :) (1 year, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #74418: Liked this and you had several things that could belong to mulitple groups, which is fun (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jericho @ #74429: Didn't quite get it all in three minutes, but I restarted the grid before the answers could come up, because I knew I'd solve it second time around. Great idea for a grid. Well done. (1 year, 8 months ago)

weegieman @ #74426: Not sure I'm perhaps missing the point of this (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #60226: I agree- was about to say that. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #60249: Some different categories from the usual. Thanks. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #74430: Uk prime ministers for the lIz truss set. Clever grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

David @ #74426: Not the best. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #74356: Great grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

trottolina @ #74419: Bill Clinton wasn't a vice-president at any stage, he was president. Hillary was Secretary of State and a senator. (1 year, 8 months ago)

7ovana @ #74419: Amazing grid, thank you ! :) (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #60549: Pleasant, bit easy for medium? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #60560: Very nice. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73922: The cream group link isn't great. Confectionery, candy etc. would have been better link terms than chocolate. Fry's Chocolate Cream and Rocky Road fit OK, but Turkish Delight isn't chocolate flavoured at all, though the Fry's brand produce a bar that's chocolate covered, peanut brittle doesn't contain chocolate, and I've never come across famous 'brand' of it combined with chocolate. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #60613: Nice. Thanks. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Trix @ #74421: Neil, I actually had that first! I will change it back. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #60699: I was convinced it was Don't Eat the Yellow Snow (Frank Zappa) which made it a bit difficult! Nice grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

skinny @ #74399: Addams and soccer both added as acceptable (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74421: Almost…. Straight talking doesn’t really fit - how about - one of a suit ? Or something like that It does need to be sterilised to get the d on the end too. Otherwise very good :) (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74420: Quite good. Tricky, but it all works. You're right to say 'approximate' for the Oui link, and to explain/apologise for jam though. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74421: Nice and easy, but 'sterilise' needs to be 'sterilised' for that group to work. Also, 'straight talking' feels a little a bit contrived/rather a loose fit for the link. Lovely theme though, and nice clues in general. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74419: 👍👍👍 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Superdolly @ #74418: A joy (1 year, 8 months ago)

weegieman @ #74407: Good one, nice and tight. But I would certainly have objected if roof had been given as equivalent to Ruth! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Enzed @ #74401: Very nice. Got them all after falling into the obvious geographical trap (1 year, 8 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #74415: As advertised with pleasant groupings. As regards the debate below or above I forget where I wind up, lady Gaga and maybe Taylor Swift are musicians. The others not really. I wouldn't have thought of calling them solo artists either. But I think I would advocate for them all as answers (1 year, 8 months ago)

mal @ #74214: Fun, different, nice crossovers. Good grid! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sam @ #74399: Can you accept "Addams" for the Adams group? I know that at least Wednesday's is spelt with two Ds. Thank you :) (1 year, 8 months ago)

Golfer119 @ #74415: I'd argue that a musician is the same as a pop star (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74406: 👍👍 (1 year, 8 months ago)

mick @ #74332: Not a fan of the actors shortened names - poor clue (1 year, 8 months ago)

Liz @ #74404: I like it when different languages are introduced, always messes up my score but at least I got all the groups :). (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74390: In your Ford group you mention Prefect, but not Zephyr. But there is no Prefect in the grid. Potentially a result from your tidy up? Otherwise great grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74377: A bit too niche for me, especially the Hole group. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74402: Doesn’t accept doctor for the doctor group Includes a non existent character in the Rocky Horror Picture Show (there is no R character) Not one of your best this timecme thinks (1 year, 8 months ago)

George @ #74406: nice and easy (1 year, 8 months ago)

skinny @ #74399: ooooft grid of the day!! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74388: Caesar was a title, not a name, so yes, used by many later emperors as well. Didn;t really make any difference to the grid though. (1 year, 8 months ago)

benj @ #74406: CaroN Keating RIP (1 year, 8 months ago)

benj @ #74388: The term Caesar was for emperor, not Julius. Augustus and others used it on the establishment of the Empire. (1 year, 8 months ago)

benj @ #74397: I experienced a red herring golden shower there, too. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74382: Clever groups and overlaps. Kind of fun to solve, but it was partly by lucky guesswork. Arguably all four of the Greco Roman entertainment venues group could swap with Colosseum, in the Landmarks of Rome group, so there could be five equally valid answers to the grid.The two groups are so close in subject matter, that it would be better to place Colosseum in the venues group and include another more modern landmark in the Landmarks group. It's a shame it doesn't work like a proper grid, as it was actually quite a nice, quick solve, and the other two links were clever. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74377: A lot of Hole in there! (1 year, 8 months ago)

rubby @ #74396: worst ever (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74353: @Fairy, that's 3 more than me, (1 year, 8 months ago)

freddgar @ #74405: Username gives it away, half term is it ? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74400: Very sneaky, having Soldier of Fortune there. I was SURE it was about spying, but it's just about someone suspected of spying, so it can't be swapped. Very clever (1 year, 8 months ago)

David Rees @ #74404: Excellent grid! (1 year, 8 months ago)

MS @ #74400: Really enjoy your grids. (1 year, 8 months ago)

GS @ #72961: Music groups should be accepted as an answer (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74401: Like @Malcontent, took a while to sort out the groups. But for me it was the engine connection I couldn't get. Annoying, but that's the art of a good grid, connections that you know you should have got but didn't. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74394: Interesting links, some a bit obscure but not impossibly obscure, or too niche to work out. Fun red herrings. Thank you. (1 year, 8 months ago)

BabyJane @ #74378: Julie, cheers - fixed Neil, apols- fixed Fred and Sid, thank you very much 😀 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74401: Tricky. Took almost two minutes to sort the grid. Once sorted, I didn't spot the Bell group connection until the I'd been scratching my head over it for a minute, and felt silly. Fun & funny. Thanks. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74388: Apparently a tomb is not a burial place - who knew? But including Lenin in that group was very weak in the first place. Would have been good otherwise. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74385: Good one (Even if that is a rather warped definition of an SU!) (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jeannie+Smith @ #74397: Need to change the alloy group- tin is a metal, not an alloy. Otherwise good (1 year, 8 months ago)

Buzzards @ #74397: Tin isn't an alloy, but otherwise enjoyable. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #74388: Was Caesar an emperor rather than a military leader? Tomb seems ok for the mausoleum set. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jericho @ #74390: Thanks Malcontent. I've tidied it up a bit. I think t's slightly easier to guess now, but it's added an extra herring. I had it my head of the Granada being of a different age to the others (no 60s styling and the only one you could buy in my lifetime), but it's not easy to classify that for a clear connection. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #74390: Very well constructed. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #74378: Fun grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74390: Really clever grid, and a fun solve, but Granada and Anglia can be directly swapped with each other between the Ford group and the Regional TV group, so there are at least two equally valid solutions to the wall, so I must have been really lucky to solve it in two minutes. Nice groups, and fun red herrings though. Thank you. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74387: Really interesting ideas, and a fairly easy solve. I disagree with some of your definitions/categories (e.g. vibrato and fry aren't ways if lengthening notes, bleep isn't the sound of a bell) but your link terms must have been broad enough that I still got the points. Fun grid though. Thank you. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Enzed @ #74385: Straightforward but nicely done (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jericho @ #74380: Seemed too easy to separate the groups without knowing what the links were. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Puddles @ #74388: Didn't accept tombs. Otherwise, nice grid! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Gamnara @ #74343: Spelling error fixed. Thank you all for the note! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Eclo @ #74367: I apologise, how about Rock-hard? Surely that second example justifies its inclusion? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74367: And surely the common rock simile is “solid as a rock” ? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74378: Not allowing Noel? Always frustrating when you don’t get confetti 🙁 Otherwise a good, fun grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74367: Rock still doesn’t fit - steady as a rock is a simile but that does not confer on “Rock” the meaning unmovable. It only ever means that in conjunction with other words. Rock is not really a Janus Word - there’s plenty of others - Weather, Sanction etc. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Omegaman+ @ #74345: Synonyms should be sufficient (1 year, 8 months ago)

David @ #74343: You can't spell rogue. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74355: Not really all synonyms for castle though - Palace just isn’t and Bastion (which is a specific part of a fortification ) is pushing it . ( and if they were a synonym group shouldn’t need further qualification - they would by definition be synonyms of each other ) Pity because it spoils a decent grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

Julie @ #74378: Royal House should be Stuart, Not Stewart. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74350: 👍👍👍 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74347: Too many weak definitions and tenuous elements of groups - grids can be fiendish and five stars - but this one doesn’t quite hold together and is perhaps fiendish simply because it doesn’t quite hold together … (1 year, 8 months ago)

Panda @ #74325: For the actress where the spelling doesn't match, an alternative clue could be "Street bordering NOHO" or "Street in New York". (Different pronunciation, but same spelling as the city.) Or "Chronicle" (famous newspaper). Or "Sam" (the person the city is named after). Or "Largest city in Texas".

Phillyfella @ #74273: Brilliant 👏 👏 👏 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Baron @ #74276: Fairy - good shout, will add that in as another term. (1 year, 8 months ago)

sparky @ #74273: cheers guys - I think we all need a bit of silliness from time to time (1 year, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #74274: Very enjoyable and just the right degree of challenge (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sharon Murphy @ #73722: Wedding Ringo?? (1 year, 8 months ago)

sparky @ #74270: Really nice grid - Happy Easter (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sharon Murphy @ #73733: You have put DNKY instead of DKNY (1 year, 8 months ago)

sparky @ #74283: I have no idea why this has posted again - sorry !!?? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74273: Fun but too hard, especially with the two alls. (1 year, 8 months ago)

sparky @ #74278: A bit specialist for me - but good none the less - cheers. (1 year, 8 months ago)

sparky @ #74281: Just for a bit of fun guys !! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Dahlia @ #74273: I only managed the first line lol! Happy Easter! 😁 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74270: Nice one. Thankfully spotted the MacArthur group early and then the rest just dropped out in a minute. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74276: The marvel characters - you should allow Avengers (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74269: I think you've accidently put a British flag next to your grid. You probably want German. Still feeling pleased I found the currency group! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74270: Very good grid. Some excellent overlaps there (1 year, 8 months ago)

Julie @ #74272: The answer for catagory globe, white, ball and man should be snow, not SHOW!! (1 year, 8 months ago)

DH @ #74274: good grid ty (1 year, 8 months ago)

Primaeus @ #74267: Paris and Romeo & Juliet made no sense to me (1 year, 8 months ago)

Kitty @ #74030: Fun and original TYVM (1 year, 8 months ago)

BabyJane @ #74275: Might have been in with a shout if it was Argo not Argos (1 year, 8 months ago)

AmandaT @ #74273: Thank you! And Happy Chocolatey Easter to you :0) (1 year, 8 months ago)

Trillium @ #74273: Typo, persnickety, but very cheerful! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Alison @ #74273: It’s really pernickety on accepting answers, though. Oh well, not to worry 🙂 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Alison @ #74273: Ha ha 😃 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74272: Nice and straightforward to solve. I think the 'Associated with' link is a little wishy-washy though. (1 year, 8 months ago)

sparky @ #74273: Just for a bit of fun guys !! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74269: Not sure this grid should be in the English category. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74270: Excellent grid. Separating the MacArthur and Rossi groups nearly defeated me,but I saw the links and had a couple of lucky guesses. Thank you. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74271: Good. Too many 'wordplay' groups, but nicely constructed, and clever red herrings. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74272: Nice. Confused me with your typo of show instead of snow. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74266: Lovely grid. No obscure knowledge needed, just logic. Nicely constructed. Thank you. (1 year, 8 months ago)

DJCC @ #52954: Enjoyed this one (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #69761: Excellent grid all round. @Ted, yes, but as it's not in that group it still acts as a good red herring to a possible Atlantic islands group. Actually made it more of a challenge if you didn't spot the bakery group first. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74247: The Hague is the capital in all but name, i.e. it is the seat of government. The rest is just semantics. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Alison @ #64463: For a moment there I thought you had a dog called Prince. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Dahlia @ #74267: Love your grids! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Alison @ #64472: You typed that question here, rather than a search engine? It’s not the setter’s fault there are gaps in your knowledge and this one really isn’t that niche. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Josie @ #74267: Very enjoyable (1 year, 8 months ago)

AmandaT @ #74267: Loved this one! Thanks! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Rob @ #74267: Utterly brilliant. Defeated me within the time but I could see the structure. Caesar and seizer - love it! (1 year, 8 months ago)

DJCC @ #53004: The link on the Stork group felt a bit weak. If you replaced Stork with Turkey you could have a tighter link (1 year, 8 months ago)

Superdolly @ #74190: Couldn't see the saw what a twit I am (1 year, 8 months ago)

Superdolly @ #74252: The IV group a thing of joy! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Melb @ #74266: Aitch - agreed! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Aitch @ #74266: Great grid, but I awarded myself an honorary point for 'Knights' for the Bath group. (1 year, 8 months ago)

StevenEven @ #74247: Hard to pass the grid if the facts aren't right! Was thinking of various different answers for the last one, knowing that 'capitals' isn't it. Please check your facts next time... (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #63370: (1 year, 8 months ago)

nighttime @ #74247: The capital city of The Netherlands is Amsterdam, not Den Haag. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Michelle @ #74252: Really clever and well thought out grid. Thanks! (1 year, 8 months ago)

mal @ #74249: It's Walker's crisps ( not walker) and there's a typo in ''Paul dead'''. Sort the minor issues out and it'll be a pretty good grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

BabyJane @ #74252: Love these ones. Cheers (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #63568: I agree. Good grid otherwise. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sic @ #74250: Enjoyed! :) (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74246: Nice, but your answers are too easy. Gave me point for 'profession' for the Dury group even though I hadn't spotted the lyrics. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Klee @ #74260: I made Dis (1 year, 8 months ago)

Klee @ #74260: (1 year, 8 months ago)

weegieman @ #74249: Great fun, well done you (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74247: Really liked this one. Shame you couldn't make it insist on the 'not largest' in the capital group. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74255: Super hard. The film group was already hard enough without the letter change. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Toferino @ #74243: MISSOURI? It doesn't appear as an option. You have FINK instead? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Toferino @ #74248: "Sixth" group is a nice idea but far too obscure to be gettable. Cymbal group rather niche. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Toferino @ #74241: Nice grid, but wouldn't accept "photography". (1 year, 8 months ago)

Toferino @ #74255: I got the Orwell group, though despite reading 1984 many years ago I actually thought the connection was the regions in the board game Risk! Got the anthropomorphic connection but not the group. Wouldn't have spotted the Winslett group in a thousand years. Challenging and enjoyable grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #74252: Loved this, particularly the Ivy set (1 year, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #74249: Very enjoyable (1 year, 8 months ago)

jodfu4h @ #52255: elvis?? i saw him last week in cuba (1 year, 8 months ago)

weegieman @ #74248: Good apart from the "sixth" group, which seems way too unguessable (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sawyer @ #74193: cAmDeN type normally🤨 (1 year, 8 months ago)

weegieman @ #74250: Good. Muscle stumped me. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sawyer @ #74193: this grid was probably my favorite and easiest grids 😃 I got 9 points ｡◕‿◕｡ (1 year, 8 months ago)

cAmDeN @ #74193: great thingybobber dude or gal I duuunnnnoooo who you are (1 year, 8 months ago)

Alex Knight @ #74240: I'm afraid I'm another Good/Bad moaner! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #74246: Beyond me, but music buff might like it. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Trillium @ #74060: Deadly! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ro @ #74252: Great fun (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mv @ #74247: Nice (1 year, 8 months ago)

Alison @ #64900: Tinea is ringworm, which isn’t solely a foot issue (see what I did there?) Good grid otherwise, as usual. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Alison @ #64948: Helen, 1800s refers to the century as well as the decade. The 19th century began 1st January 1801. That said, “classic novels” should have sufficed. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #63909: Aaagh didn't quite finish. Good though. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #63923: Enjoyable. (1 year, 8 months ago)

christo @ #74252: Excellent grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Dahlia @ #74249: Really enjoyed this! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Chris Ditchfield @ #74246: Fiendish (1 year, 8 months ago)

S @ #74192: Wombles not accepted even though it was the right answer and what is a fever fever? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Chris Ditchfield @ #74249: It's Johnnie Walker. (1 year, 8 months ago)

S @ #74196: Underwear link needs changing. "Words that end in underwear" Algebra-underwear? None of the words end in it. Hidden items of clothing/underwear would be better. (1 year, 8 months ago)

H @ #74251: Excellent! Thank you. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74251: Easier than it first looked 😀 Good grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #74241: Good grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #74247: Straightforward, but great fun. (1 year, 8 months ago)

weegieman @ #74247: Good challenge, tricky without being abstruse (1 year, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #74249: Very good grid, enjoyed it. Got all but the answer to the factory line. You win 10-7, more please. Thanks for posting. (1 year, 8 months ago)

hans @ #74226: nice mix, thanks. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #74190: Nice grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74226: Nice mix, logical groups, simple to solve. Shame cardinal directions wasn't accepted the compass group. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Richard @ #74240: Good/bad plus I'm not sure "sweet tooth" is a type of tooth as the others are,its more an expression (1 year, 8 months ago)

M.mouse @ #70060: White sea???? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Chris @ #74240: Another in the bad/good camp (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mv @ #74240: Yeah I went for good... (1 year, 8 months ago)

M.mouse @ #70570: Agree aristocracy should be accepted (1 year, 8 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74243: Thanks for the info changes made (1 year, 8 months ago)

Pauline @ #74240: I agree with both comments (1 year, 8 months ago)

calvin @ #74030: nice one, took me a while. I got it all, but I said "apostles" instead of bible books and was wrong (1 year, 8 months ago)

calvin @ #74057: Got it all except the football one, I thought perhaps there was some kind of Running Moon lol Enjoyed it. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Puddles @ #74243: And it's Coen, not Cohen (1 year, 8 months ago)

Matt @ #74243: Not bad. Three Billboards is by Martin McDonagh though (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74214: Simple and achievable (1 year, 8 months ago)

calvin @ #74193: I also tried fictional animals, bookkeeping terms, villians, none were right, still fun (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74207: Lovely grid. Just figured the anagrams but team of if time (1 year, 8 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74244: Really tough but really fun. I only got one group but still loved it thanks (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #64315: Scarlett is not a fever or a colour. Scarlet is. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Phil @ #74229: Great grid i thought I had it beat but you got me 😁 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Andy @ #74240: Agree on bad/good. Also, please accept "teeth" for "tooth" (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #64338: Excellent thanks. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #74196: Clothes not underwear, and every group is also amounts of things. I liked the idea behind it though. Awarding myself confett. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Arcadian @ #74225: Frankenstein wasn't a monster. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74241: Great grid. I guessed the rappers connection so I was lucky. (1 year, 8 months ago)

kate @ #74238: Nearly said Fletcher's... (1 year, 8 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74240: Fair point (1 year, 8 months ago)

Simon very @ #74240: The ‘bad’ could just as well have been ‘good’ (1 year, 8 months ago)

Dr Solvo @ #74239: Another quality grid from orchard. Thank you! (1 year, 8 months ago)

David Rees @ #74229: Really good grid! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Stephen @ #74193: Used "fictional animals", but apparently missed the exact phrase you were hoping for. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #74226: Nice. Fairly easy, but a nice mix. Good wall. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Alex K @ #50504: Great idea, poor execution (1 year, 8 months ago)

Keuna Cho @ #74223: I agree about "measurements" or "units" rather than weight. Also, please accept "vacation" for "holiday". (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74185: Gore blymee I was dozy, and I should have seen your fav. EF. (1 year, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #74219: What is VAPE juice??? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74226: Compass excellent (1 year, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #74214: Straightforward fun (1 year, 8 months ago)

gridlington @ #74220: Good grid. Didn't accept "ferdinand" as an answer (1 year, 8 months ago)

George @ #74214: Good fun. Some people are never happy. Only joking! It was an ace grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

George @ #74217: I agree with Ace and Neil. (1 year, 8 months ago)

George @ #74225: Nice one (1 year, 8 months ago)

Toferino @ #74223: We could get even more pedantic and say that grams, ounces and pounds aren't units of weight either - they are units of MASS. Weight is a FORCE. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Toferino @ #74223: Teaspoon and cup are NOT weights, they are VOLUMES. They have no single equivalent weights since weight is dependent on the density of the substance being measured. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Alison @ #74216: jodfu4h What group would you have put him in? (1 year, 8 months ago)

BB King @ #68266: BB King (1 year, 8 months ago)

jodfu4h @ #74216: no james earl jones??? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Myname @ #46971: I wish I could say that was enjoyable. Clues were fairly off depending on your accent so I can't rate this high quality I'm afraid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #74220: Very tricky. Good though. (1 year, 8 months ago)

kate @ #74224: Loved it. Didn't get last 2 groups or reasons but should have :-) (1 year, 8 months ago)

CHARON @ #56342: The saints and gospels are best known as the four evangelists. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #64476: Clever. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Andy @ #74223: Yeah I agree with "measurements" as opposed to weight. Also, I've been watching too much Simpsons as I went for lunch lady (Doris) as opposed to dinner lady! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74213: @Hans, yes, that's all very well, but the grid is flagged as Australian, i,e, an English language one, so you really shouldn't need to specify except when another language is being used. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Alison @ #66037: Cist, surely (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74223: Of course they're not weights. A teaspoon (5nl) of water weighs a lot more than a teaspoon of flour. Does it spoil the grid? Naah, not really, just needs to change to 'American cooking measurements' or similar. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Kitty @ #74214: I know this is very pedantic of me but an ace is definitely not a face card. (1 year, 8 months ago)

hans @ #74213: I do take your input onboard, and I thank for taking the time to write it out, but just accepting 'lakes' or 'German cities' as a connection doesn't capture the extra level of knowledge reflected in saying that they're the names of those things in English, not their native languages. VCM: "I need to hear something more...." (1 year, 8 months ago)

Alison @ #72721: Nice grid. Seems some people haven’t of google either. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #64696: Cleverly done, thanks (1 year, 8 months ago)

Pumpkin @ #74219: Nice grid! What’s happened to #74218? (1 year, 8 months ago)

AndyB @ #74216: Great grid, good fun! Use of lots of names was really interesting (1 year, 8 months ago)

AndyB @ #74221: Good grid, but connection answers a bit unforgiving! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Chris @ #74223: No cup and teaspoon are measures of VOLUME not weight. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74213: Confused why it didn’t accept German towns when that was correct - but did accept German towns when it was wrong ! (For European cities ) (1 year, 8 months ago)

Omegaman+ @ #74192: Wombles didn’t work even though that is the given answer and what is fever fever? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74221: You caught me with the added letter - I was putting them at the end ! D’oh ! Nice grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

american @ #14418: colors and colours should count as correct (1 year, 8 months ago)

PL @ #74225: Really great, bravo! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ezreb @ #74225: Thanks changed to Creature from the Black Lagoon, which wasn't a book— I was specifically going for the classic "famous monsters" which includes Invisible Man but I agree makes more sense w/o (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74225: Probably need to widen what is accepted for the monster group - for starters they were all in books before movies - and the invisible man wasn’t a monster - it’s a good group - but tricky to define so go for more key words or a broader definition and probably score more stars ! Otherwise a good grid with good overlaps and the odd tricky word thrown in :) (1 year, 8 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74223: I agree with Jericho......unlikely as that seems. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74225: Great grid thanks for sharing (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74217: Synonyms are synonyms of each other by definition - a requirement to guess the writer’s (inaccurate as it happens) further description spoils an otherwise rather good grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jericho @ #74223: Yes, they are. Both used in baking. A teaspoon is just over 4g and a cup is 200g. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74214: Nice easy bit of fun :) (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74212: 👍 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74207: 👍👍 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Them! @ #74216: Fun! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Lizzie @ #74219: Not sure vape fits very well… (1 year, 8 months ago)

Michael Cohen @ #74223: Teaspoon and cup are not weights! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Kate @ #74223: Great grid. Didn't get any right but when I saw the answers, I thought "of course!" (1 year, 8 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74220: Hahahaa @sparky let's not start that off again 🤣. If he is a man of his word he will never see it. (1 year, 8 months ago)

sparky @ #74220: Now that was a toughie!! do you think Neil would have liked it ?? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74214: Great grid really liked it (1 year, 8 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74221: Great grid well thought out. Thanks (1 year, 8 months ago)

Paul @ #74221: Very nice. I liked the ouch/ow combination. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Paul @ #74213: Nice groups, but need to work on the accepted answers (eg german cities, lakes) and the fourth group should accept many ways to explain it. (1 year, 8 months ago)

sparky @ #74194: I thought this was a lovely fun grid - got the old grey cells going - cheers (1 year, 8 months ago)

sparky @ #74198: Nice easy grid - thanks for posting (1 year, 8 months ago)

sparky @ #74201: Very nice grid - cheers (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74217: Not bad, but the synonym group is a bit messy, as they're different types of terms, so not synonyms as such. (1 year, 8 months ago)

sparky @ #74214: Nice simple grid - very enjoyable (1 year, 8 months ago)

Puddles @ #74213: The German cities group didn't accept "German cities" as an answer (1 year, 8 months ago)

Puddles @ #74216: Nice grid - thanks! (1 year, 8 months ago)

jodfu4h @ #62451: : ) (1 year, 8 months ago)

war2wall @ #74190: Good grid! Perhaps I'm too basic, but would 'cut' or 'cutting' not be suitable for the Carve, Score,[...] connection? Seems to me they're all things one can do with a knife... (1 year, 8 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #74177: nice (1 year, 8 months ago)

S @ #74204: Seriously, Godfathers of colonialism? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Pauline @ #74207: I agree with S and Rom (1 year, 8 months ago)

Argon Vile @ #74193: I found all four groups, but matched zero of the connections 😅 They seemed very ambiguous to me, for the same reason David outlined It is easy to figure out "These are all synonyms of log," "These are all actor/directors" and click the groups since they are unambiguous. But it's hard to come up with the exact grouping you thought they fit into. Fun grid though! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Kate @ #74196: Agh that was tough as they all seemed to have a link to each other. Just because I didn't get any right, it's HANGAR x (1 year, 8 months ago)

kate @ #74197: Great grouping. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74214: Nice simple grid. To be pedantic, Yoko is mentioned only in the title, not the song itself... (1 year, 8 months ago)

Flanners @ #74164: Brilliant grid, really well thought out (1 year, 8 months ago)

kate @ #74176: Stewie tripped me up! (1 year, 8 months ago)

S @ #74207: Wouldn't accept blunt weapons even though the answer was blunt-force trauma weapons. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Myname @ #48933: Dolphin image is broken. World image is very focused on the Americas so that threw me a bit. (1 year, 8 months ago)

MS @ #74214: Really enjoyed this grid. It was fun. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Dahlia @ #74214: Fun grid! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Tom @ #74190: Enjoyed the grid, thanks for making it! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Rom @ #74207: I correctly identified the groups but the wording wasn't exact so it said I was wrong (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74196: Not bad, fun grid, But yes, socks makes it clothing, and please try not to use American terms like airplane instead of aeroplane unless they have some meaning to the clue. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Dava @ #68430: One you mean ine (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jason S @ #74190: Nice well put together grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

sparky @ #74207: Lovely grid - thanks for posting. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Dava @ #68680: Poor answers (1 year, 8 months ago)

Skerm @ #74190: Fairly good grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Andy @ #74206: Right up my street (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74178: House group was rather vague and should have taken architecture as a link term. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74173: Nice and simple to solve in under a minute, but still tricky enough to be satisfying. Thank you (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74194: Finished with a minute to go. Lovely ideas, but a bit confusing because there are at least two equally valid solutions to the grid. Victoria and Northern can fit into the same two groups, so I wasted time trying to keep them both in the same one of the two as they should be, so the grid would work properly. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74197: Summer and winter can swap over between the groups. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74205: Very clever (1 year, 8 months ago)

ByUtahSteve @ #73756: Fun! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74204: Euro countries were also the main protagonists of the Peninsular Wars. More unique connection, imv. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74196: Hahaha thx Jrdn. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74199: I did not understand that! Sorry for the comment in that case. It still was pretty funny though 🤣 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Lizzie @ #74170: Never heard of finger lakes! (1 year, 8 months ago)

gridlington @ #74199: 😄 Good point, Phillyfella, but I think Haljam means the solution is not unique. Boy and Girl can be transposed, for instance. (1 year, 8 months ago)

gridlington @ #74177: Ah, you got me! 😄 But Warwick was *nearly* a city in 2022! Ok, point taken, but Dionne is one of the names that gives a clue. Like Cee Lo, and Captain Jack. If I used "Andrew" (Lincoln) for example, it becomes a bit trickier.... (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jrdn @ #74197: Un-bay-lievably good grid! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jrdn @ #74196: Absolutely shocking....ly great grid! Well done. (1 year, 8 months ago)

weegieman @ #74195: Excellent. Tightly constructed, all very plausible. Good fun grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

HalJam @ #74199: Not unique. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #74190: Good one, a nice selection of red herrings 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 8 months ago)

Chig @ #74172: Great grid thanks (1 year, 8 months ago)

Lucy @ #54971: Brilliant!! Thank you (1 year, 8 months ago)

gaffer gibson @ #74142: Quick rant. When I put Nato alphabet it's wrong because it's phonetic and the next time phonetic is wrong because it's nato! Rant over thank you. (1 year, 8 months ago)

gaffer gibson @ #74141: The clothing group works as made up of 2 different words! But yours is better. (1 year, 8 months ago)

adw @ #74194: Is this a real grid from OC? Very familiar (1 year, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #74189: Fair with a nice twist, and good red herrings. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #74194: Disagree. I would have classified it as easy. Confetti in less than half time. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74174: @neil I will be crying myself to sleep that you won't be commenting on my grids. Thanks for going byeeeeeee xxx (1 year, 8 months ago)

David @ #74194: Too many tube crossovers for a medium grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74189: 👍👍👍 (1 year, 8 months ago)

David @ #74193: the log line are synonyms for each other, not accounting (1 year, 8 months ago)

Bob @ #74184: At the risk of being a pedant - in the Shania Twain song Elvis DOES impress her much. They made this same error on Only Connect. (1 year, 8 months ago)

weegieman @ #74185: Not bad, I found the Errol Flynn one a bit of a stretch. Just the last word was pushing it a bit. (1 year, 8 months ago)

sparky @ #74168: Lovely grid - cheers (1 year, 8 months ago)

weegieman @ #74178: Thought the house group was a bit weak. Contemporary could be anything. Something like light or ware may have been more satisfying. (1 year, 8 months ago)

sparky @ #74169: Nice and neat - cheers (1 year, 8 months ago)

sparky @ #74173: Lovely grid - enough red herrings to make it interesting - cheers (1 year, 8 months ago)

Loin+El+Richie @ #74177: Best grid ever. (1 year, 8 months ago)

tiger king @ #74189: Enjoyed! (1 year, 8 months ago)

tiger king @ #74190: Nice red herrings. (1 year, 8 months ago)

sparky @ #74174: Enjoyed the grid despite the small errors - it's just a bit of fun guys . Neil - dare I say, always the critic but rarely the contributor?? (1 year, 8 months ago)

sparky @ #74187: Very nice grid - simple and straight to the point. Cheers (1 year, 8 months ago)

sparky @ #74188: Crafty - very nice grid - like the "sound of" group. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74140: Egg one not a problem, but I didn't get the barb group. TBF barbwire is listed in the OED even if only as an Americanism. (1 year, 8 months ago)

sparky @ #74192: Sorry - but all of them have been done to death !! (1 year, 8 months ago)

sparky @ #74190: Lovely grid - nice red herrings - cheers for posting (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #65113: Very slick. Thank you. (1 year, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #74165: Excellent grid. Challenging but achievable and a good variety of connections (1 year, 8 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74187: Great grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74189: Great grid thanks (1 year, 8 months ago)

Charlotte @ #74187: I liked this one as I could do it! I did fail on the final connection though. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #65185: Lenor is not a detergent. Pleasing to solve, thanks! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74189: Nice one. Monarch group is funny. (1 year, 8 months ago)

benj @ #74142: JULIETT IN IPA (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74172: Still didn't allow "dessert". Nor synonym. Lower case, singular. But a nice grid, not too taxing. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Argon Vile @ #74030: I was surprised "Apostles" wasn't accepted for Matthew, Mark Luke and John! But maybe you know something I don't. Great connections and categories, loved this puzzle. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Vix @ #74187: (1 year, 8 months ago)

jodfu4h @ #48867: certainly was a grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ellie @ #73496: Its spelt Altar when its the thing in a church (1 year, 8 months ago)

Pat @ #74179: Terms of affection should have been accepted for fourth group! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Skerm @ #74165: You should be able to accept "word contains every vowel" for the Sequoia category. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74173: Nice one. Not too tricky, but enough crossovers to make it not too simple eoither. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74175: Anagrams, yes, and perhaps allow mollusc. Moon group foxed me completely, annoyed that I missed the kitchen one. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74174: Enjoyable, but yes, could have done better by rewording the clues or the answers. Paradise would have worked better as an answer, the vision one was inconsistent but guessable but needs to be more flexible in definition. (1 year, 8 months ago)

F @ #74184: Challenging but fun, managed the connections, struggled on the categories (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74179: Never heard of treacle in that context. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74176: I really enjoyed that one. Very satisfying (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74175: You may need to edit your description for the gastropod group. Slug with its last letter at the beginning would be gslu. If you say they are all anagrams it works. Otherwise a good but challenging wall. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74173: A really enjoyable one. And I think I'm getting better as I got confetti! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74172: A nice simple warm up grid for the morning. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Osier @ #71384: Top grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

David Rees @ #74049: Fantastic grid. I just couldn’t see the Fragrant clue! (1 year, 8 months ago)

weegieman @ #74174: Somewhat shaky. Eden doesn't really fit the criteria, as several solvers have pointed out. And strictly speaking it should be blurred or blurry, blur is not an adjective. Still quite a fun grid, but needs tightening (1 year, 8 months ago)

weegieman @ #74177: Nice and neat, good one. Share quibble about Warwick, but not a big deal. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Dahlia @ #74171: Really enjoyed this :-) (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #65394: We know. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid @ #65421: It's fine, thank you. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #74176: Well put together, fun grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74168: Actually to be fair Apple and Blackberry don’t manufacture either Foxconn made both - so I guess it works as it is (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #74179: Good stuff! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74174: Since pedantry is required to complete grids you should expect it in the comments It is not pedantry it is accuracy and rather the point I do hope you enjoy writing them but I won’t be playing yours anymore No fun in wasting time on grids with inaccurate answers which and a writer who lashes out at perfectly reasonable comments Goodbye (1 year, 8 months ago)

JB920 @ #73941: @Alison 👍 it's my favorite (1 year, 8 months ago)

Trix @ #74171: Nice TY (1 year, 8 months ago)

MS @ #74176: Thx for the grid. Very enjoyable grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74168: I’d edit pixel out and swap it for another (eg - Motorola - Nokia - Ericsson - Vivo - HTC etc ) - it’s not like it’s an overlap - but Pixel is neither a manufacturer nor a model - it’s a range of products marketed by and developed by Google with manufacturing by multiple companies Otherwise another fun grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jericho @ #74173: Thanks Nighteyes. Corrected. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74172: Sweet grid 😏 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Anastase @ #74155: Good grid. I wasted time trying to find 'The Man from.......' (1 year, 8 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74174: Eden was where God put the first humans before banishing them. If it wasn't heaven it was at least adjacent to heaven, a heaven annex or granny flat if you like. Either way if you transend earth people often describe wanting to be in Eden. It fits the group and all the pedantry nonsense written here by people I assume got the group right anyway won't stop my enjoyment of writing further grids that may not be perfect in everyone's eyes. Hope you enjoy them x (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74174: Got it because it wouldn’t go anywhere else - but Eden is the biblical location of the origin of human life - not a synonym for the after life - it accepted synonyms for paradise but that’s stretching it really Otherwise a fun grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74175: It was a bit tricky getting the connections but I really enjoyed it. Thanks (1 year, 8 months ago)

skinny @ #74163: Tx grammars I’ve added it in. (1 year, 8 months ago)

David @ #73990: This is a british grid, we don't have all purpose flour or all purpose seasoning, they are americanisms (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74122: @Richard, that's almost a rule here. @Toferino, yeah, I couldn't find a good way to describe it either, tried cereal crop harvest measure, didn't work. Fact is that they're not actually synonyms, just variations on a theme. But I gave myself the points anyway. (1 year, 8 months ago)

David @ #74133: the over one can also be followed by ER, the oven one is strange. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #48612: Very good. All made sense, and a nice easy one to solve. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #36791: Really good grid, except that ski could swap from the glove group with luge,skeleton,or snowboard in the winter sports group, as all three of them can also be types of glove. Unfortunately that means there are at least three four equally valid solutions to the grid, as it stands,so, great ideas, but not a good grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Chris Ditchfield @ #74133: First one isn't board but is preceded by Over (1 year, 8 months ago)

Superdolly @ #74100: A joy (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74110: If you were not alive in the 70s 80s or 90s or at least in the UK in those times, you will struggle. Otherwise easy and gettable (1 year, 8 months ago)

Rob @ #74110: Cunning grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

Phil @ #74117: Great grid really enjoyed it thanks (1 year, 8 months ago)

Toferino @ #74122: Nice grid, original ideas, not too easy, not too difficult, but didn't recognise some of my descriptions. So I got all the groups but not the full points. In fairness, for the bushel group, I just put 'hay' as I couldn't think how else! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Toferino @ #74119: Enjoyable grid. Impressed with myself that I got the 'wordy' group. Missed the musicians. Furious with myself. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74122: Great grid really enjoyed it thanks (1 year, 8 months ago)

Rich @ #74110: If you are outside of the British Isles, this one might be rough for you… (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #52940: Very good. Nice, quick solve, after sorting the first group. Loved all the metal red herrings. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Richard @ #74112: Annoyingly clever! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Richard @ #74122: Can you have synonyms for a word that is in another group? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #54639: All word based/wordplay groups three were 'goes before' links. Not much fun (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #28993: 8 leg group is very stupid (1 year, 8 months ago)

sparky @ #74117: Cheers - nice neat grid !! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74116: To keep up a tradition on here - the connections were also all words contains letters - do you think you should allow that? (1 year, 8 months ago)

AJC @ #74116: Joke's on you... you spelt Ramsay Street wrong ;-) (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74116: I wondered who would do this - seems it was you - I guessed quite quickly and just let the clock do the rest ! (1 year, 8 months ago)

123 @ #74113: Nice ty (1 year, 8 months ago)

Midge @ #70025: It would be good if you included biblical places in your link, also Balthazar and Caspar aren't in the Gospels. The names and numbers of the magi are from a much later tradition. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Andy @ #74080: Yesss lad! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Puddles @ #74102: Thanks! TBH, the only red herrings I planned were Meg Ryan and Kramden. The other two were serendipitous. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Andy @ #74110: Not hard, but very enjoyable. The quiz master is either my dad, or UK TV Gold (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74102: The herrings are very clever, perhaps a little wasted? I suddenly remembered your penchant for anags and the grid fell into place. Very clever, well constructed and I will forego my confetti because I did not get the crystal connection straight away. TY (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74077: Just had to put "myself" in the conceited line. Nice puzz. (1 year, 8 months ago)

fi @ #74110: liked this one, got the confetti that another grids pickiness robbed me of. thank you Jonnyboy. (1 year, 8 months ago)

fi @ #74065: like george said, words that mean.....Theft, robbed of my confetti! outrage!!! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #74068: Good grid. Writers would be better as a couple are novelists as well (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #74066: TV channels would have been nice for the non US players (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #74053: I'm awarding myself confetti for putting volcanoes! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Toferino @ #74080: Enjoyable on the whole, I spotted all the connections but I failed to solve a single category, simply because there are far too many legitimate permutations. Too many ways you can form different but equally valid groups. I could've continued for another 30 minutes and made more and more ways to connect them. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #74096: Really nice grid. Nice mix with lateral thinking and general knowledge. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Josie @ #74077: One of the more enjoyable grids (1 year, 8 months ago)

Them! @ #74073: Fun! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74090: Great grid. At first I had no idea of any connections but managed to get 2 at least. Really enjoyed it thanks for sharing. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74091: Tough one but really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74100: Great grid. Thanks for sharing (1 year, 8 months ago)

David @ #74091: What are a gribble and a Sea Slater? This is a medium grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

George @ #74063: Very good. I agree a bit easy but nice to complete (1 year, 8 months ago)

Chig @ #74096: Excellent grid. A mixture if themes to suit everyone and I felt challenged but not like a fool. This was the perfect grid for me and I can't thank you enough. A great start to my weekend. (1 year, 8 months ago)

George @ #74065: "Taking something that doesn't belong to you"??????????????????????????????????????? (1 year, 8 months ago)

George @ #74091: Good grid. Didn't get the crustaceans! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74069: Thanks @sparky I am happy you enjoyed it and that someone else realises things cant always be perfect but still fun. (1 year, 8 months ago)

a @ #74062: Sorry, that can be read sarcastically. It was not. This is a good quiz just could use help to improve accuracy. (1 year, 8 months ago)

a @ #74062: Champagne/Champaign but also Holliday/Holiday to fit. Good quiz! (1 year, 8 months ago)

a @ #74067: I think it would have to be Elisabeth not Elizabeth to fit (1 year, 8 months ago)

weegieman @ #74070: Perhaps a tad niche. Reduces the fun element for the mathematically illiterate (innumerate?) like me. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74090: Very clever and confusing, but solvable and consistent. Nicely constructed and fun. Thank you! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74080: I loved the ideas and great general knowledge, but Newton, Ohm and Faraday in the Laws group can all directly swap with Joule, Pascal and Ampere in the 'scientists with units named after them' group, so the the number of equally valid solutions is in double figures. (1 year, 8 months ago)

CSS @ #74063: Very fun! Maybe a little easy for medium (1 year, 8 months ago)

CSS @ #74065: Good grid but could use a little more finesse on the guessing links. Some i knew and answered something that would be correct on the show, but weren't allowed here (1 year, 8 months ago)

CSS @ #74068: Very fun grid! Really enjoyed that one (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74077: Nice and simple. Very enjoyable, thanks. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #27250: I put party for the card group, which could work (1 year, 8 months ago)

Meh @ #74075: Leander's s definitely a real name, Ace, and quite an ancient one, though not very fashionable these days. It was actually the first thing I thought of for that line. Google it. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74075: @ Ace it's not a recent name, unless you think 2000 years is recent, and it's pretty well known, just not often used these days in England. I was at school with someone, in the '80s with a Leander,so it kind of leapt it out at me. Personally l thought Caco and Geri were more obscure and their group link was more contrived -still solved it though. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74075: @H it's just that I don't believe Leander is a 'real' name; if it is used as a name then it must be very recent and very unusual. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74029: Nice one. I liked the multiple overlaps. Some lower case/singular answers, e.g. sock, seemed to be unnacceptable. (1 year, 8 months ago)

skinny @ #74068: Good (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74058: Not great. just 3 out of 4 movies really linked, no real internal connection between the books either, and Across the Universe is NOT about space. Worst of all, it's the Beatles, not the Beetles. ;-) (1 year, 8 months ago)

sparky @ #74073: I like it - a bit different - cheers (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74065: Please allow synonym for the 'words that mean...' group. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74069: @Don, No, the administrative centre may have moved there, but the definition of County Town is not legally set down, just traditionally meaning the most important town(or city) in the county, and historically usually the one that gives it its name. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #74075: I think you just invented a name. If you're going to use them they should be ones in common usage across time, not just trendy at the moment (always assuming that it is). (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ro @ #74054: Good grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ro @ #74073: Good fun. (1 year, 8 months ago)

O @ #74049: Bidental was a bit too obvious of a clue for my liking (1 year, 8 months ago)

Skerm @ #74049: Really enjoyed that. Fantastic grid. Disappointed in my 6 score, stupidly ran out of lives! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Kitty @ #74049: I'm fine with US politicians AND mixing them up at the start, end and middle of words. just makes you work harder :-) Good grid. Snooker group very tough for me but I'm sure not for others (1 year, 8 months ago)

Don @ #74069: I'm afraid, Nighteyes, that the county town of Derbyshire is Matlock. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71938: Nice ideas with good scope for redherrings, but only two groups worked, while the others were inconsistent and had entries that didn't belong. Darken doesn't mean gloom or low levels light - those are both nouns; darken is a verb. Nirvana isn't a location in Indian religions, it's just the idea of the soul's release from the cycle of reincarnation. You could change the link to 'afterlife' so Nirvana fitted,but then Arcadia wouldn't fit, as it's a mythical or idealised poetic location, with no connection to the afterlife. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74071: Terrifically difficult and well constructed, but Rebus and Morse are swappable between their respective groups, so it has at least two equally valid solutions. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Brud @ #73152: Finally, something I can solve. Hahaha (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #74069: Agree with night eyes. I guess a red herring for the sauce round was supposed to be Worcester, but it is Worcestershire. Having said all that it's a fun grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #52475: I can't believe Canadians call their coins toonies and loonies. Come on, be self aware, jfc (1 year, 8 months ago)

M.mouse @ #74053: Did not accept Uncle or Mt (1 year, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #74069: Derby etc are also county towns. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #74053: If the connection is just “Mount” there are two interchangeable solutions with crossed and fully interchangeable red herrings - if the connection is volcano there is only one solution - that’s actually how I solved it - so I’d tend to agree - Volcano has to be the connection and mounts should not really be allowed. Otherwise a very satisfying grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

Noegginmybeard @ #73957: You might like to widen the scope of your answers as “Contain units of weight measurement “ was incorrect as was “UK place names” both of which are near enough for me to mentally tick as correct. An enjoyable grid otherwise. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74056: Great grid thanks for sharing 👍 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74062: Really hard bit a great grid. Thanks for sharing (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #74053: Generally great grid, but suggest you allow volcano for mount group, as these are all well known as that! (1 year, 8 months ago)

malcolm @ #74027: I got the connections, but I'm not sure patroll or metall are valid words (1 year, 8 months ago)

malcolm @ #74049: would have preferred UK politicians rather than US, in a UK grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74049: Good grid, but I agree with Jericho about hidden words, also you blow up balloons, rather than just blow them, so I think bubbles would be a better fit for the group. (1 year, 8 months ago)

sparky @ #73972: Easy no nonsense grid - thanks for posting. (1 year, 8 months ago)

jragon @ #74030: o_O you are very correct and I had a huge brain fart. I put in your change. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jericho @ #74049: Not a bad grid, but I think words-within-words should be either all at the start, all at the end, or all in the middle. (1 year, 8 months ago)

o_O @ #74030: Untouched Serve does not fit into its group. Something like "Blood Pump" would. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wavydot @ #73577: Link descriptions are way too specific (1 year, 8 months ago)

Chris Ditchfield @ #73987: Attar?? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Paul Redmond @ #60401: Agree with Gnu - should accept just American States (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73987: Good fun, and good/interesting ideas, but too many (three out of four) word play/word alteration links and one very obscure entry (atta). Can't tell if it was well constructed or not. Two red herring groups, and so many red herrings for each link mean I can't be bothered to work out whether there are swappable answers. Solved by luck rather than skill. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Alison @ #73961: It’s worse than I thought. It seems we’re required to completely match your wording/spelling, including the full stop. No wonder it’s fiendish 😉 (1 year, 8 months ago)

gergo @ #73821: gergo (1 year, 8 months ago)

Alison @ #73961: Nice grid, but you need greater flexibility on the naming of the groups. I got them all correct, but was only awarded 1 point for naming the groups (1 year, 8 months ago)

Osier @ #73933: Very good grid. Nice mix of topics and red herrings. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fun @ #73958: Nice grid! I feel that 'Yesterday' doesn't quite fit into its group, and was there primarily to make 'Tomorrow' a more convincing red herring. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Finn @ #73938: Very enjoyable. More please (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72025: Not really my kind of groups- I could only get one link even after the wall resolved. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73942: Nice and straightforward to solve, though I had to think hard about the precise links once it was done. Great fun, thank you. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73946: Good groups, maybe too many red herrings and obscure items for the groups. Only managed to sort the final two groups because of Red Quiver. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Trix @ #73939: sorry I had only corrected it in one box, thanks for letting me know. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #73932: @Nikki - I often have the opposite gripe. If they are synonyms then nothing else needs adding. It’s not reasonable to expect anyone to guess which fifth synonym the grid writer had in mind I’ve too often been marked wrong because I used a perfectly good fifth synonym the writer hadn’t thought of - nor is it reasonable to expect a grid writer to think of every possibly synonym Synonyms are synonyms of each other by definition and no more should ever be required So I applaud Eidya for being sensible (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wavydot @ #73855: Got there more by luck than judgement. Left with 8 answers and several combinations that would have worked equally well for the final 2 groups. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #73939: Good fun, but I don't understand the "follows wear" solution. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Heather @ #70449: I have to agree that the homophones aren't homophones. Maybe only if you've got a heavy urban street London accent which does pronounce "th" like "f", but that's not good enough for a wall connection. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Heather @ #73906: I said "cat to dog" for the word ladder... maybe something like that should be accepted? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73929: Good ideas, logical and fairly simple/quick to solve. It's a shame some links were over specifically and/or wrongly worded. The 'Old Trades' are also professions that are surnames,and two of the 'famous Stevens' group (McQueen & Sondheim) are actually Stephens, which was rejected. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73928: Golfer119 - I know two Tanias and one Tanya, I still didn't solve the grid though - my technical knowledge of geography was lacking. I saw the word based groups, but couldn't sort red herrings out. Frustrating (1 year, 8 months ago)

count-snackula @ #73674: good grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73910: Nice and simple, a quick solve. I have only minor quibble - 'turn in' means 'go to bed', not 'sleep', so isn't really a synonym for sleep, any of the other things in the group,even though it didn't make the grid impossible to solve. It was good fun anyway. Thank you. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73926: Nice and straightforward (maybe I just didn't notice red herrings). Good ideas, and link terms broad enough to allow wiggle room. Fun. Thank you (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jarah @ #73915: Really good (1 year, 8 months ago)

Omegaman+ @ #73852: Signs of brands wasn’t correct but synonyms for brand is. I don’t consider these are synonyms so perhaps the allowable answers need expanding. Similarly the stairs group are ways of going up or down more than ways of moving through a building. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #73893: The emotions group (which I got ) could also be described as the three contrived word combinations that are obviously going to include hidden words - then find the fourth - like doing the hidden in plain site round on House Of Games - the contrived word pairings reveal most of the group without needing to spot the solution Still lost on the presidents two are obvious but no idea on the other two (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ben @ #73909: Loved this one! Very good. (1 year, 8 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73912: Nice grid; quite an easy solve, but satisfying. Didn't accept "elements" as an answer, though. :-( (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ben @ #73912: Good grid 👍 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #73902: Rincewind isn’t actually a Wizard - in fact he can’t even spell Wizard - with the word Wizzard spelled out in sequins on his hat With one of the great spells hiding in his head no other spell could stick and he couldn’t perform magic - his main skill was running away !! Still easy enough to know what group to put him in though And a fun grid … (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #73910: Contains my pet peeve. If they are synonyms they are synonyms of each other by definition - no further qualification should be required - to make this one worse - turn in does not actually fit (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #73892: Too tough for me. TY (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #73905: Table table is a chain of restaurants often attached to Premier Inns as they are also owned by Whitbread - their menus are pretty much identical to Beafeater restaurants - also owned by Whitbread and like Beafeaters there are hundreds of them. Marilyn’s are little mountains - one down from a Munro - also hundreds of them in the UK - people go Marilyn bagging and if you collect 600 you get a hill walkers equivalent of a Blue Peter badge I find I don’t like Sparky grids on the whole - too much tendency to overdo the permutations and include painfully obscure elements - but this one was decent and totally legit - nothing obscure about Table Table or Marilyns - my only reservation is I have seen that connection before somewhere maybe on Only Connect (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73893: Really good, but tea and coffee can be directly swapped between groups teapot/teacake, coffeepot/coffee cake, so there are at least two different, equally valid solutions to the grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73903: Interesting grid. I've only heard of one of the Ross group (are the other shows aired on UK Freeview TV?)and I thought Billy was a male goat, not specifically a young one. Nice ideas for though. (1 year, 8 months ago)

malcolm @ #73903: Slight quibble : this is categorised as a UK grid, but one of your categories has 3 US based answers (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #73891: Very challenging. Especially as I've never heard of cat mint or or horse mint. I am not sure that Bob fits in anagrams of boys names. That implies that Obb or Bbo is a name.

Malcontent @ #73888: Brilliant grid. I fluked solving it, separating the Hoddle and Miami groups accidentally on my penultimate life, but I just didn't know the Miami group even when it was sitting in front of me. Great fun, challenging and interesting though. Very well constructed band thought through. Thank you (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73882: @Nikki It'll be Rock, Eccles, Flan and Gum. You missed them because they don't really hang together very well as a group. Sweet or dessert is pretty vague a link, but even with that, the way the items fit the group is inconsistent. Flan, Rock and Gum (which I don't really think fits) work on their own, while Eccles needs 'cake' added so it's not just the name of a town. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73883: Very easy to solve once I got used to the lack of consistency within the links, but not very satisfying. Having the link for one group be 'add or change a letter to make...' and another link ' contain names OR homonyms of', seems a bit loose. (1 year, 9 months ago)

CornWoman @ #73861: Enjoyable, but I do think it's a little strange that one group is just of cardinal directions in general, rather than just one specific one. It might have been nice to have all four cardinal directions represented in that group as well, just to complete the set of four. After all, that's what we love! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Eclo @ #73881: Hiya, in response to the Gaiety question, it's supposed to be a Homonym of Gate-y, but the extra diphthong does confuse things. Thanks for the feedback! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73880: Too hard for me. It all makes sense when resolved, and with the explanations, but just looks like lots of bits of London. I got two. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #73874: I commented on read it but I want to add a little more here. It's a good wall. The Larry's may be a little US specific. And as I said there I never heard of witch grass. I think it was unfortunately hard but definitely well put together. All the right red herrings, But I guarantee you none of the Brits thought of Larry Bird or Larry Brown. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73865: I disagree with malcontent this time - what makes them unique is they are the only 4 Galilean moons of Jupiter A lot of the moons of Jupiter are named after people raped by Zeus. Rape is featured so heavily in Greek mythology it seems like it’s a mistranslation. However the Jovian moon naming system makes that connection far too general. Great group overlaps - good connections - 5 stars (very rare from me!) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73855: Rhubarb is a vegetable not a fruit However it was legally classed as a fruit in parts of the USA for tax avoidance purposes But tax loophole creating legal shenanigans in the USA don’t actually change the fact that it is a vegetable Such an easy grid meant it didn’t really matter … (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #73868: Nice grid. Tested my turner prize knowledge to the max as I'm not familiar with one of them. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73852: Lift and ramp being fully interchangeable isn’t really a red herring Logic can’t be used to determine which goes in which group and both the solution and connections are correct Creating commutative connections is quite clever - bit doesn’t work in the framework of the site’s systems The same applies when a word is used twice - the system isn’t good enough to handle it so it’s best avoided (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73865: Nice and simple, but those moons of Jupiter are all named after people raped by Zeus, so it would be good if that answer was acceptable too. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #73869: Fanlight is a kind of window. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Heather @ #73869: "followed by" water should be "preceded by" water. "prefixed by" light should be "followed by" light. "followed by" gas should be "preceded by" gas. "rose" was the only answer given in the correct order. I'd never heard of a watering can rose. I googled and it's a real thing. Maybe it's more common that I thought? And I usually hear them refered to as "ceiling fans with lights" but not the term "fan light". Having all the clues be the same type (followed or preceded by another word) made this a bit on the boring side, along with the incorrectly phrased answers makes this a lower score from me, sorry.

David @ #73836: This is an excellent grid (1 year, 9 months ago)

skinny @ #73855: good gridwork (1 year, 9 months ago)

gridlington @ #73850: Hmm... it's usually forward roll, not front roll. I would also suggest that whilst Tomato, Lettuce and Cheese are sandwich fillings, butter isn't quite in the same category... (1 year, 9 months ago)

sparky @ #73853: Thanks gridlington, hopefully I've corrected that now- cheers. (1 year, 9 months ago)

mudri @ #73850: Why “front” instead of “forward”? (1 year, 9 months ago)

gridlington @ #73853: Nice one. The "animals" one won't accept "animals" as an answer. (1 year, 9 months ago)

sparky @ #73852: That's the red herring (1 year, 9 months ago)

Sarah @ #73854: (1 year, 9 months ago)

Chris @ #73852: Lift and ramp can be interchanged giving 2 solutions (1 year, 9 months ago)

mudri @ #73644: I guess it's for the Beatles songs: Yellow [Submarine], Eleanor [Rigby], &c. I don't know what “RH” stands for, though. (1 year, 9 months ago)

mudri @ #73733: Didn't accept “gas” for the first line, despite it being more specific than the expected answer. Also, it seems a bit silly that you can complete the grid just by picking all the 1-letter answers, then the 2-letter answers, before having to actually think. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #73825: Racecourses is too specific, they're all just towns as well. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73845: Jupiter’s moons beyond the Galilean ones are all named ( where they have names) using a system relating to descendants of Zeus and Jupiter (with one exception which was a lover of Jupiter I think ) - there are automatically non Jupiter’s moon related connections because of the way the naming system works. They almost completely overlap Greek mythology as a result It’s also a very big set - 90 plus moons many of which are now named I fluked on it really - it just became a mathematical guessing game only possible by resisting the temptation to select the two obvious groups Definitely a fiendish - but not five stars from me - close but not quite because of the above (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73839: Great fun and lovely ideas, but it doesn't work as a grid. Fall and storm are interchangeable between the snow and rain groups, so there are at least two equally valid solutions to the grid (1 year, 9 months ago)

Midge @ #73831: That was fun, except for the pear group being wrong. There's no such thing as a Barlett pear, it's Bartlett, which was confusing and wasted time (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73845: Nice grid, great groups well constructed. The Europa group is all people raped by Zeus, as well. Apart from that,a really good grid. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73833: Flavour was on yesterdays House of Games or I’d have missed that altogether … Good grid (1 year, 9 months ago)

David Rees @ #73833: Fantastic grid - loved the Flavor connection. (1 year, 9 months ago)

gridlington @ #73833: Good job you updated - I said "citrus fruit"! Got everything but the Flavor row (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73825: Nope - they are not F1 (or any other motorsport) starting position. Pole and Grid are locations not positions and back is just a description - and they are not unique to F1- ok you allowed just F1 to score the point - but this connection was weak and not up to your usual standards. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Enzed @ #73836: Nice. A bit of fun. Fairly easy once you get the idea (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73815: Malcontent has a point - even inspector didn’t score (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #73828: Woah, that was challenging. Many red herrings (1 year, 9 months ago)

skinny @ #73833: cheers fairy, updated .. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #73833: Really good one. One of your best! I'd just say that technically they aren't all varieties of orange, so I would edit to allow citrus fruits. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Freddgar @ #73833: Good one, very nice red herring(s) Didn't get the Flavor row You win 10-7 Thanks for posting (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73831: Please correct Barlett to Bartlett. I saw the Bartlett group link , but almost ran out of lives because I thought Barlett was a red herring rather than an error. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #73800: Ghost etc could all precede cake? Rice cake (pointless) Christmas and chocolate of course and ghost cake, one you thought was there but when you go for a slice it has vanished. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Arcadian @ #73822: Tough enough but fair and good! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Heather @ #73674: Extremely easy but definitely UK-centric. Don't know any of those Cadbury products on this side of the pond. As this was listed as the grid of the week, it didn't give a flag hinting at the centricity. Ah well. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Heather @ #73788: I'd never heard of "criminal damage" as a distinct term. Did some googling and it looks like a British usage. Ah well. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jericho @ #73746: "Nyala" is one of the best red herrings I've seen, with the added bonus of giving smug pedants the thrill of spotting the apparent misspelling. I very nearly fell for it, too. Confetti time! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jericho @ #73770: Yes, Malcontent, they've got to be reasonably obvious missing links for it to work. We could do with a way of signposting grids with cryptic clues. They can be a lot of fun if you know what you're getting into, but very frustrating if you don't realise the intention. I was relying heavily on "Time Tennis" giving the game away, tbh. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jericho @ #73788: I see your point now, Neil, but just "films" would be a bit of a loose connection, especially with a more specific group of them in the same grid. Cobra was Stallone, btw. ;) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Chas @ #73818: Great grid (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73797: Not sure I agree about wolf. In most northern English accents at least, it really doesn't belong in this group, and I'm pretty sure that there are a couple of US regional accents for which it wouldn't work either. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Richard @ #73812: Aftnauti? All felt a bit tenuous tbh (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73812: What does Aftnauti mean? I've Googled it, but got no matching results? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Finn @ #73694: Nice grid....we'll done (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73118: Fun. Nice quick solve, but I only scored seven - quite proud not to have got the Danny link. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73780: Please correct Rupunzel to Rapunzel. I excluded that for ages from the group and was looking for hidden words/ misspellings. Probably well constructed, but only one of the groups was based on anything I'm vaguely interested, one was pretty vague, and two very specifically based on niches I've no interest in at all, so not really for me. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Finn @ #73725: Niiice (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73770: Good grid. Great ideas and well constructed. I'm not a big fan of whole missing linkword grids, especially with so many clever red herring possible answers for the individual clues, as it's just too many layers of things to solve and remember while trying to find things that match, in the time. This was fun though and I (literally only just) managed it in the three minutes. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73811: Too clever for me. I preferred the red herring group to the actual links. The Jane group was a bit specific/niche/obscure. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73804: Very clever but so many possible connections and different possible groups that solutions to the grid that there are several valid solutions. Not sure having four groups of US presidents linked in different ways will result in a grid that has only one possible solution. Two of these groups mixed with other other groups would be great I got the assassinated group (but assassinated wasn't accepted as a link?), and the multiple presidents with the same name group - but I stumbled on the correct combinations by pure luck rather than logically excluding others. I was confused by Reagan being spelled Regan - so wasted the rest of my time, and my guesses for connections on non-president links. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73809: Nice and quick to solve. Took ages to work out the pier link though - I was about to Google 'words beginning pier', when I saw it. Clever. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73804: BTW - are you British as the flag on this grid implies or American as the flag on grids of the same name and contents of this grid imply ? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73804: Did you realise there are 1820 ways to make connections of four American presidents from this grid I could see assassinated - but couldn’t get them all I thought there might have been a Sweeney connection which would have been clever Regan & Carter but it turns out you just spelled Reagan incorrectly Mount Rushmore might have helped us non USA o files ! For me this was a grid that was too clever for its own good - with me spending too much time looking for a connection based on a misspelling (1 year, 9 months ago)

James in NZ @ #73806: Reagan is misspelled (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73788: Nicely done - Cobra had me scratching my head - I couldn’t get past films and that group are all films Cobra with Arnie, Cocktail with cruise, Bullseye with Michael Caine and Rampage with Dwayne Johnson - pushing fiendish as a result …. But stuck to hard :) bit frustrating that a full group has two full connections kept it off a 5 star (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73776: Nice. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73788: Please correct the 'Bulllseye'. The typo had me looking for other misspellings as a link. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Meh @ #73792: Sorry it's not all sport, pop music and Oscar winners, Toferino. There's nothing in there that I thought was a niche or obscure subject, or requiring madly in-depth knowledge. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73792: Excellent. Well constructed, nice red herrings, and interesting link with good mix of general knowledge, vocabulary and wordplay. Nothing too obscure. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Toferino @ #73788: Took a while, but once the connnections were spotted it was easy to solve. Nice grid with good crossovers. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Darrin @ #73800: Nice one a few tricky ones there. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Toferino @ #73800: Novel connections, but again perhaps a little too niche for a general audience. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Cam @ #73800: Bloody great grid. Really enjoyed it. Very challenging. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Toferino @ #73792: Nice connections but maybe a little niche? Not easy for a general audience. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Toferino @ #73594: Thanks all for your feedback. I think as a puzzle setter, you never want your puzzle to be unsolvable, it must be enjoyable to solve. Even if it's a little too easy! I'll try to make the next one equally as enjoyable but perhaps more of a challenge... (1 year, 9 months ago)

Omegaman+ @ #73748: Tit cannot be incorrect as that is what they are called singularly. I was unaware of the Ground Tit but that is because I’ve not been to the Tibetan Plateau but still got the groups and all the connections except tit(s). (1 year, 9 months ago)

Arcadian @ #73725: Good grid! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73753: @Paul and saving Mr Banks and saving Grace. Not a great missing word link,as they're not all the same word. I wondered about the France thing too. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Ben @ #73725: Good one, nice and straightforward (1 year, 9 months ago)

Ben @ #73694: Edited to include Oscars in the accepted answers, sorry! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Arcadian @ #73731: Good but nothing more annoying than having one of the words contained in a word at the start rather than the end. Generally on the TV show they are one or the other! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Superdolly @ #73733: I was surprised you have a Union Flag but use the US spelling of Sulphur! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Superdolly @ #73750: Wouldn't accept uncle in the singular, not sure I always like the hidden names when those names are shortened forms! But nevertheless enjoyed. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #73731: Good wall, just the right level of challenging (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #73733: The answers you want are very specific. For example I recognised that they were symbols for chemical elements, but that they were also non-metals? Without Victoria Coren Mitchell asking you to be more specific it's hard to know how specific you need to be. I also put just known my initials and didn't get it. But that's me probably. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #73740: Excellent grid. Needed a lot longer to try and figure out the clues. In the end I settled for just getting the connections! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #73743: Very challenging and great idea. Your places/cities group wouldn't take cities as an option so may need to amend that. Also I think the song is April Come She Will if you mean the Simon and Garfunkel one? Otherwise excellent. 😊 (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #73746: Really nice one. Very challenging as my knowledge of antelope is not as good as it could be. I knew Oryx! But good wall (1 year, 9 months ago)

Finbarr Saunders @ #73731: Ears??....Spine?? .. I had somewhat ..different anagrams.. fnarrfnarr (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73732: @Angie - Jeeves did act as a butler on occasion - although not for Bertie Wooster - but as Bertie said - “ he can buttle with the best of them". So fair game I reckon (1 year, 9 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #73711: I believe Susie Dent would permit 2 coffees, but I still prefer Julie Walters/Victoria Wood's " 2 soups". ;) TY (1 year, 9 months ago)

Kirsty @ #73733: BMW, QVC, etc… are initialisms not acronyms. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Freddgar @ #73727: Good grid, nice red herrings 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 9 months ago)

Angie @ #73732: Sorry to say that Jeeves wasn’t a butler. He was a valet, a “gentleman’s personal gentleman”. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Kay @ #73626: Graph group connection is pretty weak. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Andrew @ #73731: Good. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Loma @ #73727: I had a different answer for sear... Also, another one that ended in the same letter would have been better for the Tog group. Samo? Malt? Ghan? (1 year, 9 months ago)

O @ #73721: No grid of the day should ever be solved without any false moves. I agree with Meh. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #73712: Very clever (1 year, 9 months ago)

Paul @ #73721: Loved it (even though it took only 25 seconds!). And nice connection between france and the classic rhyme: Un petit d’un petit!. (1 year, 9 months ago)

David @ #73093: First names of tellytubbies 😂 (1 year, 9 months ago)

David @ #73142: It's not synonyms for glasses, it's nicknames, and the Man U one is far too specific. (1 year, 9 months ago)

David @ #73632: musical groups starting The not accepted? (1 year, 9 months ago)

David @ #73658: egg flip? (1 year, 9 months ago)

David @ #73715: Mustelids on a medium grid, and not members of the weasel family? Also, there are far too many in the conjunctions and _ward category that can make new words with an E added or a T added. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Chris Ditchfield @ #73719: Never watched two of the series so next to impossible to guess. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73726: Nice mix of different types of link, but some a bit too involved to spot in the time. It felt like everything was a red herring for another group. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Daxw @ #73694: Nice one. Yeah, I also went for British Oscar winners actually (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73716: Solved it quite quickly, but had no idea what the links were for the third & fourth groups. (1 year, 9 months ago)

jho @ #73715: definitions are far too specific. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Ro @ #73712: Great fun (1 year, 9 months ago)

A Different Tom @ #73711: Whether or not they are being strictly grammatically correct when they do so, people do use all four 'uncountable' nouns in countable forms, with coffee being the most obvious one, so that is a poor category whatever you might want to argue! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Blue light card @ #73722: Wedding Ringo really ?????????? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Blue light card @ #73724: Iron Chicken ???????? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Tom @ #73695: Nice variety in the groups and good red herrings. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Hamburger @ #73711: @Tom - To count or quantify an uncountable noun we use a unit of measurement - a measure word. For example, we cannot usually say “two coffees” because “coffee” is uncountable. So, if we want to specify a quantity of coffee we use a measure word such as “cup” or “teaspoon” in a structure like “two cups of coffee” or “two teaspoons of coffee”. This is a partitive structure. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Tom @ #73711: I'm afraid I've got to side with Neil, it's completely normal to order 'two coffees' or 'two waters' in a restaurant so that's misleading. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73712: Nice. Simple enough once I realised that all the groups had exactly the same kind of link, with a similar theme. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Tom @ #73716: Good, but could do with some red herrings. It wasn't hard to work out the groups even if you weren't sure the exact connection. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Tom @ #73722: Clever, but 'Wedding Ringo' is a bit of a cheat. (1 year, 9 months ago)

H @ #73722: Who's Paul Simons? (1 year, 9 months ago)

DH @ #73722: I really enjoyed this one, clever (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73722: Let yourself down on the Beatles - Wedding Ringo ? And using Starr in the link.. here’s a thought - use his real first name - say Little / Branson - trouble with that is Paul is not McCartney’s first name… it’s James - say PD / Taylor but that might be a step too far …. Not helping much am I ? - So close but no cigar (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73719: Not keen on tv series characters - easy if you’ve watched it - impossible if you’ve not Sure Wodehouse is a book series too - but all gettable from Fry an Laurie’s tv version For me it was easy (not very easy because I’ve not seen one of the series ) For others it will be fiendish A grid you either know or you don’t. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Ben @ #73719: Feels a bit too niche, but I guess you only know it if you know it! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Dahlia @ #73721: Fun! (1 year, 9 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #73677: Neat grid! 👍 (1 year, 9 months ago)

Hamburger @ #73711: @Neil You can't count breads, you can count slices or loaves of bread. You can have two cups of coffee or two grains of coffee, but not two coffees. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73711: There are a few other examples of uncountable nouns that are often used in countable form in modern usage Sugar is another for example (And yes a cheated with bread and soap) - but there are many examples that remain uncountable - eg. Electricity (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73711: And after that can we have some of those little hotel soaps to wash our hands with (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73711: I’ll have two coffees, three waters and five garlic breads please (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73709: Some of these are too tenuous to work for me For example, Logic does not mean nor imply common sense. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mahir @ #73715: There are more connections than the ones posted or some are maybe a bit too specific. Like Heraldic colours but not colours. I get it if it was the semis of Only Connect but outside of that that's quite harsh. Good grid though. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #73694: Agree with other comments, however a very good grid. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mahir @ #73674: This was brilliant. (1 year, 9 months ago)

skinny @ #73708: poor (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73707: Very well constructed. Very confusing and frustrating. The boucle group is a bit niche/obscure, but guessable. Other groups all make sense but so many red herrings. (1 year, 9 months ago)

january @ #73661: nice thing (1 year, 9 months ago)

mal @ #73674: Very easy but fine, nice to have a rarer category (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73705: Nice grid. All the groups made sense and worked well, no ridiculously obscure knowledge needed, but it wasn't too obvious. Nicely constructed. Thank you. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73700: @Bonifica - I didn't say the Holt group was wrong, I just meant it was obscure. I stand by my comment on the homophones group. In many (I'd say most) accents, Tuesday is pronounced 'Tyoozday' not 'Chooseday'. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #73664: Looked at this blankly for ages, maybe a minute or more until I saw the hang line, then it fell into place. 🎊 Cheers Trix (1 year, 9 months ago)

gridlington @ #73698: Nighteyes, me too! Very good! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #73663: Was not hard at first glance, but depending on one's own vocabulary it proved to be a bit more challenging and fun. I like Indian food therefore I saw a flat bread and refused to let it go for ages. 🎊 TY (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mv @ #73700: I got the link for the Olivia group because who hasn't heard of Olivia Rodrigo. The days of the week one does work, but I don't think the word "homophone" quite fits! Lol (1 year, 9 months ago)

Dan @ #66911: Very niche! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73694: What malcontent said ! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73703: Accidentally solved it because of the order I noticed the groups in, and by not seeing the red herrings. Had a wild guess at the fourth link, because of one item I knew and two (or three) red herrings in other groups, but it really was far too obscure. Not really fun or satisfying. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73699: Lion and line aren't homophones in any accent I've heard, except when people are fall down drunk. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73684: Did I get one group - not pygmalion likely !! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Bonifica @ #73700: I frankly do not agree with the above comment. The choose group makes sense and ignorance of the correct answer does not make the question wrong. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73694: All the actors have won Oscars, as well as being dames. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73700: I've only heard of one of the Holt group and the choose group doesn't work. Nice ideas though. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Rob @ #73679: My gosh, so many Liverpool players as literal Red herrings!!!! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Superdolly @ #73460: Romeo is also a noun in the OED so perfectly acceptable, however wasp group would not accept biting! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Superdolly @ #73657: Was surprised the sports places groups would not accept sport or arena or stadium/stadia (1 year, 9 months ago)

Alex Knight @ #73627: Didn't accept types of property - might be worth adding this wording, but good grid! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73545: Please correct the spelling of Marilyn. The misspelling looks like there should be a hidden word there,and makes the actual group not a group any more, unless there actually was a person called Maralyn Monroe who died in 1962, which would be a huge coincidence. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Harriet @ #73686: Very good, tricky links (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73555: Very clever and well constructed. I was so flustered by the Wombles group, which I got on my final life, that I couldn't see the obvious connection for the log group. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Ben @ #73680: Good one, tricky (1 year, 9 months ago)

Ben @ #73662: Green things let's this grid down, but otherwise quite good. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73665: Good. Really nice groups and clues. Cans doesn't really work for its group though - I can't think of any accent where that n isn't pronounced and only used to nasalise the sound of the a, in English. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Tim Symes @ #73630: Excellent Grid. Yes I put the wrong synonym. but it meant the same. So we both get 10/10 (1 year, 9 months ago)

skinny @ #73676: My kinda level 🐎 (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73666: Nice and simple, once I'd got my head round American phrases that aren't really used in UK English. Well constructed, thank you. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Rossmondo @ #73677: Good one! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73678: Quite good, nice ideas for links and mostly good clues. Loved the Vila,Kirby and Prop groups. Two clues for the other group were poor, but gettable. Also, legend should be accepted for myth. (1 year, 9 months ago)

David Rees @ #73630: What a fantastic grid. I just couldn’t find which one went with grapple, intimidate and pearl… fiendishly good! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73636: No red herrings. Simple groups. Definitely for beginners. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Richard @ #73648: Not sure about using obscene words as a group, plus one makes no sense. One of the soft group didn't make sense either (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73646: Grids get posted twice quite often This one is on three times in a row… Bit strange (1 year, 9 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73626: "Although" has apparently been swapped with something else, so that works now. Still not really a fan of that connection, which feels a bit weak to me. Others might disagree, though. The "sink" group doesn't accept "liquid" as an answer, which was a bit disappointing. Decent and fun grid otherwise. (1 year, 9 months ago)

jonboy @ #73628: This is a goodie. However, Ringo only wrote Octopus’ Garden and sung lead on Yellow Submarine. (1 year, 9 months ago)

adw @ #73622: That’s nice (1 year, 9 months ago)

adw @ #73620: Good grid (1 year, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #73622: Good grid. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #73627: Good fun (1 year, 9 months ago)

Superdolly @ #73571: smooth!! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Superdolly @ #73611: Oh lordy not for me my spelling is bad enough but i can at least spell rhyme! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Superdolly @ #73610: Lovely (1 year, 9 months ago)

Superdolly @ #73622: I put tableware too so claiming my fetti! Lovely grid (1 year, 9 months ago)

Superdolly @ #73608: Toerfino-you kill the goose that lays the golden egg ! Will check the pub out if ever in Redditch! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73626: Although doesn't fit the category stated at all. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73608: The Golden Goose is a separate Grimm fairy tale unrelated to the golden egg laying goose in Jack and the Beanstalk. Beyond that its main use to seems to be as a brand of shoes. This was quite a nice simple grid I thought. (1 year, 9 months ago)

ezpz @ #73432: ggez (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73609: I was brain dead while the time was running down but got all four when the grid resolved. (1 year, 9 months ago)

mal @ #73608: Very easy but solid and fun (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73616: There's no rules saying a word in common can't be sometimes prefixed and sometimes suffixed or, as in one case here, just pertaining to the word. It's a challenging one though. I certainly didn't know of all the ones in the Pitman group. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73622: I'm giving myself "Hidden tableware". (1 year, 9 months ago)

UStralian @ #72893: Holiday = holy day = feast days on the Christian calendar. St. Valentine's day and All Hallows eve qualify. You don't have to get a day of work for it to be a valid holiday. You don't have to celebrate it either. Quit whining, it's a good wall. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Ant @ #73609: An enjoyable grid, thank you (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #73616: I couldn't really understand how mother is a connection. It comes before Theresa and Earth. But Mother Jennifer Lawrence and Mother reverend? Same with massage. I've heard of massage oils. And you can get vibrating massage chairs. But while friction is used in massage it's not something I would automatically associate with massage. I would think more like effleurage or petrissage being the terms. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73621: There is a British flag against the grid setters name Waited for the time up out of curiosity as I couldn’t see even a vague connection Only to see the answers appear to be in German ? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73621: Ich habe es auch nicht verstanden (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73609: Liked the red herring group - didn’t like the inclusion of pain - pains (pluralised) maybe - but pain singular doesn’t fit for me (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73608: There are lots of uses of Golden Goose - from a fashion brand to a “craft” lager - so no issues with that for me … Otherwise a fairly fun, somewhat easy single subject wall… (1 year, 9 months ago)

Richard @ #73608: Really clever, liked it (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73605: I don’t think I agree with the comments about warfarin etc, or turkey and no reason not to have the title character in the group My only criticism / mark down is I don’t like grids with game / niche tv character names - they often turn excellent grids into impossible ones if you don’t play the game or watch the niche tv. I’m not sure if they are appropriate or not - I just don’t like them (1 year, 9 months ago)

Lucy @ #73460: Brilliant grid.. thank you (1 year, 9 months ago)

David @ #73354: Also, they are fictional mice (1 year, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #73621: Ich nicht verstehen (1 year, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #73610: Very good, well constructed grid. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Toferino @ #73608: @superdolly, but can't you kill the Golden Goose? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Dan @ #58463: Bird logos should be accepted (1 year, 9 months ago)

Peamama @ #73610: I thought the capitals was more complex, that they are all anagrams of other words! Music category caught me out. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Richard @ #73616: Some of the connections are very tenuous and should be all suffix or prefix rather than a mix (1 year, 9 months ago)

Andy @ #73556: Strüdel maybe? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Marylin Smith @ #14437: New Forest and Shetland are ponies, not horses (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #73610: Or bean either. And please be explicit in your explanation of 5 etc. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Angry man @ #73616: Wrong (1 year, 9 months ago)

Lizzie @ #72838: Seems a shame that ‘countries’ isn’t accepted (1 year, 9 months ago)

Pauline @ #73610: Not accepting Capital cities as an answer! (1 year, 9 months ago)

sib @ #73610: capital cities is correct but not being accepted (1 year, 9 months ago)

Sredni @ #73609: Great false group. Very clever. Good to get the little grey cells working! (1 year, 9 months ago)

cazza @ #73582: Rhubarb Triangle is pretty niche (1 year, 9 months ago)

Lisa @ #73611: Rhyme 😂 😂 (1 year, 9 months ago)

Alison @ #73605: A decent first effort, well done. I don’t think ‘drug’ applies to all four of the group. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Dexaan @ #73591: I got close to a perfect score, but was Thai'd up (1 year, 9 months ago)

cazza @ #73594: Easy to get the hang of the connections, but trickier to get the groups (1 year, 9 months ago)

cazza @ #73591: Interesting connections and a bit of a challenge (1 year, 9 months ago)

Roll eyes @ #73611: So I’m assuming you’ve spelled ‘rhyme’ wrongly every time on purpose, especially as you’ve spelled it differently each time? Hope you enjoyed that. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Alison @ #73610: It’s not accepting the correct answer for the Rome group (1 year, 9 months ago)

UStralian @ #73611: It does not, in fact, help. We're supposed to keep these comments respectful, but under the circumstances, that's extremely difficult. wryme is not a word. Rime is a word, but it's not that word. Rymeh is utterly ridiculous. Please don't do this again. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #73605: Hi Radiogaga - I'll take some criticism on my first attempt. It's difficult with Bluey, I could shove in character that isn't in the main family, but that makes it so much harder. I'll add drug for the poisons though. I thought I'd covered it with poisons, toxins and they can kill. 😊 As for Turkey/Türkiye it's a debate, so yeah, I guess not ideal. I know they want everyone to use the latter. Potentially I could add in Yea man! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #73608: Nice, if straightforward. Agree on the goose/egg thing, unless you are referring to the pub in Redditch (& no doubt elsewhere) or the lager sold in Asda. (1 year, 9 months ago)

jgb2004 @ #73611: Hi Mike, the answer to that row is that they rime. Hope that helps! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #73611: So, I type in 'they rhyme' as a connection and I'm told that's wrong, the answer is 'they rhyme'?? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Superdolly @ #73594: Very satisfying (1 year, 9 months ago)

Superdolly @ #73602: I was so excited to have spotted the ''make'' group I had to have a second cup of tea! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Superdolly @ #73608: Sorry to be a pedant but the Goose wasn't golden its egg was! The Goose That Laid The Golden Egg xx (1 year, 9 months ago)

Superdolly @ #73605: RadioGaga you make me laugh! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Chas @ #73603: Nice grid. (1 year, 9 months ago)

RadioGaga @ #73605: Sorry, I'm just very self important and overreacted in my previous comment. This was a good grid I just wasn't intelligent enough to be able to solve it. Sorry again. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Tim @ #73273: Oof that Mr Men one doesn't take prisoners. Borrrrrrderline unfair but it's there if you know it, fair enough! (1 year, 9 months ago)

ryang @ #27009: EXCELLENT! (1 year, 9 months ago)

ryang @ #73608: enjoyed this (1 year, 9 months ago)

big A @ #73606: solid (1 year, 9 months ago)

Myname @ #73607: The currency one wasn't the best. One was unlike the others. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Peamama @ #73607: Nice one! Like the wonton red herring. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Petroch @ #73579: Nice (1 year, 9 months ago)

RadioGaga @ #73605: Drug not accepted for warfarin group Having the link be one of the words in the group is weak (Bluey) Ditto Turkey - when the rest of the answers are English spellings it doesn't fit to have a random non-English spelling (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #73602: Could the food group be extended to Middle Eastern food? (1 year, 9 months ago)

JEREMY @ #72151: Nice herrings. Ear could be missing an L for earl too (1 year, 9 months ago)

JEREMY @ #72153: Down and Sunderland are not counties and some of the other categories aren't tight enough (1 year, 9 months ago)

katrobrosi @ #73602: Did you mean to put Delight rather Turkish in the desserts group? (1 year, 9 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73588: Very quick and easy, but fun. (1 year, 9 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73594: Well-constructed grid. Quick and very easy, but satisfying to complete. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Ben @ #73591: Looking familiar (1 year, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #73597: Tough for me, but we'll constructed. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #73594: Good grid. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73573: Solvable very quickly once I got the idea, and it's a nice theme, but 'all linked with ----' is too vague for my taste, especially when two or three things in a group might be words that follow the link term and one or two are things that are loosely something to do with it. It leaves the groups feeling a bit vague and arbitrary to me. For example, I don't think happiness is associated with yellow, so don't see how fits in at all. (1 year, 9 months ago)

t-star @ #59372: Extremely excellent. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73582: Nicely constructed and.fun groups - nothing too obscure/niche. My only complaint would be it was four word play based links, and three of those were 'followed by'/'following' type links. I shouldn't complain at all though, as that's probably what made me able to solve it. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73576: Very good, thanks (1 year, 9 months ago)

ezpz @ #33156: ggez (1 year, 9 months ago)

ez @ #21280: ggez (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73580: Nice and simple. Lovely groups. Thank you. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73596: It's Jerry Hall, not Geri Hall, I'm afraid,which is a shame, as correcting that would break up you red herring spice girls group. Apart from that wrong clue, this would have been a good grid. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73588: Excellent. Really well constructed, nice groups and fun red herrings. (1 year, 9 months ago)

spikethecat @ #73525: Fun, easy grid. Thanks :-) (1 year, 9 months ago)

skinny @ #73591: simply the best (1 year, 9 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #73582: Now I know (1 year, 9 months ago)

benj @ #73582: Ignore Richard. It was good. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #73582: Nope, just the right level. Straightforward, nothing obscure or niche, but made me think. Confetti in the last 30 seconds. Very good grid. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Puddles @ #73588: Nice grid - enjoyed it a lot! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Angela @ #73577: The links are very loose. I put cycle races but this was not recognised. Disappointing (1 year, 9 months ago)

Tim Symes @ #73546: You need to edit one of your answers. Bit of a typo, That aside 10/10 Good Grid. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #73573: Colourful (1 year, 9 months ago)

Them! @ #73576: Great! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Richard @ #73571: Excellent (1 year, 9 months ago)

Richard @ #73582: Trying to be too clever (1 year, 9 months ago)

Richard @ #73580: Really clever, loved it. Thanks for identifying the red herrings too (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73571: Pretty good grid :) (1 year, 9 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73576: Fun grid. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Toferino @ #73573: I like a grid that has an overall theme running through it. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Toferino @ #73571: Didn't know that there was a word for a young jellyfish! They are immortal but I guess they must all have been young once... (1 year, 9 months ago)

weegieman @ #73571: Good stuff. Nice to learn new words - ephyna was new to me (1 year, 9 months ago)

Toferino @ #73536: excellent grid. Agree with @stacks the wedding non-group as a dimension. (1 year, 9 months ago)

skinny @ #73566: My Japanese came in handy for this one (1 year, 9 months ago)

skinny @ #73557: Top notch (1 year, 9 months ago)

Plod @ #73554: Nicely obscure TY! (1 year, 9 months ago)

HMK74 @ #73561: Nice grid! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73533: What were the red herrings? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73534: Well the wall suited me just fine. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73535: Dammit. I knew it wasn't the Derby. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73567: Just face it. Everyone is giving themselves the point for US Cities because there must be hundreds of other conections between four such major cities that are less obscure. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73555: Forr anyone wondering, one was in the original 70s TV series, one was also in the original books and two were in a 90s TV version. I got 10/10 here so I'm not complaining. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73545: Somewhat lacking in red herrings unless I missed them. I'm still annoyed I didn't get what the tricky group was despite watching it all. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73545: They are the only 4 bands in the grid - which makes the fact they have numbers in the name somewhat irrelevant… (1 year, 9 months ago)

Avenger @ #62838: Lovely grid Tilly, more please? 👍 (1 year, 9 months ago)

Dan @ #52608: Difficult to define the clapping etc group (1 year, 9 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #73536: Very good, missed the old line completely TY (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #73514: Excellent (1 year, 9 months ago)

Lizzie @ #73546: Not sure the birds group works - a hen is a female bird (1 year, 9 months ago)

bob @ #73556: Rice, bread, chocolate and christmas could also be pudding (1 year, 9 months ago)

Noo Yawk Native @ #73152: Anagrams!! Fun, thank you. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #73546: The birds group is even more tenuous than usual for a birds group. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #73555: Only recognised Tomsk as a Womble! Pure guesswork on that one. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Laura @ #73556: Chocolate group are all puddings. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #73517: BB is watching you! and the clock strikes 13 (1 year, 9 months ago)

GeorgieP @ #73541: You’re right, thanks & well spotted! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73541: That was fun. I got my confetti but shouldn't the one clue say TOSYOBWN? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Bina @ #73536: Not a unique solution. Eg could swap Crescent (Royal Crescent, Crescent Moon) with Blue (Blue Moon, Royal Blue) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73540: On the whole, a nice grid. It might be just me but I wasn't as fond of the 1970 group because there were quite a few years in the 90s when that happened. Oh well, I got two groups. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fisty @ #73539: Liked this, well put together grid. Cheers (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73538: Ta That does make it easier with one less to perm from … (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fisty @ #73538: Yes I was fixed (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73538: We’re you thinking of Danny Glover? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #73534: I have to admit I'm not such a fan of walls where there is a word that either precedes or follows the wall word for the connection. I'd discounted one word because I had a group where all the others had a word following only to find it was in the group. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Superdolly @ #73533: Marc Bolan the most beautiful man in pop! - Discuss (1 year, 9 months ago)

Bookwormneil @ #73514: Can you update to accept ‘countries’ :) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73524: Nice. The only group link I didn't spot before solving was the Hanks group, but my best guess, after solving the wall was right, luckily. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #73527: This grid has added purview to my vocabulary! Great grid! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #73517: Excellent grid! Only got one group,but still enjoyed it! (1 year, 9 months ago)

DahliaRey @ #73526: Perhaps add nobility to that group? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73526: Shame the aristocrat link terms were so narrow - royalty, nobility and rank were all rejected. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Dahlia @ #73527: Fun grid! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #73514: Sorry, not good, If the countries are homophones then sprain and Yeomen don't work. Also Bath is not in Somerset any more. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Kitty @ #73521: Excellent grid TYVM! (1 year, 9 months ago)

SuzyPoozy @ #73526: Good point, Neil - thank you. I'll try to re-think this (although to lose the word with the 'king' ending would mean losing a red herring ...) Maybe a whole new category is needed. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Igor @ #73520: It was Patsy Cline I was thinking of :) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73526: Unless I’m mistaken - a King is not an aristocrat - a king is a monarch (Royalty not aristocracy) A monarch appoints aristocrats but is not one themselves. The group itself was fair enough - but that distinction makes a correct category heading quite hard to define. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Andy @ #73489: I guessed "Grammy" for the Liza group and it accepted it? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73524: @David Rees - I missed that too and was actually looking for hidden words … D’oh! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Andy @ #73514: What was the connection for the countries? It didn't accept countries (1 year, 9 months ago)

David Rees @ #73524: 5 stars… that’s a fantastic grid. I can’t believe I missed the Chrome/Brigade link! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Cam @ #73508: Thanks Neil, now amended. It's my first attempt at a grid (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73489: I’ve never heard of your Pinky - but got the group anyway because of Pinky and Perky - who are actually puppets ! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Superdolly @ #73517: Don't change it if you want the group answer to be Nobel Prize that is a valid group, you don't have to accommodate every possible link. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73506: Having Rotas in that group is a massive stretch. SPOILER A ROAST alongside BOILED FRIED and STEWED doesn't work. Three cooking methods/adjectives and one dish/noun with the indefinite article don't make a group. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73506: Having Rotas in that group is a massive stretch. SPOILER A ROAST alongside BOILED FRIED and STEWED doesn't work. Three cooking methods and one dish don't make a group (1 year, 9 months ago)

Katrina @ #73517: Neil, thanks for you feedback. It should also accept academic study, but I'll add a few more terms. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73520: Good grid Which Patsy did you have in mind ? Patsy Gallant, Patsy Cline, Patsy Kensit (lead singer in 8th wonder but yes the same Patsy Kensit). Or another I hadn’t thought of ? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73517: They are Nobel prizes They are also traditional undergraduate degree subjects Good grid though otherwise :) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73051: Good ideas and well constructed, but Waiting and End can be swapped over, so there are at least two different, equally valid solutions. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73413: Nice, simple grid. Nothing stupidly obscure. Glad I didn't notice the misspellings - things like that usually put me off and have me looking for hidden words. @mal 'Bulgaria' instead of 'Uncle Bulgaria' doesn't bother me. Uncle isn't his name, it's his title. (1 year, 9 months ago)

RandomSam @ #73475: Fiendish, Peeeeeet. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73475: Nicely constructed, but either I mistyped an answer, or your link words for the journey group are very specific. (1 year, 9 months ago)

jodfu4h @ #73460: now this is puzzgrid (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73489: Enjoyable. Loved the Robbin group. Only just sorted the Dillie group (saw it straight away, once it was sorted in front of me) from the Duffy group (I suspect most other people will spot this one quicker than I did). The Chip group link has been done an awful lot. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Meh @ #73489: @Gridlington. They're mainstream to me! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73501: Also, I don't think I've ever heard of fire in that context. Is it a very obscure, technical phrase? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73500: Nice grid. Great red herring theme. The Satterthwaite links been overused though and the Drew group would be a bit obscure for most people (but no more so than Pokémon, sport or Oscars, as far as I'm concerned, and way more interesting). (1 year, 9 months ago)

gridlington @ #73489: Homophone of birds line is good. Fascinating Aida? Very niche! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73501: I thought photocopiers used toner, like a laser printer, rather than ink. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73498: The sausage group doesn't work as a group. Otherwise a fairly good grid (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #73462: I would agree with the other comment. First names of sports stars in a certain discipline is does mean you really have to have very specific knowledge. Especially if it's not a British sport on a British wall. Otherwise good wall. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #73471: A tough one, and even tougher to evaluate fairly. I appreciate the effort. TY (1 year, 9 months ago)

Tilly @ #62948: Terrific attempt to use them all and have clear definitions. Where you ha doubts, I found I initially agreed, having said that it works. The "Is or starts with" line, I found a little... . All in all very good, I enjoyed. Damn just seen I enjoyed it 10 months ago.😆 (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73472: Whilst people certainly do shoot pigeons - both clay and real - I don’t understand your Dick Dastardly reference The programme was called Stop The Pigeon and there’s no reference to shooting him in the lyrics - Nab him Jab him Tab him Grab him Stop that pigeon now.

bex @ #73254: what a fun grid! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73410: @Nighteyes It's a lovely place where pathologists study death and decay. It was also a spin-off of TV series Waking the Dead. I was denied confetti because for some reason it wanted a plural answer not singular for the second time tonight. A wee bit annoying. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Dr W @ #73405: Parsec. LOL (1 year, 9 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73409: Nice grid, with three fairly easy groups and one which I found really tricky; hard to spot hidden words when they are so short. Speaking of which, it would have been nice to have a more thorough explanation of the "Nepit" group, going over each item like in the explanation of the "Horus" group. Of course it's not too hard to piece together oneself, but still. (1 year, 9 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73401: Nice grid with a good mix of solutions. I didn't find it *that* easy, which probably means I need to brush up on my general knowledge.

Somewhat sloppily put together and the "lab" group is kind of silly. The rest is not bad, though. With a bit more care and effort, this could have been a decent grid. (1 year, 9 months ago)

adw @ #73367: Good grid (although I didn't get the actor link - including a future role... grrr!) (1 year, 9 months ago)

adw @ #73385: Nice grid but make sure you use the singular for your connections! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Plod @ #73366: Nice TY (1 year, 9 months ago)

Frozen Manatees @ #18195: You need to remove "names" from your answers. It gives a correct answer as long as you put "names" even if the rest is wrong. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73380: That's a mean trick in the Iran group and it threw me! :-) (1 year, 9 months ago)

HMK74 @ #73310: Almond Clark I take your point, but all are listed as UK High Street stores on the source I checked. They are all stores selling in the UK, not all UK founded, and admittedly I don't know what is classed as a 'High Street' store. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #73345: Yup!, beat me. It was all there but I did not see it. TY (1 year, 9 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #73357: Don't hate me but is American English the preferred usage north of the border? I refer to miscue. Thanks for your grids. (1 year, 9 months ago)

St John @ #73360: Confetti time (1 year, 9 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #73364: Got it just on time, nearly missed the bait. TY (1 year, 9 months ago)

S @ #39677: Would not accept cake. (1 year, 9 months ago)

GK Chaos @ #73369: Benj- agreed (1 year, 9 months ago)

Almond Clarke @ #73310: I might be wrong, but surely UK High Street stores ought to be referring British stores, not to Swedish, Spanish, Irish, and one British store (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #73310: Should have got the Ike group! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73354: ok ee cummings! It's spelt bartholomew though, whether you use capitals or not. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73355: I'm convinced that those four things aren't pronounced the same on either side of the Atlantic making that group tricky but there you go. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Pinjin @ #73371: Enjoyed. Thanks (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nicheman @ #73360: Brilliant grid (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73370: Cheap was the key to the confetti for me. (1 year, 9 months ago)

EmzMarmz @ #73356: Thanks for the feedback everyone - this was my first attempt so will take it on board. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nicheman @ #73366: Good spot Nighteyes - amended now (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73357: I didn't get the "none" group so totally fell for it as a red herring in the other. The remaining two groups were fine and not "a bit of a stretch". (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73318: @Dom By definition, the Middle East very much includes all of Egypt. It is the only part of the Middle East not in Asia. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73360: It has long amused me that the men were called Tom & Jerry. It must have been deliberate. (1 year, 9 months ago)

S @ #58852: Wouldn't accept Dr (1 year, 9 months ago)

Dexaan @ #73370: Giving mysel the point for "fights" (1 year, 9 months ago)

GK Chaos @ #73369: Gerard and Neil; thanks for the feedback and glad you enjoyed! Nighteyes- Erm not quite. New York was named 'in honour' of the Duke of York- better? Don't be bitter and hope you get laid soon. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #73366: Cwm not cwn. (1 year, 9 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73356: Yeah, the cards group doesn't really work. Just having the letters in there somewhere to spell four arguably connected words is far too weak of a connection. Using that logic you could probably come up with endless connections for any random group of four words: e.g. from the Skyfall group you can create the words "mite", "mouse", "yak" and "canary", and call the link "animals". The rest I thought was fine. (1 year, 9 months ago)

benj @ #73369: But Charles II and his administration gave the name "in honour of" his brother, the duke of York, future James II. It wasn't named directly for the city. Not a lot of resemblance then or now. (1 year, 9 months ago)

S @ #58891: Homophones didn't work and grid won't accept types of Street. Way to specific of this group (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #73369: NY was not named after a Duke. In both cases the duke and NY were "named after" the city of York. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nicheman @ #73370: Very fun, great connections! (1 year, 9 months ago)

S @ #73354: The answer mice should be accepted, not just mouse. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73369: No confetti for me - I could see what the connections were but couldn’t them all - and although I’d pre determined a group was “named after a duke” I still blew it - fooled by fruit! Easy enough in theory - a lot harder than it looked I needed 10 minutes for this one - but not bad and silly ones forgiven for the comments :); (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73367: D’oh got the sports teams and blew the actors !! Good grid (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73369: I won confetti, but I felt I had to work for it a little. Nice grid. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73368: Good grid - I liked this one :) BTW - I saw fighters - but worth bearing in mind that group can also all be storms (a meteor storm can occur when the earth passes through a dense area of comet debris and it’s also a 2010 film! ) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Plod @ #73364: Nice TY (1 year, 9 months ago)

weegieman @ #73318: Great grid. Egypt slightly off but close enough. Highly entertaining. (1 year, 9 months ago)

weegieman @ #73352: Excellent. Well thought out, good red herrings, most enjoyable (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73360: Well I’m over 40 so I enjoyed it !! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73356: The card suit one just doesn’t work for me - they aren’t anagrams, they aren’t in order - altogether a messy connection Otherwise a good grid Might be worth tweaking what is accepted for the ghost group. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nicheman @ #73364: Apologies Freddgar, Sol was a sort of incorrect connection on my part - amended. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Freddgar @ #73360: Very good Got all but the Page row Thanks for posting (1 year, 9 months ago)

Freddgar @ #73364: Good grid, didn't know about the Sol thing, learned something new You win by lots Thanks for posting (1 year, 9 months ago)

Freddgar @ #73361: Would be a good grid, but... Some of the names ended up in the wrong row. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Freddgar @ #73366: Very good grid 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 9 months ago)

Freddgar @ #73329: Excellent, well put together 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 9 months ago)

MonkeyTennis @ #73323: Can’t believe I didn’t get the song.Used to sing it to my kids! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Grahammers @ #73356: Why did ghost not work? (1 year, 9 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73357: Bit of a mixed bag. I'm not convinced by the inclusion of "exe" in that one group, and the "loser" group's solution feels like a bit of a stretch. The other two groups are fine. The "ringtone" one is really tricky and was too difficult for me, but not unfair (just needs a better solver than yours truly). (1 year, 9 months ago)

weegieman @ #73349: Excellent, I was jumping all over the place (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #73344: I didn't realise Reebok had changed their logo! Not that it would have helped... Fraser group doesn't work though, as others have said, it's Frasier Crane. (1 year, 9 months ago)

EmzMarmz @ #73356: Hi Mike, Sorry about that - I've now added a more detailed description in the answer. :) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #73347: Body parts group is a bit random (1 year, 9 months ago)

weegieman @ #73348: Good grid, small stretch with sharp suit, but I'm quibbling (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #73348: Nice wall, not that difficult tho' (1 year, 9 months ago)

weegieman @ #73347: Well put together, entertaining, no niche answers - great! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #73351: Answers still give Bombay Cat rather than Burmese Cat (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #73356: Don't get the card suits group? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Arcadian @ #73355: Nope, that group based on pronunciation is not good for anyone this side of the pond. This makes a sticky grid pretty much impossible for many. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Richard @ #73329: really good - great red herrings (1 year, 9 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73355: Fun grid, with clear explanations. I predict some people won't be happy with the "mass" group, but I think it works (and the disclaimer in the explanation gave me a good chuckle). (1 year, 9 months ago)

Arcadian @ #73352: Cheers, never really thought of the accent issue. Tweaked. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Sala @ #73352: Hmm - Inns only a homophone for Ns in a few accents of English. Was totally scunnered by the sevens! (1 year, 9 months ago)

IanB @ #73354: To be really picky, strictly speaking it's a 'yellow lab' not a golden one. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Arcadian @ #73351: Oops! Grid is fine, something went wrong in the answers! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jericho @ #73352: That's a good one! Can I suggest swapping 'inns' for 'tease' or 'eyes', though? (1 year, 9 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73351: Ah, Opie beat me to it. (1 year, 9 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73351: Unfortunately, three of the four groups do not accept the correct answer. Not bad otherwise, if a bit on the easy side. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Opie @ #73351: Some work to do on what answers are accepted! (1 year, 9 months ago)

QANON @ #73344: Fraser?! Really?! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Sam @ #73339: Confectionery should count for chocolate bars. Not sure about satin black either. (1 year, 9 months ago)

weegieman @ #73342: Sorry, but music groups beginning with The? A spider is an animal found in the British countryside? (1 year, 9 months ago)

H @ #72920: Being from the UK is irrelevant, his name is Stephen, not Steven! (1 year, 9 months ago)

H @ #72918: As said, it's Juliett, Whiskey, and Caesarea. And a hamlet is a settlement in its own right, not a subdivision. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Candice @ #73274: WOOO (1 year, 9 months ago)

weegieman @ #73344: Error in Frasier's name invalidates the Fraser one (1 year, 9 months ago)

David Rees @ #73349: Fantastic grid - well done. (1 year, 9 months ago)

jodfu4h @ #73318: egypt is also closer related to middle eastern culture than african (1 year, 9 months ago)

Lini @ #73343: Very fun - good challenge (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nicheman @ #73345: Great gird, loved the word connection. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fun @ #73344: Fun connections, but requires quite a stretch of the imagination (and spelling) for a few. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Sylvie @ #72766: I didn’t know that I was supposed to put them in groups (1 year, 9 months ago)

Alison @ #73309: Why the random plural words? (1 year, 9 months ago)

adw @ #73344: Not great, relying on a willful misspelling of one name (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nicheman @ #73344: Very fun! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nicheman @ #73329: Thank you! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Rossmondo @ #73344: How rude! I like it :-) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Ro @ #73334: Nice grid well constructed (1 year, 9 months ago)

7ovana @ #73339: ~missing letter for a country~ should be accepted as a valid answer (1 year, 9 months ago)

hi @ #48141: this sucks (1 year, 9 months ago)

Skerm @ #73333: This has grid of the day written all over it! (1 year, 9 months ago)

DH @ #73333: very enjoyable, challenged but not annoyed (1 year, 9 months ago)

Skerm @ #73318: Dom, Egypt is a transcontinental country, with the Sinai peninsula within the Middle East. So I think for the purposes of this quiz, it's perfectly fine. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Alison @ #73339: Nicely done (1 year, 9 months ago)

7ovana @ #73329: You should accept the word "party" for the UK political parties group. (1 year, 9 months ago)

big J @ #73341: class (1 year, 9 months ago)

Freddgar+ @ #73318: Very good, nice couple of red herrings 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 9 months ago)

tiger king @ #72613: I liked it. The kiss category worked for me. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jericho @ #73333: Yep. Got me, too. A fine piece of work. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jericho @ #73318: You are correct, Dom. I chose it for the similarity to Carrow, but missed the glaring geopolitical error. NOT sure it's worth shouting about, though. ;) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Dom @ #73318: Egypt is NOT in the middle east. Completely different continent too! (1 year, 9 months ago)

big J @ #73299: don't know what everyone is on about, it worse than bad, its terrible, utter shoot (1 year, 9 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73324: I agree 100% with weegieman on this. (1 year, 9 months ago)

SuzyPoozy @ #73329: Enjoyed this! Thank you. (1 year, 9 months ago)

weegieman @ #73329: Excellent. Well constructed and entertaining. (1 year, 9 months ago)

ExRanger @ #73318: Excellently constructed grid (1 year, 9 months ago)

TheWriter @ #73329: Great wall - love the Everest connection! (1 year, 9 months ago)

SuzyPoozy @ #73318: Great! (Esp. loved the 'carbuncle' group.) Thank you. (1 year, 9 months ago)

adw @ #73333: An excellent grid - the 'Wanda' group is one of those 'when you see it...' ones! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jeremy @ #73303: Don’t play (1 year, 9 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #73304: Thanks Gerard, yours is much better. I have changed it. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #73322: Good grid. I struggled, but I had the sketchy knowledge to make it interesting. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Rob @ #73318: Excellent grid - thank you (1 year, 9 months ago)

weegieman @ #73324: Nice grid. Funnily enough, the hidden punctuation marks were both very clever and really easy. I think the heteronyms worked, even though I didn't see the connection. (1 year, 9 months ago)

adw @ #73329: Nicely worked. (1 year, 9 months ago)

weegieman @ #73316: Good grid. Take That stumped me, I'm probably too old to know my way round stuff like that, but no doubt accessible to younger, more musicky solvers (1 year, 9 months ago)

weegieman @ #73319: Trop difficile sans connaissance profonde de la langue (1 year, 9 months ago)

weegieman @ #73323: Bit too niche for my taste. Isn't Hugo more of a novelist than a poet? Maybe Verlaine or Villon might have been a more guessable option. (1 year, 9 months ago)

weegieman @ #73322: Like Neil, my knowledge of US history and geography left me stranded, but it's a neatly constructed grid, good stuff. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73304: @Neil Re: animals. You pass three of them whenever you make a comment, but I don't know where the fourth fits in. I think Union would have fitted the others better than Ladder, but that might just be me. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73311: One answer away from a run of five confettis in a row. My fault as White wine was never going to be in a group of wines! Nice grid. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73322: Confetti! Simpler than it first appeared. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73323: I didn't think the song was the same each episode but I may be wrong. Have you ever noticed the tune, possibly Sumer is Icumen In, is the same one they sing as the policeman is about to be burnt in The Wicker Man. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73324: I think the Object group does work in British English but was certainly a tough spot. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Lisbon Geaville @ #73324: Have you seen Chappie by Niel Blomkampf? People always talk about it being not that great but I love Die Antwoord. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Chris @ #73316: yes. Confetti. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73306: Synonyms are synonyms - of each other by definition - needing to finding a fifth and guessing a different one to the grid setter is just annoying - it needles me no end (and that doesn’t actually mean provoke! ) it often spoils a good grid like it did this time (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73304: Good choice of RD - Bladder doesn’t fit … What on Earth does “animals used in puzzgrid” mean - although it gave just animals so can’t complain Kind of a “close but no cigar” from me! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73322: Even as a Brit I know a state capital or two - but not two whole connections worth or how to sort them! My USA geography isn’t quite up to this grid! I suspect it’s quite a good one really though ! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73324: Hmm - one that doesn’t translate to British English so well We have ‘full stops” but I guess we get enough USA TV to spot that one really. And not sure Object really fits - not with my pronunciation anyway But the flag should have been a clue - a well crafted grid on balance (1 year, 9 months ago)

Toferino @ #73323: Interesting but very niche knowledge. Not particularly accessible. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Toferino @ #73275: I don't usually like to see yet another hidden number category but you've used it to good effect here, providing some nice crossovers. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73316: I am a big music person and as such I’m reasonably happy to say I didn’t know the band one either! But not ridiculously obscure by any means - so a totally legitimate one to include Good grid :) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Cajun @ #73195: well done! 'Famous Novels' should get a point for that group. Got me on the bases though 7/10 (1 year, 9 months ago)

Cajun @ #73204: well done, pretty easy but nice groups (1 year, 9 months ago)

Cajun @ #73309: poorly done (1 year, 9 months ago)

Henry @ #73309: No (1 year, 9 months ago)

tiger king @ #73316: Nice grid. I didn't know the band one, but I'm not a huge music person. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Arcadian @ #73275: Nice, easy to finish once you get one group. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #73316: Is a violin not a stringed instrument? Otherwise good! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Ellie @ #72875: iPlayer isnt a tv channel, its a streaming service (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #73275: Very clever red herrings (1 year, 9 months ago)

David Rees @ #73273: Very difficult but I enjoyed finding out what the categories were at the end… very clever! (1 year, 9 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73299: I concur with most of what's been said above. I wouldn't go so far as to say that it makes no sense at all, but I agree that especially the "orn" and "gin" groups are not exactly realistically solvable. I doubt I would ever have spotted the "ble" connection either, but at least here the pattern is consistent (and not as bizarre as in the "orn" group). (1 year, 9 months ago)

Stefanie Berkes @ #73296: A good wall with interesting connections - took me a second but satisfying (1 year, 9 months ago)

Lucy @ #68262: Love your grids. Thank you (1 year, 9 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73294: Agreed. "Anger" is perhaps also a slight stretch, though I did enjoy solving that category. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Big A @ #73299: Like throwing darts at a dartboard but I am blindfolded and there is no dartboard (1 year, 9 months ago)

Thomas @ #73301: Marvellous grid - I did hear that #73299 is one for the more intellectually gifted though! (1 year, 9 months ago)

weegieman @ #73299: Difficult without being entertaining. And pretty abstruse. I mean, first, second etc. letters of words - not exactly something you'd normally be looking for (1 year, 9 months ago)

Scrumdiddly @ #73296: Yes!!! My first HARD grid completed for 10. Thank you! (1 year, 9 months ago)

weegieman @ #73296: Good one. Straightforward but challenging. (1 year, 9 months ago)

SuzyPoozy @ #73275: You're absolutely right, J - apologies. Will amend. (1 year, 9 months ago)

J @ #73275: Should accept Ulster as an answer (1 year, 9 months ago)

weegieman @ #73294: I think the rhyming one requires quite a leap. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Scrumdiddly @ #73302: Liked this one. Couldn't get the jaffa, dolly connection though. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73302: Unusually, I got none of the groups but got all the connections once the grid was resolved. Another challenging one...for me anyway. (1 year, 9 months ago)

cazza @ #73275: Nicely done - a few challenges and nothing to specialist or niche (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73299: Well, I might have got this one given ten minutes but I'm not sure. Nothing here is out of my knowledge range, but the Orn group in particular may be an abstraction too far. If anyone wants a challenge... (1 year, 9 months ago)

Puddles @ #73293: The alcohol group: you can also replace the initial P with an S to get new words (1 year, 9 months ago)

TheWriter @ #73296: Good spot! All fixed now - thanks for the keen eye. (1 year, 9 months ago)

sib @ #73273: once or onze (1 year, 9 months ago)

S @ #73299: Nothing here makes sense. (1 year, 9 months ago)

EthelQ @ #73276: Enjoyed that - cannot believe I missed the owls. (1 year, 9 months ago)

sib @ #73299: Nothing here makes sense - they are not connections (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #73296: Really enjoyed this one. A challenge but not impossible. Just have a look at your "take a" group. You have used take a chance in your explanation, but it's not on the wall. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #73293: Excellent wall. The alcohol eluded me! Lots of lovely red herrings (1 year, 9 months ago)

metalfan @ #73277: brass is an alloy not a metal (1 year, 9 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73284: Interesting and clever grid, but a little too arcane for my tastes. Well, three quarters of it, because the "12 monkeys" category was a really easy solve. The remaining three felt like something one could not realistically expect someone else to solve, at least not within 3 minutes. One category like that would perhaps have been ok, but three just makes things impossibly difficult. For a grid that's challenging enough to be fun, while still remaining realistically solvable, I'd say the sweet spot lies somewhere between the "12 monkeys" category and the other three. But that might just be me. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Anastase @ #73275: Good grid. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Hello @ #73275: Good one mate! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Hippo @ #73247: Really enjoyed! Thanks simon! (1 year, 9 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73277: I meant to write "both commenters", not "post commenters". Oh well, now I agree with all three. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Ro @ #73269: Fun grid. Had to have the time twice. (1 year, 9 months ago)

weegieman @ #73277: Agreed, dominoes too niche. Otherwise not bad. (1 year, 9 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73277: I agree with post commenters above. The Domino's thing really detracts from what is otherwise a pretty decent grid. The main red herring was cute. (1 year, 9 months ago)

count-snackula @ #73277: dominoes thing was a bit dubious (1 year, 9 months ago)

count-snackula @ #73247: nice grid, well done to Simon (1 year, 9 months ago)

Angus @ #73273: that was very clever, using film title as red herring. . . must be an age thing but i got the JLC one easy, not the mr men one! (1 year, 9 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73270: Uh, unless I'm missing something, this is exactly the same grid as #73264... (1 year, 9 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73264: Oh, and I always appreciate when the solutions are written out clearly, as they are here. (1 year, 9 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73264: I strongly disagree with the commenter above; the film titles were the first connection I spotted. I mean, we're hardly talking about obscure titles here. But I guess that sort of thing can be very subjective: what feels unfair to one person can seem obvious to someone else. I thought this was a very nice grid, by the way. An interesting mix of solutions and a couple of clever red herrings. (1 year, 9 months ago)

weegieman @ #73273: Fiendish indeed, but I think just the first word of films featuring JLC doesn't really give the solver a sporting chance. If Everything Everywhere All at Once is deliberate, that is very clever, I was red herringed to smithereens! (1 year, 9 months ago)

weegieman @ #73275: Good one. Particularly liked the strychnine red herring and the hidden numbers. Simple, entertaining and free of niche solutions, good for you! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Hiniania Oplacop @ #72778: We like it and we think there should be more lives and put in cats for the game anyways I like it (1 year, 9 months ago)

Slawdog @ #73275: Great puzzle :) (1 year, 9 months ago)

SuzyPoozy @ #73263: Thank you for the comments, Neil! I've tinkered with the answer to make it more accurate. (Glad you enjoyed the grid.) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Tom @ #73247: Smashing x (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nb @ #66462: Good fun with some nice groups, unfortunately the solution is not unique as goat and ram are interchangeable. (1 year, 9 months ago)

mal @ #73247: Very easy but solid (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #73262: Nice wall, good connections. (1 year, 9 months ago)

gridlington @ #73262: very good thanks (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73269: Bucks was a bit of a cheat - but otherwise pretty good (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73263: Hmm. A jib is a sail rather than a part of a boat. A burgee is a triangular flag and a fender is a loose item hung over the side - cleats though are part of a boat! Otherwise a great grid with clever cross group red herrings (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #73262: Good grid. Could be nice to see a slight variation in connection style. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Pauline @ #73249: Didn't accept " animal babies" (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #73232: I was flummoxed. But excellent wall with a variety of connections and red herrings. (1 year, 9 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #73247: Good grid. Well done (1 year, 9 months ago)

Thoth @ #73241: Thanks for the comments. "Feat" would have been better. I'll bear that in mind for the next one! (1 year, 9 months ago)

weegieman @ #73264: I think just the last word of a film title doesn't really give you much to go on. (1 year, 9 months ago)

drip @ #73252: Not good (1 year, 9 months ago)

drip @ #73254: Worst ever (1 year, 9 months ago)

Freddgar @ #73262: Good grid Nice couple of red herrings 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 9 months ago)

weegieman @ #73247: Lovely grid. Well conceived. Have to admit I still don't know what a crash bandicoot is, but that's probably just me! (1 year, 9 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #73249: Kit is the correct name for a variety of animals including a beaver,mint,ferret,skunk,squirrel,raccoon and many more (1 year, 9 months ago)

Rob @ #73258: Very good grid, the rivers foiled me (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #73231: Love a red herrings group! (1 year, 9 months ago)

anvil @ #73249: I agree with Paul. Plus "kit" is the informal version of kitten really. (1 year, 9 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #73249: Solids added - thanks (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73087: @andymunro73 It often happens on the show that inspired this so I'd say yes. (1 year, 9 months ago)

S @ #73261: Goat not accepted for "types of goats". The Chase not accepted for "Chasers on the Chase'. Dunder is one of the reindeer. Looks after kids not accepted for "childcare givers". (1 year, 9 months ago)

anvil @ #73252: The Dr one gets done an awful lot these days. (Caesar and Dolittle spellings are incorrect) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73090: Tricky. I got three of the connections, four if I am less specific than you on the Abba group. ;-) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Tim Symes @ #73241: Happy with homophones. Not sure I'd call sole as a body part. Feat would be better I fell down on my Greek knowledge. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73091: Poor Bigfoot is just misunderstood! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Sam @ #73254: Who ever picked Coldplay songs should unsubscribe from Spotify (1 year, 9 months ago)

Puddles @ #73247: Liked this one! TY (1 year, 9 months ago)

Puddles @ #73249: Nice grid - enjoyed it. However the "3D" group didn't accept "geometric solids" (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73252: Dammit! I solved the grid with 2 1/2 minutes to spare then didn't get the Caesar connection staring me in the face. I'm not using the fact you spelt it "Ceasar" as an excuse. Nonetheless it was fun. (1 year, 9 months ago)

PJ @ #73221: League and Dipper could be switched and the groups would still work. (1 year, 9 months ago)

weegieman @ #73251: Nice stuff. Getting 6 dwarfs in, 2 red herrings, amused me. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73133: I did wonder what Swiss chess was. Perhaps it's where neither side moves because they are both neutral. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #73235: *Paul * (1 year, 9 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #73235: I agree - with Payl (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73238: @Nighteyes Is that really constructive criticism? Castlevania is a popular series of video games and many will have got that group even if it's the only one I didn't get. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73230: @Nighteyes Balance scales are a symbol of Pyrrhonism apparently (according to Wikipedia). (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73241: @S Probably not a serious comment but I'll take the bait. They were homophones, words that sound like parts of the body so none had "wrong spelling". (1 year, 9 months ago)

Bigplantpot @ #73247: Enjoyed it. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jericho @ #73240: Hi Neil. It should accept bands. "band" is the first key word on the list. Any chance you mistyped? Hi Them! A Gridiron is a metal grate used for broiling meat, and also the name for an American Football field, due to the similarity of the pitch markings to a gridiron. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Kitty @ #73249: Loved it, TY (1 year, 9 months ago)

Paul @ #73249: hmmm . ... i liked it, but the pedant in me thinks that if you have square, parallellogram and rhombus in a group, then circle doesnt really fit like kite would. (1 year, 9 months ago)

S @ #73241: Wrong spelling of three of the body parts making the grid unsolvable. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73224: Just put the correct capital letters in a few and it's a nice grid. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Caz2 @ #51139: (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73237: Well today I learnt the H stands for Harriet. Got the other groups OK though. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Baron @ #73238: Perfectly scure way to enjoy my time. Soma group only one I didn't have a chance on, but others would. Taxes group superb (1 year, 9 months ago)

Them! @ #73240: Never heard of a ‘gridiron’ (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #73239: But the setter is British. So by choosing that nationality, one ought to be able to assume the correct spelling is used. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73239: ClearStory is a little known British TV production company but seems a bit obscure to be the connection. Others have complained about multistory, but that would be the American spelling. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #73230: Pyrronism is essentially skeptism. In what context is it represented by scales? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jif @ #62036: Fun grid! Or should I say ‘ nuf dirg’? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #73237: James etc are also forenames used as surnames. Harriet etc. Is unbelievably obscure. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Karen Wooding @ #73239: Multi Storey has an E so multi storey (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73240: Why does it not allow bands as an answer - after all there are no bands on there other than four letter named ones so saying anything more than just bands is redundant … (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #73238: Ridiculously obscure waste of time. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Dahlia @ #73240: Good grid! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #73239: Multi is storey, not story. Clear story? Do you mean clerestory? As in a type of window? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jo @ #73204: I said vehicles for red group and it said wrong. That needs correcting. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Dahlia @ #73221: This was fun! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Alison @ #67625: Love this. Solved them but nowhere near quick enough for full marks! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Alison @ #67701: Nice grids with lots of overlapping red herrings (1 year, 9 months ago)

Rich @ #73215: Like the groups, but they stood out to us for whatever reason, without seeing herrings. (1 year, 9 months ago)

SeedyEm @ #73235: I liked the ideas of all the groups and enjoyed playing it but agree that donate, should be donation for consistency. Also homophone groups tend not to travel well - even between England and Scotland! Nice groups, execution could be tweaked to get to 5-star! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #73221: Thoroughly enjoyed this, thank you (1 year, 9 months ago)

Paul @ #73235: Fun! Well done. (1 year, 9 months ago)

ADBrazil @ #73211: Nice one! (1 year, 9 months ago)

weegieman @ #73231: Nice one. The mattresses threw me! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Peamama @ #73228: It was an error that I fixed before the original was submitted. This grid is actually already on the site. It just resubmitted for some strange reason. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gene @ #73223: Good grid! Allow 'land locked' (2 words). (1 year, 9 months ago)

weegieman @ #73235: Possibly being picky but 3 nouns and 1 verb is weak, should be donation I think. Also, alms and arms? Stretching it a bit. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nb @ #66441: Nice grid. Beaten by the eggs so just a 7 (1 year, 9 months ago)

Dahlia @ #73229: Good grid! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #73219: Super grid. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #73221: Well put together. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #73224: Good grinding! (1 year, 9 months ago)

film buff @ #73235: @Richard Badger, strain is musical phrase or section within piece. Air as in Londonderry Air. Can also be spelt aire. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #73235: Did not get air, strain set (1 year, 9 months ago)

skinny @ #73224: Probs the best one I’ve done yet (1 year, 9 months ago)

skinny @ #73224: Changed it for you Karijn to make it all the bands (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73228: Are there two characters called Happy in it then? Wikipedia only lists one. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Karlijn @ #73224: There is a mistake in this wall. Toto is not the name of the song, it's the name of the band. Africa is the name of the song (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73229: Great grid, but the Halle group link could just as easily be winners of Academy Awards for best Actor. Halle Berry, Kevin Spacey,John Wayne, Sean Penn. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Trix @ #73212: Tilly, seems that nobody enjoys a challenge anymore - keep them coming! TY (1 year, 9 months ago)

mal @ #73215: Easy but quite fun (1 year, 9 months ago)

PL @ #73193: Love this one! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Caz2 @ #62780: Something amiss here with this as correct connections coming up as wrong (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73222: An odd one Got the radio 4 show Got the Titanic set Got the other two connections just because of the similarity of format but with no clue what they were .! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73221: Oops sorry - mis-scored the quality - meant to hit two stars for easy and caught the two star for quality - its better than that - so sorry (1 year, 9 months ago)

me @ #73207: Really good (1 year, 9 months ago)

film buff @ #73208: Movie Buff, I actually thought you may mix heart killers with The Lady Killers! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #73227: Toughie 🙂 (1 year, 9 months ago)

Puddles @ #73231: Thanks! Nice grid - couple of good red herrings! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #73209: * for me * (1 year, 9 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #73209: A bit of a grrrr moment fore, but that's what makes these puzz's so enjoyable.TY (1 year, 9 months ago)

skinny @ #73224: :-) (1 year, 9 months ago)

skinny @ #73224: Surely it’s close enough?? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Puddles @ #73224: In the "continents" group, one of these things is not like the others ;-) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Tom @ #73215: Ahh put Ms. Instead of Miss, but I'll say I got 10 points in principle :) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Lulabella @ #72893: Very easy! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Puddles @ #73221: Nice grid! Liked this one a lot! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Grahammers @ #73222: @verbena Adjusted, apologies on that (1 year, 9 months ago)

verbena @ #73222: good grid but a bit miffed that my answer "ships that sank" was deemed incorrect. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Thoth @ #73219: Thanks for pointing that out. I've fixed it now. (1 year, 9 months ago)

S @ #72844: Too specific on "ways to attack". I put fighting which is correct. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Grahammers @ #73085: Updated with above suggestions, thanks. (1 year, 9 months ago)

weegieman @ #73212: A tad too obscure for my taste. (1 year, 9 months ago)

weegieman @ #73215: Pleasantly straightforward (1 year, 9 months ago)

Stacks @ #73215: Very good grid. (1 year, 9 months ago)

H @ #72873: La wankere (1 year, 9 months ago)

Pedant @ #73214: Very good. Not sure Doctor Who is a character, though. More a show title. (The character is The Doctor, no?) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #73215: Really enjoyed this one. Satisfying (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #73218: I think there are few errors here. Cordelia not Cornelia. And I think you meant to only do the first parts of Eton, Angel etc. Would have been more challenging as Angel can be a character and pub too. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #73219: Very much enjoyed. I lived that you put Rupert using his first name. But please ensure your change it to Cordelia, I don't thing she'd be amused. (1 year, 9 months ago)

S @ #71718: Chocolate isn't called candy outside of the US. Consider candy/sweets/confectionary for the answer. (1 year, 9 months ago)

cazza @ #73209: I enjoyed this - knew the connections but could not quite get the groups in time (1 year, 9 months ago)

Tilly @ #73212: Spelling errors due to auto correct, space availability and human error. Just a little puzzle compiled for my amusement. (1 year, 9 months ago)

cazza @ #73208: Appreciated that this was not TOO specialist i.e. fairly well known films. (1 year, 9 months ago)

cazza @ #73215: No improvement needed IMHO (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #73214: Tails? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73212: I wouldn't usually call someone's spelling sloppy, but when an option is "Hang On Sloppy" I can't help it. I thought the errors: an L missing in "That'll Be the Day", Judge Dredd mistaken for Judge Dread were part of the connections. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Dahlia @ #73218: Enjoyed this :-) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Alison @ #34856: That was fun! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Bee @ #73219: It's Cordelia not Cornelia (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73153: I just Googled whether a giraffe has a voice box. They do but it is difficult to provide enough airflow up their long tracheas to vibrate the large vocal folds. In 2015 it was confirmed that giraffes do make largely infrasonic humming vocalisations at night. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Alison @ #73213: Nice grid. I swapped the first letter to B for that group, feeling pretty sure it wasn’t right. My description brought ne correct answer 🤣 (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #73212: Why is the song title first in three of the four, but second in the fourth? Is this deli erate misdirection? Are the misspellings supposed to be red herrings? (1 year, 9 months ago)

AmandaT @ #53358: Enjoyed this one! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #73215: Good wall, not difficult but no contentious groupings (1 year, 9 months ago)

weegieman @ #73211: Enjoyable. Liked the hidden weights, but must admit I got the Wonderful Life one without knowing why, they were just the four left over. Gap in my film buffer. (1 year, 9 months ago)

weegieman @ #73213: Pretty good, though I thought the le one was a bit of a stretch (1 year, 9 months ago)

BabyJane @ #73215: Really fun grid and great red herrings. Had me worried for a bit but managed it just in time 😉 (1 year, 9 months ago)

Baby Jane @ #73104: Not 6? Also should be ‘Spaced’ (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73215: Easy and straightforward but fun. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fisty @ #73203: I agree footwear should be accepted but the links are so hard to get all permutations in (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fisty @ #73157: Good good ignore the negative comments from people who've never set a grid (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fisty @ #73194: Agree with chocolate being not accepted but understand its hard to get all permutations in (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73202: Present participles maybe - Gerunds possibly - verbs they are not. Something seems amis as it doesn’t accept dirty dancing as an answer when that’s the answer it gives - not sure why that would happen. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73203: Not to tricky - nice to play - I don’t know my tube line colours but Hammersmith and city isn’t a super hero love interest so I guess it’s pink !! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #73171: Can't say I'm a fan of the pig connection. To have 3 pigs from one TV programme then another from a book written 50 odd year before that programme with no connection to the programme is a bit tenuous. If you'd had another fictional pig maybe? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fisty @ #73203: Enjoyed that, nice one (1 year, 9 months ago)

tiger king @ #73165: Nice grid. Not too hard. Very enjoyable. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #73174: Really good. I managed to avoid the Anne Robinson, Dent and Life of Riley red herrings by seeing countdown first. Otherwise I would have really struggled. Also agree with you Life of Luxury. And Dent, scrape, mark nick, chip all seem similar in meaning. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #73187: Very good. I didn't get it, but some excellent connections and red herrings. Work to the standard of Waley-Cohen (1 year, 9 months ago)

Maxine @ #73174: Isn't the phrase actually "lap of luxury"? (1 year, 9 months ago)

LuciusMofo @ #73203: Thanks Mouse. Done (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #73203: Footwear not accepted, needs answer adjusting. (1 year, 9 months ago)

weegieman @ #1938: Very good. Neat themed idea with the languages as the common feature (1 year, 9 months ago)

weegieman @ #73202: I'm being pedantic but whisper, shout, laugh and smile are verbs. I think the ing forms are gerunds. Also agree with Puddles, verbs is too broad as a category. (1 year, 9 months ago)

weegieman @ #73174: Nifty, apart from the chip, mark dent, scrape one, which I thought was a bit tenuous (1 year, 9 months ago)

Puddles @ #73202: Verbs is far too broad as a category. Otherwise, nice grid! (1 year, 9 months ago)

weegieman @ #73186: Good grid, neatly put together (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #73186: Clever grid thank you (1 year, 9 months ago)

emily hawkins @ #72994: I loved this one! Playing with my friend right now after a long day of studying, nothing like a little ol' brain teaser! her comment following: belp :p - Liv (friend) (lover) (room mate) (enemy) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fisty @ #73191: Adding a letter in the middle for pink is my only gripe (1 year, 9 months ago)

Leela @ #29683: Amazing game (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #73189: There are loads of versions of Android that are not baked goods, lollipop, nougat, marshmallow, jelly bean... It would have been better to use one of those of you wouldn't accept baked goods. Also agree with below, on a keyboard is fine, you shouldn't have to specify they are function buttons. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Snowdog @ #73189: They might be commands but they are also all keys ! All those operating systems are also baked goods The Snowdog shall have his revenge !!! ;) (1 year, 9 months ago)

JustRetired @ #71254: Easy and fun - One category could also be Olympic Host cities...I didn't say capitals because I thought it too obvious. (1 year, 9 months ago)

JustRetired @ #73128: Good mix of clues and herrings. I can't believe that the first thing that crossed my mind when the grid opened was "Sean Cannery" - and never took it further. :/ (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73186: Another nice one (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73174: Nice (1 year, 9 months ago)

JustRetired @ #73131: Thanks - another good one...Would've had confetti if I hadn't gone down a rabbit hole in my mind - The 3rd man, The Triforce, Oh Heavenly Dog (I was thinking that the Trinity was pushing it) and Life of 3.14159 (1 year, 9 months ago)

NAYA @ #73181: HANAR (1 year, 9 months ago)

Cam @ #72452: One group blindingly obvious by being all lower-case except for a person's name. Shame, it would have been a lovely grid otherwise. (1 year, 9 months ago)

JustRetired @ #73112: Nice grid to start the day, along with a coffee (1 year, 9 months ago)

NAYA @ #71254: REALLY HARD AND STUPID,NOTV EASY (1 year, 9 months ago)

NAYA @ #71835: YOU ARE AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!! slay YOU . QUEEN IS AN ISSUE AS RED HERRING FOR CHESS (1 year, 9 months ago)

Alison @ #73145: The Dennis group is niche enough even without the decade 😂 (1 year, 9 months ago)

TACO MAN @ #72987: OH MY GOODNESSSS (1 year, 9 months ago)

Alison @ #73167: Needs better flexibility on the Robbie group answers. Crying doesn’t fit your descriptor. Enjoyable grid, though. Thank you for posting. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Toby @ #35758: 💩made my day 💩💩💩 (1 year, 9 months ago)

Vincent @ #35758: Incredible (1 year, 9 months ago)

Year 9 @ #35758: Wasn’t as good as the last one (1 year, 9 months ago)

A year 9 @ #35749: It’s good (1 year, 9 months ago)

Myname @ #73167: Crying being a baby supply is a new one! 'mouth actions' guessed as verbs seemed too broad. Moral of the story, don't over think it. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mark @ #42536: Very informative and useful puzzgrid 👍 (1 year, 9 months ago)

Rossmondo @ #73143: This is the 4th one I've played in a row today that didn't accept a correct answer. Surely "Bee" should be ok? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Wth @ #42536: Very, very, very hard hard hard (1 year, 9 months ago)

Luke @ #42536: Quite tricky (1 year, 9 months ago)

Catie @ #73161: Bear group connection felt a bit unfair (beginnings and endings) (1 year, 9 months ago)

b @ #73143: I'm not up on horror movies, which spoilt an otherwise Ok grid (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73161: Good. Nice, varied links, though the Cockchafer group link was a bit basic, and owl was very obscure knowledge for its group. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73157: I disagree about the synonyms group but a well constructed grid. Thank you (1 year, 9 months ago)

Tom @ #73112: I went with homophones rather than Capitals, but that is a skill issue on my part x (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73155: I can never usually do your grids, but I managed 7/10 on this. Great fun. I'm really not a fan of the two films which link the group I didn't get, so have only watched them once each, both between twenty and thirty five years ago, so it's no surprise I didn't remember the character names. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Superdolly @ #72841: Group ''attack'' should accept ''hurt'' (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mickeyb12 @ #73145: should be Courteney, not Courtney. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jeannie+Smith @ #73143: Why will it not accept Bee? (1 year, 9 months ago)

MICKEYB12 @ #73151: Top grid. 5 stars (1 year, 9 months ago)

JAF @ #72994: Nice connections. Really well put together. Fairly easy to solve but still great fun. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73157: Tried it twice to be sure I’d not miss-spelled It doesn’t accept synonyms. By definition if they are synonyms no further explanation is required - they are synonyms of each other I’d suggest dropping the requirement to think of a fifth description for what they are It spoils an otherwise good grid (1 year, 9 months ago)

daz @ #73157: Movie one way too vague otherwise good. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73155: I’m not really a fan of single subject grids I’m not really a fan of grids that are all names I’m not really a fan of grids where I can see two of all or most of the connections and know what the connections are but not enough of them So no surprise - I’m not really a fan of this grid I am though a fan of vintage and classic films …. ( and Bialystok is a dead giveaway for just one connection ) :) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Paul @ #73156: Very nice! (1 year, 9 months ago)

film buff @ #73155: ** for classic or vintage fans (1 year, 9 months ago)

Rob @ #73133: As per Puddles comment (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #73141: Two Star Trek connections is perhaps a bit much. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Div @ #73112: The anagrams also have homophones (1 year, 9 months ago)

Sarah @ #73141: This one so much fun - I loved it!!! (1 year, 9 months ago)

PJ @ #73112: I wish the bird group had accepted "chicken." (1 year, 9 months ago)

Puddles @ #73133: Cheese, not chess, in the grid (1 year, 9 months ago)

Ian @ #73117: Enjoyed this grid. (1 year, 9 months ago)

John Agard @ #72484: Nice (1 year, 9 months ago)

Puddles @ #73112: Nice grid! Thanks! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Rob @ #73112: Great grid, the anagrams beat me (1 year, 9 months ago)

Peamama @ #73121: Loved this one. Just got me on the anagrams! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73121: There are 70 ways to perm any 4 from 8; just saying ! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Kay @ #73101: Pretty nice, but there isn't a unique solution- Thorium is also an element and Neptune is also a god, which means Thor and Neptune can go in either category. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73118: Stab? Thrust was pushing it - but Stab is a bit forced ! (1 year, 9 months ago)

RIP Matt @ #73009: Rip matt (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73102: Arrest does not mean pressing charges - not by any definition - a weak connection which spoils a good grid (1 year, 9 months ago)

b @ #73093: East Coast rap - who is to know that? Just "groups" (1 year, 9 months ago)

cazza @ #73112: Liked the anagram connection (1 year, 9 months ago)

Adriano @ #73085: This solution is not unique. Maiden and Rule can be swapped and still give a correct solution using categories given. (1 year, 9 months ago)

mrpuzzgrid @ #73111: this cool 👍 (1 year, 9 months ago)

RhythmiCon @ #73101: Really liked this one, good job. You got me the elements! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Pauline @ #73104: Narked that it didn't accept 6 as an answer (1 year, 9 months ago)

Pauline @ #73104: Marked that it didn't accept 6 as an answer (1 year, 9 months ago)

Hannah @ #72994: We liked this one! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Slawdog @ #73101: Good puzzle (1 year, 9 months ago)

Slawdog @ #73102: Best puzzle I've played on here in a while. Lots of Red Herrings but still a logical way to solve. Thanks :) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Slawdog @ #73103: Enjoyed that! Just make sure the Raccoon category accepts 'Raccoon' as well, as I believe you've spelt it 'Racoon' (1 year, 9 months ago)

Ro @ #73070: Nice (1 year, 9 months ago)

st @ #73104: I think the sitcom is spaced not space. And should accept 6 as well as six. (1 year, 9 months ago)

DP @ #73078: Thoroughly entertaining as always. Hit the puzzgriddy when I answered with one lifeline to go x (1 year, 9 months ago)

mrpuzzgrid @ #73102: lets play football lets play foot world cuuuuup lets play football (1 year, 9 months ago)

Rob @ #73091: Nice grid. I don't know why I find the explanation "sweetcorn mascot" so funny! (1 year, 9 months ago)

theATCguy @ #72850: Nice well rounded grid (1 year, 9 months ago)

theATCguy @ #73073: Enjoyed this one a lot (1 year, 9 months ago)

Andrew @ #73090: Nice attempt. Thanks. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Tim @ #72669: This grid made me want to pour bleach in my own eyes over suffering through the disgrace that was presented, I wish to curse the pets of the creator to 7 generations of bad fortune and an eternity of repentment. Also I liked the tea category, very good overall (1 year, 9 months ago)

RhythmiCon @ #73088: Hey, nice connections, but didn't accept 'maths tools' or 'synonyms'...might be worth changing that :) (1 year, 9 months ago)

theATCguy @ #73077: Very enjoyable grid. Bands successfully caught me out, despite being a Supertramp fan :( . The shame clouds over me. (1 year, 9 months ago)

RhythmiCon @ #73093: Football connection doesn't accept 'football' :/ (1 year, 9 months ago)

Soup @ #73066: Nice grid, got me thinking :) (1 year, 9 months ago)

RhythmiCon @ #73091: Nice grid. I think perhaps the film one should accept 'films' though :) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73093: Easier than your usual offerings - but rated medium for me as I have no idea about who played for what teams (and rushed the Noel / Liam etc one trying to beat 45 seconds for all the grid and connections ! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Lucy @ #72994: Really enjoyed it. More please (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73090: Almost a good grid but one connection in particular is just too contrived and as such is its Waterloo! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nb @ #66395: Nice grid with good red herrings but head and dining can be swapped in the final solution so its not unique (1 year, 9 months ago)

Kristin @ #73039: Really good grid. Thx! (1 year, 9 months ago)

godfarter @ #73090: good stuff (1 year, 9 months ago)

godfarter @ #21280: chocolate rain (1 year, 9 months ago)

godfarter @ #73090: this grid is not so good (1 year, 9 months ago)

siddharth sunilkumar @ #72893: Valentines and halloween (for most professions) are not holidays. So the connection answer needs to be amended. (1 year, 9 months ago)

grnamp @ #72994: this one going give big time night yes i agree MMMMM (1 year, 9 months ago)

mal @ #73066: LOvely grid! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Seb @ #60710: clapped brev (1 year, 9 months ago)

M.mouse @ #73082: Halter not holter, also should accept circle (1 year, 9 months ago)

me @ #73066: (1 year, 9 months ago)

Dunedinhen @ #34856: Needed to think just a wee bit harder (1 year, 9 months ago)

andymunro73 @ #73087: Hmmm. I would say BLACK ice is not in the same group as ice_LAND, CAP, and BOX. Are we sure it's ok to mix prefixes and suffixes? (1 year, 9 months ago)

andymunro73 @ #73077: Brain wash!!!? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Liz @ #72994: Excellent and original! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73077: I disagree with Nighteyes - one part of a connection being a tad obscure makes things interesting - especially when it’s possible to deduce the answer. Chunk was very appropriate as it’s a Goonies red herring (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73082: Easy bit of fun :) Agreed on circle - I wouldn’t even allow geometry it’s too general (1 year, 9 months ago)

DahliaRey @ #73088: Neil, thanks… I was trying to remember what it was called at school! Geometry set! I’ll change that. Thought I’d do an easy one this time. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73088: A bit of fun and very easy BTW You only found those things in a pencil case if you’d lost the case for your Geometry Set …. Maybe amend to accept Geometry Set (1 year, 9 months ago)

Dahlia @ #73085: Football or footballers should also be allowed as an answer. Fun grid. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73075: Fun Incredibly easy if you are a certain age - (1 year, 9 months ago)

MICKEYB12 @ #73077: Good grid. Didn't know Chunk but managed to guess it (1 year, 9 months ago)

Freddgar @ #73083: Good grid Liked the Trump line 😄 You win by lots Thanks for posting (1 year, 9 months ago)

Freddgar @ #73082: Very good, straightforward grid Nice red herring 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 9 months ago)

Peamama @ #73086: Fun! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mister+Tom @ #73083: Nice range of connection types and topics (1 year, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #73084: Good grid, but I echo Fab1992's comments. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fab1992 @ #73084: Enjoyable grid but “artists” wasn’t accepted for some reason, maybe a glitch? Neither was “ological” which maybe could be changed? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Doglover @ #72645: Good grid (1 year, 9 months ago)

Pauline @ #73040: I agree with all the other comments, especially those of Puddles . (1 year, 9 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #73082: I too agree with Puddles. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #73075: Very easy if you are British and of a certain age. Very difficult otherwise. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Pauline @ #73082: Yes, I agree with puddles (1 year, 9 months ago)

Puddles @ #73082: Geometry category should accept "circle" as a key word (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fab1992 @ #73073: Really enjoyed this one. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #73075: In your answers you should give the slogan in the right order. (1 year, 9 months ago)

DaR @ #30596: Some people in the comments don’t seem to understand red herrings! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #73077: Indie bands are, pretty much by definition, too niche to have a place on any good wall. So no chunk please. (1 year, 9 months ago)

benj @ #73073: Liked that one. (1 year, 9 months ago)

George @ #73075: Just right for my age group. Must admit I didn't know two of the items but just put 80's ad for a point! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Dahlia @ #73075: I remember all of these! Fun! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Them! @ #73075: Too old for me. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #73072: Kitchenware group was my downfall too. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #73071: OK wall, my literary knowledge is lacking. However, it's Rubik's rather than Rubix. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Brian Cheese @ #73075: Love this one, excellent! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #73075: Would be better if 'advert' on its own wasn't accepted as an answer. (1 year, 9 months ago)

b @ #73072: I was doing really well until your peculiar kitchenware group (1 year, 9 months ago)

cazza @ #73066: Good grid (1 year, 9 months ago)

Catie @ #73059: Difficult for a non-Australian! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Paul @ #73073: Very nice! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Quizzling @ #73063: Brain just exploded - I ended up getting all of the connections despite not managing to find any groups! Fiendishly clever with all the crossing over. (1 year, 9 months ago)

jodfu4h @ #73066: this grid is a grid (1 year, 9 months ago)

bert @ #25258: notice you didnt put Ms Lords original profession !!! (1 year, 9 months ago)

RhythmiCon @ #73043: Great Wall, only gripe would be that perhaps Hinge and Bracket for Racket is a bit too much of an obfuscation, maybe just Bracket would've been better (1 year, 9 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #73042: Nice grid (1 year, 9 months ago)

Oli Destafanis @ #44122: 🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥😶😶 (1 year, 9 months ago)

me @ #72994: well, i like it (1 year, 9 months ago)

Dahlia @ #73066: Thanks Steve I missed that… I’ll add that possibility into the answer. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Steve @ #73066: The Kings group is ambiguous - as they are all equally famous people with the surname Ford Richard Ford (author) Henry Ford (industrialist) John Ford (film director) George Ford (England international rugby player) (1 year, 9 months ago)

RhythmiCon @ #73065: Nice! You got me with the primes; clever connections with the numbers. Well done! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Dahlia @ #54971: Loved this! (1 year, 9 months ago)

RhythmiCon @ #73066: Nicely, you almost got me with the kings! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Tom @ #73042: Very nice. Enjoyed that x (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nick Parker @ #73043: @Emily I tried Googling 'inelgin' and I have no idea what it means. I appreciate that people don't come back to read responses, but if anyone in the Puzzgrid community knows what that means I'd love to know. Even if it's not constructive, I can take it. :) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Dahlia @ #73062: Failed! But that was fun! (Love the Belinda comment). (1 year, 9 months ago)

LittleQuill @ #73063: Great minds! Though failed to get any groups as spent all my time cycling through the Mambo girls haha (1 year, 9 months ago)

Dahlia @ #72994: Really enjoyed this! (1 year, 9 months ago)

RhythmiCon @ #73052: This was satisfying to solve, though I did not offer the correct connecting for Prince songs! Thank you. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Dahlia @ #73042: Good grid! (1 year, 9 months ago)

RhythmiCon @ #73063: Enjoyed this, nearly stumped me completely until the last 30 seconds when they started clicking into place! (1 year, 9 months ago)

tomhcafc @ #72994: Good grid but need to allow more solutions - e.g. letters, numbers, directions (1 year, 9 months ago)

Katrina @ #73062: Great minds... My wall immediately above yours came from much the same place! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Catie @ #73054: The group containing marquess should accept “nobility” probably. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Finn @ #73058: Thanks.... (1 year, 9 months ago)

Katrina @ #73063: Happy International Women's Day! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Catie @ #73062: Enjoyed the tricky connection for the Belinda group (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73061: Nice game. You might want to change the extra info for Chicken, Rascals, etc. You've put Chicken Little twice but didn't include the Little Prince. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Myname @ #73052: First word of Prince songs... Really? (1 year, 9 months ago)

tim tom @ #73052: Lovely grid. Too hard for me, alas. Two red herrings in a single group is my only nitpick, otherwise super! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Rob @ #73052: Good grid (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73050: I did think "Shelly" was in another category because it wasn't spelt like the poem Shelley. Also "Underwear" should be an accepted answer. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Chev @ #73050: ShellEy!!!! MUG (1 year, 9 months ago)

t-star @ #73049: Nope, I mean troll. Lesser known, but hopefully fair. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #73047: T zone? F bomb? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Lily @ #73014: Not good (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jo @ #73040: I had the same experience. My correct answers were not accepted (1 year, 9 months ago)

JustRetired @ #73042: A really nice flow of red herrings. Solved it pretty quickly but it was right in my knowledge wheelhouse. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #73040: Terriers not accepted, even though that was the exact answer given! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Superdolly @ #73014: Pedant here Bran is not a grain it is a by product of the milling process! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Puddles @ #73040: "Terriers" not accepted, "Greek letters" not accepted, "chemical elements" not accepted. Please try to broaden the list of words that are accepted as answers. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Panda @ #72629: (Fun quiz, though!) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Panda @ #72629: There is no book of Paul in the New Testament. (He wrote epistles, but none are named after him.) You might want to rethink the name for that group. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #73012: @Fairy "Camping" is a RTS/FPS term for getting to a strategic point and just sitting there. It's well-known enough that, as a non-player of slightly advancing years, I was still aware of the context. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #73014: Very nice, and there was a bit of a red herring group going on (Eel, Brandy, Wheatus, Blue could all have been musicians/bands, in a pinch) And I remembered Action Jackson just fine, although in mitigation I am old. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Alison @ #69803: Same probs as others. Doesn’t accept VW models or contain a vehicle (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73027: Good wall, but some groups seemed very familiar, it was a little too wordy,so I had to restart, and four red herrings for one single group was a bit much. It all made sense though and works properly as a wall (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73025: Couldn't spring band course be swapped over between the off group and the river group? That would mean there are at least two equally valid solutions. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73026: Quite good and nice group and it works properly as a wall. Some of the links/groups feel very familiar, and having at least eight things that would have fitted into one of the groups feels like overkill on the red herrings. (1 year, 9 months ago)

count-snackula @ #73019: good grid, don't know what Fairy and Neil are complaining about (1 year, 9 months ago)

count-snackula @ #73014: action jackson? (1 year, 9 months ago)

George @ #73016: It's been decided. Nowt wrong with it (1 year, 9 months ago)

George @ #73019: Good stuff. Get over yourselves (1 year, 9 months ago)

VCM @ #73025: Offcourse is not a word. Neither is Offwhite. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Andrew @ #70523: Annoying that “Sprinters” wasn’t specific enough for the medallists! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Tom @ #73014: Great grid, only a few moments of success and then spent most of the time flailing around unsuccessfully. At least I know how Jesse Marsch feels now. (1 year, 9 months ago)

VCM @ #73014: Bran isn't a grain: it's part of grain. (1 year, 9 months ago)

DP @ #73014: Only knew the dogs. Shows more about me than the puzzgrid I'm sure! All the best to the rest of my competitors x (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73020: I really liked the opal and xxxl groups, but the mam group was a mixture of 'sounds like' and actual abbreviations, which I found unsatisfying. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #72999: Just to let you know, I had never heard of it, but apparently Accordion is spelt with an -on just like the musical instrument. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Trix @ #73020: Appreciate the originality TY (1 year, 9 months ago)

Hal+Jam @ #73016: Is it unique? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Karen @ #73002: Enjoyable grid. Thank you. My O grade French did me proud. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Alison @ #73014: Getting better (1 year, 9 months ago)

gridlington @ #72897: Cocaine Bear? Never heard of that! Is he Paddington's dodgy cousin from Colombia? (1 year, 9 months ago)

gridlington @ #72994: Very good! Solutions need to be broadened - didn't accept "directions" or "letters" (1 year, 9 months ago)

Andy @ #73010: Liked it. Took a while to get the changed names connection - didn't know about Turkey/Türkiye. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Arcadian @ #72897: Nice grid, sorting out the bears (1 year, 9 months ago)

David Rees @ #72994: Absolutely stunning grid! Very original and forced me to think of multiple things at the same time. Brilliant! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Arcadian @ #72994: (1 year, 9 months ago)

Arcadian @ #72994: Good! Different approach, quick enough to solve! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Ian @ #73014: Why couldn't I see the Eel group!? Deceptive ! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73016: I tend to avoid USA grid authors because of the prevalence of obscure NFL teams - as a UK grid at least these were obvious ones ! So a fun grid resulted :) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Lizzie @ #73010: This was fun! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #73019: Fun but very easy Racecar almost always means there’s a line of palindromes 9/10 times Charm is a quark, Dredd is a judge and Seuss a doctor…. But still fun (1 year, 9 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #72997: Good fun chasing them, TY (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #73012: Nice wall. Just thinking on the gaming terms. I've heard of farming when collecting resources. Grinding for doing a boring activity to get points, you save a game, but not sure about camp. Would it be best to say they are terms from computer gaming? Would they all apply to maybe one genre of games? Real time strategy? Or similar? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #73016: Great one. At first all you see is the zodiac. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #73019: Really nice one. Simple yet pleasing. My only complaint is that I won't palindromes and didn't get the point. But that was probably a programme glitch (1 year, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #73016: Good fun. but not sure about a couple of categories. I'll let others decide. (1 year, 9 months ago)

hippopotamu @ #72994: Really enjoyed this, thank you! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Kazza K @ #72994: Love grids like this! Thanks for posting :) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Andrew @ #73014: Weetabix. Good grid though. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #73012: Gaming terms? In which game(s)? Practically anything can be a gaming term if you include enough games. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Ben @ #73012: You spelt Austin wrong (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #73010: I enjoyed this one. Feeling smug for finally getting them all. The capital's one took me a while to click. (1 year, 9 months ago)

DP @ #72994: Cried during most of it. Enjoyed the game however. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Florence @ #70346: Really enjoyed this! Very original and nice red herrings in there (1 year, 9 months ago)

Florence @ #70358: Personally I enjoyed being left with eight Peters and trying to figure it out! Got it after a minute. Well done. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Florence @ #70476: Really enjoyed this! Not too hard but I liked the red herrings (1 year, 9 months ago)

Juliano @ #72766: It was hard (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jack @ #72994: Nice grid. Only improvement would be allowing N, E, S, W for the points of the compass group (1 year, 9 months ago)

Wilson @ #72766: I learnt what where adjectives and first person (1 year, 9 months ago)

Peter @ #73000: Wow. That was too tough!!!! (1 year, 9 months ago)

benj @ #72994: Spacemen 3. We must be from the same era. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #72994: Different thing to think about. Enjoyable and satisfying. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #72999: I would change the answer for Biff, Chip, Kipper and Floppy. The Magic Key was based on the Oxford reading tree books. There is also now a Biff and Chip Cbeebies programme with the same characters which some will reference (I now have the theme of that in my head. Grrr). (1 year, 9 months ago)

Stacks @ #72897: Soooooo many bears. Got there in the end though. Great grid. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jamie @ #44122: AWFUL I put the right answer if you ask me you should shut down the company it’s a waste of your time go do something useful in life (1 year, 9 months ago)

Pam @ #58372: I also got it wrong but was marked correct. I said numbers that can be turned upside down. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Finn @ #72994: Thanks (1 year, 9 months ago)

Finn @ #72999: Bit too fiendish for me.... (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fred @ #72994: Extremely enjoyable - thank you! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Bookwormneil @ #72999: Ooh a Great Wall! Perhaps add some other answers for Biff category. I’ve always known this series as either Oxford Reading Tree or simply Biff, Chip and Kipper :) x (1 year, 9 months ago)

Someone @ #57089: Having all of them have ___ before or after is pretty boring. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Someone @ #57284: Presidential middle names was a fantastic group. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Someone @ #58488: I don't think this one works as a grid. Trying to smash a crossword (without any clues to whether the word you get is right) together with this style of grid is just not suitable for a 3 minute solve. I have to write down all my clues which takes time. Not to mention some of the clues are pretty frustrating and don't accurately describe their clues: (Good place to cross = ford, come on...) Extremely difficult and not well put together. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Someone @ #72922: Black Night should be Black Knight. No good red herrings either, too easy. (1 year, 9 months ago)

nitpicker @ #72994: Something different! I like it. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Gatusalem @ #72961: Why capitalise only one group?? That makes it even more obvious that they form a group (as if it weren't easy already). All words should start with a capital here regardless, but why capital character names and not country names which are also proper nouns (and group names too lol)?? This gave me OCD (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72989: Sport group wasn't great taking half of each clue and adding four different sets of three letters to them to make a sport doesn't really feel like a connection. I'm in (1 year, 9 months ago)

benj @ #72980: Not really that niche. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jim @ #72989: Enjoyed it but that last group (sports) was very tenuous. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mv @ #72982: Good grid, I like. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Henry @ #72986: Basil isn’t a spice. What is www.Apple? Go on, type that into the address bar of your browser and see where that takes you. Next Friday is tenuous. This whole thing was dreadful and not in keeping with the original format. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Freddgar @ #72966: Nice and easy grid Couple of red herrings 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 9 months ago)

Rob @ #62397: Very good grid, the backward word group foiled me - clever idea (1 year, 9 months ago)

Katrina @ #72979: Jenni+D, thanks - all four actually! Iris is the Greek goddess of the rainbow as well. (1 year, 9 months ago)

FloOfTime @ #72966: @Lizzie e.g. glacial meltwater. Wherever ice melts, meltwater is what you get. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #72980: I liked the suit group, but the US football is too niche. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Erm @ #72986: Www.apple?? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Lizzie @ #72966: What is melt water? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #72965: I could not see the two in artwork for live not money. I knew there was another one but grrr (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #72986: Basil is a herb not a spice. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #72984: A nice and satisfying grid. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Toferino @ #72897: Good but let down by the body parts / face category. It's been done to death on here. Big yawn for that one I'm afraid. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #72979: Love that Iris could be in 3 of the groups! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #72978: Could do with a few red herrings. Also not sure abbreviations is really specific enough. It's a bit of a loose group. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #72980: Nice one. (1 year, 9 months ago)

JEREMY @ #72897: Best grid I've done, loved that pizza and pineapple were in the same category! Haha. Top work! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Katrina @ #72979: For Iris (1 year, 9 months ago)

Tim Symes @ #72959: Bog is also a loo (which is what I put) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Dompling @ #72941: Incorrect, they are ALL cultures. Yes three are also nationalities. But Jewish is not just a religion but also a culture like the others. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Dom @ #72965: Really great grid, having pan and hook in the captain category was a bit cruel (1 year, 9 months ago)

Otis @ #72967: Not sure about some of these. Haven't heard some of the phrases before. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Otis @ #72967: (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72962: Wel, that's a weird one. Very easy to solve, in thirty seconds. Three completely obvious and simple groups, and one jumble of conspiracy theories, with one 'clue' I find incomprehensible, even after googling. How was Neil Armstrong ever a scapegoat, and what was he deliberately placed at the scene of? (1 year, 9 months ago)

James Gibson @ #72959: good, but completed whilst drunk (1 year, 9 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #72486: I would have profited by being part of a team (1 year, 9 months ago)

Omegaman+ @ #72945: I like UK grids in the hope that I will avoid the US sports teams groups, which I recognise but can’t remember which sport they represent. I’ll give myself a point for US sports teams. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #72507: I played about a dozen of these. I like this one best. The specialized knowledge was all something any quizzer could be expected to know. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Omegaman+ @ #72937: I went with singers surnames. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #72954: Maybe come up with a better connection than “members of CSN&Y” since the four names are listed in the grid group - how about “members of the eponymous supergroup”. ? Otherwise quite a good easy grid :) (1 year, 9 months ago)

JustRetired @ #72951: Down goes FraZier! Down goes FraZier! Nice Grid ;) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Omegaman+ @ #72936: Agree about the birds and rhyming words should be included (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #72953: MCs & X-files just nowhere near my sphere of knowledge. Not that up on House Martin's either... (1 year, 9 months ago)

Indiscreet @ #72960: One of the categories can be completed correctly in numerous different ways detracts from it a bit (1 year, 9 months ago)

skinny @ #72962: teaser (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fisty @ #72959: Decent grid fairly straightforward (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #72961: To add a bit of a challenge to this one I would leave out "boys" in the band names and "white" from Walter White. That was a giveaway for me. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike208 @ #72945: Good grid. Shame the 3D shapes stood out as the words with changed letters seemed unusual (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #72960: Nice one (1 year, 9 months ago)

MereNovice @ #72915: @Richard Assuming you mean the Bidet group, I'd guess that he's included US as an acceptable answer. Sometimes it's difficult for the setters to provide a list of acceptable keywords that don't allow additional answers. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Florence @ #71030: So pleased to see Henderson's up there :) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Rob @ #72952: Great wall (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #72953: The cross section of people who know The X files, glamour models, the House martins and MCs is a small group, potentially just you! I knew the X files and the Hous we Martins. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #72954: Could do with a few over laps or red herrings. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #72959: Great wall. Got to love a red herring group. If course I tried it, but I knew it wasn't going to be it! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #72947: Cat. Seriously? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #72950: Trivially simple. (1 year, 9 months ago)

skinny @ #72953: only easy if you know them ;-) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #72955: No. Just simply no. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #72953: Later one was ludicrously simple, and this was impossible. A bit more balanced would be good. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #72954: Not much of a challenge. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Ian @ #72944: Enjoyed this grid. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Me @ #72918: This difficulty was hard Should have done less connective topics. And I didn't like the salad one. There were other connections that I tried and didn't work (1 year, 9 months ago)

Anastase @ #72951: Good grid. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Finn @ #72936: Nice grid....maybe just work on your definitions? Long legged wading birds is quite specific (1 year, 9 months ago)

Superdolly @ #72941: Didn't really like the Greek, Jewish, Ukranian, Armenian ''group'' as three are nationalities and one a faith so the group didn't really work the explaination was too convoluted for me. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Superdolly @ #72943: Novel approach I only got BOTW ! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72944: Great ideas and solvable in spite of a swappable pair of answers. I'm pretty sure Breton could swap over with Welsh, but I had a lucky guess with the Breton group combination. Also, very well done including 'indian ocean' in your link for the Christmas group, otherwise Christmas and Rock would have been interchangeable. Again, I only sorted those two groups from each other by a lucky guess. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72942: It all works and I can't see any swappable clues,but it feels unsatisfying. Three word play groups, and the Roger group items , except for Roger, are too obscure. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72939: Spoilers. The clues/links don't all work. For example, in the 'all contain meaty goods' group, of Frankfurt, Brussels, Hamburg, and Liverpool, only two contain meat HAMburg and LIVERpool, while three have meaty foods named after them, but require extra letters or a word to make the rest of the food Hamburger, Frankfurter, and Brussels Pate. It's not actually a group. If Chelsea had been in instead of Liverpool, that at least could have been an 'all have foods named after them' group. (1 year, 9 months ago)

M @ #72937: Fronted bands is enough (1 year, 9 months ago)

Dom @ #72936: I wrote birds and didn’t get it. That’s nuts. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72933: Loved the smut group,and got it in the first three second. Didn't sort any other groups and only managed one other link. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #72937: Congratulations on using Rishi as something other than an anagram of Irish :) I’m not sure I’d agree with the musician classification (and I’ve worked for three of the four) - It’s a bit narrow and doesn’t really fit them all. I’d say BI was punk rock and then main stream. Elvis Costello was associated by others with NW - but was really pub rock and Punk . (Stiff stable) I guess NW isn’t strictly wrong but it feels wrong to me :) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #72938: A nice if very easy way to start the day :) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Richard @ #72915: I wrote ‘music’ for the last connection and it still gave me 10 points. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Kristin @ #72936: Enjoyable! Not accepting long-legged birds seems a bit picky, but the grid was fun. Thx. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Angie @ #72918: If I’m being picky, the correct NATO spellings are Juliett and Whiskey. Enjoyed the grid but was a bit thrown by tennis. Assumed it was an obscure type of patience. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #72918: Nice grid Tennis is a clever obscure one for that group - could have been a great red herring if it had fitted anywhere else . (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #72921: Almost a good grid - let down by the requirement for the assumption that an Ex is automatically two faced. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Rob @ #72852: Great red herring group, I had fun with this. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Rob @ #72863: That "form of money" group doesn't quite seem to fit together - Loan and Donation feel more like reasons for transfer, rather than forms themselves. Lovely set of words overall though, it was fun to unravel this. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Rob @ #72874: Nice! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Rob @ #72881: Really nice grid - great red herrings and really satisfying connections! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Pauline @ #72888: Annoyed that it did not accept authors. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #72878: The ba group is too loose. Add drink to get things in the same category would have been ok. Or adding the same thing to each would have been ok. Or at least consistently making single new words. But this was so inconsistent that spotting the connection was just impossible. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #72880: Should have got keep etc. but missed it! So no confetti. (1 year, 9 months ago)

sic! @ #72883: Enjoyed the elaboration about the last connection :) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Guy @ #72888: I think not accepting "author" instead of "novelist" was a bit harsh - great grid though! (1 year, 9 months ago)

John @ #72888: Good grid. Would have had confetti if publishing companies and British PMs had been accepted. Oh well. Thx for the grid. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72885: Good, but a roux is a blend of butter and flour. I've never heard of one being made with cheese. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Paul Redmond @ #62154: Nice. Top Gear group got me though :-) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Meh @ #61959: Thanks. I corrected Showbusiness, but Margerine had to be misspelled to fit the link - that was an extra clue! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Paul Redmond @ #62228: German, English, Italian - could all be used in the school subject group, and French could be in the Languages/Nationalities group (1 year, 9 months ago)

Sarah May Henningham @ #72874: Nice quiz :) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Them! @ #72840: Dentists lob amalgam- it’ll hit me later but who’s the US president here? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Chris Ditchfield @ #72830: Lima beans aren't a thing in the UK. They're butter beans here. And the stoned one was a bit regional too (1 year, 9 months ago)

Ellie @ #72445: Quire is the correct spelling. It is the area used by the choir (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72840: Good ideas but not much fun because it was so cluttered and wordy. All the same type of hidden word clue, and far too much to read and remember. Spotted all the links really early on but had to restart, because by the time I'd found all four or five that fitted each link, I'd forgotten one or two. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72838: Fab ideas, but not a valid grid. Rooster and Rose can swap with each other - both equally 'associated with red' and both emblems on six nations rugby badges, so there are at least two equally valid solutions to the grid (1 year, 9 months ago)

b @ #72830: Peculiar stuff in here like Grad school and adjectives for "stoned" which I don't care for, and frankly I don't think should be included in a puzzle like this - just in poor taste. (1 year, 9 months ago)

cazza @ #72838: Some very different connections which made the grid challenging and fun to solve (1 year, 9 months ago)

POOKMAN6+ @ #72840: Brilliant. Love grids like this (1 year, 9 months ago)

cazza @ #72840: Excellent grid - very challenging (1 year, 9 months ago)

Myname @ #72830: The stoned one seems regional... (1 year, 9 months ago)

SATAN-2 @ #72774: should have got a point for spelling "whisky" (no e) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72830: Nice and straightforward. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72837: Some half decent ideas, but not really thought through, so it doesn't really work as a wall/grid with only one valid solution. Zebra can swap to the grass group taking the place of either spear or blue, as both are also types of fish. The 'police' group is hugely vague, so blue could swap with copper, as that's also a kind of grass. Bill could move to the fish group, moving Zebra to the grass group and blue could then take Bill's place in the police group. I still solved it in forty seconds, but only because the group links leapt out atme and I made two lucky guesses early on, which left me with two groups that had only one pair of swappable answers.

Terry Dactyl @ #72835: A nice range of connections! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nick Parker @ #72836: @Paul. Maybe it's just a UK thing. Over the last 40 odd years there have been signs in swimming pools telling you what you are not allowed to do. Petting is one of them and it means you are not allowed to be amorous with another person. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Paul @ #72836: I have no idea what it means to pet in a pool???? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70025: Caspar and Balthazar aren't mentioned in the Gospels. The Magi are mentioned in only one gospel- they aren't named and there's not a specified number of them. The western church tradition of three and the names came later. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Alex Knight @ #72034: Good amount of red herrings! Really liked this one (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72831: Well constructed, nice and straightforward. My only complaint would be that all the groups had the same kind of connection - all word puzzles rather than general knowledge. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #72830: There were rather more terms for high than just the four and your one red herring !! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #72812: Kim etc. Entertainers. (1 year, 9 months ago)

UStralian @ #72676: Yeah, restaurant is a little generous, but it's the category they'd put themselves in. I'll change it to "fast food/beverage chains" for accuracy. Starbuck is important as a red herring though. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Tim @ #28219: Loved this (1 year, 9 months ago)

Joni @ #72774: Thank you all for saying what I was thinking. Cheers. (1 year, 9 months ago)

JustRetired @ #72801: A good, fun grid...but I think the the category containing India might be a bit broad as it would tend to be a rule rather than an exception. Perhaps turn that specific category around? (1 year, 9 months ago)

H @ #72774: Ha ha I came on to say johnnie walker is whisky not whiskey. Annoyed of Scotland (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #47: Lovely and easy to solve in 28 seconds, but the US state abbreviations could have been anything - for example, all could be turned into words by following with le - male vale pale gale -though that would have left Ni and Ga as swappable. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72783: Too niche for me. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Arcadian @ #72761: Jeez. Not half obscure enough. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Dan @ #72743: Very fun grid. Might be a good idea to expland what's accepted for the clergy category - i put 'religious offices' and got an X (1 year, 9 months ago)

David @ #72664: Your cities also have famous rugby teams, so should accept rugby (1 year, 9 months ago)

JustRetired @ #72358: Fiendish indeed. Not sure how many people would get the cell category. You have to be on your game to get the other 3. I wasn't. But not unfair by any means (1 year, 9 months ago)

IainT @ #72740: Tantalisingly close - good challenge. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #58641: Good. I nearly didn't get the Mrs Brisby group, because her name's Mrs Frisby in the book, so I thought it was a red herring, but then I realised they changed her name for the film. (1 year, 9 months ago)

JustRetired @ #72734: nighttime, thanks for the feedback. I guess it's always tough to figure out where your own knowledge isn't common. In truth, I had considered replacing backhand with something else because it was too easy. I am guessing someone in Minnesota etc. would find this far easier than someone in, say, Alabama. Without a spoiler, can you give me a word from a category that you think is too niche? (1 year, 9 months ago)

JustRetired @ #72734: ExRanger, I'll admit that Urinate was not my, er, #1 choice. Got a suitable replacement? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Antny @ #72739: Nice grid, thank you (1 year, 9 months ago)

Ant @ #72736: Not a bad grid, but I feel some of the Dad's army actors were a little too obscure. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Paul @ #72730: Very nice - 5 stars! (Even though I hate connection that involve 3 of one and one of another - change first letter, change first letter, change first letter ... change random letter elsewhere in word. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72737: Good grid - solved in good time, but I couldn't get the link for my third group. I got cities, but my geographical knowledge ended there. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72741: Nicely thought through grid. Nothing too niche/obscure, a few red herrings to keep it interesting, and no answers that could be directly swapped over. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mal @ #72716: Really fun grid, thanks for sharing! And yes, its called a right triangle in US English. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Heather @ #72369: Suggest accepting "astronomical body" (1 year, 9 months ago)

Heather @ #72716: Excellent red herrings! Loved it when I found the fish parts. And I'm Canadian so we're halfway in between American and British in our language usage hehe and we definitely can say "right triangle" here! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Heather @ #72717: Recall is adding -call to a word, whereas phone call is 2 separate words. These really shouldn't be combined into one category. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Heather @ #72721: Never heard of a "Kite mark", or a "German market". The overall "mark/market" theme is cute, but some of the details in the solutions are a bit forced IMO. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72716: Never heard of Right angle triangles being called right triangles until googling this just now,so it's either a term that was coined after I left school, or an Americanism. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #58136: Failing to get 10/10 on this is a small price, and one more than worth paying, for complete blissful ignorance about Bruno Mars. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Paul @ #72700: Nice groups! Very fun. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72023: Would have been quite good, but made a little too challenging because it's basically wrong. There are only three terms in the academic year at Oxford - Michaelmas, Hilary and Trinity. Cambridge has three terms Michaelmas, Lent and Easter. Neither one has a 'summer' term. If Trinity or Easter had been in the group, you could have got away with 'Oxbridge' or ''Oxford and Cambridge'. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70658: Very good, and solvable in just over two minutes, but there are several equally valid solutions, as Churchill could swap into the PM's group, with May, Wilson or Baldwin (though he was fictional) swapping into the famous Michaels group, and Crawford moving to take Churchill's place in the Landscape features group. The easiest way to make it work like a proper wall would be to change Crawford for something else. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72706: Good, but could have included confectionery, d'oyly carte /musical comedy, and game for three group links. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72506: Very good. No idea why I couldn't get the hopes and ball links (1 year, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72703: Good grid, great red herrings. Out of the eyes group, the only one I'd heard of was eyes, so had no hope at all with that one (1 year, 10 months ago)

Jon @ #72688: Spelling mistake changed-thank you. The Titfield Thunderbolt is a steam train, so you could say it’s steamy rather than saucy! For passport to Pimlico- I don’t consider myself as old and know what it is, so not sure what else to comment other than it’s an old comedy film. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Dan @ #72674: very fun - knew the categories but couldn't untangle the trains and golden boot winners at the end (1 year, 10 months ago)

Dan @ #72678: No problem with quizzes being hard, but this was very poor. Enjoyed the shipping forecast homophones, but the wedding rhyme is basically impossible. It is like in cryptic crosswords - you should never have a substitution and an anagram there, it can only be solved by the setter. The chirality clue also doesn't hold together (1 year, 10 months ago)

YoumaycallmeV @ #65335: Turkey slices are processed but that's not what you put in the grid. Most people would understand turkey to mean a whole bird, which isn't processed. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Nagging Hag @ #72643: Phobias are a bit unspecific - there are so many rather odd ones, like "Pachydermophobia" (Fear of elefants) or there's possibly even "tentphobia" (but that might not be a recognized phobia, but simply a specific case of claustrophobia). In any case - almost everything in the 'circus' group can bin switched with almost anything in the 'phobia' group. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72667: Good ideas, but I disagree with Puzzgrid being in the word games group - there have been purely numerical grids, and quite a few picture grids on here. Also, crossword could swap over with Scrabble, boggle or hangman, so there are several equally valid solutions to the grid, which isn't really how the grids are meant to work.

H @ #61602: The clever name anagram to solo is cute but misleading, 'solo' can be many things. I respect that you're spicing it up but staring at 16 words for 3 mins is rough. Maybe have one group that's Norwegian cities and not have homophones so then at least I stood a chance 😆 hah. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Here are the four categories I have identified: Actors who played iconic characters in movies: Mark (Mark Hamill played Luke Skywalker in Star Wars) Heath (Heath Ledger played the Joker in The Dark Knight) Male given names with four letters: Jack Paul John Biblical names: David Jude Anakin (Anakin Skywalker is named after the biblical figure Anakin) Female given names with five letters: Leia Lisa James (can be a male or female name, but also fits with this category) So, the final grouping is: Actors who played iconic characters in movies: Mark Heath Male given names with four letters: Jack Paul John Biblical names: David Jude Anakin Female given names with five letters: Leia Lisa James (1 year, 10 months ago)

JustRetired @ #71517: My brain hurts. I had to back up and re-start a couple of times. A perfect score in the allotted time for this one would be genius level. There are so many levels of abstraction here. Nicely done (1 year, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72442: Clever, but just too many different joining words to work out,remember and link in the time, especially with a couple of clues where I couldn't choose where the missing word went in, and ared herring or two in there as well. Easy to see all the links once it resolved, but I only sorted one group in the three minutes. Too frustrating to be really enjoyable. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Alex Lewis @ #72428: Great fun! Super hard (1 year, 10 months ago)

Chorizo @ #72413: Enjoyable! (1 year, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72423: I was lucky to pick out the col group first. After that it was pretty easy to spit two other groups. Fun and logical -the Bequeath link was tricky though. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72385: Nice grid. Fairly straightforward, and no ridiculously obscure knowledge required. (1 year, 10 months ago)

mindy @ #72375: Swan's not so likely to be found on a farm geese perhaps. (1 year, 10 months ago)

daxw @ #72413: A good grid. Albeit with some pretty familiar categories. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Neil @ #72418: Good grid with overlapping connections (1 year, 10 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #72385: Lovely. Thank you. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72404: Good ideas but there are a few mistakes that mean the grid doesn't work. The phrase is 'Mother of Parliaments' not 'Mother of Parliament', there's no variety of apple just called 'Green'. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72380: Good ideas, but C and I could swap over and D and V could be swapped, so there are at least four equally valid solutions to the grid, using the group links you've got. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Neil @ #72413: Nice grid - clever multiple overlaps of groups without overdoing it (1 year, 10 months ago)

JMelb @ #72409: Its not me. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Ab @ #72404: Piffle……..green apple is a granny smith and Beryl is not a gemstone it’s a family of stones which include Emerald (1 year, 10 months ago)

Uncle Sam @ #72392: Harder than the first one. A great uncle once told me he could drive a plum, but turns out it’s not technically a vehicle. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Uncle Sam @ #72390: Good grid for kids! Hope he makes more. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #72375: Agree with Gill not likely to find a Swan on a farm. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Nonsense @ #72385: Sorry. I blithely assumed that the sungular would include the plural, but not in this case. The wonders of the English language never cease. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Nick Church @ #72386: no zoo in bristol (1 year, 10 months ago)

theATCguy @ #72385: Very enjoyable grid, although I put 'missing US cities' and didn't get the point :( (1 year, 10 months ago)

Elyon @ #36205: Really nice! I think there might be a typo for le musée du Louvre, there's a C instead of a D (1 year, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72382: Nice ideas, but the Dora group was fairly obvious and Luxon group seemed scraped together. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72373: Well put together, but none of the 'general knowledge' groups were knowledge I have or have the faintest curiosity about. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Gill @ #72377: I'm afraid it is volcano rather than volcanoe, which ruins the 'boats' set (1 year, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72377: Quite good (1 year, 10 months ago)

Gill @ #72375: Not really sure about finding a swan on a farm (1 year, 10 months ago)

mal @ #72315: Very easy but not bad. Really need 'people you worship' as an answer though (1 year, 10 months ago)

Abby @ #72329: Obscure doesn’t come close to describing this (1 year, 10 months ago)

Ren6175 @ #72190: Thank you. Corrected. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #72304: Not hard, and welcome for that. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #72327: Hate to agree with @ Malcontent but yes light and fly are interchangeable. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #72327: Got me, WD, TY (1 year, 10 months ago)

Trigger @ #72363: Not too bad (1 year, 10 months ago)

Matt Harmon @ #72339: Asp, King, Boa and Brown (1 year, 10 months ago)

Enzed @ #72327: Nice. That was fun (1 year, 10 months ago)

b @ #72304: Pizza pilgrims? And it's Shepherd's Pie, not Shepherd. Fairly important difference. Have you ever tried eating shepherd? No, I thought not. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Rustic @ #72330: Good one (1 year, 10 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #72323: Do you mean Blue-footed Booby in the Galapagos group (1 year, 10 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #72322: The Auf Weidersehn Pet group is actors surnames not characters surnames. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72329: Interest ideas (1 year, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72327: Nice and simple, but there are at least two equally valid solutions to the grid. Light and Fly can be swapped over between the boxing weight group and the white group. There may be other direct swaps too, but that was the one I noticed straight away (1 year, 10 months ago)

napawo @ #72301: Easy but fun (1 year, 10 months ago)

tiger king @ #72198: I really liked this grid. Fun. However, it started an argument over whether tomatoes belong in guacamole. (1 year, 10 months ago)

cazza @ #72288: Very different & hard to spot the connections but good grid. (1 year, 10 months ago)

cazza @ #72315: Good fun (1 year, 10 months ago)

Daxw @ #72267: Never mind fluent Spanish, quite easy if you know basic Spanish. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Greg @ #72295: Not the best. (1 year, 10 months ago)

JEREMY @ #71557: Some nice links, but Hughs and Hughes are not the same and the groups aren't tight enough when the name can be added at the beginning or the end. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Adriano @ #72306: Good grid, thanks. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Hal @ #62711: 8seconds on the clock, tough, but I got my confetti 🎊 (1 year, 10 months ago)

Garbo @ #72267: Quite easy if you're fluent in Spanish (1 year, 10 months ago)

Garbo @ #72305: This was... weird. Why are all except one group capitalized? Plus, Affleck and Cavill are both spelt wrong which made me think there was a group of purposely misspelt surnames of actors... but no. Sloppy grid. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Chin 02 @ #72304: Great grid. Please do more! (1 year, 10 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #72301: Nice wall, could do with a few more red herrings... if that's possible? (1 year, 10 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #72304: Never heard of pizza pilgrims or pizza planet! (1 year, 10 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #72305: Apart from the James group the rest, for me, was down to guesswork for the 3rd/4th in each group (1 year, 10 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #72313: I suppose I should have known that a wall posted by someone called Filmbuff would be impossible for me to complete!! (1 year, 10 months ago)

HMK74 @ #72301: Thanks Chris, now fixed. (1 year, 10 months ago)

sib @ #72267: not English (1 year, 10 months ago)

Finn @ #72272: Nice grid....lots of red herrings (1 year, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72265: Really good. Took me two minutes because I've never heard of Dearest, or Lemon in connection to their groups. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Tim Symes @ #72272: Very good Not up tp scratch with my stitching so failed there. And on reflection, thinks Another word for seafoam is needed (1 year, 10 months ago)

Daniel A Solis @ #72219: Fun! (1 year, 10 months ago)

Hal @ #63041: Good grid, eleven had me distracted by 'Stranger things' My only feedback would be the bands group, it's like having a group: iced vovo, Anzac, pavlova and lamington. alling them all Aussie desserts/sweets starts a trans-tasman debate! Just the same as Crowded House (1 year, 10 months ago)

Fairy @ #72197: Very challenging. I have to say the politics one may have been a bit tenuous. I'm familiar with all 4, but would never have thought of that connection. There are about 10 with double barrelled names in the HoC at the moment. (1 year, 10 months ago)

zbj @ #72188: nice one! (1 year, 10 months ago)

Neil @ #72166: Very nearly a good grid But University Societies? Maybe at some Uni’s - Maybe at the one you went to - but definitely not universally - there are societies for all sorts of things at Unis - the connection might as well have been “they are all words” (1 year, 10 months ago)

Nb @ #65309: Some of the definitions are pretty loose making it quite challenging, still fun. Disinterested goes a step too far, though. It means without a vested interest. The word you want is uninterested. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72132: Not good (1 year, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72132: Nice super simple grid, except that there are at least two equally valid solutions. Tomorrow Never Dies & The World is Not Enough are both Bond films and both films starring Pierce Brosnan one can't go in the Bond group and the other in the Brosnan group, or they're completely interchangeable, which isn't how the grid's are meant to work (1 year, 10 months ago)

Bondaru @ #71066: I just tried my own puzzle after a few weeks, and it was quite difficult (I don't design them for a timer) (1 year, 10 months ago)

Rob @ #61208: Great idea, good grid (1 year, 10 months ago)

Loin+El+Richie @ #72045: Top notch (1 year, 10 months ago)

HennHawk @ #72044: Love this Quiz! great Concept. just not long enough for my mental maths. The Tomorrow clue is genius! Some of the just word clues messed with me though (1 year, 10 months ago)

Rob @ #72044: Really liked this one! (1 year, 10 months ago)

Rob @ #72000: "Cars" wasn't recognised as a correct answer for the group containing characters from the movie Cars... (1 year, 10 months ago)

Hal @ #71870: I think your grid is a little broken (1 year, 10 months ago)

H @ #72035: It's mussel! (1 year, 10 months ago)

H @ #72029: Nia is a fairly common Welsh name. But Lea would usually be Lee, Leigh, or Leah - first usually boys, last pronounced lee-a. Should summerslam etc be pay per view? (1 year, 10 months ago)

Hal @ #72030: That group is inappropriate unless you're referring to the former rugby league footballer, professional rugby union coach, the American visual artist and of course one half of the White Stripes duo... (1 year, 10 months ago)

H @ #72009: Awed sounds nothing like odd! And the g in lasagne isn't strictly silent - it modifies the n. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Charlie Hall @ #71914: Good (1 year, 10 months ago)

Paul Redmond @ #70225: Firearms? (1 year, 10 months ago)

Daniel A Solis @ #71997: Great grid! Just my style. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Tom @ #72021: Maybe add a few more options for the diseases category. I tried illness, fever and infection but didn't get it! Other than that, good grid. (1 year, 10 months ago)

SuperT @ #72029: Not just you HennHawk Nia?????? (1 year, 10 months ago)

Kristin @ #72028: Fun! Thx. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Val @ #72008: Wikipedia says dice can be both plural and singular :( sorry about that. The bowl is actually rice 🍚 For over it's overhead, oversee, overhear and overcoat. I've had this idea for an emoji wall but unfortunately it might only work in my head 😃 my husband didn't solve it either. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Micharn @ #71997: Well done Hippopotamu! Another successful grid. 😃 (1 year, 10 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #72025: Not remotely on my wavelength, didn't have a clue! (1 year, 10 months ago)

Stephen Toyshop @ #72023: What’s a fish ladder? (1 year, 10 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #72020: Would have scored this higher if it wasn't was for Lagos error. Abuja is now the capital of Nigeria. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #72012: Fun (1 year, 10 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #72015: Liked this one. Didn't see the final connection until I had to name it. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #72023: Good but very tough. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #72014: Nice wall, although I didn't get the Still Game connection as I have no idea what Still Game is! (1 year, 10 months ago)

Cybersurfer69 @ #66809: worst one yet (1 year, 10 months ago)

quizzer @ #72020: Lagos hasn't been a capital for 30 years (1 year, 10 months ago)

Pauline @ #72020: Why did it not accept "capital cities" as an answer? (1 year, 10 months ago)

Tyler @ #72012: Should probably allow it to accept "Clue" as well as "Cluedo" when setting a puzzle. Otherwise, lovely grid. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Shane @ #72016: Simply ridiculous (1 year, 10 months ago)

Avenger @ #65235: Ear piercings? I will take your word for it. When giving shell as an answer for the ... erm ... shells, I was surprised to find it was not deemed correct. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #35356: A different approach, but fairly straightforward. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Tania @ #72006: 2 of them completely defeated me. I don’t share the setter’s cultural references unfortunately (1 year, 10 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #35352: Fairly easy, but a nice wall (1 year, 10 months ago)

Loin+El+Richie @ #71998: Memorising the shipping forecast areas was so worthwhile I'm glad I did it. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #72008: Nice idea but doesn't really work. In the 'ice' group I get slice and mice, but there is only one die, not two or more dice and is the bowl a bowl of ice? In the 'over' group are you saying overear or something else? (1 year, 10 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #72000: Complete guess for the last two groups, so no surprise I didn't get the connection. Perhaps should have known the Jeeps but never seen 'Cars' (1 year, 10 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #71999: Apart from the bones group, mostly well outside my sphere of knowledge. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #71994: Well put together. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #71976: Very easy, but fun. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Kristin @ #71973: I enjoyed the challenge! One tiny complaint: I didn't like the flying-tone clue, especially the tone part. I would have preferred a true pair such as blank Ventura, blank Frehley, or hardware (a common store in the US. Thanks for the grid! (1 year, 10 months ago)

Kristin @ #71994: I liked the cosmic crisp group. Wish that gems would have been accepted for the diamond group. (1 year, 10 months ago)

troemyd @ #71984: Ditto prince comment, but also I don't think all those words are strictly onamatapoeia - for instance, 'Ahh' is just the written interpretation of the sound, not quite the same. (1 year, 10 months ago)

weegieman @ #71931: Not bad, though I might quibble with a couple of the connections. Real Madrid etc. are all football clubs, even without the Mourinho link, and Jam etc are all music groups without the food link. Just a quibble though. (1 year, 10 months ago)

weegieman @ #71933: Excellent. Smashing red herrings kept me flummoxed. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Elbe @ #71905: Nice theme :) (1 year, 10 months ago)

William @ #71929: Very good grid, but perhaps too clever at one point. Country should be an acceptable answer for the line with four countries in it. No reason to require a complicated connection when a simple one also exists. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71909: Good, but one link term was very obscure and impossibly over specific, when towns or cities was enough to differentiate all of them from the other groups (1 year, 10 months ago)

gridlington @ #71865: Loved the Atticus line (and very pleased that I cracked it). It doesn't accept "trades" as solution for the jobs line tho. (1 year, 10 months ago)

N @ #33801: Really nice concept - a couple of minor issues: "Number of letters" was not accepted. Roman numerals - two Ds in the clue is misleading. Prime factorisation should be 3x3x7 for 63. Apart from that, very enjoyable! (1 year, 10 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #71855: London as a female name? Got the group, but that one has obviously passed me by. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Saint John Smythe @ #51703: Enjoyed the grid, but the Hurricane is not a Jet, it’s a propellor aircraft. The Falcon is more commonly associated with the Business Jet of that name. “Aircraft” is the correct solution. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Toferino @ #71853: Wow, how many presidents?! At first glance, impossible to solve with that many, almost gave up without even trying but then started spotting some connections.... and realised that actually this is a very clever grid, intended to mislead and divert, yet solvable. Challenging in all the right ways! Well done. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Toferino @ #71852: Tough grid to solve! I got all the categories and lots of crossovers. Nice job. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Toferino @ #71848: Didn't spot the palindromes, which is annoying as there's plenty of those on this site. I went for anagrams instead, which wasn't accepted. I put it to you that a palendrome IS an anagram... ok, arguably a very specific subset, but still an anagram. But then technically every word is an anagram.... discuss. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Toferino @ #71849: Umbrella insurance? Had to Google that one. Didn't solve the wall but got all the categories. Nice grid. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Toferino @ #71846: Clever grid! Quite original, which can be a bit of a rarity after almost 80,000 submissions. Liked the soft drinks category, though there are too many of them to cycle through, it was easy to eliminate them by solving the other categories. One thing, I struggled to describe one or two of the categories in a way that would be accepted as an answer. 'Language', for example, not accepted but I know what I meant. Similarly for folklore, I went for 'mythical'. Not that I'm bothered by the lack of points awarded. I knew what I meant, and I know I meant what you meant you meant. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Toferino @ #71855: I found all the categories, and I like that you had a common overall theme running through, but I wouldn't say that overall theme is immediately obvious.... don't meet many Boudicas or Cleopatras these days, and Paris doesn't immediately jump out in the context of the theme. Very nice idea, though. Could do with a little refinement but it holds up. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Neil @ #71690: A tricky grid to rate The connections were all obvious but without a knowledge of US state numbers and whatever Shanghai refers to the grid is impossible . Requiring the same specialist knowledge for all the connections rather dulls the grid with only 21 being possible by illumination What’s more as a HHGTG fan since its first radio broadcast - I feel compelled to pedantry. The Meaning Of Life is a Monty Python film and has nothing to do with Hitchhikers’. 42 is the answer to the ultimate question of life the universe and everything. It is not the meaning of life !!

Malcontent @ #71648: Nice, quick solve. Thank you. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71605: Nice and simple, once I got past the off-putting jumble of letters. Logical groups easy to understand. Managed it with more than half the time left, which surprised me, as I nearly gave up as soon as I saw it. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71688: Nice and straightforward for me, except the Moore group, which I managed to guess. Thank you. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Billy @ #71689: Good fun 😊 (1 year, 10 months ago)

William @ #71687: Good concept, great execution. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Puddles @ #71684: Agree with Malcontent. Also, for the animals group, Boxes would be better than Foxes if Ox is what you're hiding. (1 year, 10 months ago)

ads @ #71687: good grid with nice idea... maybe could have used some more obscure artists to make it a bit more difficult. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Angie @ #71681: Very enjoyable. Dot ball in cricket is where there is no run. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71684: Turkey isn't a great fit for that group. It's literally the same word. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Peamama @ #71680: Enjoyed this one TY (1 year, 10 months ago)

Peamama @ #71685: Liked it! (1 year, 10 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #71671: Please accept 'fun' as a compliment, however function was not accepted as an answer. Keep submitting and I will be kind and rewind for future grids. TY (1 year, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71653: Nice and straightforward except Phineas. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71681: Not too hard. Solved in less than two minutes. Never heard of Dot meaning nothing, but not difficult to guess around it (1 year, 10 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #71632: Thanks William for replying. I will take the point, but I also take your point. TY (1 year, 10 months ago)

EJ @ #71682: Oh how I loved these children's programmes! (1 year, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71677: Never heard of circling a parking space or squaring a ball, and I thought the point of the saying was that you CAN'T square a circle. Great ideas though. Satisfying to solve even though I couldn't make sense of all the links. (1 year, 10 months ago)

EJ @ #71681: Tricky! Thank you! (1 year, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71661: @Baz I've never heard the word 'pall' pronounced any other way than to rhyme with 'Paul', except in the placename 'Pall Mall'.The languages group was the second group I identified,so being two languages didn't put me at a disadvantage. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Superdolly @ #71662: Nice grid didn't get the runners lots of groaning when connection revealed (1 year, 10 months ago)

William @ #71632: I don't think head matches F..., unless you'd want 98% of people, that never had to play reverb on a guitar, to have no chance of making the association. I'd be happy to update the grid though, but I have (once again) not received the edit-mail. Do give yourself a point. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Mr. Ruth @ #71663: Good grid. South american country one kinda dumb. Have a nice day. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Tania @ #71653: tricky animates one (1 year, 10 months ago)

RBR45 @ #71605: good grid (1 year, 10 months ago)

st @ #71628: I put in homophones for the purple group. Should be included or one of the words amended to only fit with your answer. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Chris @ #71567: Good grid could do with some extra allowed answers for the Quad group (1 year, 10 months ago)

Corky @ #71630: Literally the only term you could use to describe the group containing 'James,' doesn't work (1 year, 10 months ago)

Adriano @ #71617: Enjoyed that. Thanks (1 year, 10 months ago)

RosyDanger @ #71617: Excellent- thank you! (1 year, 10 months ago)

RW @ #71621: None of the obvious type-ins worked - spaniel, sopranos, synonyms and stationery all rejected - and that last connection was misspelled as "stationary". I tried the quiz again to check, and even the misspelling was not accepted as an answer. Could have been a fun puzzle otherwise. (1 year, 10 months ago)

weegieman @ #64635: Nice one. Good variety in the answers. Also enjoyed learning about the gentoo penguin! (1 year, 10 months ago)

weegieman @ #71609: Not bad but needs more variety. All clues require a prefix or a suffix (1 year, 10 months ago)

Yerushalmi @ #71616: We do call it Scotch tape - but that term is not yet *legally* genericized and is still a trademark of 3M. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #71616: I want to blow you a raspberry, but I will refrain ( a five vowel comment. I thought folks in your country called it Scotch? TY (1 year, 10 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #71609: 🎊 time. TY (1 year, 10 months ago)

MR ONYON @ #71605: Good fun but way too easy - would enjoy another grid with some more obscure clues. These grids would be much better if they were able to incorporate red herrings (which in theory should be easier since the vowels can be different) (1 year, 10 months ago)

MR ONYON @ #71600: Bit too easy for my taste, and surely makes more sense to turn George into Gorge. Also 'stuff from Ireland' is a bit of a loose category. Otherwise good job (1 year, 10 months ago)

Madeleine Arnold @ #71605: Great grid! FR took me a while to work out!! (1 year, 10 months ago)

Sam @ #71605: Loved that :-) (1 year, 10 months ago)

Kristin @ #71586: Not familiar with eye fillet, so I was thrown for a bit, but a fun grid! (1 year, 10 months ago)

Dan @ #71598: Tricky! Another one where I got no sets but got 3 connections, was too busy trying to remember the source of the Old Bailey connection (Bloody secondary school literature 🤣) (1 year, 10 months ago)

Dan @ #71599: Bloody difficult, got no actual sets, but got 3 of the connections (1 year, 10 months ago)

JDawg @ #71587: Not bad (1 year, 10 months ago)

JDawg @ #71149: Really enjoyed this! 5 Star would do again (1 year, 10 months ago)

cazza @ #71567: Interesting connection - pleased that I got Beatles link first. (1 year, 10 months ago)

GS @ #71432: Agree with David. Brassicas and Same Meaning should be accepted (1 year, 10 months ago)

gridlington @ #71600: The Irish row needs to accept "Irish" as an answer. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Paul @ #71584: Lovely! (1 year, 10 months ago)

Max @ #71600: I laughed I cried I fist pumped the air (1 year, 10 months ago)

Myname @ #71577: Celebrity group didn't take performers which seemed unfair. Celebrity is a broad connection. Children's TV programmes didn't accept cartoon S. (1 year, 10 months ago)

a knob @ #71570: im just a knob (1 year, 10 months ago)

bert @ #14397: not sure KFC is a burger restaurant, think there's a clue in its name........ better connection might have been "fast food" restaurants ! (1 year, 10 months ago)

FURIOUS MAN @ #71583: Should accept "anagrams" as well as "backwards" conjunctions (1 year, 10 months ago)

gridlington @ #71587: Fun grid! But doesn't accept "von trapp" as an answer. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #71567: Pretty good. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #71594: Well constructed, however I agree with Dave. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Dave @ #71594: Two groups entirely overlap - the answer given for one of those groups is very obscure! (1 year, 10 months ago)

b @ #71412: Animal plural was a tame answer. Many people keep those as PETS. I doubt many have heard of Cliff Burton, and the "linked to a third" was weak, in my opinion - third reich, third man, even simply a third, fine, but then it's not third Richard, it's Richard the Third, which starts twisting the whole thing. (1 year, 10 months ago)

JEREMY @ #71477: Nice grid, but the animals category wasn't tight enough. The same letter didn't change and they weren't the same genus. (1 year, 10 months ago)

theATCguy @ #71586: Very enjoyable. Took me annoyingly long to clock the pattern (1 year, 10 months ago)

Michel @ #71556: I know you are supposed not to comment on connections but not accepting Vinegar or type of vinegar as an answer? Does it have to be "Types of Vinegar"? (1 year, 10 months ago)

EJ @ #71586: I liked this! (1 year, 10 months ago)

theATCguy @ #71578: Nice grid but I think it should be homophones not homonyms (1 year, 10 months ago)

b @ #71565: I thought Mounts should be accepted since you go on to put Mount in front of each of them. Weird. And Brits aren't going to know all assassinations in gun-made USA. (1 year, 10 months ago)

EJ @ #71583: Great grid. Thank you. (1 year, 10 months ago)

heather @ #70785: Just a tip: put the split between words at a different spot than the actual words. Makes it too easy. Fun wall anyway! (1 year, 10 months ago)

heather @ #70789: My main complaint: the emojis are very small, even with a decent sized grid on my laptop screen. It was tricky to figure out what some of them were. My secondary complaint: 'ice land' is a stretch, it was not clear at all that this was ice, for starters. My admission: while I had pondered 'bands' when I saw the possibility of 'the eagles', I failed to decipher any of the others, and became convinced that another one was "the war of the roses" and thus couldn't figure out how the rest of that group connected to 'wars' hahahaa (1 year, 10 months ago)

Puddles @ #71580: The Kendrick set is wrong: Ella B. Perkins doesn't fit (1 year, 10 months ago)

Omegaman+ @ #71103: I agree with David - card game terms ought to meet the criteria (1 year, 10 months ago)

Judy @ #71568: Had several combinations made me think (1 year, 10 months ago)

Omegaman+ @ #71078: Clock follows the words in that group but it is set to only accept clocks. If you use the singular it will accept the plural but not vice versa. And yes, Brunel was a great engineer. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Peamama @ #71558: How silly of mean! Edited! (1 year, 10 months ago)

William @ #71565: I actually wanted to add Mount as a linking term, but there was an error message upon completion that the mail-confirmation with the option to edit could not be send, so no linking terms will be added. Feel free to vote as appropriate for a grid with that omission and feel free to award yourself points if you typed in Mount. (1 year, 10 months ago)

David @ #71540: Agree with Enzed you could switch answers and still be "right" (1 year, 10 months ago)

Paul @ #71565: Good groups, but 'Mount' not accepted for mount xxxx??, and whats accepted for the assassinated (eg they were all shot). In the context of this grid, they were also american politican figures. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Paul @ #71563: Great grid. I'd prefer the names group looped back around (Short-James doesn't work) but very enojoyable anyway. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Adriano @ #71558: It’s Maisie Adam, not Adams. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Toby @ #51674: Good, but I would suggest more acceptable answers for "passing ways" and I felt like "common names" was a bit broad. But enjoyable grid, thanks for submitting! (1 year, 10 months ago)

Moondog @ #71542: All feature in 'The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe' The first published of the Narnia novels and as such is a correct answer. The description could possibly cause confusion for those who believe 'The Magicians Nephew' is the first book because it precedes 'The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe' In the Narnia timeline. It was published 6th in the series in 1955. I post this not to detract from the OP, bighernando, who was correct, but to clear up a point that may not have been clear in the description of the grid. (the fault lies in the restrictions of the web, not the OP or the owner of this website who provides us with so much entertainament and consternation by engaging us with each other) No citicism is intended or implied to any person, merely an explanation that is hopefully a constructive comment.

HMK74 @ #71511: @Annie I didn't include "dwarves" but did include "dwarfs" which is the correct spelling of the plural of someone with dwarfism. The term Dwarves only relates to Tolkeins mythical creatures. Take an extra point though 😀 (1 year, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71353: Nice grid, fairly straightforward but with enough crossovers to stop it being completely obvious straight away.

heather @ #70643: I agree that include "tank top" with the other "___ tank" is a bit too much. And there must be some way of accepting the latin number names instead of "months", after all, those months are thus named because they were the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th months at the time, thus sept-oct-nov-dec.

But I wasn't sure if this was supposed to be a grid "in spanish" or if figuring out foreign language clues was supposed to be the point. (1 year, 11 months ago)

lemonz5 @ #71382: Alan wasn’t accepted as an answer for the Alan group. I’m not sure who Eliza is but the other three are all title characters in children’s TV shows so I don’t think that’s too much of an issue but I can’t find a corresponding show for Eliza so perhaps Eliza should be something else to match the others? (1 year, 11 months ago)

heather @ #70619: Should accept singular "ranger" for sure. The 'green' shades are iffy. I don't agree that we can swap "jungle" out of greens because I've never heard of a "jungle ranger". But I guess I've never heard of "jungle green" either! (1 year, 11 months ago)

Shane @ #71353: Well, I like it. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Fairy @ #71382: Needs a little work. I think Titsmarch is meant to be Titchmarsh as Google shows no Alan's of the former. The characters in children's TV programmes needs narrowing down. Virtually every name could be a name of a character in a children's TV programme. I would try and limit names to either 1 particular programme or series. (1 year, 11 months ago)

If you buttonmash the submit-button, because the site is slow and you believe you have not been registred, the grid will be submitted twice, thrice etc. The few times I've done it, I solved one of the grids 5 times in a row, gave it a one star each time and practically speaking nobody saw it as it dropped off the main page.

Gatusalem @ #71313: Good grid. Putting Patricia Hitchcock in there is just genius. Well done. (1 year, 11 months ago)

count-snackula @ #71296: good grid, quite challenging as I hadn't heard of Joe Blow. I think it should be John Doe (1 year, 11 months ago)

Daxw @ #71284: Nice idea. I wasted 2 minutes thinking it was father & son, mother & daughter etc. After spotting the categories it was relatively straight forward. 10/10, good grid. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Adriano @ #71308: Ladykins? (1 year, 11 months ago)

Garbo @ #71269: @b You must be fun at parties... The -y words are there for a reason; so you get the red herrings of Germany (a country), Frenchy (a Pink Lady) + the rhymes Easy, Peasy, Japanesey (1 year, 11 months ago)

Adriano @ #71303: Nice grid. Thanks. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Garbo @ #71323: Agree with the other comments. The only reason I didn't write 'Roman' as a connection for that group is because I saw Jorvik which doesn't look or sound remotely Latin. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71307: Nice and straightforward. Thank you (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71323: Some good ideas, but needs heavy editing to work as a grid. Jorvik was the Viking name for York , Eboracum was the Roman name,so you've just got two groups of cities that have changed their names, one British and the other everywhere else. Also the longest reigning British monarchs group doesn't need the qualification 'longest reigning' as you have no other British monarchs on the grid. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Virapondus @ #71323: Requiring "Roman" for the group consisting of former names of English cities is incorrect. Yorvik was the Viking name for York, which is post-Roman. The Roman name was Eboracum. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71329: Oh God, not the months again! I was hoping they were a red herring and ignored them for a while. Apart from that, nice. I love the two simple knowledge groups. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Meh @ #71329: @Jon I went back and edited to include that right after I'd posted the grid. You must have started the grid really soon after I'd set it! (1 year, 11 months ago)

Kitty @ #71313: Great grid! Although Hudson et all didn't accept daughters of movie stars which was a shame. (1 year, 11 months ago)

b @ #71326: The Dracula group is poor, in my opinion. Three of them are kings - you needed another king; you didn't need to make the stretch to literary folk with noble titles, which is understating kings. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Pearl @ #71298: Nice grid. Good mix & nothing too 'niche'. Ty (1 year, 11 months ago)

HennHawk @ #71315: Good Grid. Got stuck on the Beach group for far too long (1 year, 11 months ago)

Cyrus Buckman @ #41043: i hate this , women should be paid a lot less then men in my opinion as we are better. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71321: Good ideas, but a couple of really obscure answers. Pretty tricky, and annoyingly I can't find any swaps to complain about. Thanks. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Paul @ #71314: Great work! (1 year, 11 months ago)

Liz @ #71305: Knew all the connections, but nothing I typed in was accepted, very frustrating. Maybe simplify them next time?? Still, a good grid. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Garbo @ #71313: Thanks Aodhan :) (1 year, 11 months ago)

Liz @ #71071: Spice World is an absolute classic, not really a musical though, but very funny, with an amazing cast (Richard E. Grant is brilliant!) and doesn't take itself serious in the least bit. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Garbo @ #71312: I believe I fixed it. I took out Lady Grey, so you can't swap her with Earl Grey anymore. I put Oolong in the tea category and Breakfast in the 'contain adjectives' category. And you can't swap Oolong with Breakfast, because as you correctly informed me, the tea name is English Breakfast. My mind hurts now. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Aodhan5 @ #71313: Great grid. Soooooooooo many red herrings. Love it (1 year, 11 months ago)

Aodhan5 @ #71313: (1 year, 11 months ago)

Ben @ #71296: Haven't heard of Joe Blow before (1 year, 11 months ago)

Garbo @ #71306: Hi Malcontent. Again, thanks for the feedback. I don't think there is a Santa Elsa, at least not in well-known place names etc. You're perhaps right about swapping Monica with Ana though. Santa Ana is definitely a thing, but I can't think of any popular Spanish actress called Monica that works internationally (And I am half Spanish myself). Were you thinking about Monica Cruz? (1 year, 11 months ago)

Garbo @ #71312: @Malcontent Thanks for commenting on my grids :) I think I try so hard to add red herrings that I end up with these cases were multiple solutions are possible + I hadn't even spotted that Breakfast includes an adjective. I might just edit it and swap Breakfast for Rooibos or something. I only just started making grids yesterday. Still learning. Thanks for the feedback. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71312: Good ideas but there are about a dozen equally valid solutions to the grid. Lady Grey can swap with Earl Grey, as they're both types of tea and both begin with titles (also, I'm not sure,but I think it's English Breakfast tea, not just Breakfast tea). Oolong could swap with Breakfast Lady Grey,or Green - Oolong is a tea, Fast, Grey and Green are adjectives (colours are adjectives as well as nouns). (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71306: Really fun ideas and very clever, but there are at least two equally valid solutions to the grid. Monica could swap over with Ana (or possibly Elsa). (1 year, 11 months ago)

rawbee @ #71234: That's fair, PotatoSalad - and it works for the red herring too. I've added that as an acceptable answer. (1 year, 11 months ago)

PotatoSalad @ #71234: Really good grid. Particularly liked the Vibex group - very clever. I put "rock and roll hall of fame" for the connection on Dylan, which is technically correct, so maybe add that to the criteria (obviously it's not *as good* as the actual answer, but it still feels specific enough that it should be accepted) (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71251: Very easy to sort all of the groups, impossible to get the right link terms, some of which must have been spectacularly over specific, going by the explanations, and one of which was difficult because two of the four words created were utterly obscure. (1 year, 11 months ago)

heather @ #70552: I answered "mini" and it was rejected. I accept that none of the answers were "mini", they were all "minnie" -- I had thought along the way that it was a mini/minnie homophone situation and failed to notice that in the end they were all minnies. So it was a legitimate reject. That being said, if this were a live game and I had SAID "they are all minis" it would have been accepted because they wouldn't see how I was spelling it in my head! ;) (1 year, 11 months ago)

I think "modern" would be a better description than "non-conventional" as at least one of them is conventional in certain regions, and "modern" works because all options are from the past 200 years.

Malcontent @ #71034: Some good ideas but the link terms were often too specific (e.g. vehicles should work as a link). Also there are at least three equally valid solutions to the grid using your link terms. Oscar and Romeo are both literary characters who died, so either one could swap with Juliet as that also represents a letter in the phonetic alphabet. It has potential to be a a really, really good grid, with some editing, but as it is, it just doesn't work, as it's only solvable by pure luck or mind-reading (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71035: Even if I spoke all those languages, there'd be too much to read or look at to do this wall in 3 minutes. Had to restart 4 times to get two groups. Too wordy and a bit too clever. Still satisfying to get the links after the wall resolved though. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71019: I liked the Henley group, but have googled all the members of the Joliver group and am still none the wiser about who they're meant to be or what TV shows they host. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Katrina @ #70952: @Martin Francis. Thanks for taking time to give your feedback, but I don't quite follow it. I added an L to Nobby to give Nobbly, R to Geoff to give Geroff, L to Bobby to give Blobby and S to Roger to give Rogers, so one additional letter in each case. (I know Rogers is a bit weak, but I wanted it as a red herring for the Mr group). (1 year, 11 months ago)

Martin Francis @ #70954: Homophones are very good (1 year, 11 months ago)

William @ #70944: "What is the daily show?" I realise this Grid is a bit wasted on those not familiar with The Daily Show. It s a satirical TV-show that has run for 27 years so far, the longest running show in the history of Comedy Central. For a good part of those years, especially during the Bush-era, The Daily Show was the main court-jester in American political discourse. If your adulthood happened mainly after 2010, you are forgiven for not knowing, but for everybody else it is a fair subject to presume knowledge of. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70996: Nice ideas. The homophones group doesn't work though, because carve just isn't a homophone of calf, and three groups based on body parts isn't really much variety. (1 year, 11 months ago)

ed @ #70990: waste of my life (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70963: Didn't really enjoy this one. Only solved one group, before running out of time, and couldn't get the link term. I got another link after the wall resolved, and was kicking myself for missing the group itself, but to be honest I didn't really understand the explanations two of the other three groups, including the one I'd sorted out. If I do vaguely understand those groupings, I don't really think they should be in the same grid, as there's a distinct overlap. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70947: Nice. I was lucky to guess an acceptable link term for the index group, without knowing your exact parameters, and very lucky not to have seen the possible ref herring groups before I'd sorted the grid. Good fun. Thanks. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Ian @ #70893: Mixing DIY with teeny pop. Didn't know where I was. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Michel @ #70890: I thought Taboo was from Fiji or around there not Hawaii - so perhaps widen out to pacific islands as connection (1 year, 11 months ago)

Ian @ #70897: Enjoyed this grid. Got fooled by Baccarat. (1 year, 11 months ago)

R @ #70897: Nice but I think "synonyms" should have been OK for the "words meaning hungry" group; and "units of measurement" should have been OK for the "carat" etc. group (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70850: Really good, groups, but could be more varied. Loved the Quin group. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Meh @ #70850: @Doc Filth. Sorry that's an editing mistake. His full name is Otto Gunther Octavius. I just must have missed it out when I was typing in the links. It doesn't affect clue, the links or the grid at all though, so I'm glad it was only that that I missed out. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Tom @ #54971: Superb! (1 year, 11 months ago)

Jeannie+Smith @ #70888: Why was 'add colour for band' not accepted? (1 year, 11 months ago)

Saima Uddin @ #70848: This is amazing should make more for revision lessons! (1 year, 11 months ago)

William @ #70889: Five stars. Nothing challenging as this is right in my wheelhouse, but I suspect one could easily use this grid to illustrate the concept to newbies. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Rob @ #70889: Love this - what a great idea ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (1 year, 11 months ago)

William @ #70886: Thanks for sharing. There are multiple solutions for the row including "w", so you need to expand the linking terms. The puzzle does hold up with only one correct solution, but there are multiple reasons why that one solution is correct. (1 year, 11 months ago)

William @ #70884: You have to provide an explanation as to why these items belong to a certain group. There is nothing obvious about the groupings and nothing is explained after the grid finishes. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Me @ #70869: Oaklahoma is not a film without an exclamation - it’s a mis-spelled US state Oklahoma! Is a film. As are all four of the stage musicals - twin connections don’t belong in perfect grids IMO (1 year, 11 months ago)

jayne @ #63845: I enjoyed this - but for the fact that walking sticks aren't curved! :) I suppose if they are the type that has a hook at the end they are. But not really. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Horatio @ #70859: The braini line doesn't work because only one of them is a word in it's own right. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Tyler @ #70859: Like Blooit, Sleep also baffled me, as I've never heard it used that way before. Otherwise the grid was good. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Horatio @ #70864: Jeannie is deluded and easily pleased. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Horatio @ #70864: The St Andrew line was hopeless, just a rando selection of saints because you wanted a red herring for St George (also a pretty weak line) - NOT GOOD. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #70864: Excellent- kicked myself that I didn't get the Beatles link! (1 year, 11 months ago)

Chris Ditchfield @ #70829: Mitch Albom is a new one to me. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #56565: No actual connections given for two of the groups. Not going to get into a spelling debate... (1 year, 11 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70832: You haven't actually said what the connection was for three of the groups. It can be assumed for two of them - Bond villains & scientific measuring scales (I presume?) but what is the third? Artists? Painters? (1 year, 11 months ago)

mattymungbean @ #70832: didnt except scales, didnt give the actually connection (1 year, 11 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70831: Hadn't previously heard of an HP Pencil. Learn something every day! (1 year, 11 months ago)

Michel @ #70831: Isn't it HB pencil?? (1 year, 11 months ago)

Quizzling @ #70813: Grid works fine, but you need to add more options to your accepted answers. The advice is to use the shortest form possible, e.g. "mark". (1 year, 11 months ago)

Quizzling @ #70821: Firm but fair! (1 year, 11 months ago)

Quizzling @ #70828: This fell quite nicely for me as a quizzer "of a certain age". Challenging but good. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Moondog @ #70805: Makes me realise just how much of my schooling I have forgotten. I got the simplest group, I failed badly on the other three. The answers highlighted much of the lessons I have lost. Mea Culpa, previously I would have aced this, now I know for sure I have lost knowledge to lack of practice.

Dark Knight @ #70562: Grim. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70817: Solved in about one minute, as some things obviously belonged together, but at least two links were incomprehensible, even after reading the 'explanations' multiple times. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #70723: Dreadful. I wonder if I can filter out your contrived, humourless grids? (1 year, 11 months ago)

Chris @ #42674: Very high brow and not very forgiving of answers! "Composers" is OK but "composer" is not? (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #64225: Paediatric not peadiatric. The spelling mistake had me wasting time looking for alternative items for the medical group and for a hidden word group. (1 year, 11 months ago)

BinDipper @ #70790: Thanks Tiny. Highlights how difficult it is to make a TV standard grid. Some nice red herrings and groups but not a unique solution and for obvious reasons short of a Little Mix herring. (1 year, 11 months ago)

katrobrosi @ #70789: Brilliant - I sort of knew what was going on and even most of the categories but couldn't quite unpick it. One plea - please (and everyone else) accept 'pop groups'. I belong to a generation for which a 'band' is a large group of musicians (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #56512: Awful. (1 year, 11 months ago)

HMK74 @ #70720: Really good! (1 year, 11 months ago)

Stephen B @ #70789: Worked perfectly for me! A couple of the rebuses were a bit strained, but overall a fun grid! (1 year, 11 months ago)

Stephen B @ #70790: Solution is non-unique (I think!) - mint and sage could be swapped. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #70785: Alas, did not accept 'county' nor 'element'. Possibly you entered words that were an S longer than necessary. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #136: Unrewarding, frustrating. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #70789: Alas, nine of the symbols show on my screen as plain rectangles, and others think too have been scrambled. How does a triangle symbolise 'land'? (1 year, 11 months ago)

Toferino @ #70755: I somehow managed to solve this wall and I don't really know how. Apart from the birds, none of my connections matched yours. For one, the begin and end in the same letter group are all Scottish club but this wasn't accepted as an answer. Though still a vaild connection. The 'red' group I said were all winners of European trophies and the Moyes group could be connected in many ways. All valid. Nice idea, but there are simply too many ways to form different yet equally valid connections within this wall. (1 year, 11 months ago)

HMK74 @ #70735: Nice grid. Liked the Golden line. Took me a while to spot it, but I got it. Solved the wall and got 2 connections. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Danny @ #25110: Awful last group, not only tenuous, there are other occurrences within the same words that do not fit the category (1 year, 11 months ago)

Gridlington @ #70711: Nice grid! (although I think volcanic and igneous rock are the same thing) (1 year, 11 months ago)

Gridlington @ #70739: Very nice! (1 year, 11 months ago)

Jibberath @ #70663: Really interesting groups, I like when I actually learn from these puzzles! Thought it would be really easy from the ‘silent k’ group, what a difficulty curve! Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to A&E for the whiplash this gave me lol (1 year, 11 months ago)

William @ #70666: Just a comment to the poster below. Please note that the color of the rows changes from time to time. Try playing the same grid twice and you realise that there is no such thing as a "red row" or "green row." So helpful hints to improvement has to specify which row you are talking about.

b @ #70725: Enjoyed that. Fairly simple for someone who knows politics, Thunderbirds, cars and chocolate, but just enough red herrings there to make you think. 10/10 for both of us. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Lee @ #70666: The red row alone precludes this grid from being "of interest to a general audience." The green row is fun, but the rest is just arcane in the least interesting way. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Lee @ #70708: "Swiss" doesn't fit its category without more specificity. The red and blue rows feel pretty weak, and I believe "Map" should be plural. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70719: Great fun, though slightly obvious. @Adriano - Hoboe is what gave me the the whole wall. It made one group obvious, and excluded littlest hoboe from another obvious group, so I could solve it in just over half a minute. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Meh @ #70719: Adriano, oboe ends in an e, and that was the part relevant to the link. The misspelling of hobo was an extra clue to the group and the link. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70722: Good ideas, but 'Egyptian canopic jar heads' is ridiculously over specific. Falcon, human, baboon and jackal are the heads of Egyptian gods. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Michel @ #70709: Meh... (1 year, 11 months ago)

Carole @ #70639: Two of these categories 'connections' are misnamed - Football teams should work but doesn't, and just writing out what the initialisms/keyboard shorthands mean isn't the connection. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Ian @ #70711: One super-obscure group. (1 year, 11 months ago)

ef316 @ #70680: The "Penalty Try" does not fit with the other clues. ***SPOILERS BELOW*** . . . A penalty try is only worth 5 points. The team that has been awarded a penalty try is still required to kick the conversion to get the extra 2 points. Granted, the conversion will be in front of the posts and almost always be converted but i think if the clue was changed to "Converted Try" it would actually fit. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #70681: Usually I dislike this kind of grid as once you've figured out one link, you've basically figured them all out and it feels kinda lazy. This one felt like it had at least an additional layer of deception though, which made it more fun. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70380: Not much fun. Pretty easy to sort out the groups, in under a minute, without knowing exactly what the idea behind each was, even though Hadeon should be spelled Hadean, which put me off for half a minute, and I think Sanitation would be a better fit than Sanitization for the 'pull factor' group.

Mike Wakeman @ #70605: Difficult for me to grade as I had no clue or knowledge about any of the groups! Guessed the Eurovision venues were a group, but had no idea why. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Adriano @ #70602: @Tilly 👏👏👏 (1 year, 11 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70606: Never heard of mitosis, much less the phases of it! Didn't realise carrot juice was a 'thing' either. Decent wall though. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Lee @ #70359: I loved this one. I was going crazy over all the keyboard keys before I noticed the flower theme, which is a solid homophone group. The "4th" connection was good, as well. Then the hockey and keyboard clues because parsable for me. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Lee @ #70506: You really have to add "Willy Wonka and..." as a viable connector, not just "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." Otherwise, this was a really fun puzzle after I stopped running into the wall with the phonetic alphabet clues. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Lee @ #70182: Couldn't complete the wall, and I overthought one category completely, but I was able to make the remaining connections once I saw them and not feel tricked by the connections. That seems like a mark of a great grid. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70579: Nice wall, quite difficult but made sense if it just in time. (1 year, 11 months ago)

ChuckieD @ #11389: I wrote "Empire" and not "Empires". Doh! (1 year, 11 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70582: Nice wall, nothing contentious. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Lee @ #70474: It's "New York Red Bulls," not "New York Red Bull." The answer on the board is manipulated just to be tricky, which is cheap. Still, it's an easy puzzle but does require a level of US geography and sports knowledge that non-Americans are unlikely to have. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70583: Fiendish is correct. Many crucial gaps in my knowledge. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Lee @ #15862: Rough for Americans because that's not what "biscuit" means here, and Anzac is an exclusively regional term. (1 year, 11 months ago)

SuperT @ #70589: Spit?????? (1 year, 11 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #70588: All the links follow a similar format - once you've clocked on and figured one group, you've basically solved them all. Not enough variety to make it as an Only Connect grid, I fear. (1 year, 11 months ago)

SuperT @ #70592: Agreed, eg I put lessen for what had to be fading (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70569: Almost impossible mixture of really obvious general knowledge (oncilla group), obscure but interesting (Karnak group), and utterly uninteresting but hard to spot (Fifi la Fume group). Very good - satisfying but also frustrating. (1 year, 11 months ago)

William @ #70561: I appreciate the effort, but something like this is near impossible to solve under time-constraint. It is always worth keeping in mind that the participants have no idea what they will be looking for and have three minutes to find it. If they have to solve 16 riddles and still have 30 seconds left afterwards to sort them, that gives them 9 seconds per riddle. It is fine to throw a cryptic clue or three in there, but I think 16 is stretching it due to the time-constraint. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Adriano @ #70541: @QuizMaestro Thanks. (1 year, 11 months ago)

FreyaA @ #70220: Hi there quizzers I wrote this grid and I can see there is room for improvement in the way the answers are presented. I will try and change this to give more clarity because I believe the grid works. Firstly as the poster above me noted the use of lowercase and uppercase letters in the grid. In this instance the letters are presented in the correct way, c for example, the speed of light is always in lower case. Below is an explanation of the difference between derived SI units and SI units. Two of my groups. The homophones group is my third, and the fourth is scientific constants that are generally accepted to be unchanging. A derived unit is a unit of measurement derived from the seven SI base units. A derived unit is a unit of measurement in the International System of Units (SI) that is derived from one or more of the seven base units. I'm sorry if the way I have presented my answers has caused confusion I'm going to try and rectify this. (1 year, 11 months ago)

QuizMaestro @ #70541: Really good grid! (1 year, 11 months ago)

Leila @ #70220: In the case of this grid it is correct to use lower case notation for example for h, planks constant or c speed of light. As far as I can see they are all correct in that sense. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Paul @ #70525: They dont need to be seas or snooker balls - in the context of why they form a group in this grid, being colours is enough. There's probably a hundred other things that have those as their colours. If you had another group with a different colour connection then OK, but not here. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Paul @ #70512: The film titles is a dubious group .. there are heaps of movies with country names, so nothing special about this group that would make that a reasonable connection. (Theres also a lot of other and much more direct ways to link the USA group!). (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #34098: Clever, but one group completely contrived (not really homophones), one group completely obscure and needing extremely specialist knowledge to identify it. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70499: Good ideas, and not too hard to solve, but really hard to get the wording you chose for one of the links. I also put 'musicians' for your 'Robbie' group, as I've not heard Rabbie Burns being referred to as 'Robbie' before, and all four in that group are surnames of musicians (Pete B, Robbie W, John C , Rick S).

Paul @ #70505: Sehr gut! (1 year, 11 months ago)

me @ #70500: No - they are not invasions The troubles were a period of terrorism in Northern Ireland The Malvinas is the Argentinian name for the Falkland Islands which Argentina did actually invade The Raj is the name for the British Empires rule over India The Crusades are a complicated series of military actions primarily aimed at recovering territory from Muslim invasion So two could use the word invasion - two most definitely could not Because the Raj is included you can’t even describe them as conflicts (1 year, 11 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70494: Nice idea for a wall. Not too difficult though (1 year, 11 months ago)

Jason S @ #70505: In case anyone reads the comments before playing this, this is a German grid not an English language grid so you need to know your German to solve it! (1 year, 11 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70498: Nice wall. Failed to spot it was anagrams in the final group 👍 (1 year, 11 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #70488: Liked it (1 year, 11 months ago)

Toferino @ #70488: Not overly difficult once you spot the connections, but some nice crossovers and an original set of ideas. Good job, thanks for the wall. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Toferino @ #70161: Nice grid overall. Some categories (Harry Potter, chess pieces, phonetic alphabet, Cluedo characters) have been done to death so try to avoid temptation unless you can use them in a novel way. Your use of Orchid as a distraction earns back some points but we don't want to see any more Cluedo groups. It's been done over and over and over! (1 year, 11 months ago)

Toferino @ #70171: Nice ideas, I wasn't able to solve a single category but spotted all of the connections. This is due to some pretty niche references. Maybe swap out some of the esoteric entries for more generic references to make it more 'gettable'? (1 year, 11 months ago)

Ludwig @ #70485: Really good grid! :) (1 year, 11 months ago)

Toferino @ #70484: This is an example of a fine wall. It took me all of 10 seconds to spot each and every connection but the rest of the time to actually solve it! And a clear and coherent theme. Thanks! (1 year, 11 months ago)

Toferino @ #70481: It's quite difficult to take well established, unoriginal categories (dances, phonetic alphabet) and create an interesting and novel wall. Nice job. (1 year, 11 months ago)

SZUK @ #70467: @Ben Stark the mistake has been fixed (1 year, 11 months ago)

Toferino @ #70248: NIce ideas, I found it a little easy to solve. Be wary of using groups that are very common (the utensil group is used a lot in various forms - previously, this site was plagued with Harry Potter references! Avoid the trap) Some nice crossovers, the Peter group didn't jump out and took me to solve the others before I could spot it. Good effort overall, thanks for the grid. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Avenger @ #67380: Navy bean..? Sort it puzzgrid. Had filtered for uk grids. If its not presidents or state capitals its chuffin beans! 😱😂 (1 year, 11 months ago)

Toferino @ #70485: I solved it in 30 seconds, spotted the connections very quickly. The 'rat' group formed itself through solving the other 3. But some nice categories and novel ideas. Good job. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Toferino @ #70483: Hmm, some nice ideas but a little lacking in execution. The 'palindrome' group aren't actually palindromes - a group of words that, when read backwards, form a new word. Palindromes read the same backward as they do forward (Madam, I'm Adam). The hidden word groups are fine but perhaps a little too deeply concealed? Ultimately, you want your audience to 'solve' your wall. As with cryptic crosswords, you want us to clap and appreciate your cunning. There's no fun in an unsolvable wall for the observer, regardless of the intellectual skill on display. An interesting wall, using familiar concepts. With refinement it could be an excellent wall. Such is the challenge of a puzzle setter. 8/10. (1 year, 11 months ago)

napawo @ #70438: @Malcontent - thanks for the feedback. I did worry that there was more than one solution, I thought I'd thought of everything but I've never heard of Hilary Brougher. I'll change it next chance I get. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70438: Great ideas and really tricky, but Hilary and Jane can be swapped over between their two groups (Jane Austen- author, Hilary Brougher- film director, rather than your designation of Hilary Mantel and Jane Champion), so there's more than one valid solution to the grid, which makes it unsolvable, except by pure luck, or being a mind-reader. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70432: Really clever, and great ideas, but doesn't work as there are multiple solutions to the grid, within the parameters of your group links.Neptune and Poseidon can be swapped between groups, as both are mythical figures in film titles and classical gods of the sea. Jupiter and Mars are both Disney characters, so could be swapped from the film titles group, with Pluto in the Disney character group as there are at least two films with Pluto in the title.

POOKMAN6+ @ #70381: Grand grid. One red herring in there, for me, too! (1 year, 11 months ago)

Laura @ #70381: I enjoyed it. Thank you (1 year, 11 months ago)

Laura @ #70385: Cute grid 😁 (1 year, 11 months ago)

Seán @ #70383: Nice one. (1 year, 11 months ago)

PeteC85 @ #70387: Got the 10 in the end, but a very frustrating first 90 seconds looking for links that weren't there! Really clever grid, thanks. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Seán @ #70386: Clever wordy group entirely confounded me. Also requires some esoteric celebrity knowledge. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Ade @ #70381: Very enjoyable. Thnks! (1 year, 11 months ago)

Pearl @ #70331: Nicely constructed. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Ade @ #70389: Agree about 'Musical siblings'. Caught me out too. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Nasher @ #48141: Loved it.. well constructed and to the point. (1 year, 11 months ago)

bert @ #27641: shame " palindrome " isnt accepted as an answer for the palindrome question (1 year, 11 months ago)

Rob @ #70381: Good grid, missing vowels is a nice nod to another Only Connect feature, no red herrings which is good as deciphering and grouping is already challenging enough 😊 (1 year, 11 months ago)

HennHawk @ #70330: did poorly but I have learnt there is a "Batman airport" so I count that as a win (1 year, 11 months ago)

shagger @ #70385: Not a fan of the F one, but yeah (1 year, 11 months ago)

shagger @ #70379: Ok (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #69944: @Jonty only if spelled as F1 with no space, otherwise literally any word beginning with f would be accepted. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Kitty @ #70389: 'Musical siblings' should really be an acceptable answer for Wilson et al (1 year, 11 months ago)

Chemmy @ #70387: Super duper, really liked this, thanks. Spent far too long looking for ‘mint sweets’! (1 year, 11 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #70079: Truly awful. Can I have three minutes of my life back? Your Captains group did not accept Captains. Tor old coins group has typos and really? Episode names? Hang your head in shame. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #70220: Rubbish. Apart from the homophones it was all one group. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #68781: Was Alpine ever available in the UK? I've literally never heard of it until now, when I had to Google it, and only found US references to it being discontinued in the early nineties. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #70286: Date of something that didn’t happen or hasn’t happened yet? A bit weak. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #70323: Oh, cricket and Prime Ministers again. That will make a nice change. How about cocktails and dances next? Or better yet, get some original ideas. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #69117: @David have you not walked round any UK town centre in the last fifteen years? There's a Starbucks every twenty paces. I agree about Pete Davidson though- I've literally never heard of him until trying this grid. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #70236: Very nice. Thanks (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #69987: Had to take time to work out the mprssl link after solving the grid. Saw the vlt,vns and lznby links straight away, though it took time to find the whole lznby group. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Jason S @ #70383: Clever and fun! (1 year, 11 months ago)

RosyDanger @ #70385: A fun one...thank you! (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70383: Very clever. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70374: Good ideas, nice logical links, no utterly obscure knowledge needed, and it works as a grid, but all groups being based on adding a missing part to each clue is a dull. (1 year, 11 months ago)

RosyDanger @ #59593: Excellent... really enjoyed this grid. Thank you (1 year, 11 months ago)

Daniel Hall @ #70372: Final group doesn't accept fly as connection (1 year, 11 months ago)

mal @ #70318: solid, fun, nice to have at least one uncommon category (1 year, 11 months ago)

shagger @ #70372: meh (1 year, 11 months ago)

William @ #69678: That is a fair point. I should have known that the connection with Greta etc. would eventually no longer be valid as things change over time. (1 year, 11 months ago)

shagger @ #70374: Very poor - all complaints from shagger (1 year, 11 months ago)

shagger @ #69678: decent but I'm not a fan of the connection involving Greta Thunberg etc. (1 year, 11 months ago)

shagger @ #70359: 3 good connections, 4th is a stretch but I wouldn't be surprised if I saw it on Only Connect so can't complain really, nice work bro🇲🇰 (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70339: Only one group was doable. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70352: Correct Little Woman to Little Women, and this grid would be quite good. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Tilly @ #70287: V good, v yricky (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70365: Solved the grid in a minute, but only got two links. No idea how I managed to pick out the second group when I was totally wrong about the link. Very good. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Seán @ #70358: Not bad, but I think the difference between the two name groups is too slight. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #56053: Nice wall, apart from the typo (1 year, 11 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70353: Couldn't sort the 'council' or 'be' groups (1 year, 11 months ago)

tiger king @ #70063: Good grid. My 9yr old claims that the Christmas category also works for birthday. After a quick google search I might agree with him. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70354: Tricky, unless you watch at least two of the programmes (1 year, 11 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70356: Quite niche if you don't watch the specific programmes. Using Christian names is a bit generic & who is the chat show host called Johnathan? Coffee connection is a bit tenuous too. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Seán @ #70353: Nice one. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70333: Aaaargh. Horrible, but all the groups work and I can't find any 'swaps' between groups. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Matthew Thorpe @ #70217: Enjoyed it (1 year, 11 months ago)

Seán @ #70331: Great grid. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Seán @ #70321: Thanks for the correction, Rahman. Should be fixed now. That’s what happens when I rush! (1 year, 11 months ago)

R @ #70307: Typed in "genres" for the music group but that wasn't sufficient: "genres of music"...? (1 year, 11 months ago)

Seán @ #70332: My heart sank when I first saw the grid, but it turned out to be easier than I’d expected. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Liz @ #70332: Cant believe I solved it and knew why too, just missed out on the last one, thought it might've been characters from The Office... (1 year, 11 months ago)

Dan @ #70325: Only thing with telling us what the red herrings are is giving away the connection between groups we haven't worked out yet! (1 year, 11 months ago)

Aetees @ #70318: Lovely grid (1 year, 11 months ago)

J @ #70322: Edinburgh is misspelled. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Seán @ #70321: Sigh. A grid double-posted, so I hastily changed this one. Sorry for any confusion. Is there a way to delete one’s grids? (1 year, 11 months ago)

Geoff @ #70315: Harry Potter. Boo. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70312: Nice and easy to solve, in half a minute, but with one tricky group I'd never heard of. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Toby @ #70290: Only Connect, here I come... (1 year, 11 months ago)

Arcadian @ #70265: Re the comments about the art of thinking - I solved the grid easily enough. Just seemed a bad category to have ingredients of a Mojito - it's not a category with a lot of possibilities. I've made them more than a few times! Just my 2 cents. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Arcadian @ #70300: Nice (1 year, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #70294: I do not agree with Horatio. Myth and beast were sensible, if a bit easy. The other two were impossibly niche, unless you just happen to be a fan of horrible music, and a walking film encyclopedia. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Arcadian @ #70265: There's one huge problem with this grid - a key ingredient in mojito is lime, it's probably more important than sugar. So you can only get this right by figuring out what to leave out. How these bad grids get grid of the day I dunno. (1 year, 11 months ago)

William @ #70270: It is fine with a whacky category, but please limit it to one. Remember that people are working under time-pressure and decoding and matching 16 cells just isn't doable. Some of them should be something simple, say Madagascar, and that would still leave us wondering if it is the movie, the country, an island or what-not. We shouldn't start off by decoding 16 statements and only then trying to match them. Not under time-pressure. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Paul @ #70211: I've never heard of those authors even with their full names. A tad too obscure? Luckily it was just the leftover group. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Seán @ #70185: The phrasing confused me, too, but so think it just means “can be preceded by free”. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Seán @ #70183: Very good. Nice concept. (1 year, 11 months ago)

CJ @ #70185: Hi. What exactly does “words starting free” actually mean? Asking for a friend. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Seán @ #70185: Yes, I think that should be “plimsoll”, but it doesn’t spoil the grid, which is challenging but fair. (1 year, 11 months ago)

peter stubbs @ #70145: you hung one on the word brands, not the defining C word...so--- C companies fails, or even the definingC word alone...come on ...please! Your grids are better than this ! (1 year, 11 months ago)

Fairy @ #69965: Really good idea, but for a connecting wall you just had to connect all the wines, all the news and so on. It would make a great missing vowels round though. (1 year, 11 months ago)

missinglynx @ #70110: Very enjoyable (1 year, 11 months ago)

Peter stubbs @ #70060: Too many other things the colour seas group could be (and have been in other grids here : colours, snooker balls etc) I understand the red herrings for teas and the blue in depressed, but it's way the weakest group in an otherwise enjoyable grid... (1 year, 11 months ago)

Adam @ #70093: A hard but enjoyable one! Never heard of faces though which had me really stuck. Would flowers give me a point for one of the group? (1 year, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #70095: Mac group and organ group are ridiculously obscure. Did anybody get them? Last is synonymous with endure, not durability, and final, not finally. I do not see how it could be synonymous with either of the other two. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70063: Nice wall. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70064: Nice wall. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70068: Good, although not familiar with 'birdhouse', which threw me a little. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Me @ #70060: The colours (Black, Yellow, Red and Green) seem to be rather arbitrarily 'seas'. There's no real indication that they are supposed to be anything else but colours, except for the fact that otherwise black/white would be exchangeable with green tea. But then, there's also a movie called "Green Sea', so even then it would be somewhat arbitrary, except that the other 'seas' are actual bodies of water. So, yes, it works after a fashion, but it's a bit inelegant. (1 year, 11 months ago)

tiger king @ #61118: I really liked the grid. I think there are probably more descriptions that work for connections. I am guessing a lot of people are guessing the connections rather than knowing the terms. (2 years ago)

Mr. Ruth @ #69489: @pj flint is a city in michigan guy (2 years ago)

Wye+Knott @ #69615: Yes a lot out of my sphere so happy with the drinking vessel and the fracas synonym groups (2 years ago)

William @ #69590: Thank you. I know I went very lateral, and probably too far based on votes, on this grid. Nice that someone liked it. (2 years ago)

Gog-ette @ #69560: Agree with Kitty re: expanding the Crib line. Definitely applies to others. (2 years ago)

Jenni+D @ #69553: The might category also works with changing all of the first letters to f to create a new word. (2 years ago)

Lupus @ #69511: Thanks for the feedback. I also struggled finding a good simple explanation for repeating with O instead of I, if you have a good one please say. (2 years ago)

Puddles @ #69575: Nice wall! Just the right number of red herrings to amke for a pleasant solve. (2 years ago)

KitKat @ #69571: This was great, the red herrings worked really well - a really challenging wall! (2 years ago)

... @ #69553: Amalgam? I think not! The car powers are shaky too. Biofuel powers a car, not bio. Petrol is also a fuel. There are important differences between fuel, power and energy (2 years ago)

Liz @ #69540: It didn't accept writers, but at least I got the whole grid (technically) (2 years ago)

Kitty @ #69560: Very straightforward TY. (answer to the 'Crib' line could be broadened - terms apply far beyond the stated link.) (2 years ago)

Stuart Mclean @ #69560: Great grid!! (2 years ago)

Daxw @ #69553: Good grid. Didn't spot the numbers connection, nice. (2 years ago)

Daxw @ #69550: Somehow I got the 'Jem' row connection by typing the word 'space' as a guess. Doesn't seem right! (2 years ago)

Daxw @ #69543: I liked it (2 years ago)

Malcontent @ #69558: Also, Wonder and Tin could swap groups with each other, so, I'm afraid here are at least two equally valid solutions to the wall. (2 years ago)

Malcontent @ #69558: Great red herrings, but the homburg link is extremely tenuous. (2 years ago)

RacheInPeak @ #69558: Very clever. Defeated me, I went down a whole rabbit hole of red herrings, but well done! (2 years ago)

Fred @ #69522: I was rubbish at this grid but a great one all the same - thanks! (2 years ago)

JDP @ #69523: Lost a few points for correct answers. James or Jim also works for Capaldi and 'Honest' is a correct answer for the 'Straight' group. (2 years ago)

Daxw @ #69515: I quite liked this one. Only 1 quibble - the Kray clue is more like 'Ronnie Ray'. Good fun though. (2 years ago)

Daxw @ #69502: Sorry! Does now (2 years ago)

Joni @ #69506: Nice……. (2 years ago)

David @ #69524: Bad grid. All words have nine letters? Words have the same letter repeated 3 times. Not good connections at all. (2 years ago)

Kristin @ #69504: Never heard of any of the Barbarian group (not my area), but loved the rest of the grid. Good red herrings. (2 years ago)

Moondog @ #69509: Architrave is part of the frame, not part of the door itself. Likewise lintel is is part of the surrounding support framework. Hinge, keyhole, handle, knob, frame, panel and moulding could all be considered. Not complaining as I got all the groups, but for future reference this comment might be useful. (2 years ago)

cat fan @ #57736: so true re:previous comment (2 years ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #58349: If it's an Alley cat, why is it spelt Allie in the grid? The slap & zip groups are a bit off too. (2 years ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #58350: The take group is difficult as three of them are 'take a' rather than just 'take' (2 years ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #58355: Not sure Oranjestad, bring a capital of Aruba (not a country) fits with the other three country capitals (2 years ago)

Lindybeige @ #69493: There are many other things that are green. Bowling? Putting? Gage? Tea? Party? (2 years ago)

Lindybeige @ #69477: I think you need to fix the answer to the category that includes Michael. I typed the main key word and it didn't register. (2 years ago)

Lindybeige @ #69285: I guessed 'magazine' and 'betting' for the category that included 'Multiply' and it said that I was correct! I don't think I was. (2 years ago)

Martin East @ #68858: Think you should allow the answer "Curries" (2 years ago)

RacheInPeak @ #69496: Nice grid, but you need to put the actual connection in the explanations. I still don't understand the "Lady" row? Or the "Stonehenge" row. And the "Vernon" row explanation is incomplete. (2 years ago)

RacheInPeak @ #69489: Nice grid. Some nice crossovers. I had never heard of Flint and you don't explain (2 years ago)

Malcontent @ #69491: Nice grid. I scored 10,but didn't really get the link for the Mad Men group. Great ideas, nice and logical. (2 years ago)

Malcontent @ #69480: Loved the Death group. Thought the Koufax group had one too many steps of logic between the clues and the answer.The homophones group is a bit of a stretch, and at least one of them definitely isn't a homophone of the word specified in the explanation. (2 years ago)

Malcontent @ #69378: Nice, if extremely samey, ideas, but the grid doesn't work, as there's at least one pair of answers that can be swapped over between groups. Falsettos and Falsettoland are both composed by Finn and written by Lapin (in fact one of them is actually act two of the other), so they're interchangeable and the grid has at least two, equally valid, solutions. (2 years ago)

Malcontent @ #69489: Lovely and straightforward. Nice ideas. (2 years ago)

V @ #69483: (2 years ago)

daxw @ #69493: Nice one. Perhaps find another green clue to replace one of the 'with envy' clues? (2 years ago)

Michelle @ #68750: Interesting 🥸 (2 years ago)

Lateral @ #69480: Merilee Rush, Juice Newton and The Pretenders may not agree it is an obscure song. Was top 10 and also Grammy nominated. Sandy Koufax is well known in baseball and was Sportsman of the Year. Good point about Yankees Cordova, will add that. (2 years ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #68013: Pressing luck? Never heard of Dark Man or Slender Man? (2 years ago)

Michelle @ #68752: challenging but fun 💕 (2 years ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #68014: Good wall, failed on the policeman link as never watched 3 of the 4 shows (2 years ago)

RacheInPeak @ #69480: Nice grid but another one I felt with the wrong flag. The "The Morning" one is VERY obscure and as for Koufax ... (2 years ago)

Cordova @ #69480: The Baseball question should have accepted the New York Yankees as an answer as they all played for the Yankees. (2 years ago)

Jenni+D @ #69469: Loved it! (2 years ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #68017: Never heard of Bart Bear either, but good wall. (2 years ago)

Midge @ #60689: Quite good, except for the crap wordplay with Pride. (2 years ago)

Malcontent @ #60545: Awful. (2 years ago)

Malcontent @ #69426: Not great. Interesting ideas, but two groups are painfully obscure, and one of them is pretty arbitrary & nebulous. (2 years ago)

Malcontent @ #69462: Very good, but is Hi-De-Hi a single word? (2 years ago)

daxw @ #69461: The answer to third row is 'private' not 'dancer'. Nice grid. (2 years ago)

Malcontent @ #69425: Good ideas, but not a valid grid. It's Drey, not dray,so Drayton needs to be changed,or misspelled for the group to work. The DLR Station is King George V not 'Kings George V' - the typo needs to be corrected for the group to be valid (also it looks deliberately done to include a hidden word, which it isn't). The keywords must be over strict - herb spice and Underground were both rejected as answers. (2 years ago)

Malcontent @ #69429: Lovely,and straightforward, logical connections, nice variety of groups, with a couple of red herrings to make it interesting. (2 years ago)

Shane @ #69429: (2 years ago)

Mister+Tom @ #58725: Few obvious overlaps and the made group needed more actual words in it (2 years ago)

kaikell @ #69435: Hehe Handel is providing his services as a red herring! (2 years ago)

Peter Smith @ #69444: Bit of a shambles...the Up group would also work with Out as suffix so not a unique combo; The spin group - two of those words are preceded by Spinning, not spin (2 years ago)

Stuart @ #23411: Superb grid!! Would love more. (2 years ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #69351: You're a bit stuck on this one if you don't follow wrestling! (2 years ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #69352: Sorted the groups, failed on the last two connections. Good grid tho'. (2 years ago)

Kristin @ #69440: Fun grid. Very hard for me to get a foothold with all the red herrings, but once I did, it clicked. That's as it should be. (2 years ago)

rawbee @ #69429: Really good! Prima category was beyond me but got it by default. Loved including the red herrings in your answer summaries - I may start doing that. (2 years ago)

Moondog @ #69394: All from the group Hal, Marvin, Rosie and T-1000 could be classified as AI's. Hal was not a robot however. Rosie, Marvin and the T-1000 had human form and mobility. Hal had mobility in space and intelligence, but could not be classified as a 'Robot' Hal was a classic disembodied AI with limited control within the environment it was designed to control. The others had humanoid bodies, intelligence and the freedom to interact with all humanity on Planet Earth without being limited to simply being in control of an interplanetary vessel and only interacting with very few humans. With that in mind, I simply cannot accept Hal is even a very limited robot (due to it's 'body' being only a spacecraft) Hal is a pure A.I. and embodies the paranoid supposition tha A.I. will be more intelligent than humans and seek to supplant them in order to gain an advantage. Scary sounding, but if HAL was only in control of one interplanetary spacecraft, then even if it eliminated the humans and took control, it would only be in control of a single interplanetary craft. No threat to humanity, even if it decided to suicide itself as a kinetic harpoon aimed at either the most populous urban centre on Earth, or the most influential conurbation. Hal simply is not a robot, even though it has a 'body' and autonomous control of that body, The other named robots as they had humanoid bodies and A.I. could potentially have influenced human culture, or even with pure force or camoflaging distractions or technology completely taken over human domination of Earth. Hal could never pass as human, the rest of the robots could possibly have managed it. I refer you to Karel Capek, Isaac Asimov, and to a lesser extent Fritz Lang as proponents of the true robot. Many have copied their work since then, but few have ever improved on the original idea. (2 years ago)

RacheInPeak @ #69393: I was thinking of Vandellas not Muffins, but it still got me there! Challenging but fun, thank you :-) (2 years ago)

Moondog @ #69406: Whale Oil Beef Hooked is possibly the most tenuous and lateral thinking answer that ever made complete sense to me when it was explained. It is a crying shame that the show would never dare use it for fear offending people. Completely worthy of the Only Connect 'Elves" Thanks, you put a huge smile on my face :-) (2 years ago)

CW @ #68120: Tough! (2 years ago)

Malcontent @ #69377: Nice ideas, but it needs severe editing to work as a valid grid, as several answers can swap with each other between groups, which makes it unsolvable except by pure luck/being the setter. I'll give a few examples. Falsettos and Falsettoland (which is actually act two of Falsettos), were both composed by Finn, and written by Lapin, so can swap between those two groups. In the Heights won the Tony for best musical, so could swap over from the movie group, with Annie , or Phantom. (2 years ago)

me @ #29074: Good one. lots of red herrings, fell into place when 'real' found. (2 years ago)

Pete Armstrong @ #69338: Nice grid, good idea. I'm afraid you have your atomic numbers wrong, eg. He has atomic number 2. You need to revise this. (2 years ago)

JEREMY @ #55103: Really weak. Same connection (initials) for all the group, so no variety and half of the clues are never known by those initials. (2 years ago)

Peter @ #69323: Fantastisches Beispiel, Jen!! (2 years ago)

M mouse @ #69274: Tartare sauce group. Other group could also be comedians (2 years ago)

Malcontent @ #69213: Some some good ideas, but some really vague, badly defined groups and links, and others that were very obscure and overspecific. Difficult to see how anyone who didn't actually compile the grid, would get more than a couple of points (2 years ago)

Moondog @ #69273: Perfection. (2 years ago)

Moondog @ #69274: Almost perfection. One single group requires far more knowledge than most intelligent people can supply to score a perfect ten on the grid. Not a major criticism, just a small one. Apart from that very, very good. Congratulations on keeping me from a perfect score with a perfectly reasonable, but possibly obscure reference. (2 years ago)

Malcontent @ #69283: Great fun. Solved the grid in about forty five seconds, but know nothing of sport, so the final link escaped me. (2 years ago)

Moondog @ #69283: Too difficult for me. Boxers and Inspectors. I guess you knew Holmes and Hunt would be red herrings. I salute your superior knowledge. (2 years ago)

Ace @ #69213: Quite poor. The genetics one is just too varied, "something to do with", needs a closer connection ; specific episode names from an obscure (well I've never heard of it) TV series far too niche; non-mainstream movies; and the songs - well, I'm pleased to say I wouldn't know any of them if you played them to me.

Jenni+D @ #69214: Love the Comer group! (2 years ago)

Kayla @ #69193: Just read my comment and it makes me come across as a real pedant so I apologise for that. It was actually a really good group and my ex husband was called Bob so probably struck a nerve at first. (2 years ago)

Michel @ #69171: fun - but the groups are not unique. So you could swap Peach and Orange or Plum and still end up with correct 4 groups (2 years ago)

William @ #69196: Arcadian, thank you for the feedback. I actually agree with you on using both before and after-words. I also don't like when there is a hidden word inside a word as opposed to at the beginning or end. I made an exception because it is a name, not just a word. With words your thinking has to be much more lateral to come up with the correct answer, whereas with a name I find myself it is much more straight forward. It is (to me at least) easier to find the four Peter or Roberts, than it is to find the four words that find with -cation, so with names I don't mind upping the challenge a bit. (2 years ago)

Ace @ #69198: Couple of very obscure items, could really do with better explanations. (2 years ago)

Kristin @ #69179: Very nice! (2 years ago)

rawbee @ #38540: Absolutely loved this! Didn't get the chemical elements one, but otherwise straightforward and very clever. (2 years ago)

logan @ #69114: gameging (2 years ago)

me @ #38540: Too obscure - unless you cheat with the time limit somehow. (2 years ago)

Me @ #69171: The four Newcastle players were also the only four names in the grid Theirs spelled incorrectly (2 years ago)

David @ #69174: Varieties of cherries is a bit obscure. (2 years ago)

R4M @ #69178: This is *extremely* similar to a complete grid from a few months back? (2 years ago)

Ragman @ #69178: Equinox has nothing to do with specious nonsense.... (2 years ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #69160: It is time palindromes, especially racecar and kayak were retired- have been used too often, I'm afraid. Otherwise good grid! (2 years ago)

Smoky Oat Cakes @ #69166: Do you mean Alfred the Great? Arthur was pretty great, but not Great. (2 years ago)

Anthony @ #69163: Difficult but very good. Thank you (2 years ago)

Arcadian @ #69170: Good grid, not too sticky. (2 years ago)

Kenzie @ #69168: Nice grid, but you misspelled ALADDIN. (2 years ago)

Joe @ #69171: Super fun and quite easy if you want to do an easy one ☺️ (2 years ago)

Birdwards @ #69065: Great work - I really enjoyed this one! A couple notes: - "Mancala" is typically only spelled with one L. - It could be argued that "country singers" is a valid alternative answer for Swift/Collins/Taylor/McGraw. When I saw those names, I immediately thought of Taylor Swift, Tim McGraw, and James Taylor (who is technically more folk than country, but he's hit the country charts a couple times). I didn't know of a country singer named Collins, but I looked it up and there are a few (Tommy Collins seems like the best-known of these, but perhaps still too obscure for a Puzzgrid). Now that I know what the intended answer is, I agree that Phils are the stronger connection. All four Phils are definitely notable (although darts doesn't make its way into the USA enough for me to know any players). I guess it's just a risk that comes with having surnames as clues.

Omegaman+ @ #69054: Put in 12 days of Christmas but it marked it incorrect so perhaps the answers need loosening up? (2 years ago)

Paul @ #69161: Very nice! (2 years ago)

David @ #69103: Texas hold'em poker? Really? (2 years ago)

David @ #69117: This is supposed to be a UK grid. Starbucks and who the f*** is Pete Davidson? Didn't he used to be Doctor Who? (2 years ago)

Midge @ #68691: Excellent, thank you. (2 years ago)

Malcontent @ #66297: @mal paeony is the original unamericanised spelling. Thanks for pointing out that I made a mistake in wording my link though- in should have said 'contain' not 'end in'. It would have accepted a valid answer anyway, so made no difference to points earned. (2 years ago)

Kristin @ #69157: Good grid! (2 years ago)

Meh @ #69154: @leaf it's infinitely less tenuous than a many other connections I've seen on here, and it doesn't create crossovers that would make the grid not work. I admit it's the weakest of the groups in this grid though. (2 years ago)

Freddgar @ #69161: Nice one, good set of red herrings 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years ago)

leaf @ #69154: adding a particular letter to get another random word isn't really a connection... (2 years ago)

Arcadian @ #69161: Good grid, pretty handy with one very nice set of clues! (2 years ago)

Pete @ #69144: Loved this, not too difficult but varied clues. (2 years ago)

Malcontent @ #69154: Good ideas for each group, but not a great grid. One group was almost too obvious, and three were heavily word based, so a bit samey. Having two groups of anagrams of similarity themed items made it really tricky to do in the time, mainly because solving six anagrams takes so long. (2 years ago)

JBGrumpy @ #69127: Nice grid! (2 years ago)

LD @ #69148: Spelling error - on your chocolate round (and topic is always singular). Otherwise nice grid - Lots of good red herrings (2 years ago)

LD @ #69147: Lovely anagrams, I am not sure that all the parks could be described as famous! Very challenging (2 years ago)

Ian Sewell @ #69134: Enjoyed this grid. (2 years ago)

Kristin @ #69143: Enjoyed it. But, you should accept more connections. For example, in the Carl group, I used male. In the Dover group, I put, " Include a bird" and it was rejected. Still a fun grid. (2 years ago)

Kristin @ #69138: Liked it (2 years ago)

Plod @ #69138: Nice ty (2 years ago)

datroof @ #69129: Really liked this clever grid! Ronnie, I hope it didn't spoil your 8th birthday party. I know it can get lost this close to Xmas. (2 years ago)

M mouse @ #69112: Me too with the dope group and I spell checked the m word! (2 years ago)

RyanCS @ #69066: I've changed the answer for Free to another one (even though I don't understand why people say free doesn't sound like three???). Hopefully the new answer is less controversial (2 years ago)

Jenni+D @ #69138: Should allow allergens (2 years ago)

mal @ #69129: VERY easy but fun, I quite liked your cheesy reindeer group! (2 years ago)

Arcadian @ #69129: Good stuff - by elimination got the 4 groups and figured out the more tricky one at the end!! (2 years ago)

Kinsey @ #69133: Good, except for the tract group. I didn't like that it could be before or after. Ditto the jungle group, but in that case the connection was more obvious. (2 years ago)

Wye+Knott @ #69129: Happy with 7/10 TY (2 years ago)

David @ #69129: Sorry just didn't get this one at all (2 years ago)

Jo @ #69129: Really good, enjoyed it. Loved the hidden reindeers! (2 years ago)

Jo @ #69127: This grid blew Ronnie's grid clean out the water. Just literally left it for dead (2 years ago)

gridlington @ #69128: Hmm... the virgin group is a bit samey, 3 of them being Branson's company. May be "virgin snow", "Virgin river" or even "virgin -ia". (2 years ago)

gridlington @ #69129: The reindeer group was good. Completely threw me off the Thursday group! (The moons group was a bit niche, though). You'll never please all the people so don't worry about Ronny and other detractors. Good grid on the whole! (2 years ago)

gridlington @ #69124: Who are the 32-tear-old celebrities? Taylor Swift? Emma watson? Lost after that. And they'll be 33 soon. (2 years ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #50731: Good grid, links all good 👍 (2 years ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #50738: Tricky for non-US people plus a couple of tenuous links as has already been mentioned. Not great. (2 years ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #50740: Only picked one group but managed the links after the groups were sorted. Excellent grid. (2 years ago)

Ronnie @ #69128: Vegan sausage rolls aren't great, are they? (2 years ago)

Ronnie @ #69129: Its Ronnie, not Ronny. (2 years ago)

theATCguy @ #69129: I hope my next grid makes you happier Ronny. I thought I could inspire some Christmas joy with the reindeer group but it's a shame it didn't work on you :( (2 years ago)

Shazz @ #69130: I had no clue.....then suddenly it all made sense. Thumbs up for this one. (2 years ago)

theATCguy @ #69129: Cheers Sara. Glad you enjoyed (2 years ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #50772: Nice grid. Perhaps computer languages is acceptable? (2 years ago)

BIG AL @ #69127: It was just okay. Ronnie's grid (69130) is better. (2 years ago)

DLT (The DJ, not the sandwich) @ #69130: Top of the Pops! :-) (2 years ago)

Dean @ #69132: It's very disheartening to submit a grid and receive one word disparaging comments. Some constructive feedback would be more appreciated. This site does not feel welcoming or friendly at all. (2 years ago)

The Rat Catcher #3 @ #69130: I once saw a panda in Greenland. It was wearing my favourite t-shirt and eating a fried egg. I also once saw a giraffe eating leeks, but it wasn't in Chile. It was in Argentina. Cat's can't eat mushrooms. Well...they can. But they shouldn't. (2 years ago)

Ronnie @ #69129: Poor quality. I gave it 1 star. The reindeer group is just awful. (2 years ago)

Tez @ #69130: My mate Gav once stole a porcupine from a petting zoo! Honestly. He just picked it up, hid it under his jacket, and walked out the gate. A bit of a laugh at the time, but it turns out they are vicious little blighters, and they absolutely stink. He soon got bored with it, so just left it on his neighbour's door step. True story. (2 years ago)

Laura Keunsberg @ #69130: Yes! This is more like it. Well done. (2 years ago)

Gloveman @ #69130: The chair of the British Bobsleigh and Skeleton Association resigned over "absolutely mad" plans by UK Sport to change how winter sports are run, the BBC has learned. Proposals being considered by the funding agency would involve removing elite programmes from governing bodies and handing them over to a "single, purpose-built organisation". In a concept paper seen by the BBC, it is argued this new organisation would provide a "greater return on investment and reduction in risk for UK Sport". UK Sport said it has a "responsibility to continually seek new ways to best support Britain's athletes", adding it has and will "continue to consult with the relevant sports". But Joanna Poulton recently resigned over what she says are "laughable" plans that would jeopardise the future viability of governing bodies. (2 years ago)

Jo @ #69123: Excellent! The Finnish group very clever (2 years ago)

Swinton @ #69098: Loved this, especially the Wombles reference! (2 years ago)

Ace @ #69115: Some of the homophones are just too far away to be good. I know the Americans might pronounce calf like caff but Harem? Surely not. I'd worked out one of the groups so was really looking for more but these, as well as toe and eye, were beyond me. (2 years ago)

Arby @ #69097: Nice one. Fun coincidence that all cities in the red and white flag category have just one of the five vowels (2 years ago)

MrFish @ #69098: Good grid, the 'Wombling Free' clue doesn't quite work as it's missing a word. (2 years ago)

MrFish @ #69097: Great grid. The colour is a nice addition really, as it narrows it down a bit. I think the whole point of this grid is that there are a few red herrings! (2 years ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #68374: Well thought out. Couldn't see the fourth in three groups until the answers were revealed. (2 years ago)

William @ #69073: Thank you for the feedback. I should have called the category food-preparation. My bad. I'll do better next time. (2 years ago)

Ace @ #69097: The colour is totally irrelevant and should not be required, especially as the one other that could fit also uses the same colours. (2 years ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #68367: Apart from the spelling errors - Ecuador not Equador & Redknapp not Rednap - OK. Although the World Cup teams are also countries & won't always be in the world cup. (2 years ago)

H @ #68302: Why do people say colour category when we all get different colours? I have no idea what the purple category means and the explanation is meaningless. Oh, I mean the group with isti. (2 years ago)

Arcadian @ #69060: Meh, was good until Bruce popped in. Three song title ones and then one with songs from an artist - a bit of a curveball that. (2 years ago)

Paul Stones @ #69055: Row with Lignon etc. needs modified as it didn't accept berry as an answer - has to be Berry. Also spelled wrongly - should be lingon (2 years ago)

Staceytwinkle @ #69006: Very nice (2 years ago)

Dave Mc @ #69050: Richard Head (2 years ago)

Liam @ #69050: Baffles me people are calling this good. Far too subjective and Wales is “something you can sit on?” Not at all gettable. (2 years ago)

Danielle @ #69050: I once sat on Wales. I did not enjoy it one bit. :-( (2 years ago)

Ronnie @ #69050: Whats the problem, Staceytwinkle? Thighs can often be smooth. You can sit on Wales. I don't see what your issue is.... (2 years ago)

Kevin Eleven @ #69050: Generally, a good grid. Couple of points though - the bath wasn't invented by John Bath. (I think it was actually Brian Tub) Also, Mary Berry was born in Canterbury, not Chelmsford. (2 years ago)

Biscuit Boy @ #69050: Excellent. Why can't all grids be as good as this one? (2 years ago)

Staceytwinkle @ #69050: What am I missing… things that are smooth? Things you can sit on!? (2 years ago)

Will.I.Am @ #69050: Good grid. The penguin group had me stumped though. (2 years ago)

RacheInPeak @ #69043: Fun grid, which I enjoyed solving, but Mist is does not belong in that group. It is explicitly not what the link is supposed to be. Perhaps the link could be better described. (2 years ago)

Shane @ #69028: Fun (2 years ago)

Aetees @ #69028: Anagrams, my old nemesis. Fun grid. (2 years ago)

DH @ #69010: Cool grid, too tough for me, cheers (2 years ago)

Malcontent @ #69016: Really good. If I were going to nitpick, I'd say cotton and fur could actually swap places/groups, as could denim and velvet, but it didn't affect me, because the cotton group was the first I solved. (2 years ago)

Malcontent @ #69018: Nice grid, interesting groups. Choice doesn't really make a well known phrase with the link word. It could easily be swapped with minute (or even place), into their groups, it would fit just as well there, and either one would work just as well as it does in its place, which means the grid doesn't really work. It was good fun though. (2 years ago)

Malcontent @ #69040: Great. Nice and simple to solve the grid, but one really obscure link. Very interesting. (2 years ago)

Sredni @ #69040: Really good. One VERY obscure line! Interesting, though. Thanks. (2 years ago)

Sredni @ #69036: Didn’t solve a single line…but then got all of the connections. That probably makes it the perfect grid! Great stuff! (2 years ago)

Tyler @ #68912: I like this one! The "country for old men" was a giveaway for that group, which lets you get started quickly, but then the rest of it isn't overly easy. nicely done (2 years ago)

Tyler @ #68944: am i the only one who thought of the fairly odd parents song? actually "giant snake, birthday cake, large fries, chocolate shake" might make a good group for a wall (2 years ago)

Enzed @ #68995: I had to give five stars to a grid containing the late great Leonard Cohen (2 years ago)

Chris @ #60644: Apologies in advance for pedantry, but... Tower Bridge is not a suspension bridge, it's a lifting bascule! (2 years ago)

missinglynx @ #69028: Agree with Arcadian though I couldn't unscramble helicopter. (2 years ago)

Arcadian @ #69028: Nice, straightforward and a quick solve! (2 years ago)

Observation @ #69001: Pity some people cannot distinguish between a homophone and puns. "Just For Fun for goodness sake" is the clue. I enjoy these very much, thank you (2 years ago)

Yvonne @ #68531: Enjoyed the challenge (2 years ago)

Jo @ #69016: Thank you James (2 years ago)

Malcontent @ #69001: Nice ideas. Shame only one of the clues was even approximately a homophone. (2 years ago)

Simon Very @ #69013: I think Algeria is North Africa rather than the Middle East. (2 years ago)

Joe Malone @ #68522: Fiendish (2 years ago)

Nighteyes @ #69018: Choice does not really. It does make a common phrase like the rest. (2 years ago)

RBR45 @ #69013: Hmm not sure about the validity of the group with Algeria (2 years ago)

RBR45 @ #69018: good grid (2 years ago)

Staceytwinkle @ #68978: Great grid (2 years ago)

Staceytwinkle @ #68980: Thank you. Others may find it too easy ( and are bizarrely rude enough) to tell you but not everyone sees the connections so easily. It’s nice to have grids for all not just people with obscure knowledge. Thank you I enjoyed it. (2 years ago)

Shane @ #69001: (2 years ago)

Joni @ #68923: Pokémon again!!?!! (2 years ago)

Sean @ #68918: Very good. Lots to think about (2 years ago)

Gog-ette @ #68924: The longest word in your synonym group doesn't work as it's not pronounced the same as the synonym you've mentioned. (2 years ago)

Gog-ette @ #68929: TWW connection made me smile. Thank you! (2 years ago)

Gridlington @ #68927: I don't think E-Street really fits with the group because you have to add the word "band" after it. "Attractions", "Muffins", "Destroyers", "Crickets", "Mothers of invention", "supremes", "waves", "ants" would all work.... (2 years ago)

Trillium @ #68918: Nice one! (2 years ago)

Leigh @ #68928: Brilliant grid, though it omitted to mention one key fact that connects all four groups (2 years ago)

Nota @ #68925: Will do Freddgar (2 years ago)

Jenni+D @ #68852: Excellent (2 years ago)

Sir Huffington Cracker-Bong @ #68579: I do have to say, this was a bit too easy. (2 years ago)

Sir Huffington Cracker-Bong @ #68266: Dear sir, Most excellent puzzle replete with devilish red herrings but clearly idealized results that fills one with joy, glee and gaiety, kinds of which are only found when thoroughly stimulated in all the lobes of one's cranium by exquisite problem-solving, as eloquently elucidated by your enigmatic yet energizing and entreating ensemble of esoteric mumbo jumbo. In brief, splendidly done! Yours &c, Sir Huffington, KG (2 years ago)

Nick @ #68868: @Nighteyes Ha ha. Sorry. Thanks. I was just trying to demonstrate to myself that a grid can be simple and not contain the NATO phonetic alphabet or the Beatles or body parts and family members concealed in words. (2 years ago)

Nighteyes @ #68868: Excellent grid though. (2 years ago)

Nighteyes @ #68868: I groaned when the penny dropped. (2 years ago)

Staceytwinkle @ #68832: Finally a grid for me! Loved it (2 years ago)

Staceytwinkle @ #68846: I liked it. I’m new to this so have never seen the David line before. Some of these are so obscure as to simply not be fun. This was enjoyable. Thank you (2 years ago)

HalJam @ #68852: Very good. (2 years ago)

Freddgar @ #68851: Hmmmm...didn't have a clue (2 years ago)

Ian @ #68846: Nice (2 years ago)

William @ #68848: Feel free to delete this. I accidentally posted twice. (It took a while and I thought I'd pushed the option for it not to be public). My apologies. (2 years ago)

Horatio @ #68843: Quick boast - my son was in the **** Duel, an extra in a five person scene with Matt Damon and Jodie Comer. Not just because of his 15 second cameo, this is the best film nobody has seen. Woefully under-promoted, it is a thrilling and clever story told very well. (2 years ago)

Horatio @ #68846: Ok apart from the David line, which has been done so, so, so many times (like Cluedo, NATO alphabet, etc etc) it has the effect of ruining the puzzle. (2 years ago)

rishi :) @ #68804: helo (2 years ago)

George Gealy @ #68804: I enjoyed this and got a little confused with 'Bart' which could fit into two categories. (2 years ago)

MereNovice @ #68785: Good fun, thanks. (2 years ago)

Mal @ #68780: Amazing grid as always!! (2 years ago)

Staceytwinkle @ #68771: Edward VIII was known as David and Albert as George VI. Could have said names monarchs were known as? Family names? I put in biblical names and it wouldn’t let me have it (2 years ago)

CB @ #68780: refreshing twist - great fun (2 years ago)

Malcontent @ #68722: Nice grid. Thanks (2 years ago)

Malcontent @ #68719: Groups don't all work. The London group could also just be 'can all be followed by ER to make a new word'. I don't understand the Conservative group clues or explanation of the link. Champagne wasn't invented in England. (2 years ago)

Shane @ #68756: That was fun, but now I want to sit on the couch eating chocolate..... (2 years ago)

Nighteyes @ #68769: Nice mix, but a little too easy. (2 years ago)

Nighteyes @ #68771: Not generally classed as prophets. Check it up. Albert was prince consort, not a monarch. David? (2 years ago)

H @ #68750: Sunbites is fair. I hadn't heard of it but I just asked in the right place... (2 years ago)

Wye+Knott @ #68757: I would have preferred the blots (2 years ago)

Hello @ #68550: The ply group is the worst group. It isn't even ca group (2 years ago)

Biglads @ #66608: The etymology question is pretty vague, the hotel answer should be interchangeable with casino (Las Vegas not Los Vegas btw) (2 years ago)

Freddgar @ #68756: Nice and easy grid 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years ago)

Jenni+D @ #68752: Really enjoyed. 10/10, but the dog group took some thinking for me! (2 years ago)

David @ #68749: No (2 years ago)

Staceytwinkle @ #68431: Good grid (2 years ago)

David @ #68750: Sun bites, no I'm not having that. Also injuries one needs more options for answer. (2 years ago)

David @ #68753: Wordle starters, poor connection. And what is RGS? (2 years ago)

Somau5 @ #68711: Categories shouldn't have been so specific - it wasn't obvious that they were football teams specifically in London, and countries that had specifically won the world cup. I typed in football teams and European countries - that should have been enough. (2 years ago)

MereNovice @ #68717: Thanks both. I appreciate the feedback. (2 years ago)

Hmm @ #68733: Toilet roll… (2 years ago)

Mal @ #68733: Great grid, fun and good red herrings! Just one thing - I entered "up" as the connection for the blue group (I'd wrongly made the connection for let up and give up but not the others) and I got the point for it - I don't know if you can make the range of acceptable answers for that more narrow? But thought I'd give you the heads up. Thanks for sharing this grid! (2 years ago)

Sean @ #68719: Far too vague (2 years ago)

Glumpy @ #68696: Was fun! Thanks. JHo - definitely ‘waitING list’. ‘Wait-list’ sounds like some peculiar Americanism (like bell pepper- which did work in this context tbf). (2 years ago)

MereNovice @ #68704: Very nice Queen red herring. (2 years ago)

Heather @ #52507: Words that read the same forwards and backwards are palindromes - which is what I put but it marked me wrong. More research needed here! (2 years ago)

rawbee @ #68668: Sorry to hear that but appreciate the feedback. I know it is a very difficult puzzle - but the biggest barrier is knowing the perfect numbers. Once that is solved, there are no decoys to the 5, 50, and 500 matches and they are all at least somewhat common pop cultural references. If you don't know perfect numbers, you do have to deal with several red herrings and looking for the proper matches in three minutes is indeed challenging. (2 years ago)

William @ #68668: I always ask myself before I post; would I be able to get it if I saw this grid with fresh eyes and was given 150 seconds? Would I at the very least acknowledge that I should have gotten it once I see the answer? I appreciate the contribution, but on a tight time-limit this grid is near impossible to solve.

Malcontent @ #68474: @gridlington - bug, as well as being an all encompassing synonym for insects (and arachnids), is also a term referring to a specific group of insects (hemiptera, the 'true bugs'), as well as being part of the common names of many species. The repetition of Storm would only have been a problem if the two Storms had belonged to different groups, which would invalidate the grid. I thought this was a pretty good grid overall (2 years, 1 month ago)

William. @ #68301: Allow me to explain myself and if I did something wrong, I'll happily stand corrected. I am just not convinced, at least not yet, that I did something wrong. There are six correct answers for the A group. Five correct answers for the B group. Four correct answers for the C group. Five correct answers for the D group. Once the four correct answers for the C group, the only possible solution, is removed, there are only four correct answers left for the D group. Once the four remaining correct answers for the D group, the only remaining possible solution, is removed, there are only four correct answers left for the B group. Once the four remaining correct answers for the B group, the only remaining possible solution, is removed, there are only four answers left for the A group and they happen to be the correct ones. If I have done something wrong, I do want to know about it, but from your reply I simply don't understand what i have done wrong. If I understand it correctly the key is that there is only one correct solution where all sixteen answers are solved into four categories and, as long as that is so, you can have as many answers you like that fit into one category. I'd be happy to listen and learn. (2 years, 1 month ago)

William @ #68301: "2 groups with the same answer?!" There are no two groups with the same answer. "As well as others that could fit in those groups." Those are red herrings. While multiple answers fit into one group, there is only one combination of answers that allow you to have four answers that fit each distinct description for each group. So you can have six possible answers in Group A, but only one of those six also fit in Group B and only one of them fits in Group C. You have to identify those that belong in other groups before you can complete Group A. (2 years, 1 month ago)

John Smith @ #68297: You could swap common and summer and still have a valid grid, so this doesn't work. Also, having 3 of the alcoholic drinks as types of wine but the most obscure one as a beer, so 'wine' was not a valid connection, was a bit frustrating. (2 years, 1 month ago)

William @ #68302: Cool grid. 4/5. There need to be a description for the link in the green category, because I still have no idea what the connection was. I am sure it is fine, but the explanation needs to be elaborated on just a little bit. (2 years, 1 month ago)

milocat3000 @ #67130: We got all the groups and (we think) correctly identified the connections, but were told we were wrong about the social media apps. However, you are wrong about how they are spelled. Grind--add "r"; Tumble--add "r"; Twit--add "ter"; Tind--add "r," I believe. So they all end in an "r" sound, but they do not all end in -er.

Malcontent @ #67749: Nice and straightforward, though I only scored seven, as the Grey group is totally outside my experience/knowledge. I've heard of the link and know what it is. (2 years, 1 month ago)

Joe @ #67699: Not unique with the answers given. (2 years, 1 month ago)

JT @ #67770: Took me two tries (6 minutes) but got 7. Totally stumped me on the first try. Great grid. (2 years, 1 month ago)

JT @ #67771: At first glance I was overwhelmed. But then I started taking some educated guesses and everything fell into place. Great grid. (2 years, 1 month ago)

Freddgar @ #67757: Excellent red herrings, luckily I'm a fan of both the groups. You 10/6 Thanks for posting (2 years, 1 month ago)

Gog-ette @ #67762: Enjoyed this one. I was lucky with one of the groups as I missed your connection. I thought they were just shortened. Thankfully I didn't use the word shortened in my description and got the confetti. (2 years, 1 month ago)

Rosa @ #67770: This was excellent :) (2 years, 1 month ago)

Tom @ #67762: Pretty poor. Mixture of specific species and generic groups in the fish group, and I don't think even Jim Keltner has heard of Jim Keltner. (2 years, 1 month ago)

Malcontent @ #67202: Really nice. Thank you. Nothing too obscure to work out, nice logic to all the links, and fun red herrings. @EddieCrane if it HAD been a famous Rogers group, I'd have been lucky to get it, and it would have been pure guesswork, as I've only ever heard of one of them as a famous Roger, and it's not the one you mentioned - literally never heard of the others in any context.

OG @ #98: In the musical notes, it should be "sol" instead of "so" and "re" instead of "ray." Might could have worked if you related it to the Sound of Music song but then "Doe" would have to go with it since the line is "Doe, a deer, a female deer." (2 years, 1 month ago)

Nighteyes @ #67577: Hi Eddie. Even if there were no changed letters I would still not have got any of these, because generally I don't know or care much who the director is. I spotted a few titles, and even that letters were changed, but neither knew nor cared who the directors were. So I spent a lot of time looking for letters changed in the same position, or the same letter changed, etc. If you want to write walls for film anoraks, go ahead, but be prepared for low scores from everybody else. It is nice that there are no hard and fast rules, and novel grids can be a delight, but a good general rule is that a good grid is one which can be solved by someone with a reasonable general knowledge, intelligence, and the ability to make quirky connections. When I commit to spend 3 or more minutes of my time to solving a puzzle, I expect to have some chance of doing so. If I fail to connect a group, then when I see what the connection was, my reaction should be "arrgh I should have spotted that!". But if the connection is hopelessly niche, the reaction is simply annoyance. If you are hopelessly committed to film topics, maybe you could restrict that to one of the groups instead of all of them. Please consider this to be constructive advice rather than simple whinging. You asked for an explanation, and this is my best attempt to respond. (2 years, 1 month ago)

EddieCrane @ #67577: Just going to make a note on this in case anyone sees/cares. I’ve made a lot of grids recently and I think they’re pretty fun. Not world changing or anything but a bit of fun for people to hopefully enjoy doing a puzzle for 5 minutes in their day. On all of them, people have given them low scores and not bothered making any comment as to why, let alone leaving any comments about enjoying it or saying thanks or engaging in any way, other than to click presumably one star or two star. I would love to know what it is about my grids people hate so much, but I would more appreciate someone (anyone) taking the time to leave any sort of interaction other than a low rating. It’s dispiriting enough that after 5 or 6 days of this I’m just going to stop making them. Thanks very much. (2 years, 1 month ago)

Fi @ #67522: Good quiz - thank you. But it would be good if you could include “relatives” in the answer, not just family. It marked me as wrong, but obviously I was correct - just used a different word. Otherwise good grid. (2 years, 1 month ago)

EddieCrane @ #67468: Some nice groups, the vegetable one particularly, but a couple of issues. WAN isn’t a homophone for One, it’s pronounced with the ‘A’ sound when read aloud. Also ‘bested’ means ‘beat’ not ‘won’ so that group doesn’t quite work for me. (2 years, 1 month ago)

EddieCrane @ #67530: I agree with Malcontent’s comments, I also didn’t love Bored as a clue as unlike the others it isn’t a raw material. Really like the Courage group though and the misleads. (2 years, 1 month ago)

Malcontent @ #67530: Quite good. The etymology clue was rather mean - I saw it but it seemed to arbitrary so looked for something else. The homophone group was good, but I've never heard timbre pronounced as timber. (2 years, 1 month ago)

Wolf @ #67314: A chimera is not commonly something that is "imagined or dreamt", rather than a combination of multiple different things fused together (like the mythical creature of origin). Also, please allow "not real" as an acceptable answer for this category. (2 years, 1 month ago)

Yeetmon @ #67129: @Darren Martin do you offer coaching sessions? (2 years, 2 months ago)

Sean @ #67354: Nice (2 years, 2 months ago)

C @ #66062: Relatively easy but too messy for me. I'd say the links are pretty tenuous. Ordinarily the bricks are the concrete answers themselves rather than hints. E.g. "Austen lived here". Hmm. (2 years, 2 months ago)

C @ #66116: No, let's be pedantic. (2 years, 2 months ago)

C @ #66203: Good grid, relatively easy but red herrings make it fun. I would say though that Mainwaring being a fictional captain and a character in Dad's Army is a bit messy. Normally only the clue fits in two groups not the subject itself (if that makes sense). (2 years, 2 months ago)

C @ #66314: Inclusion of the word 'stressed' was the key for me to unlock what was going on. If not for that word I may have been stuck. I think stressed -> desserts is the longest such word in the English language. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Helen @ #40480: All 4 are names of rivers in Scotland. 2 are entirely England. One is england/wales (2 years, 2 months ago)

C @ #66473: @b strictly correct and just simply correct. I don't think the author should be blamed just because you didn't know that those 4 people were vice presidents. There are supposed to be red herrings. The inclusion of 'Harris' makes it obvious anyway. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Omegaman+ @ #67383: Ridiculous not to include trees as well as wood as what else does wood come from? (2 years, 2 months ago)

Omegaman+ @ #67340: Also metal elements would be ok if you had put in the singular and I was defeated by only the US spelling of colours being included (2 years, 2 months ago)

New Yorker @ #66643: (1) In the U.S. the word is spelled “jewelry.” (2) Earring is one word. (3) The word for the piece of jewelry is spelled “Brooch.” “Broach” is an altogether different word. (4) Using “Ring” twice is confusing. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Miss+Slink @ #67349: Turquoise is both spelled differently, *and* is also a stone, so could be swapped with aquamarine, meaning there's more than one solution to the grid. Other than that, pretty easy. (2 years, 2 months ago)

gaffer gibson @ #67383: should except trees as well as wood (2 years, 2 months ago)

I JUST LIVE ALIENS!! (2 years, 2 months ago)

Bibbity+Bill @ #67000: Daxw... REALLY!!? Do you not get the concept of 'Red Herrings'?? If you think that there should be sixteen words that just need sorting out into their obvious categories then maybe you should find a simpler puzzle to do... a jigsaw springs to mind... some of them have sixteen pieces... maybe try one of them (unless you think some of the pictures on the pieces look quite similar to each other!!).

Sean @ #67213: *Arctic (2 years, 2 months ago)

RacheInPeak @ #67213: Artic is an articulated truck. I think it is misspelled. (2 years, 2 months ago)

RacheInPeak @ #67209: If you are claiming this as a UK round, and using UK version for the Strand row, you can't use "Yawls" like that :-) (2 years, 2 months ago)

kraken183 @ #67210: Connection was "." for north, pslam, saint, Chicago ??? I'd say this is somewhere between chaotic good and lawful evil. 🦹‍♀️ (2 years, 2 months ago)

Paul @ #67209: minus 10 for 'yalls'. Not even close to a word. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Sibz @ #67198: Clever :) (2 years, 2 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #67193: Confetti in 25 seconds, but really enjoyed it thank you! (2 years, 2 months ago)

Kitty @ #67174: Really like this! Took me nearly all the time but still got confetti - perfect! If I was being really pedantic, I'd say that Sonic was a Sega gam, not Nintendo but I'm not, so I won't ;-) (2 years, 2 months ago)

Trillium @ #67155: Funfetti! (2 years, 2 months ago)

James+Finster @ #67181: Once again my Michael Stipe knowledge pays off in spades! (2 years, 2 months ago)

Awsome @ #48553: This is boring and bad🤨 (2 years, 2 months ago)

EddieCrane @ #59275: Nice because you are stumped for a long time then once you see the link it all comes together. Very pleasing. (2 years, 2 months ago)

b @ #67183: What's wrong with "Australian animals" and "Synonym" on two of your answers? I've given myself the points I deserve. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Jimmy falon @ #48553: It was not that great (2 years, 2 months ago)

M @ #67155: The Mexican row can also be "__ Radio" (2 years, 2 months ago)

Ploopy @ #67178: Seems a bit tough that wasn't awarded full score as linked to right country but didn't give the adjective form? (2 years, 2 months ago)

Bathfood @ #67153: Nice. Really really nice. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Bathfood @ #67162: Nice grid. At first glance, nothing presented itself. But "gradually and then suddenly", it all fell into place. I couldn't find the "coder" connection for the life of me. Thanks. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Bathfood @ #67169: Never heard of elver. Every day is a school day. Thanks. (2 years, 2 months ago)

H @ #67182: Excellent. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Peter Smith @ #67183: You need to allow 'synonym' for group two; and I would suggest mammal for group one (2 years, 2 months ago)

Hamburger @ #67186: @Peter Smith I make my Porcupines with beef, I guess it's regional. Anyway, probably best I change it, cheers. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Peter Smith @ #67186: Porcupine only works if the French spelling is allowed and even then, pork is the meat, not the animal (2 years, 2 months ago)

film buff @ #66938: LOL! (2 years, 2 months ago)

Omegaman+ @ #67147: The football themed group is too difficult for anyone to guess as first and foremost these are nationalities (2 years, 2 months ago)

Rosa @ #67174: This was cool :) (2 years, 2 months ago)

rider @ #67160: Fein fein (2 years, 2 months ago)

mal @ #67129: Very easy but nothing 'wrong' with it (2 years, 2 months ago)

Michel @ #67167: Eggs is not X, also the trig function is sine not sign 😞 (2 years, 2 months ago)

EddieCrane @ #67169: Some nice red herrings. Enjoyed it. Think you should replace Elver as it doesn’t fit the category but otherwise great. (2 years, 2 months ago)

BoardPanda @ #67167: Eggs and X do not sound the same ….. (2 years, 2 months ago)

EGO @ #67159: Need better tags for the first group (2 years, 2 months ago)

EGO @ #67129: two "Word ____" clues in the same wall is a bit rare. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Lillie @ #60251: They should add 'Autumn' to the list (2 years, 2 months ago)

Laura Smith @ #67125: These guys are the best grid makes! 😊 (2 years, 2 months ago)

Lillie @ #67112: I put films and it was correct but Amy Whitehouse?? Who's that supposed to be? (2 years, 2 months ago)

EGO @ #67140: So very, very british. (2 years, 2 months ago)

leila @ #47791: loved this so much yummm (2 years, 2 months ago)

leila @ #67105: dumb (2 years, 2 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #67145: Loved this. Good to see some uncommon groups. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #67145: Loved this. (2 years, 2 months ago)

b @ #66475: Neither detective nor chief are really official ranks, but we know what you mean. East though. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Bathfood @ #67125: Satisfyingly entertaining. Lovely, thank you. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Bathfood @ #67144: Ditto. It's a very nice grid, but "capitals" is a valid connection. These four would be a great fit for Round 1 though. Lovely. (2 years, 2 months ago)

George @ #67136: Well, if you have to do a bit of googling to confirm groups then maybe a bit dodgy but definitely obscure (2 years, 2 months ago)

George @ #67138: 75% ok (2 years, 2 months ago)

George @ #67145: Not my most favourite (2 years, 2 months ago)

Michel @ #67144: I think in a connecting wall the fact the cities are the highest is not relevant / should not lead to just capital city being a wrong answer. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Giggle @ #48553: It’s very hard so please make it easier (2 years, 2 months ago)

Hamburger @ #67129: Look out everybody, Darren Martin is in town. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Lily @ #67125: Nicely constructed (2 years, 2 months ago)

jgalef @ #67126: @ Michael Cohen -- Jesse :-) (2 years, 2 months ago)

EddieCrane @ #40732: Nice and tricky. “Chaff” has one f too many though (2 years, 2 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #67136: Same as cashback below - robbed of a 10 because I typed bear rather than bears - quick fix for future users (2 years, 2 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #67137: Swapping the order on word links is unusual for this site - the word most often is before or after the clue consistently in a group which threw me off a bit (2 years, 2 months ago)

Puzzie @ #67129: @Darren Martin 👏 (2 years, 2 months ago)

Clive Morgan-Whittlesnake @ #67129: Can we all give Darren Martin a virtual round of applause. What a legend he is and us mortals can only dream to reach such levels of intelligence, humility and grace. Again what a legend he truly is.. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Bungle @ #67136: The grid should accept 'synonym' as a correct answer for the words meaning 'cold'. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Lou @ #67107: Only Take That qualify as a "boy band". Prince was a solo artist, Queen are a rock band, and Red? do you mean Simply Red or the US Christian rock band? Neither one fits "boy band". (2 years, 2 months ago)

Tilly @ #66938: Why the Al Jolson emoji? 😆 (2 years, 2 months ago)

Sam @ #67076: The computer language is called Perl rather than Pearl, other than that great grid. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Cashback @ #67136: Nice grid. Had to do a bit of googling after as I thought some of the answers were a bit dodgy. Not so. The only gripe I have is that it doesn't accept bear (singular) as a connection. (2 years, 2 months ago)

meepmo @ #67130: this was great! clues all really satisfying even when i didnt get the points. hash one was especially clever :) (2 years, 2 months ago)

Michael @ #67126: Two bit dodgy clues. Drake is good as a red herring against explorers but there is a real animal called a drake. Also coral is not really a homophone for choral (2 years, 2 months ago)

film buff @ #66938: ( : O (2 years, 2 months ago)

Michael Cohen @ #67126: Nice one! Are you Jesse or Julia Galef? (2 years, 2 months ago)

Tilly @ #66938: Confetti, yes I have just got my WiFi privilege back from the prison governor. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Darren Martin @ #67129: took me about 10 seconds to complete.. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Darren Martin @ #67130: started out ok but a couple of them are just a bit too vague/arguable. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Hamburger @ #67129: @Puzzgrid Admin - What's your point? (2 years, 2 months ago)

Simple @ #67123: You have been quiet for a while (2 years, 2 months ago)

Simple @ #67125: Nice mix TY (2 years, 2 months ago)

Kat @ #67126: Fun! (2 years, 2 months ago)

alejandro @ #67101: I think "clergy" could be accepted (2 years, 2 months ago)

Brian @ #67126: Nice, I almost didn't figure out the theme for what was my and I imagine will be most people's "remainder" group but just managed to get it all 😅 (2 years, 2 months ago)

alejandro @ #67126: Nice! I think every group has one member that could fit into a different group, which makes a good challenge :) (2 years, 2 months ago)

JJ @ #67124: It's me, "Scareboy" 'Fetti Kreuger, and when I PuzzGrid I like to eat myself a big bowl of confetti'cini alfredo. 10/10, would puzz again. Crossover on Fonda had me, but I just clicked around a lot and eventually got there. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Katrina @ #67109: Can I suggest "dwellings" please? (2 years, 2 months ago)

a @ #67124: Great quiz! As for feedback, I think the o' clue could be clearer. I think "o." would be an improvement if you're thinking of the author. (2 years, 2 months ago)

fi @ #67109: amazed i got confetti on a grid that included football. the bicycle group was blind luck though. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Ben @ #66973: Five stars for being kind and accepting "game locations", because I knew that's what it was but there's no way I would have known the game 😅 (2 years, 2 months ago)

Ben @ #66971: This is an "every day's a school day" kind of grid... Thank you 😅 (2 years, 2 months ago)

mal @ #67091: Not bad. But only accepting ''ages of horses'' as an answer is terrible (2 years, 2 months ago)

Cashback @ #52822: Beavers build dams but they live in lodges (2 years, 2 months ago)

Sean @ #67119: Thanks. Glad you liked it (2 years, 2 months ago)

tbone @ #67108: BULLSHIRT (2 years, 2 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #67106: Bit too easy, confetti in 12 seconds (2 years, 2 months ago)

Angela @ #67080: 4 excellent grids. Thanks (2 years, 2 months ago)

Dan @ #67112: It's Amy Winehouse. Also "films" should be a correct answer (2 years, 2 months ago)

Helen @ #67112: Amy whitehouse? Peaky blinders was bbc. Groupings a bit vague. (2 years, 2 months ago)

b @ #67107: Poor : Prince was solo, not a boy band, and nobody ever called Queen a boy band : they may all have been male, but too old to be boys. Then dukes and duchesses are always royal. Needs some work, doesn't it. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Emma @ #55363: Several of the clips were greyed out and wouldn't play (2 years, 2 months ago)

Stephen Toyshop @ #67106: Were not we’re! (2 years, 2 months ago)

Stephen Toyshop @ #67106: We’re there any crossovers or red herrings? I thought it was too straightforward. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Peter Smith @ #67107: In the last group only one - King - is exclusively Royal; the others are ranks of nobility (2 years, 2 months ago)

Julie @ #65625: too easy (2 years, 2 months ago)

J.Ho @ #67107: you can be a duke/duchess with our being royal. A better definition would be nobility. (2 years, 2 months ago)

EddieCrane @ #67104: Very hard grid, two of the categories I’ve just never heard of any of the members. Jsyk, “Aama” isn’t missing the m, I think it should be “Aaa” (2 years, 2 months ago)

Toferino @ #67101: Nice. I like the 'faux' group - at first thought, not another chesspiece group!! :) (2 years, 2 months ago)

Toferino @ #67102: Hmm, bell peppers can also be yellow, green and red. Fire can be many colours including red, purlple and even green, depending on the material being burned. Not bad though. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Sean @ #67109: Nice grid (2 years, 2 months ago)

Juls @ #67100: Shouldn't 'Same flag' be enough for a correct answer?! (2 years, 2 months ago)

Kitty @ #67100: The correct term is foreWORD. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Dan @ #67100: It's "foreword". I thought you meant "forward" (2 years, 2 months ago)

Gellycat @ #65421: Please add professions as an answer to the jobs (2 years, 2 months ago)

EddieCrane @ #47803: Brilliant! Slaughterhouse 101 and 120 Children and It cracked those groups for me, very satisfying! (2 years, 2 months ago)

Sean @ #67097: Wow. Absolutely no idea what is going on here (2 years, 2 months ago)

Mister+Tom @ #67079: Nah, good wall. The Knight group was unusual, but that's not really a sin (2 years, 2 months ago)

Daggerdooby @ #67081: Easy if you live Coogan. Great board (2 years, 2 months ago)

Mister+Tom @ #67091: As a proud citizen of North Haverbrook, I'm frankly insulted.... :-) It was easy. there are worse crimes. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #67080: 45 seconds for confetti. Enjoyed. (2 years, 2 months ago)

EddieCrane @ #67079: If you are someone who has given this a low star rating: could you please explain why? What is it about the categories that doesn’t work? What is it about the solution that is unsatisfying? (2 years, 2 months ago)

Rachel @ #67040: Just fab! Yay (2 years, 2 months ago)

Sean @ #67091: Nice grid. A little too easy, though (2 years, 2 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #67074: Loved it! Lots of fab red herrings, and good brain workout. (2 years, 2 months ago)

EddieCrane @ #67069: Obviously it has to be ZAHAWI because it’s factual that he held two of these posts. The alternative might be to choose a different post for one of the groups but I don’t know how possible it is to avoid duplication. Obviously it’s a unique theme and a bit of fun rather than a normal grid. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Ant @ #67069: You should try to avoid duplicates in a grid. Perhaps replace Zaharia with someone else (2 years, 2 months ago)

Bathfood @ #67009: Ditto. Lovely grid, thanks. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Bathfood @ #67040: Lovely. Fun grid. Strictly speaking, I think "red" could be swapped with either "green" or "black". There are plenty of other lovely herrings without this colour group. So maybe change "red" into "pine" Great work. Thanks. (2 years, 2 months ago)

meepmo @ #66938: this was really fun! I liked that you had some red herrings but they were things that didn't *quite* fit the pattern (eg sent in essential is spelled wrong) which meant you could try and figure out what the red herring was abductively rather than just cycling through the options. Much more satisfying :) (2 years, 2 months ago)

alejandro @ #66876: Please disregard the hateful comment - I found this one challenging but not impossible. I was able to find the groups all right, but two of the connections eluded me.

JEREMY @ #66881: Interesting that is a different style of wall, but it was too easy and all the connections were essentially the same. There were no crossovers (2 years, 2 months ago)

Toferino @ #66886: Not bad for a first submission. If I'd offer one piece of advice, the Dales category is a little too restricted to a certain geographical area (arguably it's true of ANY category, I didn't get the Narnia connection either, as I haven't read the books) and perhaps slightly too esoteric in nature. I live in London and there are many, many walls on here, for instance, that contain underground stops on the Tube as a category. I spot them instantly, whereas others would be left scratching their heads. It's a tough balance between 'general interest' and 'a bit too easy' and hard to get just right - but a good effort for a first attempt. Well done for avoiding subjects such as Harry Potter, Cluedo, London Tube map (!) and others that feature very heavily. Long term fans of this site know that originality is hard to come by, after almost 70,000 submissions! (2 years, 2 months ago)

Nomis @ #66878: There is a problem with this grid : Phoenix and Pegasus or Phoenix and Fairy are interchangeable. All of them have wings and are mythical creatures. Thus, a Fairy/Chicken/Wasp/Phoenix line and a Kitsune/Werewolf/Pegasus/Kraken line are a correct solution as well... (2 years, 2 months ago)

Georgina @ #50890: Really good, lots of crossovers. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Georgina @ #55022: Very fun! (2 years, 2 months ago)

JJ @ #66808: @Wordsworth Yeah, for me, sitting VOLLEYBALL felt a bit obscure... I thought sitting DUCK was great. I'm prob to blame for not getting the others: sitting ROOM is more of a British thing (and I'm an American who grew up with a living ROOM) and sitting PRETTY is just not really in my vocabulary (sounded vaguely familiar when I heard it but had no idea what it meant). (2 years, 2 months ago)

JJ @ #66808: Good crossovers with DUCK and BUNNY but the sitting line is rooouugh. Also I get kinda nitpicky when "____" clues are made of both two-word and one-word answers (e.g. Ajar, NIGHTjar vs COOKIE jar, JAM jar). (2 years, 2 months ago)

Wordsworth @ #66808: @Wye Knott – is this in reference to the volleyball square, or something else? (2 years, 2 months ago)

Helen @ #66800: Same as grids 66748 and 66758! (2 years, 2 months ago)

Helen @ #66758: Same as grids 66748 and 66800! (2 years, 2 months ago)

Helen @ #66748: Same as grids 66758 and 66800! (2 years, 2 months ago)

JJ @ #66790: Good work! Very crosswordy. By the time I read everything and got the gist I was nearly out of time, but the connections were easy enough. I didn't know "dosh" though. After looking it up I'd say the question mark doesn't belong on that clue. Is there wordplay I'm not picking up? Seems pretty literal. Anyway, fun puzz! (2 years, 2 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #66808: Sitting? really! (2 years, 2 months ago)

JJ @ #66799: 7/10. Truly lovely Sunday afternoon puzz. Solved the grid rather quickly, but was stumped on the connections for the WRENCH row. GRAND PAUSE row is cute. Good puzzin', cause inn. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #66786: Hmmm! (2 years, 2 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #66787: OK, I'll give you that. Turn on the tears😆 (2 years, 2 months ago)

Paul @ #66789: Lovely! Extra points for monkey island! (2 years, 2 months ago)

B @ #66781: Had to look up the lighting, cool to know (2 years, 2 months ago)

Mister+Tom @ #66795: Same here. Connection might as well be "they are all Surnames" (2 years, 2 months ago)

Sean @ #66669: Wouldn't accept supernatural creatures for the spooky creatures answer. Good grid, though (2 years, 2 months ago)

Ben @ #66795: This was quite fun, but I always find a bit odd when there are three groups that are fairly common knowledge, then a fourth group that's (IMO) pretty obscure. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Wils @ #65445: Good grid, nice for me who’s just starting (2 years, 2 months ago)

fi @ #66785: just couldn't see the anagrams, got the groups and the links except the last one. (2 years, 2 months ago)

fi @ #66790: enjoyed this a lot. confetti in under two minutes, love confetti. (2 years, 2 months ago)

fi @ #66791: confetti, yay! good brain stretcher, not in the mood for fiendish. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Georgina @ #65743: Fun grid! (2 years, 2 months ago)

Ben @ #66787: This was exceptional, thank you. Came so close to confetti, but couldn't for the life of me get the Napoleon connection. (2 years, 2 months ago)

puzzler1424 @ #66791: Very good grid, some red herrings had me running in circles (2 years, 2 months ago)

Georgina @ #573: Fantastic themes! (2 years, 2 months ago)

freddgar @ #66790: Excellent, love this style of grid Haven't seen one for a while, didn't recognize it and thus failed dismally Thanks for posting (2 years, 2 months ago)

Georgina @ #66185: Really liked this one! (2 years, 2 months ago)

Georgina @ #14884: Very fun! (2 years, 2 months ago)

Georgina @ #32600: Loved this, great theme! (2 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #66751: Really good - I'd no idea of the noise group link though, and even when the link was revealed I'd never heard of any of the songs (was that group deliberately obscure or was I just unlucky?) (2 years, 2 months ago)

Georgina @ #47080: Love the Beethoven clue! (2 years, 2 months ago)

Hmm @ #66766: Alas, too young but enjoyed your grid (and your comments). V. British! (2 years, 2 months ago)

Georgina @ #50900: Fun groups! (2 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #66766: Excellent - good fun. The 54321 group was a bit oldschool for me ( only heard of two of them)and I only separated it from the Eldorado line by luck but I managed it. Thank you. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Georgina @ #47100: Love it, so fun! (2 years, 2 months ago)

JJ @ #66766: Too British for me 🙈 (2 years, 2 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #66766: Fiddlesticks, in this context is a bit obscure, don't you think? (2 years, 2 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #66768: Never heard of tuppence. And a standard medical word for it was rejected in favour of the coy description. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Susan Main @ #66773: It's Pittodrie and Easter Road, so that doesn't really work as a red herring for the islands group (and I agree that Seychelles doesn't fit in that group). Sorry :-( (2 years, 2 months ago)

Ned+Lalky @ #66760: good grid the names caught out (2 years, 2 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #66770: What fi said. Again. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #66773: Everything fi said. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #66775: JJ - paper round is a paper boy's route, or collection of customers. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #66775: It needs to accept knot singular, as well as knots. (2 years, 2 months ago)

JJ @ #66775: Nice grid! Pretty easy but the paper row threw me. Never heard of a paper ROUND. I think that’s a Britishism, which seems to have roughly the same meaning as paper BOY. Paper SHOP? I guess, in that anything could be a shop, but I’d call that a stationery store, unless it means something else entirely. TRAIL, PLANE, PLATE, or THIN could be good paper swaps. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Hitower @ #66581: Really good, well done (2 years, 2 months ago)

Brightlingc @ #66751: Yay! 10/10 in the Nick of time! Great grid! (2 years, 2 months ago)

fi @ #66768: what a stinker, i do not watch ghosts, never heard of the pax calender and synonyms for what? i admit thats the group i saw first but couldn't believe that was an acceptable group to post so didn't pursue it. my husband couldn't believe it either!!! (2 years, 2 months ago)

Anvil @ #66751: I loved it! But then I like music! Getting bored of all the synonym links and anagrams in most grids these days (2 years, 2 months ago)

fi @ #66770: a good brain stretcher, i enjoyed this one more than some where i got confetti. (2 years, 2 months ago)

fi @ #66773: i hate football, wasn't ever gonna get that group. in the islands group surely a group of islands like the seychelles doesn 't really fit? (2 years, 2 months ago)

Freddgar @ #66773: Liked this one, red herrings had me going in circles for a while 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 2 months ago)

Freddgar @ #66775: Nice and easy grid, couple of good red herrings 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 2 months ago)

scowrer @ #66754: BinDipper, I was worried about the possibility of that, the question mark on Life on Mars? means it can only be the Bowie song, not the tv show. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Steven @ #66773: Very cleverly done (2 years, 2 months ago)

Tim Symes @ #66761: Excellent grid. Was foxed by Bushbaby, Got it in 4th grooup Wasn't Pigeoned at all, All genuine, and legal words (2 years, 2 months ago)

MistaDuran @ #66741: Nice! (2 years, 2 months ago)

mal @ #66719: Fun, and some nice musical cross overs (2 years, 2 months ago)

fi @ #66719: yay, confetti!!! it's been quite a few grids since i got confetti, nice to have it back!! (2 years, 2 months ago)

fi @ #66751: i don't know enough about music to do well at or enjoy this grid. (2 years, 2 months ago)

fi @ #66748: my worst score ever! one group, one connection! this one just did not suit me. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Bob @ #66692: I think you mean Jerry Springer, former mayor of Cincinnati! Nice grid overall! (2 years, 2 months ago)

Tom @ #66748: Could maybe use another red herring or two? I solved the grid very quickly, but having said that I couldn't work out one of the groups. (2 years, 2 months ago)

gridlington @ #66736: I was a bit dubious when I saw another "numbers" homophone group, but the rest of it made up for that! 😁 (2 years, 2 months ago)

gridlington @ #66747: I liked the "foot" row! (2 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #66734: American Presidents not accepted (2 years, 2 months ago)

Clare @ #66734: The game told me "Presidents" was not the connection between four presidents. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Nomis @ #66740: @Malcontent, you're right. I've edited it and switched Piano to Fortepiano and Wurlitzer to Keytar (because it's fun !) (2 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #66740: Really great, but piano and Wurlitzer could be swapped over between their respective groups, so there are two valid solutions. Some pianos fit the link for the Wurlitzer group while not all Wurlitzers do (I'd only ever heard of them as pipe organs, but the brand produced a wide range of other acoustic instruments), while both Wurlitzers and pianos fit the group piano is in.

meepmo @ #39029: I loved this puzzle! It did a really good job of mixing up genres (from classics, cartoons, etc.) so that you had to think more deeply about the connections beyond the immediate associations of the clues. Especially liked the animals + spiders clues. PS I think some of the other commenters here are right spoilsports. This wasn't any more knowledge-based than other ones on this site. And "you really should have better things to do with your time" coming from someone who apparently spends their time making rude comments on people who have made them puzzles for free?! ffs (2 years, 2 months ago)

datroof @ #66697: "NATO phonetic alphabet" and "dances" could form part of an OVERUSED PUZZGRID GROUPING category. Any other candidates, puzzlers? (2 years, 2 months ago)

ihamwhatiham @ #66714: Nice grid but I would say the food group is a little inconsistent between types of food e.g./food groups dairy and macronutrients e.g. protein (2 years, 2 months ago)

Toferino @ #66719: Nice grid, with some interesting crossovers. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #66704: Quite good. Good red herring group. Not too obscure (2 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #66636: Nice. Solved in 30 seconds. Mostly very straightforward, but I had no clue about the fireplace group. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #66684: Good ideas, but not a solvable grid except by pure luck. Waterhead is a place name, so Loo and Head could be swapped between groups, which means there were at least two equally valid solutions to the grid. Also, I've never heard of 'head' as slang for lavatory, so that made the setter's version of the full solution impossible for me to find. I saw all four connections well before I ran out of lives, but couldn't sort the final two groups (2 years, 2 months ago)

A @ #54971: Hah, this is the coolest one I've seen! (2 years, 2 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #66700: Reasonable mix but too easy. The full 10 took well under a minute. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Giggsy @ #65792: Dearest puzzmaker, I write to you on this, the warmest of days under the strangest of circumstance.

Nomis @ #66691: cool grid ! (2 years, 2 months ago)

Gridlington @ #66684: Good grid. "Head" is used in the military, esp Navy for toilet. I didn't fall for your gospels red-herring - but then I used it in grid 20661! 😄 (2 years, 2 months ago)

dollymix @ #66684: My only quibble is that the Friends group is all very common names, which makes it tough to guess. I'd suggest switching one out for Courteney, the distinctive spelling of which should give a bigger hint. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Toferino @ #66682: A bit too vague - there are too many legitimate ways to complete this grid. I got the Danube group and that was it. I suspected a Shaespearean connection but was unable to eliminate the red herrings. the UCL group is impossible to spot if you're not a Liverpool fan. I feel that the creator could do more to help lead the reader to the right answer eventually. This one is just on the wrong side of challenging. (2 years, 2 months ago)

JJ @ #66664: Had to look up BODY -- turns out it's actually BODDY (not that I remembered that character anyway). The Chinese etymology row is rough. According to some quick Googling, only KUMQUAT seems to have clear Chinese (Cantonese) etymological roots. The rest are disputed at best (KETCHUP) if not wrong (folks seem to agree MONSOON is from Arabic via Portuguese). It's a further stretch to throw a phrase in there IMO (which also seems to be disputed). Other rows are nice though! (2 years, 2 months ago)

JJ @ #66636: Nice. Was looking for "off the ___" with CUFF and CHAIN. Thameslink is tough for folks not in the UK. Adding obfuscation to the Pokemon line feels cruel ... FIRE/BUG/ROCK/POISON alone would have me stumped. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Horatio @ #66634: I don't like this - the whole nationality nicknames thing can be consigned to history, and the Lurcher line is rubbish - only three of the words fit. (2 years, 2 months ago)

fi @ #66644: easy, but i'll take my confetti wherever i can!! (2 years, 2 months ago)

Mr. Ruth @ #55865: nice grid... not (2 years, 2 months ago)

Katrina @ #66643: I don't think it's ideal to have "ring" in there twice - if you click on the wrong one the group isn't accepted. Maybe consider swapping out the one from the jewellery group? (2 years, 2 months ago)

Aetees @ #66644: Very easy but pleasant. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Mr. Ruth @ #66299: love the kung fu panda reference but the letter one was kinda cringe, ngl (2 years, 2 months ago)

Katrina @ #66629: Could you add simply "synonyms" for the moral group? (2 years, 2 months ago)

Katrina @ #66634: For me lurch doesn't quite have the right meaning for that group. Otherwise a nice puzzle. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Katrina @ #66641: Thanks for the spot! (2 years, 2 months ago)

Puzzie @ #66641: Markaa should be Markka (2 years, 2 months ago)

Big woo @ #66631: @spikethecat Danke (german), tack (swedish), asante (swahili), toda (hebrew) for your comments. While you can add ful to make words they're not synonyms. Tiercel seemed an acceptable alternative spelling. Hob is a male ferret. (2 years, 2 months ago)

spikethecat @ #66631: Thanks for posting something original. Improvement opportunities: "Ful" is equally applicable as "less"; "Tiercel" is spelled "Tercel". It would be great if you could expand on your answers as I question the "Hob" as a male animal answer and would love to know the languages you are referencing. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Ben @ #66512: This was fun! I think because some of the connections don't have an obvious description (e.g. demolition group) you need to allow more answers (e.g. "man"). Also "city" wasn't accepted for the Hilton group. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Leigh @ #66537: Very hard but pretty satisfying. I might quibble about the definition of the group with "Simultaneous" but perhaps that would be pedantic of me. (2 years, 2 months ago)

b @ #66188: Easy enough, but from time to time it's nice to find one like this. I suggest you ignore the pedant who has written about Durham. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Mister+Tom @ #66338: Honest opinion? -what fresh hell is this. - oh, I recognise 2 of them and those 2 look like surnames. Tick. - no idea about the rest, those look like first names. It's probably sex and the city or something. Tick. -still no clue. Those look like wordy ones. Oh, it's done. Got 4 groups and one explanation. Herrings spotted? Zero. and maybe im just in a terrible mood today but it felt like the opposite of fun. The Ptolemy group is pticularly pterrible: practically everything fits that property. If you were using that to generate misdirection it didn't work. Don't let me put you off, but there it is. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #12138: Good, but Bailey and El Paso can be directly swapped between their two groups, so the grid doesn't really work properly. I could see what all the groups were, but had to make a random guess on my last life to solve the grid, because there's not just one correct solution. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Malcontent @ #66185: Fun and simple. Thank you. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Malcontent @ #42198: Good fun, not too hard. The trickiest was the Horrid group, because the definitions were more obscure and the words weren't accurate homophones of each other. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Malcontent @ #35398: Nice mix, nice and straightforward. Thanks (2 years, 3 months ago)

Malcontent @ #28219: Very good,fun, and pretty straightforward, but mash also has associations with golf, so wedge and mash could be swapped between groups. (2 years, 3 months ago)

puzzluver @ #66096: We believe that the "gospels" clue should also accept the answer "apostles". Otherwise, fantastic grid!! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Quizzer @ #66288: Nice red herrings! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ludwig @ #66271: @missinglynx sorry didn't think of that, I edited it :) (2 years, 3 months ago)

Sodjim @ #66188: Enjoyyyyy (2 years, 3 months ago)

Giggsy @ #66163: We a-Plod you for this wonderful puzz 😉 j/k (2 years, 3 months ago)

Gridlington @ #66295: Good grid! Loved the Aysia group - no idea about the nano group! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Giggsy @ #66231: Good job, scratchylegs! By the way, Giggsy is BACK! 😍 (2 years, 3 months ago)

TooCritcalSteve @ #65596: dont you mean *French* Guyana (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ben @ #66258: This is lovely - really need to accept "solfege" on the doe group though. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Rustic @ #66289: Nice. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #66289: Used to listen to Neddie and co as a young 'un, happy days Still can on R4X :-) Great grid, good mix of subjects and red herrings 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 3 months ago)

lindsey @ #66289: always quality grids from Little Quill, thanks (2 years, 3 months ago)

Helen @ #65662: American? The word predates American by a millennium! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Helen @ #65629: I selected English for language... (2 years, 3 months ago)

b @ #66288: Really enjoyed that, but then I'm old enough to remember Neddie Seagoon, General Aston Villa and the famous Eccles in his sackcloth. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Cath @ #66289: This was a great! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #66287: Very good, didn't know about the Gin line ( my favourite tipple ) You win 10-7 Thanks for posting (2 years, 3 months ago)

Paul Jackson @ #66087: "PC manufacturers" should be accepted. (2 years, 3 months ago)

David+ @ #66274: The group with aphorism was too strict a connection, otherwise liked it a lot. (2 years, 3 months ago)

missinglynx @ #66271: We put 'Heads of State' for the Tsar group, which should be correct I feel. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Helen @ #66266: Although it was quite easy anyway and I got them all, it was a bit confusing with upper and lower cases. But I see comments on this - do people read comments before doing the grid?! (2 years, 3 months ago)

George @ #66266: Not up to scratch (2 years, 3 months ago)

malcolm @ #66266: ruth is not a lad's name (2 years, 3 months ago)

Krista Lonsdale @ #66231: Nice! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Krista Lonsdale @ #66274: Did It! But not too easy so fun-TY (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ian S @ #66271: Too obscure for me. Is 'part of name's of something' a valid group? (2 years, 3 months ago)

Core crew @ #66276: Have you never heard of soup :) (2 years, 3 months ago)

gridlington @ #66276: "So up"? Not sure what that is. Did you mean "Sew up"? (2 years, 3 months ago)

Atticus @ #65621: Excellent meta theme (2 years, 3 months ago)

gridlington @ #66274: Hmm, yes agree with pedantic pedant. One plural with 3 singulars... Also, the Exodus line are "books" of the old testament not chapters. Each book has chapters within it. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Bibble @ #66267: Pretty sure Ruth isn't a lad! :) (2 years, 3 months ago)

Will @ #66266: And this one was a bit too lower case for me. But a lot easier having done the other one. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Will @ #66267: Caps threw me off. But lovely grid (2 years, 3 months ago)

Pedant @ #66274: Doctorial? Maybe doctoral or doctorate. Proverbs is plural and the others are singular? (2 years, 3 months ago)

N Robinson @ #66280: Please take this puzzgrid off. It's ridiculous rubbish. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Hamburger @ #66275: I went with a 'b' instead of a 'gl', but 'd' works and 'st' and many others. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Moggy @ #66258: Nice ty (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ian S @ #66185: Enjoyed this grid. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Quizzer @ #66271: Fun one. Thanks for the confetti. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Quizzer @ #66251: Good tough grid, though omelette is missing an 'e'! (2 years, 3 months ago)

datroof @ #66251: The Python group wiiiiith...herrings! was top notch. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Paquito @ #25088: fun (2 years, 3 months ago)

BalletMage @ #66263: i figured out flan and yord but didn’t know the other two. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Paquito @ #57844: very easy a little of geography (2 years, 3 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #66260: Got me my confetti thanks. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #66253: Well I like them 😉 (2 years, 3 months ago)

Will @ #62730: Excellent theme (2 years, 3 months ago)

Will @ #66185: A very satisfying and interesting puzzle. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ludwig @ #66260: @Ace Both are words actually. :) A depositary is a party that receives a deposit. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Guy Morgan @ #66251: Really good! Some unexpected ones in there. (2 years, 3 months ago)

JBOX720 @ #66266: Sorry, uploaded this twice. Assumed all answers were automatically made uppercase. Please ignore. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Kopdog @ #66262: The red-backed shrike can be in the red group too so that was confusing. (2 years, 3 months ago)

fi @ #65919: nice grid, good red herring (!!!!) on the fish group, bass, streamers, yay. (2 years, 3 months ago)

fi @ #66185: yay, streamers! i enjoyed that one, not just because i got streamers, finding the links & groups was very sartisfying. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #66260: Nasty misspelling to make it work. Depository. (2 years, 3 months ago)

missinglynx @ #66255: We liked this but only scored 4. Apparently, Colchester does not have a cathedral. I thought the anagrams and days of the week were fair enough, the days because they were all in different places (not just one of them)...and the buns gave us something to chew over! 5 stars from us. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Bibble @ #66251: Good grid! Hard but good (2 years, 3 months ago)

Paquito @ #35374: Easy and funny (2 years, 3 months ago)

missinglynx @ #66258: Loved it because it could be puzzled out and only required fairly general knowledge - but still needed to reload though! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Sredni @ #66252: Bravo! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Horatio @ #66253: Bad in so many ways. No fun, waste of time, please stop. The player doesn't see the disclaimer until 3 minutes has been wasted. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Malcontent @ #66255: The Roman settlement group is also just a group of cities with cathedrals. The theme of the anagram group was very vague, and the day of the week abbreviations being at any point in the word, rather than all at the start or the end, made it almost impossible to sort. That said, I solved the grid with time to spare and saw all the links except the anagrams. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Mister+Tom @ #66258: Nice, and appreciated the red herrings, but some clues need shortening. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Bill @ #64776: Only mercury is a liquid metal at room temperature, which is what would be known by following the periodic table. Otherwise good. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #66257: I like this one, couple of decent red herrings but quite straightforward (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #66255: Couple of them just too abstract, the anagrams in particular. And the Roman group are all simply towns, or cathedrals, no need to be so specific and insist on the Roman connection. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Will @ #66255: Too hard. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Bibbity+Bill @ #66189: Dom - err... what's a Red Belt?! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Lily @ #66190: Fun (2 years, 3 months ago)

Atticus @ #66253: FYI, when entering possible answers, you should put only the part of the answer word that is shared across all variations. Here you accept 'nationality' but you don't accept 'nationalities'- you could put nationalit as a possible answer and it would cover both (2 years, 3 months ago)

Atticus @ #66254: You have to accept 'flowers' as a group, that's way too specific and obscure (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #66236: Obscure is not the same as good. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Alan Bitchmarsh @ #66254: Pretty sure one group is flowers (2 years, 3 months ago)

count-snackula @ #66231: Nice (2 years, 3 months ago)

Justforfun @ #66253: * not to be taken seriously! (2 years, 3 months ago)

CSS @ #66184: Very enjoyable grid! (2 years, 3 months ago)

tabi @ #66246: jk I cant delete that comment oh no (2 years, 3 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #66231: Chuckled at the snail line. Ta very much (2 years, 3 months ago)

tabi @ #66246: I loved this grid papa. ps papa can I be let out of the cupboard its been a week. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #66224: Nice one Plod, made me smile, thank you (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ian S @ #66231: Enjoyed this grid. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Paquito @ #57282: easy and funny (2 years, 3 months ago)

Helen @ #66228: Surely there are always specialist lines? I thought it was good, with enough crossovers. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Fred @ #66191: @Ace Depends on your age. Certainly not obscure to me. (2 years, 3 months ago)

David @ #65662: What kind of work is surceases? (2 years, 3 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #66226: Challenging, but good fun (2 years, 3 months ago)

David @ #65769: So musical groups with colours is not correct, but bands is? And also Whitesnake is not two words. (2 years, 3 months ago)

David @ #65782: I said Detective Authors and it was wrong? (2 years, 3 months ago)

Kate @ #66231: Please add "types of berries" as an acceptable answer. Otherwise, great grid! (2 years, 3 months ago)

BinDipper @ #66238: The misspelling of Frasier is a shame. That made it look like it was a red herring for the group that it's in. (2 years, 3 months ago)

alejandro @ #66224: Can you accept "clergy"? (2 years, 3 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #66226: I got this after doing your similar puzzle! thanks (2 years, 3 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #66190: good (2 years, 3 months ago)

benj @ #66221: Mantel (2 years, 3 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #66168: Nice, once I'd twigged it became easier. Shame I can't type furniture!! Good fun (2 years, 3 months ago)

Anastase @ #66219: Nice grid. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Horatio @ #66228: Silly to have a line where only 1% o the population will have the specific knowledge to make the link - wrecked what could have been a good puzzle. (2 years, 3 months ago)

x @ #66196: Clue should be accepted instead of Cluedo, as in the USA it's more commonly known as Clue. 'White' should be accepted as an answer for the Velvet, Clovers, Russian, and Cedar group (as White can precede them all). (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #66226: Very clever. 10/10, but would never have got the dog on its own, perhaps Snoopy would have been better in the clue? (2 years, 3 months ago)

Lily @ #66226: Good fun (2 years, 3 months ago)

Moggy @ #66226: Nice ty (2 years, 3 months ago)

GerryBlue @ #66209: Liked this, thanks! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #66212: Not unique - Shake, twist and wobble could all switch groups and still fit. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #66209: Two of the categories did not make any sense. The answers were just lists, but not the actual connections. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Dom @ #66189: Party, Belt, Card, Line can also all follow RED (2 years, 3 months ago)

rjj @ #65930: "military" should be an allowed answer for SOLDIER, WARRIOR, CAVALIER, KNIGHT (2 years, 3 months ago)

JonBob @ #66209: Fun! I don't think it's unique. You could swap Iron and Bogey, certainly. (2 years, 3 months ago)

ToThePoint @ #66212: ‘Push’ could be an accepted synonym. Thanks for the grid. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Mr. Ruth @ #55634: harder than the last one (2 years, 3 months ago)

Mr. Ruth @ #37865: nice (2 years, 3 months ago)

Paquito @ #66216: six letters 11 is eleven, six letters 20 is twnety, six letters..... (2 years, 3 months ago)

what? @ #66216: Sorry, this did not match. The connection was: 11 eleven 20 twenty 80 eighty 90 ninety WHAT? (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #66203: The challenge here was not to find the groups, but to do so without falling for any of the red herrings. One try per group. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Mr. Ruth @ #55707: no idea what ancient form from Willendorf to Hohl means (2 years, 3 months ago)

WonderSR @ #49986: Merci pour cette super grille ! A noter que "Panthéon" n'a pas été reconnu comme mot clé pour valider la catégorie. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Helen @ #66207: Agree with gridlington (2 years, 3 months ago)

Mr. Ruth @ #37982: Pretty good. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Isa Hussain @ #66084: Sorry didn't realise I had homework so late with completing it and wasn't sure exactly what to do. (2 years, 3 months ago)

b @ #66185: Fun; easy for those who can see the links (2 years, 3 months ago)

b @ #66203: Fun, but quite easy for those of us who know stuff. Nice try with the red herrings. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #66209: Good grid, some nice red herrings 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 3 months ago)

gridlington @ #66207: "sound american"? Bit subjective really. And whilst the link may be "tautological rivers", they are still all rivers nonetheless, and so "rivers" is a valid link. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Mr. Ruth @ #65781: Good red herrings. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Isaa Khan @ #66084: Sorry, not great results but we were having teething issues with understanding what to do. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Mr. Ruth @ #66198: *SPOILER* The category where you add a letter is bad. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Mohammed @ #66084: (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #66194: More explanations required. And is that a misspelled Joseph? (2 years, 3 months ago)

Just @ #66190: And 66062 (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #66191: @Joni, because of the relatively obscure ex-footballers, most likely. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #66187: Much more difficult than it seems like it ought to be. Well done. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Joni @ #66191: Really good grid. Don’t understand why it’s only got 3 stars. It’s a 5 from me. Thank you Noelski (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #66181: Famous? Hardly. Obscure, niche, maybe even cult, but not famous. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Eileen Robinson @ #66191: Got 2 and ran out of time as I was doing the 3rd. Very good! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #66197: Very good, lots of red herrings possible 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 3 months ago)

Mick+ @ #66188: Durham is a city, not a town (2 years, 3 months ago)

Darren Stait @ #66154: THIS IS WRONG! TATTOOIST HAS 4 Ts NOT 3!!! (2 years, 3 months ago)

fi @ #66188: good fun, i love it when i get the overall theme and the streamers. (2 years, 3 months ago)

SiliconDioxide @ #66193: apologies if this is niche, this was meant to be for a group of friends of mine (2 years, 3 months ago)

Fortnite @ #66193: mfw i got 4 and not 5 cause the connection was humanoids and not races (2 years, 3 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #66193: A tad niche perhaps old chum? (2 years, 3 months ago)

Mister+Tom @ #66190: 16209 is also in a similar vein ;-) (2 years, 3 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #66184: very good mix (2 years, 3 months ago)

gridlington @ #66190: Have a look at grid 27477. I used a vaguely similar format! 😁 (2 years, 3 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #66185: that was good (2 years, 3 months ago)

gridlington @ #66190: Very good! I started getting it with seconds to spare so I re-loaded. Nice one! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #66186: should have looked at the hint first lol (2 years, 3 months ago)

David @ #66012: Nice NATO crossover, stopped me a for a minute (2 years, 3 months ago)

David @ #66185: Great (2 years, 3 months ago)

Mister+Tom @ #66188: Very nice. Had that sliver of red herring that some setters miss when they try this sort of nice puzzle, turned it from a 3* to a 5* (2 years, 3 months ago)

brinky @ #66190: Nice grid thanks for posting it. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #66190: Really good grid, easy when you spot the plot , took me a while though Loved the theme 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 3 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #66188: This was easy, but really fun thank you (2 years, 3 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #66190: Did terribly, but loved it! (2 years, 3 months ago)

David @ #65004: Yes, the compass one was out of keeping (2 years, 3 months ago)

David @ #65886: impossible (2 years, 3 months ago)

David @ #65901: too many crossovers makes it impossible (2 years, 3 months ago)

David @ #66019: films too obscure (2 years, 3 months ago)

David @ #66164: Films too obscure (2 years, 3 months ago)

Omegaman+ @ #66176: Think you need to widen the answers for the stand group. I consider these to be items of furniture (2 years, 3 months ago)

missinglynx @ #66178: Hi gridlinton. Glad you are enjoying some of my grids. I had in mind the epigram sometimes placed at the beginning of a book or chapter (tckpublishing includes it in their article "Parts of a book"), but it may have been better to use the more precise term for a written epigram, an epigraph. Do you think I should change it? (2 years, 3 months ago)

gridlington @ #66178: Epigram doesn't really fit with the other three, as it's not part of a book. Did you maybe mean Epilogue? (2 years, 3 months ago)

fi @ #66102: yaay, streamers. i'm not too keen on the new look. long live luddites. (2 years, 3 months ago)

missinglynx @ #66168: Thanks for the feedback, and sorry to have forgotten 'cereals'...will put that right straight away. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ben @ #66163: You've put this together brilliantly, thank you so much! (2 years, 3 months ago)

gridlington @ #66101: Another good one! Y'beat me! (2 years, 3 months ago)

gridlington @ #66148: Hmm... not your best work (and I'm working through all of yours because I loved the latest one!) The hidden numbers one is overused and the "teen" row was too obscure for most people to get. Can do better. See me. 😂 (2 years, 3 months ago)

gridlington @ #66168: By the way, it didn't accept "cereals" for the grains. (2 years, 3 months ago)

gridlington @ #66168: Brilliant idea! I had to restart as I ran out of time looking for chess pieces! 😂 Got it in the end though. I love a novel and creative approach - getting a bit tired of "things that can come before another word"! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #66168: Excellent grid, didn't have a clue In the true spirit of the original Well put together You win 10-0 Thanks for posting (2 years, 3 months ago)

Joni @ #66168: Brilliant. Thank you (2 years, 3 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #66168: Didn't do very well, but I really enjoyed the theme once I got it! (2 years, 3 months ago)

scowrer @ #66163: Best grid I've played in a while, very elegant, 5 stars. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Tom @ #66135: Not the most challenging but enjoyable :) (2 years, 3 months ago)

Tom @ #66161: Enjoyed the grid, thanks! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #66173: Loved it, thanks (2 years, 3 months ago)

Leigh @ #66172: Nice balance of elegance and difficulty. One group for me was much harder than the others, but maybe some people would have spotted that one instantly… (2 years, 3 months ago)

Atticus @ #66162: Unfortunately there are multiple other solutions- for example (Sergeant/ White/ Black/ Yellow PEPPER) and (Paper/ Cup/ Card/ Hard BOARD) along with the ranks and racecourse conditions (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #66160: Bird group really only possible by a process of elimination, not possible to get it without first getting the football one. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Malcontent @ #66162: Very good, but Paper should be Paperback to fit the connection properly. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Fnord @ #65971: OK. That one was brilliant. Inspiring in fact. EAT THE RICH!!!!! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Fnord @ #65990: Oh, well done , sir. You have bested my weak, Bolshevik mind. Mussolini would be proud. Excellent grid. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Fnord @ #66133: Really enjoyed this one. Many thanks. The means of production should be owned by the proletariat. Peace! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Shane @ #66150: Not hard but fun (2 years, 3 months ago)

Fnord @ #66028: Gridiculous!!!!!! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Fnord @ #66038: Bit too easy for me, but then; I had a university education paid for by the taxpayer. Socialism, eh? Keep trying, toryboy. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Fnord @ #66063: Challenging - fun! (2 years, 3 months ago)

David @ #66063: This is a UK grid, slumber party is an american term. The life one can also be making new words with one letter added, glow/blow, knight, glove/clove, rafter. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Quizzer @ #66162: So many red herrings I went mad, congratulations. Have to say I've never encountered the racecourse category before. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Quizzer @ #66153: Good grid, thanks. If VCM were in a kind mood, do you think she might accept "Australian animals" for one of these rows? (2 years, 3 months ago)

Fnord @ #66102: Solid! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Jodmis @ #63342: Favourite one ever! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Fnord @ #66114: Great grid! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Fnord @ #66116: FUN! (The Queen is dead). (2 years, 3 months ago)

Jay Freeman @ #66156: I think you're excellent. My wife disagrees. But she's on her last legs. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #66151: Loved it (2 years, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #66161: Very good, liked this one, some nice red herrings 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #66159: Fairly easy grid Maybe allow synonyms for the stalk and merge groups Other than, straightforward grid Thanks for posting (2 years, 3 months ago)

alejandro @ #66159: I put "hunt" and "join" and they weren't accepted (2 years, 3 months ago)

Puzzfan @ #66151: I'm not just salty because I didn't get it; I genuinely think this is a poor convention to use in this format. Thank you for your time. Take care. (2 years, 3 months ago)

mj @ #66159: didn't understand the "heal" grouping (2 years, 3 months ago)

fi @ #66154: what a stinker!! 3 points, lowest ever!!!! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Name786179 @ #66104: How is anyone supposed to get it right if it wont accept the correct answer. (2 years, 3 months ago)

TDA @ #66154: Very bad (2 years, 3 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #66135: Good grid. You've spelt "Millennium" incorrectly though. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Rossmondo @ #66141: I feel like I need to write a really long review for this one. It appears to be all the rage now. In fact I don't think I've ever written a review for one of these puzzles before. Please don't criticise me if you disagree with my opinion (even though my opinion is normally right), I think you'll find my opinions are really important. Either way, I don't think it's important whether you value my opinion or not (other than the author himself (or herself, I don't want to make assumptions these days)). And if the author does disagree with my opinions then I honesty hope I haven't caused any offence. Anyway, now down to the important bit.

Miss+Slink @ #66133: Eccentric doesn't fit in with the rest of the group. From the Collins dictionary website: "If you say that someone is eccentric, you mean that they behave in a strange way, and have habits or opinions that are different from those of most people. He is an eccentric character who likes wearing a beret and dark glasses. Synonyms: odd, strange, bizarre, weird" Clearly someone can be eccentric without being exuberant or ostentatious, and vice versa. Someone with a habit of wearing mismatched shoes, or talking in meows like a cat, might be called eccentric but not exuberant. The Taj Mahal or the Crown Jewels might be described as ostentatious or elaborate, but not eccentric (especially in the context of when they were made). (2 years, 3 months ago)

Late of Copenhagen @ #66105: The zodiac signs group is really interesting. It's not the names of the signs, rather the symbols which represent them. I had a little trouble with the Summoner group though, not being English (I'm Danish), I had to rely a little on my English textbooks in the house! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Puzzgridder69 @ #66141: @Chris no (2 years, 3 months ago)

Thatgaydonny @ #66141: I cannot believe how brilliant this puzzgrid well and truly is. I now have a new look on life and my fourth nipple is now gaping open to enjoy what new and exciting things are hurled to me in the unforeseeable future. This well and truly is one of the best things i have played i wish Freddie Mercury (the lead singer of the hit band Queen (R.I.P Queen Elizabeth 2 she was the best women out there)) had played this puzzgrid and he would have probably made a song about the stunningness of this piece of art (if you will) that i have come across, i hope people in the future will talk about this in the near future. Thank you for sharing this with the world R.I.P Jimmy Savllie "Jimm'l fix it". (2 years, 3 months ago)

Chris @ #66141: Rastclrt69 did you write your own testimonial under Puzzgridder69's name? (2 years, 3 months ago)

Puzzgridder69 @ #66141: Absolutely spectacular, I cease to believe such a brilliant, yet fun puzzgrid was made, this filled all my pleasures and was up to satisfaction, I particularly loved the roman emperor one, it was extremely creative, this puzzgrid is destined for the stars! Anyone who sees this puzzgrid, do yourself a favour and play it, you will scarcely believe it! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Aetees @ #66116: A nice, classic grid. Well put together. Not too tough, not too easy (for me anyway). (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #66128: Quite a good grid if you're studying drama, and a particular Shakespeare play, but should perhaps not be marked as 'of general interest'. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Bibble @ #66125: I agree, the homophone isn't right! But a fun grid otherwise. (2 years, 3 months ago)

daupo @ #65050: I don't really think that Lion is a match with the others, which are all the first words. Maybe not knowing the _______ Movie is on me, but I had only heard of one of them, and it seems like a cheap way to grab some very generic words. That said, I could name three of the four in the end, so more fair than I thought! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #66102: Enjoyed this, got 10/10 despite being completely wrong about the Russ group. I guess my 'barbarian' contained enough of the correct answer to be accepted (2 years, 3 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #66062: Nice and easy grid for a Sunday - thank you, Moggy (2 years, 3 months ago)

PJ Farrell @ #66033: It's not an English bulldog, it's a British bulldog. It may be this was set by an American (indicated by spelling 'colours' without the 'u'). Often the mistake made across the pond, is that UK, Britain and England are synonymous; ignoring England and Wales, and the contested Northern Ireland. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Dan @ #61118: I very much appreciate the effort in making sure that "pleonasms" also worked as the connection for the tautologies group; and I was psyched to learn about eggcorns, i did't know such things even existed! Overall, what a pun fuzzle! (2 years, 3 months ago)

edpo @ #65983: Definitely a difficult one but still nicely constructed, and not impossible with a bit of knowledge and a bit of guesswork. I for one like a more challenging grid from time to time. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Plod @ #65982: Well said : ) (2 years, 3 months ago)

Puzzgridder69 @ #65993: Absolutely extraordinary, truly a piece of art, no other puzzgrid has satisfied me to the extent this one did, I was blind, I was deaf, I was debilitated, on life support, and yet I completed this masterpiece, and here I am, like a miracle, like god had come down before me to bestow me with his gift, and so I say in complete satisfaction and awe, a 10/10.

Mr. Ruth @ #65982: Overall this grid was bad but also was bad in parts. 0/5 would not recommend. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Horatio @ #65983: Not sure where to start with this - impossible to complete in the time limit, so absolutely no fun at all. So dull when setters simply try to show how 'clever' they are by spending an hour on Google devising a 3 minute puzzle. Do better. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Helen @ #65882: How come groups of 3? Why would the site even let you do it. Took me too long to work out what was going on! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Lou @ #65947: all too similar - all of them a prefix link - each line should be a different connection - these for groups should be in four different grids. these grids are not like Only Connect - if they are meant to be they are missing the point (2 years, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #65926: As per all of above, couple of tweaks will fix what is a nice grid. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #65926: Yes, spoils it a bit when correct answers aren't accepted. Also, although I've nothing against an easy grid, the capitalisation of just four clues was a bit of a giveaway, such that I got that group before I'd even read them. But a fun grid anyway. (2 years, 3 months ago)

tequilla @ #65905: very americanized but decent grid (2 years, 3 months ago)

Claire Barrow @ #65926: palindrome only has one l. You have spelt it with 2 so right answers won't get a match.

BF @ #65853: @Ace Thanks! I swear I did Google it (I understand the suggestion as many wouldn't, but I'd never have asked without checking first ha) but only got translations of the word Letter or other irrelevant info. I searched more and eventually found it, I'm unfamiliar with the term but fair enough. With regards to Reims, it feels odd to use that when all the others are just the straight French pronunciation. I would assume the CANS was a red herring for Cannes being mispronounced. It would make a better quiz answer with all French pronunciation I think, eg use RANTS or another one like PARRY maybe.

PeteC85 @ #65863: Really good, got 4 points, but very tricky! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #65853: @BF, that's how most English-speakers would pronounce the place name, having probably never heard it said correctly. If you don't know what a French Letter is I suggest you just google it. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Paul @ #65863: Nice (even though I had no idea on the horn bell group) (2 years, 3 months ago)

Paul @ #65866: That was fun! (2 years, 3 months ago)

BF @ #65853: Love the French connection but slight issue with "REAMS" as a clue as I can't see how this sounds like Reims? The closest English word I can think of is probably "Rants". Also am I missing something, what's a French Letter? (2 years, 3 months ago)

Fred @ #65853: Excellent. Really enjoyable. Thank You! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Jon @ #65853: Not fun. What's the obsession with the French? We fought wars against them. Was the man who burnt Joan of arc just wasting good matches? (2 years, 3 months ago)

Bacon Roll @ #65865: Its a lizard Pete. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Your mother @ #64577: THis went from terribly easy to impossibly difficult. Find some consistency man! I've spent the last 17 days lying awake trying to figure out this puzzle. I finally gave up and asked my mom to type a really mean message(I can't type very fast). I hope my poor experience on this website brings you... you sick person the kind of backwards joy you deserve. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Caz2 @ #65676: Bit too easy (2 years, 3 months ago)

Your mother @ #65825: THis is absurdly bad. I consider my self to the the smartest man alive and I came NO WHERE near completing this in the allotted time. PLease refrain from submitting quizzes that make it obvious that hooligans made it. I was honestly this close to calling the FbI on you. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Leigh @ #65845: Nice grid, I especially liked the unusual Winnie the Pooh set (which I only spotted after luckily resolving the grid on the basis of the other groups!) The only minor flaw was having two synonym groups in the same grid, but that's just me being picky. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #52280: Fantastic (2 years, 3 months ago)

BritStuff @ #44787: Well hidden, so many crossovers. Good grid! (2 years, 3 months ago)

yetanotherrandomnickname @ #65765: shermham: Well, apparently it's also a term used in stock market theory (spelt like all the other items in the group) -- so it works that way too. :D (2 years, 3 months ago)

Me+another @ #65752: Boring (2 years, 3 months ago)

Sibz @ #65769: Ditto (2 years, 3 months ago)

BritStuff @ #49018: Went too early then had to struggle to work out Lions and pronouns (Very clever hadn't seen that before). Good grid, good misdirection! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Sibz @ #65764: nice (2 years, 3 months ago)

scowrer @ #65752: Loved this, as a big RHLSTP fan, Herring fitting in all four categories is genius, 5 stars. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #55166: Great fun thank you (2 years, 3 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #28408: Such a good grid! Thank you (2 years, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #65764: Another good one 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 3 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #65697: I *love* the group that includes Creek. I'm kicking myself hard for not getting it. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #43309: I enjoyed the red herrings (2 years, 3 months ago)

Kay @ #65764: Very nice- but what is "deligate"? (2 years, 3 months ago)

BritStuff @ #14884: Very tricky, couldn't get a single row. (2 years, 3 months ago)

BritStuff @ #1875: Nice crossovers (2 years, 3 months ago)

BritStuff @ #17903: I guessed Eric and Ernie, Richard and Judy. Gave "second of TV Pairs" as answer and it still worked. Nice crossovers (2 years, 3 months ago)

shermham @ #65765: yetanotherrandomnickname: I stg lol it was the name of a famous hot sauce (named after the video game). Must have Mandela Effected myself! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #65764: Good one, cunning use of an apparent misspelling. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #65765: Nice, but more variety in the connections would be better (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #65761: Only knew one of the striped ones, to my shame, but they fell out once I'd got the others. Good work. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Plod @ #65761: Mine isn't great these days either, Wye Knott. (2 years, 3 months ago)

yetanotherrandomnickname @ #65765: For the "speaking" group, the opposite word works just as well as an answer; kind of disappointed the grid doesn't accept it. And "Max" doesn't technically fit (unless you broaden the solution somewhat). Other than that, this was a quick, easy and fun solve. Thanks! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Matt @ #65545: With one second to spare! Phew! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #65761: Ahhhrg! feeble fragile memory. I am a walrus - bah!. LOL Though I remembered Come White Horses by Jackie Lee from the TV programme. TY (2 years, 3 months ago)

gridman @ #65759: Great theme, I think fvspqt is misspelt (spelt right in the answers) (2 years, 3 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #65759: Thanks, Wye Knott. The first Fiendish I cracked but didn't have time to make all connections. Loved it! (2 years, 3 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #65761: Ouch! tough one, thanks Plod. Could see the animals but not make all the connections. (2 years, 3 months ago)

BritStuff @ #48495: Was tricky but fun, didn't know the Morse code but made it work anyway (2 years, 3 months ago)

BritStuff @ #61222: Good grid, couldn't believe the anagrams! (2 years, 3 months ago)

fi @ #65743: wow, that was a pig. i'd never heard of some of the clues so there was a lot of good guesses and blind luck there. good grid. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #61118: Enjoyed this as something a little different (2 years, 3 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #15859: Enjoyed that, the red herrings were good (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #65739: @Nighteyes, We're not speaking German here, so a single syllable is the normal, English, pronunciation for torte ( also French). (2 years, 3 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #65739: The mineral group has very lax definitions. Some of the homophones are not, e.g. Torte is pronounced with two syllables as the final e is not silent, and oar sounds quite different from or or awe. Nice idea spoiled by lack of attention to detail. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Sibz @ #65748: luvlee x (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #65718: Another waste of time on a single-topic grid, this time a TV show. Ridiculous level of detail even if you watch the program concerned. (2 years, 3 months ago)

troemyd @ #65752: a genuine red herring (2 years, 3 months ago)

Trillium @ #65739: A fun one, thank you! (Spoiler Alert) --Technically, these are homophones, though some groups include one or more homographs as well. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #65751: confetti time 1, Claude HaHaHa!, 2 Kevin Butty? Smashing thanks for the laughs. (2 years, 3 months ago)

KPNuts @ #65750: 4/10 This grid is silly but not impossible (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #65744: Not bad. Would be even better if you listed the languages. Oh, and in much of the world lemonade is also a carbonated drink, so is interchangeable with the others. (2 years, 3 months ago)

TheHat1 @ #65625: Great grid (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #65745: Nice one, although the nautical group are not really synonyms. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #65748: Nice idea. Too much for me, even once I'd got the theme I needed google's help for all the titles. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #65747: Perhaps you should post as Taylor Swift Fan to give a warning and help avoid such a waste of time? (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #65750: Total garbage (2 years, 3 months ago)

Trixie @ #65739: Very nice, I enjoyed it! TY (2 years, 3 months ago)

Avenger @ #13572: Hate coffee even more now. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Avenger @ #13571: Total total rubbish. This needs to be removed. Answers that were correct were not accepted, dodgy groups and connections. Do not bother. I think reviews should be more accurate and visible before trying daft stuff like this (2 years, 3 months ago)

fi @ #65728: once i realised the general theme i just had to think of the words. that was fun. (2 years, 3 months ago)

b @ #65602: Yes, OK that one. (2 years, 3 months ago)

edpo @ #65723: @A a set of points is the place where two railway tracks meet at a junction. At least in British English -- in American English it's known as a switch. (2 years, 3 months ago)

A @ #65723: Good grid overall but I don't get how a railway track has points. Are we equating a spike to a point? Or the sleepers are rectangular therefore the corners are points? What am I missing here (2 years, 3 months ago)

Joni @ #65731: Loved it. Thank you Plod (2 years, 3 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #47791: Loved it! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #65728: Nice change, good idea, not seen this before Easy when you spot the plot 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 3 months ago)

Mister+Tom @ #65694: A nice easy one to start the day. I think the fake group needed 1 more member to make it worth it as otherwise you just click the 4 and oh it's not that. Didn't even spot it until afterwards! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Enzed @ #48722: Very good (2 years, 3 months ago)

BritStuff @ #31972: Nice one, the -ine five confused me until I remembered "If you're stuck look for numbers" (2 years, 3 months ago)

BritStuff @ #48309: Thought it was going to be easy, but the air took ages. I think no red herrings for the astrology and truck let it down. I enjoyed it though 🙂 (2 years, 3 months ago)

BritStuff @ #46908: Good red herrings (2 years, 3 months ago)

BritStuff @ #17271: Didn't know virtues. Shame on me. Nice grid, did the letters in one of the last five grids I did. (2 years, 3 months ago)

BritStuff @ #3456: Great overlaps especially gods and planets. Glad I got it. Would have liked more information on the fictional horses. Yes I can Google it but I don't want to use up all my goes (2 years, 3 months ago)

BritStuff @ #98: Did someone say tonic sol-fa? Otherwise clever, I stared at it for forty seconds and couldn't make anything work? (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ian S @ #65625: Enjoyed this grid. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #65711: I like the idea, but the vodka group aside there is no clear distinction between the others. All of them could be called cocktails, and the shot group contains some that have been so known for decades, and some of the others are also drunk as shots. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #65714: Some hard groups, really enjoyed (2 years, 3 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #65680: Ditto. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #65685: I missed the kill group but the rest were fairly easy. Good wall. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #65687: Got 10, but only 15s left, so i would say the difficulty level was perfect. When you get the other three groups, the anagrams are not too hard. Overall best wall i have seen in ages. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Bard @ #65687: I typed "insane" and it wouldn't take it. Two stars maximum. (2 years, 3 months ago)

His son, 'Frasier' is famous (of course, that's assuming you consider fictional characters to be real!!). (2 years, 4 months ago)

Bibbity+Bill @ #64517: 'Sam Fox', 'Nudist' and 'Blowhole' all in the same grid!!!??? (I'm just popping to the toilet for a few minutes!!) (2 years, 4 months ago)

count-snackula @ #65687: anagram group was a bit hard (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #65686: Too contorted, especially the waves. And the xanadu group seems to be just random words from the extract, no real clue/connection. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Nathan @ #65670: One group is also made up of compound words, eg Trampoline contains ‘tramp’ and ‘line’. Surfboard contains ‘surf’ and ‘board’. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Jesus @ #61604: "ass hole" should be accepted for Sylvester ass hole (2 years, 4 months ago)

edpo @ #65662: Nice concept! And I learnt a new word today -- surcease (2 years, 4 months ago)

Han @ #65491: Great grid - although I wouldn't consider Lindy Hop part of the latin dance family! (2 years, 4 months ago)

RacheInPeak @ #65664: Very nice idea. I was completely flummoxed, not least because my accent (British) doesn't not equate some of the sounds. (2 years, 4 months ago)

BritStuff @ #33323: Nice but I think the linked answers sometimes make it easier. (2 years, 4 months ago)

BritStuff @ #39712: Mitzvah got me, then went away and when I came back I did try to think what a bat bell was, but then the old brain cranked into life for the answer. Somehow dragged that out of the recesses. Good grid! (2 years, 4 months ago)

BritStuff @ #28660: To Will: Freema is a name like Lydia, Mary. There's an actress called Freema Agyeman... (2 years, 4 months ago)

BritStuff @ #28660: Just got it with 17 seconds to go. Was so pleased the Pride and Prejudice was right. Also got stuck on the Dam, Grand etc because I added n to Dam, Freema, and Sea. The themed answer saved me. So clever, but must be hard work to link all the answers. Thank you! (2 years, 4 months ago)

BritStuff @ #44405: Liked it. Didn't know what a capo was though! (2 years, 4 months ago)

count+snackula @ #65660: shears is a plural (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #65633: Bands group is far too vague. Nice grid apart from that. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Sodjim @ #65660: Good one (2 years, 4 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #54971: Really enjoyed this one. A challenge for my brain! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #65660: Enjoyed it thank you (2 years, 4 months ago)

BritStuff @ #38270: Evil and twisted! Which means I struggled, didn't see flamingo until too late. Good work! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Will @ #65652: Bloody good to have you back Pooky. This one was pretty weird. But enjoyed it. New car Mum? (2 years, 4 months ago)

BritStuff @ #65153: Was tempted to put "Ice Ice baby" as an answer but didn't want to risk as incorrect for a bad joke! Very very clever, thanks for thinking differently😁🙂 (2 years, 4 months ago)

Christo @ #65660: Nice grid. (2 years, 4 months ago)

BritStuff @ #17376: Node threw me but still enjoyable. (2 years, 4 months ago)

BritStuff @ #37058: Good one. I also liked the fish. Enjoying the debates about tuna/tuner, I think it's valid and close enough. (2 years, 4 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #65658: Good grid! Nice variety, good red herrings... (2 years, 4 months ago)

b @ #65577: I don't know the geeky computer graphic stuff and i can't picture Clive Barker, and the Manchester grouping of the bands is a tad specialist too, so it's only an OK from me. (2 years, 4 months ago)

hans @ #65640: very clever. thanks! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Daniel @ #29664: not your best work (2 years, 4 months ago)

Jesus @ #65642: Terrible (2 years, 4 months ago)

Jesus @ #65644: Your grid was an error (2 years, 4 months ago)

Jesus @ #65656: Maybe read the rules about how to write the categories properly. Do I need this chiseled in stone tablets AGAIN?! (2 years, 4 months ago)

PaxPax @ #65635: Agree with Billy Quizmaster Jr- Americanisms in parts. Thank you for making this though. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Plod @ #65643: You are right, thanks! (2 years, 4 months ago)

BritStuff @ #28448: Good grid, relieved when I got past the Cluedo and finally saw the wash (2 years, 4 months ago)

Feza @ #61118: Very good idea! I solved the grid but didn't know the right words for the connections. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Feza @ #59116: Good one! So many crossovers! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Feza @ #60699: Well done, missed the connection of the "different" group. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Dave-o @ #65577: I'd never heard of three of the Clives, but I linked that group as surnames of famous authors: Sherwood Anderson, Henry/P. D. James, Upton Sinclair, and Pat/Clive Barker (2 years, 4 months ago)

Dave-o @ #65598: I think swapping Aristotle and Newton would produce a better solution. Aristotle was a logician but not really a mathematician, so he'd fit better in the physicists group by virtue of having written his work called "Physics." Newton can readily backfill him in the mathematicians group by virtue of having developed calculus. (2 years, 4 months ago)

edpo @ #65625: Quite easy with no red herrings (at least none that I noticed), fun though! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Dave-o @ #65623: Nicely original format for linkages! (2 years, 4 months ago)

BritStuff @ #38844: The many German cities got me too. Good grid! (2 years, 4 months ago)

BritStuff @ #49812: Nice grid had me going round with filibuster, couldn't see the blue group with test, by luckily Alice saved me (2 years, 4 months ago)

Plod @ #65626: Fummy that is the error (2 years, 4 months ago)

Fummy @ #65626: How is "fictional elephants" not correct? all the rest are specific about the type of animal but that one. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Plod @ #65626: will try (2 years, 4 months ago)

PuzzGrid @ #65626: If you amend the edit URLs to puzzgrid2.nfshost.com it may work (or may not apologies!) (2 years, 4 months ago)

Plod @ #65626: * I know there is an error. I am trying to fix it but the page is hanging. Please give yourself the point till I can get to it. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Action @ #65618: Excellent grid (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #65612: Nice grid. I also put CS lewis which is now accepted thanks. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #65620: Too specific in the required answers. Some of the mammal group also appear in non-mammallian animal groups, for example. Got the group, but would not have put that as the connection. (2 years, 4 months ago)

edpo @ #65614: A nice idea, though I never would have spotted the "B" group due to it using a mix of prefixes and suffixes (2 years, 4 months ago)

Bibbity Bill @ #65370: I thought Britney Speers had something to do with Crabs as well? (2 years, 4 months ago)

Lily @ #37058: Nicely balanced quiz. Thank you. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Bibbity Bill @ #65418: Moaning Myrtle isn't a real ghost - she's fictional (from the Harry Potter films). (2 years, 4 months ago)

Bathfood @ #65598: I adore the subject matter, but unfortunately, many of these polymaths can fit into more than one category, so the solution is not unique. It's so nearly perfect, i'd love to see you have another go at this one. (2 years, 4 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #65601: Enjoyed gride - thank you but still doesn't like ion. Also, the land connection could be 'out'. (2 years, 4 months ago)

RacheInPeak @ #65604: Lovely! Very satisfying. (2 years, 4 months ago)

KarenK @ #54971: That was awesome! Well done. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Plod @ #65612: @spikethecat, good idea. Take that point! (2 years, 4 months ago)

spikethecat @ #65612: Please allow CS Lewis as an answer to your "Silver" line Otherwise, I got the grid and enyoyed it. Thanks :-) (2 years, 4 months ago)

Daz @ #65612: bleugh rubbish (2 years, 4 months ago)

spikethecat @ #65601: Your answer for the "Bill" line does not allow "ion" as an answer. Otherwise a good grid. TY (2 years, 4 months ago)

spikethecat @ #65592: I guessed 3/4 of this and got it right. Fun grid. Thanks. :-) (2 years, 4 months ago)

spikethecat @ #65604: Fun grid. Great quality. Good to solve. Thanks :-) (2 years, 4 months ago)

Omegaman @ #65591: Agree re the drinks comments and surely car models is sufficient? (2 years, 4 months ago)

edpo @ #65604: Nice grid, fun and cleverly constructed! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Griddy Cent @ #65585: The end of a race got us for a moment! Great grid. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #65598: Yes, plato can be regarded as a mathematician. Aristotle is not noted as a mathematician. Curie was more of a chemist. Newton probably regarded himself as a mathematician. (2 years, 4 months ago)

David @ #65500: What's a taro? (2 years, 4 months ago)

nitpicker @ #65598: Since when is Aristotle a mathematician? (2 years, 4 months ago)

David @ #65504: It's good, but script doctor is a bit obscure. (2 years, 4 months ago)

David @ #65600: Magnesium is an element, and Polynesia and Melanesia are the same thing, need to find some variety. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Reubz @ #65533: Cool (2 years, 4 months ago)

another_random_username @ #65570: A somewhat flawed grid, but not uninteresting. The "Korean" and "Paris" categories work, I think. The remaining two ... well, not so much. I can see your logic after the fact, but the cities in question could be grouped in several different ways (especially given the large number of conflicts throughout history) and I don't think you can reasonably expect people to arrive at the solution you were looking for without a bit of blind luck. The "Rome" group in particular feels weak to me. The expression you were looking for is not nearly unique enough -- surely it can be applied to all of the cities in the "Baltimore" group as well (and countless other places too)? Still, your grid prompted me to look up a few things and learn a bit about history, so thanks for that! :-) (2 years, 4 months ago)

RacheInPeak @ #65598: Some nice red herrings here with all the crossovers. (2 years, 4 months ago)

RacheInPeak @ #65600: Pretty much defeated me! But YES this is how to explain the links. (2 years, 4 months ago)

troemyd @ #65598: I know Plato was fundamentally a philosopher, but he was also a mathematician - Platonic solids etc. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #65595: Really good. I got totally distracted by convincing myself that the connections were something else entirely and spent A LOT of time on that! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Kitty @ #65591: Agree with David - also, only Costa is actually a company in itself, the others are just brands under Coca-Cola (2 years, 4 months ago)

allium @ #9214: definitely agree with SidC! i imagine it would have been a bit easier of a board if i had more of a British or biologist background, but even without that it was easy to figure out the theme which made it fun even if i couldn't figure out all the categories! (2 years, 4 months ago)

allium @ #37982: nice and quite easy! love that it's all definitions and no stand-alone words. well done! (2 years, 4 months ago)

allium @ #54952: quite easy but i love a themed puzzle! have to admit i struggled a bit with some just because i'm not british haha. only complaint is i didn't love the animals group having both a pony and a horse in it, had me looking for more animals in the same family! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Arnoud @ #82: Too many possibilities. For instance I knew there had to be an Olympics connection, but since there are three more cities that were Olympic host cities, I never got the right group. Just clicking for minutes to find the right combination is no fun. Also since everything is cities, multiple valid connections will exist and weren't thought about. Rio, Kolkata, Lagos, Karachi are all major port cities, so why wasn't it accepted? (2 years, 4 months ago)

Loin El Richie @ #65539: Top quality grid. Except maybe a bit christmassy for this time of year. Then again, cards will be in the supermarket within weeks. (2 years, 4 months ago)

bryandjem @ #65546: The parameter space of correct answers is far too narrow. I entered "road", "river" and "author" -- all of which were labelled as incorrect. It would have been nice to see the confetti animation, but alas! We live to fight another day. Overall an enjoyable quiz none the less. Jem is crying but she just had some chocolate so all is good with the world. Lots of love xx (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #65557: Some clever red herrings, but Exeter is the historic county town/city of Devon, so it threw the whole grid out. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #65521: Nice idea, not too difficult if you spot the logic early like I did. I'm sure you could have added a couple of red herrings to spice it up a bit... (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #65520: Nice grid, couple of decent red herrings. @b, yes, ruby beer is a thing. One that I drink regularly, Wychwood's Hobgoblin, is actually branded as such in some markets (e.g. when I buy it at a French supermarket). (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #65491: @Ian, technically it's wrong as it is, cos the nato alphabet spells it Juliett, so switching with Romeo would make it a unique solution. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Freddgar @ #65503: Fairly easy, but a very good one. Had a chuckle at loose 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #65503: Too clever for me, well done. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #65502: Nice, but I thought the homophone group was a little unfair; they're all animals after all, which would still be a unique solution, (2 years, 4 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #65492: clever (2 years, 4 months ago)

Justforfun @ #65476: Nicely done Tilly! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Scowrer @ #65440: Hey Ace, synonyms was there as an acceptable answer, I won't bother pluralising in the future. Hey Logophile, the other acceptable answer was slang terms for a cannabis cigarette, I didn't include marijuana or ganga or pot because they're all slang terms as well, but simply typing slang would've got you the point, the system isn't perfect. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Jenni D @ #65445: Good fun! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Helen @ #65455: Sorry pal but I think it's poor too, especially the mean things to call a friend (I'd put synonym for daft). I realise it's not easy for either side to think what words to write, but this was particularly odd. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #65467: But a decent grid despite that, nothing too tricky but a couple of attempted red herrings. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #65467: @Logophile, yes, and it's even specifically mentioned in the answer set-up, the shorter your answer, e.g. without the 's', or without 'ies'/'y' the less effort to set up and the more options that are allowed. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Logophile @ #64836: Fun grid! But I missed one link because the game is known as Clue in the U.S. I think your link answer could easily be fixed to include that answer. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Logophile @ #65440: Clever red herrings! The link for spliff group should also accept marjuana, not just cannabis. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Logophile @ #65471: Boulder is misspelled. I think many of these are not general knowledge or good representatives of the class. (2 years, 4 months ago)

PT @ #65394: It's honestly so irritating that the guesses have to match the spelling or phrasing that was added by the creators. Really takes a lot of the enjoyment out of it to find that "flavors" is incorrect because of the American vs. British spelling. I know, give myself the points, passive aggressive message received. I simply wish there were a list of possible correct answers, rather than just the one phrase. (2 years, 4 months ago)

AeonMach @ #65410: Liked this! Not too hard (provided some reasonable general knowledge) but made you think! Spanish was good because it covered so many disparate things, and good wee misdirect with ships/states. And really liked it introducing Dupin which I didn’t know of so learnt something! From Wikipedia intro: “ Le Chevalier C. Auguste Dupin… is a fictional character created by Edgar Allan Poe. Dupin made his first appearance in Poe's 1841 short story "The Murders in the Rue Morgue", widely considered the first detective fiction story. … Poe created the Dupin character before the word detective had been coined. The character laid the groundwork for fictional detectives to come, including Sherlock Holmes, and established most of the common elements of the detective fiction genre.” Thx!

Hamburger @ #65335: @gridlington - While red meat products such as hot dogs, sausages, ham, bacon, and jerky are the most common types of processed meats, poultry can be processed as well. If you look at the label of even ‘oven roasted’ sliced turkey, you’re likely to see ingredients such as salt, sodium chloride, sodium phosphate, or potassium chloride. These are used to salt meats—meaning the turkey is processed. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Logophile @ #65148: Beverages is not accepted for soft drinks? Not exactly your fault, but there are far too many puzzles that use Formula 1 links, and that’s just not general knowledge, IMO. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Logophile @ #64957: A few of the clues are strangely worded or too specialized for a general audience.

Matt @ #65306: You don't think 'criminal' or 'killers' is an acceptable answer? Wouldn't say Fred and Rose are gangsters. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Arsm @ #54971: would love to c more of these (2 years, 4 months ago)

Joey Bobby @ #65182: Cleverly constructed. Well done. I entered "Chat Slang" for BTW, ATM, BRB, AFK and I got it wrong. Also answered "Rights Activists" for LBJ, FDR, RBG, MLK and got that wrong too! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Stefan @ #42675: This was my 2nd time trying it. I like the game ...a lot. Could be addictive. (2 years, 4 months ago)

gridlington @ #65158: Nice one! Like the planets red herring! (2 years, 4 months ago)

EDIE42 @ #46544: FIRST TIME DOING THESE, BUT IT'S FUN! (2 years, 4 months ago)

gridlington @ #65298: Oh, very good! Yes, I liked that a lot! And I didn't get the concept so didn't solve any of them! The pluralisation is explained in the answers - GROUPS which could contain a common clue. (2 years, 4 months ago)

gridlington @ #65268: Yep, good one thanks! (2 years, 4 months ago)

EDIE42 @ #35374: WHY IS TYPES OF CARS CORRECT WHILE BRANDS OF AUTOS NOT (2 years, 4 months ago)

Toferino @ #65296: Not too difficult, I got the connection between Twitter and Elon Musk, though he doesn't actually own Twitter. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Panther Grrl @ #21280: Excellent groups! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Panther Grrl @ #42675: Fun grid!! (2 years, 4 months ago)

anvil @ #65301: Yeah, repeated terms are a no-no. Even if you work out the link, you then still only have a *random* chance of getting it right. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Panther Grrl @ #48141: I like blues and whales. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Freddgar @ #65298: True, the pluralisation threw me completely Without that good grid Thanks for posting (2 years, 4 months ago)

nighttime @ #65303: Having only 4 of the terms without a capital letter makes it immediately obvious that they are a group ... (2 years, 4 months ago)

Freddgar @ #65300: Very good, liked the red herring Never heard of Arthur, so Googled it after the game You learn something new every day You win10-7 Thanks for posting (2 years, 4 months ago)

Val @ #48141: Fun! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Val @ #65106: My first grid. Good, but should accept pop star. But still very doable. Thanks! (2 years, 4 months ago)

IanB @ #65297: Clever, but once you've solved one of the pairs of four it's easy to solve the other just by grouping the remining missing prefix or suffix clues. (2 years, 4 months ago)

BJill @ #64854: SPOILER: I think my one response is correct—Super heroes. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #65298: Not bad, but I don't really see what the pluralisation does for it, TBH. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Drea @ #65256: Thank you, New York Times, for bringing this delightful puzzle to my attention today. This will be challenging as I am not a Brit, but “would I lie to you?“ Is my favorite show. (2 years, 4 months ago)

BJill @ #65106: Ted Baker threw off my reasoning, but I finally got there! (2 years, 4 months ago)

KingBob @ #55268: good game (2 years, 4 months ago)

KingBob @ #55268: great game. definitely recommend (2 years, 4 months ago)

Kitty @ #65294: Sorry but this puzzle is unworkable because at least a couple of the authors/scientists can be swapped - eg Charles Darwin, Stephen King, Alexander Pushkin, Albert Camus, etc. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Plod @ #65289: Thanks Freddgar (2 years, 4 months ago)

KingBob @ #55317: Thanks for the feedback!! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Freddgar @ #65289: Another good one, liked the theme You win 10/7, I fluffed the by.word line Thanks for posting (2 years, 4 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #65268: Really enjoyed this one despite being beaten by the Roosevelt group. I just couldn't think what that was. Nice range of connections. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Bard @ #51071: It accepts "leaf" but not "leaves". Amateur hour. Two stars. (2 years, 4 months ago)

mls @ #65270: What us Keepinggate? Google search doesn't yield any results. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Bard @ #28219: Q: "Did you type a connection that was correct but not get the points you deserved?" A: Yes, that is exactly what happened. You need to accept more answers for the mock/ridicule group. Can't give you higher than two stars. (2 years, 4 months ago)

steve @ #63758: same as george (2 years, 4 months ago)

nitpicker @ #65256: Good misdirection (2 years, 4 months ago)

George @ #65264: Fun. people are so picky (2 years, 4 months ago)

Freddgar @ #65264: Good one, nice change. Enjoyed the theme 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 4 months ago)

Susan Main @ #65270: Good grid, but shouldn't it be 'fantas', not 'fantis'? (2 years, 4 months ago)

IanB @ #65271: 'Minor' as in small but it's 'Miner' as in digging. (2 years, 4 months ago)

film buff @ #65263: Yes Wye Knott, I did ponder that one but decided it just squeaked in. Wondered if it would get picked up. "Technically" correct. ( ; ) (2 years, 4 months ago)

Timwi @ #64978: What is “Gandam”? Best I can think of is that you might have intended “Gangnam Style”? (2 years, 4 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #65264: Thanks, Trixie. Like the new take on missing words. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #65264: Alovely idea. I don't think it needed the capitals the dots or the initials It was also a quickone. You could make a more interesting puzzle by thinking of clues that could go into multiple groups (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #65264: Nice one. Couple of clues are missing the initials though. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Hamburger @ #65248: @Jonkheer - The grid has been altered since he/she made that comment. At the time it was correct. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Jonkheer @ #65248: @nitpicker Incredible that you not only didn't realise 'maleficent' was a totally different word to 'malignant,' but also can't seem to tell the difference between verbs and adjectives, and yet you 'corrected' the grid creator with such confidence (2 years, 4 months ago)

Richard Stallman @ #65237: Install gentoo (2 years, 4 months ago)

Bob @ #65257: It's spelled "centre". I was marked as incorrect for this. Good board apart from that (2 years, 4 months ago)

Freddgar @ #65175: Neatly done, liked the theme too 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #65256: Quite simple, I thought. Nothing wrong with that though. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Freddgar @ #65257: Good one, fluffed the call line You win by lots Thanks for posting (2 years, 4 months ago)

Botkin Hospital @ #65175: what's the point of the first word in these pairs and the full stop?? at least explain it in the clues maybe? (2 years, 4 months ago)

Geraint @ #65241: The first names ( Jeff Charlie Phil etc) were all presenters on sky soccer Saturday. That was my suggestion and I got it wrong. Jeff stelling (?) Phil Thompson Charlie Nicholas and Paul Merson (2 years, 4 months ago)

Freddgar @ #65255: Good grid nice spread. One nit pick though. Only one William was British, the rest were English. As were the rest in the group, two born in France. You win by lots Thanks for posting (2 years, 4 months ago)

Freddgar @ #65250: They're right y'know, it IS stupid. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Lily @ #46600: Good fun (2 years, 4 months ago)

SST @ #2324: Too narrow with wording for answers (2 years, 4 months ago)

Foggy Brume @ #50574: Did not care for this one since Madison and Charleston can be swapped and the sets still work (since both Madison and Charleston are dances and state capitals). (2 years, 4 months ago)

saul gooman @ #65217: puzzgridussy (2 years, 4 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #65198: Found this a hard grid but maybe it's because it's a Monday morning? So many crossovers. Thanks! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Justforfun @ #65197: Ace,Ben Ean used to be a popular cheap wine. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bina @ #65186: This grid doesn't have a unique solution. Eg Rose could be swapped with Daisy. (2 years, 5 months ago)

bryandjem @ #65185: @C: jem disagrees with bry about this. We have not yet reached a consensus but have to remain a united front on issues such as these. (2 years, 5 months ago)

b @ #65187: Jackie Stallone? New one on me. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Fly @ #65197: That was fun, some of them could use a bit more generosity in the categories and what you may enter into the box. Good grid though. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #65197: Nice one, but a couple of the homophones don't quite work - never heard Bean Ean or Fours pronounced that way. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Freddgar @ #65193: Excellent grid, I only got points after the reveal Had to laugh at Bad or Smelly You win 10/3 Thanks for posting (2 years, 5 months ago)

C @ #65185: Please allow 'laundry detergents' (2 years, 5 months ago)

Kitty @ #65186: Promising grid but quite a few of the words can be swapped, especially in the Sycamore and Pine categories. Good concept though. (2 years, 5 months ago)

b @ #65180: A tick is hardly an animal. And what's a sofer when it's at home? Disappointing, this one. (2 years, 5 months ago)

b @ #64815: I don't think you should mix the owl, a bird, in with the animals. 10/10 for me, but could be improved. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Joni @ #65163: In the words of Alan Ayckbourn “who are all these people?” (2 years, 5 months ago)

Hamburger @ #65177: Cool (2 years, 5 months ago)

Hamburger @ #65176: This is good. (2 years, 5 months ago)

EW @ #65106: Wish that it accepted "pop star" or "singer" but a fun easy grid regardless! (2 years, 5 months ago)

EW @ #65174: Love this style of puzzle! The "Clothes" and "Float" terms are not present in my dialect, which made things tricky. (2 years, 5 months ago)

anvil @ #65172: Doesn't Hock just mean debt. Or pawned.? (2 years, 5 months ago)

EW @ #65177: This was a fun one! Wish that more terms were accepted for some categories -- eg rain/storm (2 years, 5 months ago)

anvil @ #65176: Nice! Maybe add "apocalypse" to the horsemen answer... (2 years, 5 months ago)

anvil @ #64896: Good grid! a couple corrections; It's Melchior, not Melchoir. Comes *before* Cash, not after. I don't think you can do half points! 😳😄 (2 years, 5 months ago)

b @ #65173: Didn't see the hidden parts of a foot. Well done. (2 years, 5 months ago)

edpo @ #65144: Excellent! (2 years, 5 months ago)

b @ #64942: Quite easy, but they are not Types of Charles Dickens books, they are the last words of the titles of four of his books. (2 years, 5 months ago)

b @ #65092: Prime Minister group : that's all you need without the rest of the waffle. And although I got four groups, the film director thing is really a bit too niche, certainly lost on me. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #65113: Good grid, Athletic's fine - there's Alloa and Annan as well. Only gripe is the polo group is a mix of prefix and suffix (2 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #65146: Just what I needed (2 years, 5 months ago)

b @ #65094: OK (2 years, 5 months ago)

PeteC85 @ #65122: I don't often say this, but ignore Jesus. Great grid, though it should accept comedy shows for the relevant line. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #65135: Enjoyed this one. You got me on one of the groups - I went for the other answer, that you'd even predicted in your explanations! I'll pay more attention. Thanks. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #65114: Garbage (2 years, 5 months ago)

Lazarus @ #65130: Dear DannyRossy, Great grid, really enjoyed. I was distraught to see that Lux was put down as an SI unit, when it is an SI derived unit. Otherwise, great grid! Yours faithfully, Lazarus (2 years, 5 months ago)

DannyManny (revived) @ #65122: Well done DannyRossy. Smashed it (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ian @ #65113: Enjoyed this grid muchly. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Garth @ #65124: Great grid. Point to note, mind your compound plurals; it is secretaries-general, not secretary-generals. (2 years, 5 months ago)

b @ #64959: OK, but fairly easy if like me you quickly spot the . . .chester idea, which was a neat trick. (2 years, 5 months ago)

b @ #65000: "Types of author". No, they're simply authors, maybe, not that I know David Williams. As for types of Slime, how stupid is that?! (2 years, 5 months ago)

DH @ #65123: enjoyed thx (2 years, 5 months ago)

Plod @ #65112: Clever as usual ty (2 years, 5 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #65113: Great grid. Thanks :-) (2 years, 5 months ago)

J @ #65113: Good grid this. Disagree with other commenters that athletic is a stretch - Charlton, Wigan (both in the 92), Oldham (who were a premier league side!) immediately come to mind... If anything, "wanderers" is rarer! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Jesus @ #65014: The last 4 letters of composers category is enough to get a man crucified... I would know (2 years, 5 months ago)

Jesus @ #65122: This is the worst grid ever made. Please retire forever from existing in society (2 years, 5 months ago)

RMP @ #65121: This was good. I liked it. I liked it a lot. Thoroughly enjoyable. My only criticism would be the confusion with Plato’s. It’s actually Platonic Academy rather than Plato’s but I will overlook it this time I suppose. I look forward to more of these in the near future. Kindest regards, RMP (2 years, 5 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #65120: So much that is wrong with this. To avoid the group that is virtually impossible and stick to some facts - there are not 48 counties in the UK, there are 48 in England. Dreadful. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Dean M @ #65101: Good grid. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Dean M @ #65106: Good grid for beginners, would be better with more answers possible ie singer and fashion instead of designer (2 years, 5 months ago)

Dean M @ #65113: Good grid. Athletic is a bit of a stretch but nicely put together. Like the red herrings (2 years, 5 months ago)

RacheInPeak @ #65095: Nice! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Someone. @ #65113: It was very hard to answer this grid. The creator was very clever with it. (2 years, 5 months ago)

vcp @ #64528: australia is not a continent (2 years, 5 months ago)

b @ #65113: Pretty ordinary. Athletic is not a common football name. There's one in 92. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Kitty @ #65116: UoB's graduation ceremonies must be duller than ever this year... (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #65116: Too many unknown, and unexplained, clues. Even the ones that are explained don't really make for any realistic possibility of getting the answers. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #65115: Ridiculous. (2 years, 5 months ago)

anvil @ #65086: Blimey, that was bit niche! BTW, Baja isn't a country - I'm guessing you mean Baja California (2 years, 5 months ago)

Mr Tickle, UoB VC @ #65117: @DANNYROSSY, spot on my lad, have an ice cream. regards, ADAM (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #65114: It doesn't get any better no matter how many times you repost it. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Daphne @ #46560: Fun grid (2 years, 5 months ago)

edpo @ #65112: "Cargo pants, hot pants, nut... pants? Tony pants? OK sure why not." Needless to say I didn't get confetti on this one, still a fun grid though! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #65048: Did not know Capt. Square, thanks gridlington (2 years, 5 months ago)

RacheInPeak @ #65076: Cephalothoraces is spelled thus, unfortunately, not as you have it. (2 years, 5 months ago)

RMP @ #65101: Defeated me (even if I hadn't had a phone call in the middle!) But a nice structure and good fun. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Kitty @ #65105: Good try but some errors here... (2 years, 5 months ago)

RMP @ #65107: I 'm afraid the links here are chaotic. "Books" is not an author. "Chemistry" is not an acid. The fruits group does not accept fruits as the link. (2 years, 5 months ago)

RMP @ #65094: I agree that coward(ly) should be an acceptable link. (2 years, 5 months ago)

gridlington @ #65048: Wye Knott: Dad's Army possibles; Ptes. Godfrey, Fraser, Sponge, Walker & Pike. L/Cpl Jones, and Capt. Square! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Mr Tickle, UoB VC @ #65102: Fabulosa (2 years, 5 months ago)

b @ #64940: Super group answer given as -super should be super- and as others have said your circum group fits other answers too, but on the whole an OK grid. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ian @ #65094: Enjoyed this grid. Cowardly should be be accepted. People should check a thesaurus when creating a puzzle. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Kitty @ #65095: Fun TY! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #65101: Good effort. (2 years, 5 months ago)

nitpicker @ #65090: Hi Mom! Didn't get all the connections, but I liked it. Fun! (2 years, 5 months ago)

b @ #65004: I agree with Freddgar : you'd have done better with something other than Er Sunday (2 years, 5 months ago)

b @ #65019: There was a lot there I didn't know. I've never read Harry Potter and the Disney group meant nothing to me. But that doesn't make it a bad grid, so I gave you reasonable gradings (2 years, 5 months ago)

Paul @ #65066: Not sure pi is a math calculation, but otherwise good. (2 years, 5 months ago)

edpo @ #65092: Nice grid with some good red herrings. I feel like the connection for the Churchill group is a little too specific though. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Tyler @ #65094: Second one I completed! Great grid and not too difficult or pop culturey (2 years, 5 months ago)

Freddgar @ #65078: @RPM make your mind up what your username is. Is it the former RPM, or the latter NONC3 ? (2 years, 5 months ago)

Freddgar @ #65066: Good grid, got most of it. Didn't know the horsey thing. You win by loads. Thanks for posting (2 years, 5 months ago)

Tom @ #64959: Really enjoyed this one! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Kitty @ #65078: Is this a new way to make a grid: misspell words til they fit? Take a little more care and you might have something. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #65077: Lots of little annoyances here - spelling, for a start, use of the old name for Türkiye, ice not really belonging to that group, and almost anything can be a name, so it's not really a valid connection for that group. (2 years, 5 months ago)

RMP @ #65076: This wood have bean a FANTASTIC pussgrid if u speld the words correctly. Suggestion: use reel words. (2 years, 5 months ago)

ntrsRory @ #65070: Excellent. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Plod @ #65070: Well I liked it (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #65063: Something very wrong with Ae and Ze in the pronoun group; they're not even words in any language I recognise. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #65066: Nice one. @Wye Knott, I didn't know that clue either but got the group and the connection anyway from the other three. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #65067: Couple of your crackers are very dubious and your nugget group is just bizarre. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #65048: I could only see 6 options, hmmm. wd ty (2 years, 5 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #65050: Classically constructed and entirely fair. Well done! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #65066: Oooh Liz Taylor - most wont get that [neither did I] :-) (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #65070: Cunning! Nearly got me with the surface group, just a few seconds left. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Botkin Hospital @ #65054: This should at least be hard, not medium, to have so many specific pop culture references. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #65025: @Ben, yes me too. Perhaps it should be an allowable answer. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #65054: Clever. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ben @ #65025: I got the cream group but thought the connection was that you could add Y to the end. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ben @ #65027: Really enjoyed this. The loose theme between the four connections helped me get the last group. (2 years, 5 months ago)

ntrsRory @ #65002: Very nice. Simple catergories, but lots of crossovers. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Kitty @ #65005: It's the Corrs, not Coors (2 years, 5 months ago)

fi @ #65004: got the groups in under 30 seconds but i did not like the compass group at all. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Omegaman @ #64948: The Oliver Twist group doesn’t work. It is such a tenuous link I can’t imagine anyone guessing it. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Jen @ #22182: You spelled rhythm incorrectly but a good grid nonetheless (2 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #65014: Loved it, relatively simple with a really good twist at the end (if one did the g I'd my way). WD and TY (2 years, 5 months ago)

Freddgar @ #65004: Good grid, couple of nice red herrings Er Sunday gave the game away, good though 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 5 months ago)

zbj @ #65014: nice one! (2 years, 5 months ago)

A @ #64998: Decent but having the 'auto' group all in lowercase is a bit of a giveaway (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #64957: Couple of the bits are a bit contorted, a baseball cap surely has a peak, not a bill, and I've no idea even what FNAF is, let alone the 1987 reference. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Plod @ #65013: Wye Knott long memory (2 years, 5 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #65013: 2 times? - leaf it out. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #65009: 0/10. Too convoluted for me (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #65003: I don't like ;character names' in general, always going to be too niche for anyone not into xyz. And you should explain why Ricciardo is connected to the number (Yes, _I_ know). (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #65002: Very nice, (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #64975: Grrr, Pokemon links should be banned. (2 years, 5 months ago)

RMP @ #65009: Nice themes, most of which I missed. I think you mean "remove" not "reform" in one of the links (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ben @ #64984: LOVED the Dumb group. 10/10 (2 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7529: Can swap black and yellow. So it's not a grid (2 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #65002: Very simple! But well put together (2 years, 5 months ago)

Joni @ #64983: Finished with 17secs to spare. Fine grid. Thank you yet again LittleQuill (2 years, 5 months ago)

zbj @ #64989: nice one (2 years, 5 months ago)

DanieleManieleBaniele @ #64979: @RMP Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee. I have thee not, and yet I see thee still. Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible To feeling as to sight? or art thou but A dagger of the mind, a false creation, Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain? I see thee yet, in form as palpable As this which now I draw. Thou marshall'st me the way that I was going; And such an instrument I was to use. Mine eyes are made the fools o' the other senses, Or else worth all the rest; I see thee still, And on thy blade and dudgeon gouts of blood, Which was not so before. There's no such thing: It is the bloody business which informs Thus to mine eyes. Now o'er the one halfworld Nature seems dead, and wicked dreams abuse The curtain'd sleep; witchcraft celebrates Pale Hecate's offerings, and wither'd murder, Alarum'd by his sentinel, the wolf, Whose howl's his watch, thus with his stealthy pace. With Tarquin's ravishing strides, towards his design Moves like a ghost. Thou sure and firm-set earth, Hear not my steps, which way they walk, for fear Thy very stones prate of my whereabout, And take the present horror from the time, Which now suits with it. Whiles I threat, he lives: Words to the heat of deeds too cold breath gives. (2 years, 5 months ago)

zbj @ #64984: @DanieleManieleBaniele - thanks and nice spot - I've updated the answer bit cos though pixar is owned by disney I guess of the 4 it might not be considered a "disney" character as such - cheers! :) (2 years, 5 months ago)

RMP @ #64979: Very nice! (2 years, 5 months ago)

RMP @ #64985: Nice ideas but two typos: Rachel not Rachael and Surprise not Suprise (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #64977: Too much overlap, not just one unique solution. Manticore is in HP, several of the HP ones have also been used in logos (Unicorns and Phoenixes are quite commonly used as such) etc. (2 years, 5 months ago)

DanieleManieleBaniele @ #64984: Excellent grid zbj! I think Woody is technically Pixar, not Disney, but otherwise excellent! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Fred @ #64983: near impossible. Especially the third connection. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #64940: In also works for 'ference' group! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ian @ #64897: Enjoyed this grid. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ian @ #64958: Enjoyed this grid. Quibble with heir being a noun but the clue is a verb. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Chester @ #64958: Sorry Plod , every now and again, I get miffed (2 years, 5 months ago)

Chester @ #64958: Hi Plod - the comment from mal[content] .... what am I saying - ignore them, you know the grid works [on a fun level,[ and Her knows, it is meant to be fun] mal and the rest can......... (2 years, 5 months ago)

Plod @ #64958: @mal I realise not all are strictly homophones but it seems to be more generally accepted here, just as 'synonym' is frequently accepted whilst not always accurate either. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Plod @ #64958: Thanks Danielle! (2 years, 5 months ago)

mal @ #64958: Decent grid let down by the homophone round ( they're not homophones) . Change that and it'll be very good (2 years, 5 months ago)

A @ #64975: Nice grid, got all the groups but couldn't figure out the link for the spice girls one. (2 years, 5 months ago)

RainyDays @ #64940: "in-" also works for the vent group (2 years, 5 months ago)

RMP @ #64937: Rainforest not rainforst (2 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #64958: Fun one, took a little while to get the "of......" line ty (2 years, 5 months ago)

Lou @ #64940: The .......stance group can also be in...... (2 years, 5 months ago)

Vanessa @ #64949: It would be worth reconsidering both the acceptable field of words for answers and the final link, which is a somewhat tenuous gathering of ideas and events in 'Oliver Twist'. 19th century is the 1800s. Please also capitalise where appropriate and check spelling. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Mihai Tudosa @ #61118: Nu imi place jocu asta (2 years, 5 months ago)

Mr&Mrs Smith @ #64940: Again, fantastic grid. @RMP, give this one a go bro (2 years, 5 months ago)

H @ #64940: Nice grid. "Con-" also works for the "Vent" group. (2 years, 5 months ago)

DannyManny (revived) @ #64939: @RMP GET ON IT @RMP (2 years, 5 months ago)

Steve @ #64939: Elvis, Jimmy Saville, RMP, Michael Jackson. What links them? (2 years, 5 months ago)

Steve @ #64936: Mountain gorilla in Amazon rainforest? (2 years, 5 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #64936: This grid does not work. 3 animals are down twice. If you pick the wrong Capybara then the connection does not register. Also, the two associated groups are very weak. I suspect the wrong version has been uploaded as it is so bad. (2 years, 5 months ago)

DannyManny (revived) @ #64922: Hi mate, I'm back. (2 years, 5 months ago)

J @ #64922: "The NATO Phonetic Alphabet: Note that “Alpha” is written as “Alfa” and “Juliet” is written as “Juliett”, which are the spellings still in use in the international version of the alphabet, to avoid possible critical mispronunciations by speakers of other languages." So Juliett is the correct spelling in this context (2 years, 5 months ago)

RMP @ #64922: Nice crossovers, enjoyed that. That's not how you spell Juliet. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Tom @ #64922: Fun one. A bump is a dose of cocaine though, you would buy from a cocaine dealer - not a bump dealer :) (2 years, 5 months ago)

Kitty @ #64933: The clue should be 'Thirl' - there is no 's' in that name. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Hypatia @ #64922: It's "Dahl" not "Dhal" (2 years, 5 months ago)

Hamburger @ #64922: @stjohn - It appears slow on my end too. (2 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #64922: As far as I know - [using the usual channels] it is "tt" (2 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #64922: General - Is this site running really slow or is it just me? (2 years, 5 months ago)

mal @ #64922: Bit different, nice crossovers. Juliet only has one 't' though (2 years, 5 months ago)

Kitty @ #64927: Good one - ty! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #64915: One group too easy due to four uncapitalised clues. Typo in Hlghts, presumed Heights. And answers don't accept singular doctor, fear etc. (2 years, 5 months ago)

John @ #64913: very good (2 years, 5 months ago)

nitpicker @ #64897: Liked the misdirections (2 years, 5 months ago)

Hamburger @ #64893: Good grid, a little hard or maybe I just need to brush up on my history. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Stephen @ #64897: Nice. Works smoothly, with some nice red herrings in the NATO alphabet. I think "Juliet" is the usual spelling for the NATO alphabet letter. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Milo @ #64909: This one is practically insane (2 years, 5 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #64897: Nice one... 👍 (2 years, 5 months ago)

Plod @ #64893: stjohn, leaving out punctuation, capitals etc (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #64897: Wonderful puzzle, I loved how the categories were easy to figure out but there were so many red herrings you really had to think about which items were exclusive to a category. 10/10. (2 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #64896: twice for pat now, and you blind sided me with bocelli. Travelled all the way with those so I won't be petty about not getting confetti. TY (2 years, 5 months ago)

Plod @ #64893: *Quite easy when the penny drops. (2 years, 5 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #64889: Tough one, thank you! Shouldn't it be "Willy's" and not "Wily's" - that caught me out? (2 years, 5 months ago)

Paul @ #64884: Thank You!!!! Oh how I miss the "things you can ..." groups! (2 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #64881: *blind (2 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #64881: I got 1, again just one not points, and that was the shortest and still a 50/50. I have a line spot with this format. LOL (2 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #64882: Kneesy, like that Pat (2 years, 5 months ago)

Hypatia @ #64877: Should take "leader" - and the name one is a weird link, since Albert and Alex are totally distinct names and not all of them go by "Al" (2 years, 5 months ago)

Lucy @ #64885: Brilliant (2 years, 5 months ago)

Gamnara @ #64821: Hm, just double checked and I *did* remember to put it on there. I don’t know why it didn’t show up as correct for you. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Freddgar @ #64886: Joe, crumbs haven't heard his name for decades. Certainly put me "In the Mood" 10s all round Thanks for posting @ Plod, nope there's loads of us Crumblies still alive and kicking who used to listen to him on the wireless (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bina @ #29830: I'm not sure this has unique solutions as "Pet" (Pet Cat and Pet Shop) and "Top" (Top Cat and Top Shop) could be swapped over. (2 years, 5 months ago)

fi @ #64886: what a stinker!! i knew some of the links, just couldn't find the groups. also got my mind stuck on joe being a usa term for coffee, have heard of joe loss & his orchestra. (2 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #64886: Must confess you came to mind at that point :-) (2 years, 5 months ago)

DH @ #64834: quality grid (2 years, 5 months ago)

mls @ #64838: Great job. I'd rate it hard. I got the references pretty quickly, but the game and tv show were part of my childhood. The Jackie one threw me, but I got a laugh when it clicked. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Kitty @ #64852: Good try but not workable as a grid as most of these are interchangable - many of the terms could be assigned to 2 or even 3 of your categories. (2 years, 5 months ago)

edpo @ #64831: Clever idea! (2 years, 5 months ago)

walsh06 @ #64831: The footballer group should probably accept English strikers as well (2 years, 5 months ago)

Daphne @ #51916: Fun grid. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Paul @ #64828: I also put Rugby. Agree that given the other groups, the pokemon connection is unnecessary, and many other links (eg red and white on flags). Also Puerto Rico is not a country. (2 years, 5 months ago)

scowrer @ #64836: Haven't made one of these in ages, said I'd make an easy little fella to shake off the cobwebs. Hope people enjoy. (2 years, 5 months ago)

fi @ #64831: took me a while to figure out what was going on, had to leave astronaut group to do dr who. good grid, yayy streamers. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ian @ #53170: Enjoyed this grid. Getting your style now. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ian @ #55166: Much easier than your others, ive tried. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ian @ #64830: Enjoyed this grid. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Barry Scott @ #64719: Fantastic grid! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Sodjim @ #64830: Great fun grid, thanks (2 years, 5 months ago)

Michael.Hutchinson @ #64828: France group is too generic for reason imo. I put rugby but could be loads connecting them really. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Kitty @ #64829: Loved it, thank you : ) (2 years, 5 months ago)

Hal Jam @ #64821: Excellent grid. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Paul @ #64811: Took me forever to separate the last two groups. For some reason, Air Line just didn't sound like a thing. Nice choices of words in each group. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Paul @ #64822: Can't believe I could only find 1 group. Very well done! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Paul @ #64826: Very nice! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Paul @ #64827: The idea is that grids are hard because of red herrings and non-obvious links, not just picking obscure groups in a form that makes the words meaningless. (2 years, 5 months ago)

nighttime @ #59351: I liked the red herring butcher baker etc (2 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #64822: Thank goodness I was wrong with the chicken line - I put chocolate lol. :-) 7/10 TY (2 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #64818: "Kneasy" confetti TY (2 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #64817: sneaky and tricky and fun. 4 for me TY (2 years, 5 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #64808: Very good. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Sredni @ #64815: Lovely stuff. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ian @ #64325: My first pic grid. Thank you (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ghosty @ #64556: wonderful :) (2 years, 5 months ago)

Trixie @ #64816: Well I liked it (2 years, 5 months ago)

Theo @ #64557: This was fun! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Theo @ #64811: Go planet! Really enjoyed this one. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ghosty @ #64811: Wonderful, in retrospective, it was quite elementary. ;) (2 years, 5 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64813: Good grid TY :-) (2 years, 5 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64816: "luck" does not sound like "look" in any dialect I know! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64815: Fun. TY :-) (2 years, 5 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64807: Fun, easy grid. TY :-) (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ham @ #64811: #64534 (2 years, 5 months ago)

Dan Egan @ #64199: was able to separate without knowing anything but publishers row... (2 years, 5 months ago)

DH @ #64807: awesome (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bliss @ #64807: Nice, very nice TY (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bliss @ #64805: @ Vicky and David, I have amended as suggested. @ David, I thought of that but deliberately decided to throw a slight curve ball into the quiz. Thanks for playing and your constructive feedback (2 years, 5 months ago)

misof @ #63903: Easy to solve but a bit meh writing. In the metal group three of them contain the metal also semantically, one (tinder) doesn't. Isn't ambiguous, just doesn't feel nice. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Omegaman @ #64813: They are types of snake singular and if you use the singular form the plural will also be correct. Otherwise a good grid thanks. (2 years, 5 months ago)

mal @ #64807: Fairly easy but fun, decent cross overs. Nicely done (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ian @ #64807: Enjoyed this grid. (2 years, 5 months ago)

David @ #64805: Agree with Vicky, good as it had a theme for three rows maybe make the fourth similar. (2 years, 5 months ago)

RBR45 @ #64799: good simple grid (2 years, 5 months ago)

Anastase @ #64808: Nice grid. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Gridlington @ #64807: Some good crossovers! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Kitty @ #64799: Good grid, ty. Do think 'speak' should have been an option to answer the 'utter' row. (2 years, 5 months ago)

nighttime @ #60303: and kittens is a kindle :) (2 years, 5 months ago)

nighttime @ #60303: Fun grid, but a litter is the young of any mammal. It is a clutter of cats, also a cluster. (2 years, 5 months ago)

jesse davidson @ #64789: good aussie quiz (2 years, 5 months ago)

Vicky @ #64805: I think it would be fair if the purple row accepted 'Transportation' as an answer (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ragman @ #64797: If you are putting your grid up with the Union Jack then there is no word 'gray'.... (2 years, 5 months ago)

Daphne @ #64730: Nice (2 years, 5 months ago)

b @ #59350: Just to leave off a letter from some fairly obvious words is simply lazy and unimaginative, which spoilt a reasonable grid (2 years, 5 months ago)

b @ #64793: Very good (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #64761: Homophones as a group work best if there's a connection between the alternative words. On its own it's a bit weak. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bliss @ #64756: No error, Scrofula [the disease] was once called the King's Evil. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Daz @ #64799: good one! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #64756: Seems to be an error, Evil in grid, disease in answer. Neither of them seems to fit, though. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64797: Different - esp your V line. Good grid TY :-) (2 years, 5 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #64719: I think that 'girl' should be removed from the description of one group. Perhaps say nothing or 'containing only women' instead. If you say 'girl', that's fine but it is then specific enough to only apply to only one of the four clues. (The others are hip-hop, rock and vocal.) (2 years, 5 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64799: Good grid TY :-) (2 years, 5 months ago)

Anastase @ #64786: Nice grid. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bliss @ #64792: Counsel - council what gives a damn. What I got was a smile and a genuine outloud chuckle. Thanks🙂 (2 years, 5 months ago)

Jonkheer @ #64751: Fun, and made me giggle to myself when I was solving by trial and error – e.g. "Leave me alone, Im girl" (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bliss @ #64789: Very good, had me bamboozled. Me - "chicken....". straight over my head. TY (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bliss @ #64799: Should have got confetti, especially when I had used the punch connection recently myself. Enjoyed, thank you (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ryan J Murphy @ #64791: I've never even heard of Led Zeppelin 10/10 (2 years, 5 months ago)

Joanne @ #64791: 10/10. I like it! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Freddgar @ #64792: Good grid, I fell in to the Red trap, clever You win 7-10 Thanks for posting (2 years, 5 months ago)

Paul @ #64793: Nice one! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Paul @ #64791: Add an S, Add an S, Add an S, Add an I. That's just not cricket. (2 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #64793: nice and easy or as I will call it - kneesy! confetti (2 years, 5 months ago)

Anastase @ #64791: Nice grid. (2 years, 5 months ago)

RMP @ #64792: Nice grid, but it is Queen's Counsel not Queens Council (2 years, 5 months ago)

Tom @ #64719: Enjoyed this one! :) (2 years, 5 months ago)

b @ #59527: Never seen Derry girls, but I got the grid right. Pretty easy in that respect (2 years, 5 months ago)

Dysgwr @ #64791: Lovely, thanks. (2 years, 5 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #64789: Wow - got nowhere with this but at least I know what chicken salt it now! Thanks, Hamburger (2 years, 5 months ago)

PeteC85 @ #64791: That was hard, but great. Really threw me for ages, but got there. (2 years, 5 months ago)

max_shelton93 @ #64791: Lovely - very enjoyable. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Garth @ #64791: Excellent grid. Thanks. (2 years, 5 months ago)

James Rawson @ #64791: Lovely stuff as always (2 years, 5 months ago)

RMP @ #64767: This has been miscoded as being in English. The grid and links are also in (I think) Norwegian. I don't mind being tested on other cultures, but please put the links in English. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ian @ #64786: Enjoyed this grid. Sea going was the easiest group to spot. Not sure about hats being strong enough. (2 years, 5 months ago)

orchard91 @ #64786: Thanks for the comments. On reflection, you're right, the marooning was really more notable in that case. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Hamburger @ #64786: I was on the right path with a few but couldn't solve it in time. Nice grid, cheers. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Sredni @ #64776: Cleverly constructed. A classic. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Sredni @ #64791: Perfectly formed. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Hamburger @ #64791: I like the mother line. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Hamburger @ #64719: This is good. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Jay @ #64771: My trivia is not so good, so I liked it (2 years, 5 months ago)

jesss @ #41311: Tom Cruise was a bit vague compared to the rest perhaps? otherwise absolutely fab !! (2 years, 5 months ago)

jesss @ #32895: very well thought out, much enjoyed :)) (2 years, 5 months ago)

Pato @ #64786: I liked this, though to be picky one of them was famed for not seafaring but being marrooned? (2 years, 5 months ago)

b @ #60164: Cornel West, Jerry West? Due can go with any group, so you could swap Due and Korea, which isn't what's supposed to happen. (2 years, 5 months ago)

b @ #64749: OK, though I can understand some purists would say there's a little flexibility in some answers where there should not be. West Germany, East Ham; South Pole, North Africa (2 years, 5 months ago)

Gridlington @ #64770: Quite tricky. Also the Cook one looks to be a zero not a letter O (2 years, 5 months ago)

DH @ #64766: great grid cheers (2 years, 5 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #64476: Nice (2 years, 5 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #64759: Nice one (2 years, 5 months ago)

Firestarter @ #64759: Fun (2 years, 5 months ago)

RBR45 @ #64750: good grid - (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bliss @ #64750: Easy k e, nice links. TY (2 years, 5 months ago)

RMP @ #64755: This has been wrongly coded as being in English. It, and all the answers, is entirely in French. The two negative rows are more or less interchangeable. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Swordfish7 @ #64719: Great grid. Top marks. Do some more please. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Swordfish7 @ #64749: It does not have a unique solution which they should. Crossovers are required but it can't have several solutions. Germany and Ham for example could be swapped and it makes a correct solution - this should not happen (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bliss @ #64749: With 'paw' I felt the urge to write 'sarf'. Got the confetti though. TY (2 years, 5 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #64721: @ Jonny - I agree, I'd switch one of them out for Dominica or Samoa. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Trixie @ #64749: Yes Paul, some crossovers needed, don't want it to be too easy. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Paul @ #64749: Seems like some of the N-S and E-W ones could be swapped. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Paul @ #64751: Great! (2 years, 5 months ago)

RMP @ #64749: Cleverly made - took me longer than it should have because so many crossovers. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #64707: These are 'Council areas' not 'Regions'. Except 'Ross' is not a council area, 'Ross and Cromarty' is on that list. (2 years, 5 months ago)

film buff @ #64731: Tak (2 years, 5 months ago)

PJ @ #64730: This is even more difficult if you know that "barry" mean horizontal stripes. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bliss @ #64745: Happy with 6/10. Ty (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #64720: Far too specialist to be of general interest. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bliss @ #64732: A cryptic workout (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #64719: I loved how you had a red herring for the fruit-based clue but, to compensate, put some very obvious clues for that category. A lot of the times the "part of word" clues are super sneaky, so I appreciate making this one a bit more visible. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Jonny @ #64721: Good grid although the ‘countries beginning with men’s names’ group could also be ‘African countries’. (2 years, 5 months ago)

film buff @ #64727: @Bliss, I always appreciate a fellow buff! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bliss @ #64727: I should have got the couples group [but dodn't]. I also liked the Get Shorty line. Think I would have used "Wonderful Life" 1964. TY (2 years, 5 months ago)

Fred @ #64715: Sorry but that was dreadful! (2 years, 5 months ago)

malcolm @ #64709: Not a fan of the s or no s categories - could you not get them all the same? missed a great opportunity not having a Ringo category (not sure how feasible that would be, but it would be cool) (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bliss @ #64711: Thank you (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bearcules @ #64707: Really enjoyable - challenging yet was able to work it out eventually. Good work! (2 years, 5 months ago)

parkey @ #64686: Whats a man bag? (2 years, 5 months ago)

Mick @ #64700: Focus not focas (2 years, 5 months ago)

Krista Lonsdale @ #64640: Chump change = small change = bad pay b..Goggle it! Movements!! 🤣 (2 years, 5 months ago)

Krista Lonsdale @ #64644: Took me a while to get the set name for the last on not being a bond fan,but I did see in time. NiceTY (2 years, 5 months ago)

Krista Lonsdale @ #64648: Nice simple theme that doesn`t rely on me being an enthusiast in some field. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Krista Lonsdale @ #64696: Enjoyed. Normal stuff. I didn`t have to be a film buff or a scientist, a tradesman,a manga enthusiast or even speak another language! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Aidan @ #64648: Wow ! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #64678: And (S)trait could also go into the Land group, Cloud into the Ocean group. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64682: Great grid. Thanks :-) (2 years, 5 months ago)

John @ #64686: Old School, Old Man, Old Hand, Old Bum (a 1951 film) also works but the original answer clearly better (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bearcules @ #64682: Really enjoyed this. Straightforward and fun, thanks (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ian @ #64682: Enjoyed this grid. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ian @ #64683: (2 years, 5 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #64678: Is the Cloud result a real thing? It it is then Cloud and Land can be swapped. If not, then the clue does not work. (And, HalJam, just saying 'Not unique' is not all that helpful.) (2 years, 5 months ago)

Hypatia @ #64668: Should take "animal" (2 years, 5 months ago)

Kitty @ #64670: Yes, 'black' doesn't work once formatted into the actual grid. (2 years, 5 months ago)

count snackula @ #64648: nice (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #64668: Nice grid! Just a word of caution, the flying category could also just be classified as "animals" so might be good to have one item in there that is not an animal that can be preceded with flying just to ensure there's not two possible connections! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ian @ #64673: Not very scientific. (2 years, 5 months ago)

H @ #64670: Shouldn't "black" be "white" (or have I misunderstood)? (2 years, 5 months ago)

David @ #64644: A good one with a nice (obvious) red herring link. (2 years, 5 months ago)

May @ #64662: @Ace, how is Canute a dog? Gnosticism is a religion. Just as Buddism is. Both are spiritual experiences without a deity. As someone who works 2 days a week as a volunteer, I rather resent not being regarded as a worker by you. Some people like to fault find. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #64662: Sorry, didn't mean to sound so harsh. Good effort anyway. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #64662: Really should allow dog, no need to be so specific. Volunteer is none of the 4 words listed, and gnostic isn't really a religion. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #64661: You've misspelled beaK in your answers. TBH that link was a bit contorted anyway. (2 years, 5 months ago)

b @ #64599: The blackcurrants we picked tonight are fresh, not dried. Fairly straightforward grid; just needs your group answers tidying up. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #64660: Seeing your posting name (thanks for that at least) I clicked this and left it alone for 3 minutes just to see the answers. Not a single one makes any sense to me. (2 years, 5 months ago)

d @ #64617: Same for me Fi. Could see the categories but there were too many obscure (to me) answers for me to be able to get any of the groups. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Mark Norman @ #64658: You need to add a word, phrase, or set of words that you'll accept as an answer. Xeon, Pentium etc. are all processors - so your the accepted answer(s) might be 'processors' or 'data processors' or 'computer processors'. The answers you've given for each category are not answers the average person will give you - which makes grids like yours very frustrating to play. (2 years, 5 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #64534: Neat concept 👍 (2 years, 5 months ago)

d @ #64633: Thanks for the grid. Got three categories within 20 seconds but came unstuck identifying the link for the final group - never heard of knuckleball or tetherball (I know it as swingball) (2 years, 5 months ago)

bert @ #17773: idaho wasnt a womble (2 years, 5 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #64633: Nice one... (2 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #64648: absolute nice quickie (2 years, 5 months ago)

film buff @ #64649: I love Random Harvest, to me it has the same feel as Waterloo Bridge (another fave). Freaks is quite disturbing! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Movie Buff @ #64649: So just 4/10 for me (2 years, 5 months ago)

Movie Buff @ #64649: Random Harvest - a go to movie for me, so that line was easy[ish]. NK not a massive fan, so no idea on that line. Freaks is also a must watch movie, so that line was the easiest. Then the face palm doh! moment for the Chariots line. Smashing as always. TY (2 years, 5 months ago)

b @ #64634: George Clinton? Who he? And I'm not really into vacuum cleaners. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64608: I enjoyed this very much. TY :-) (2 years, 5 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64645: Fun, easy grid, TY. Please check your spelling. BTW, the Aussie answers are states, not territories (2 years, 5 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64607: Thanks - and I learnt about dogecoin. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64644: Very enjoyable grid and I liked the card suits red herring theme. TY :-) (2 years, 5 months ago)

Chester @ #64513: I like the way you think (2 years, 5 months ago)

Freddgar @ #64633: @b same as Swingball (2 years, 5 months ago)

me @ #29738: Grid ok, answers range poor (eg magic acts not taken) (2 years, 5 months ago)

b @ #63370: Lazy is an adjective, the rest are nouns. And I've never bothered with Star Wars, where you'd got a pretty poor line-up, so I don't think much of this one. (2 years, 5 months ago)

fi @ #64595: y blinders was a bit of a giveaway but play station buttons?! like ace i said shapes. gulliver....this game is based on only connect round 3, the wall. (2 years, 5 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #64615: Good grid. Well done! (2 years, 5 months ago)

b @ #64631: Reasonably straighforward (2 years, 5 months ago)

Trillium @ #64614: Well, I loved it. I like challenging and different angles like this. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Gridlington @ #64631: Easy but fun! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Trillium @ #64631: i.fetti (2 years, 5 months ago)

Chester @ #64608: good (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #64632: Nice, but your 'ort' connection is superfluous, as they're all simply rhymes anyway, so nobody's going to look for a more complicated ink as well. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #64615: I also enjoyed this grid. It felt challenging, but not too challenging. Most of the categories were unique too. Nicely done! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Plod @ #64630: I should have too! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Chester @ #64631: neat (2 years, 5 months ago)

Blondie @ #64632: Well I liked it (2 years, 5 months ago)

b @ #63870: Fairly straightforward (2 years, 5 months ago)

Moi Aussi @ #64630: Fabbo! I got 4/10 but it put a smile on my face ty. [P.S. I went for Johnathon not Taylor] (2 years, 5 months ago)

Paul @ #64630: Nice. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Moi Aussi @ #64614: To quote B*Witched "C'est La Vie" (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ian @ #64617: Enjoyed this grid. Rowley Mile? (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ian @ #64615: Enjoyed this grid. (2 years, 5 months ago)

moi @ #64614: Liked this but I think different or challenging is not in favour atm. (2 years, 5 months ago)

fred @ #57254: places where you live should be an acceptable answer (2 years, 5 months ago)

Jesus @ #64513: See you at the pearly gates (2 years, 5 months ago)

blondie @ #58704: slightly inappropriate (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #64614: No, I liked it, not seen that idea before. _slightly_ means just a tiny bit in this case (2 years, 5 months ago)

fi @ #64611: how is anyone supposed to know when fuji last erupted? and paris metro stations!? needless to say, i did not enjoy this one. (2 years, 5 months ago)

fi @ #64617: i knew what the groups were, i just couldnt find the ones to go in. i think there might be some usa refs here. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #64614: It was an idea,I ran with it, maybe it needed refinement. Never mind, I will try something else. Thanks for the feedback (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64614: Nice idea, only slightly let down by a couple of inconsistencies. Once I'd got the idea I was looking for the first part to be the whole answer, two of them were the the other way round which threw me. (2 years, 6 months ago)

b @ #64595: I've never seen a Sony wotsit but got that group, so your answer is unnecessarily complex. Also I got the rail group although I live 200 miles from London and know little about the Tube map, so that too is unreasonable for people outside the capital. (2 years, 6 months ago)

b @ #64613: Fairly straightforward (2 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #64607: Nice one, liked the theme. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64608: That was quick! (Please add the word eight to the answers as well). (2 years, 6 months ago)

Shane @ #64581: Your audience is wider than you think. Poor. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64557: Excellent! Done with 15 seconds to spare. Really tested my brain cells. Thanks. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64560: Great grid. Thanks! And now I can add pickelhaube to my vocab :-) (2 years, 6 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64599: I enjoyed this easy grid. TY :-) Strictly speaking, apricots and dates can be fresh or dried. Thanks for allowing "fruit" as an answer. Other dried fruit (if you'd like to swap them out) craisins (dried cranberries) and sultanas. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64601: Good grid. Challenging! I ran out of time. TY (2 years, 6 months ago)

Krista Lonsdale @ #64553: NO WAY!😂 (2 years, 6 months ago)

Scrogger @ #64589: Very, very niche. No idea, pesonally. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Krista Lonsdale @ #64561: Only Americans call cushions pillows and only in the US do they both have covers! In UK Cushions go on sofas only, are square and have covers (Cushion covers). Pillows go on beds only, are rectangular and have cases.(Pillow cases) .Semantics are a pain! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Krista Lonsdale @ #64599: OOps! Innaccurate. Apricots are NOT neccessarily dried-they are called Apricots when fresh or dried. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Lin @ #64595: Shapes and game show hosts not accepted :( (2 years, 6 months ago)

Kitty @ #64591: Easy if you know them! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Sredni @ #64597: Clever idea and very well executed. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Trillium @ #64513: Confetti, and a fun one! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Scrogger @ #64528: Yeah John.... get a life! It's described as an "easy" grid. So don't complain that it's easy! (2 years, 6 months ago)

A @ #64581: Cube & skyscraper groups were easy, then I somehow managed to fluke the last 2 as I thought the movie group was things that can store water: CAMELot, JUGgernaut, cromWELL - couldn't see a fourth so I took a stab at gladiator and solved it And to the other commenters: I've never seen or heard of GLOW either but there's this incredible thing we have now called GOOGLE, try it out you'd be amazed what you can learn! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64595: Nice one, but the buttons are also all geometric shapes, for the non-gamers amongst us. (2 years, 6 months ago)

count snackula @ #64581: Not a scoobie what GLOW is (2 years, 6 months ago)

Dave @ #64589: Oof! A bit specialist for me. I'm sure one more cultured might have stood a chance. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64589: To quote from an earlier comment - Obscurity does not equal a good grid. How many people are really going to be familiar to that level with the novels concerned? I mean, I know of them, even read one of them once a long time ago, but this is more of a 'special interest' grid really only suitable for scholars in the subject, (2 years, 6 months ago)

troemyd @ #64584: (2 years, 6 months ago)

Paul @ #64580: Obscurity does not equal a good grid. - eg characters from a film that are so minor 3 of them aren't even listed on the wikipedia page. The Winter semester group is nonsense. (2 years, 6 months ago)

RMP @ #64581: I don't even understand the answer to the "Britannica" row. Is it a film? A book? A TV or radio series? (2 years, 6 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #64581: Good grid- might have got it if I knew what Glow was! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Justforfun @ #64584: Just a weekly chuckle (2 years, 6 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #64552: Nice one! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Plod @ #64563: Wye Knott, greys are the type of alien they purport to have captured at the Roswell incident - so named for their skin colour. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Plod @ #64571: Loved the champagne group (2 years, 6 months ago)

Jet Jaguar @ #57446: Never heard of "Tipperary" before (2 years, 6 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #64560: So sorry, my bad, my poor eyesight, I had nat instead of matt. (2 years, 6 months ago)

werdna @ #64560: Good fun, but 'Matt' should be right! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #64560: None of the people are called “Matts”, they are all called “Matt” singular and I thought hats should be enough for the headwear. (2 years, 6 months ago)

stjohn @ #64571: @freddgar - lol (2 years, 6 months ago)

Lin @ #64191: Please allow vehicles :) (2 years, 6 months ago)

Dave @ #64552: Deceptively challenging! I spotted the connections but ran out of time. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Dave @ #64560: Enjoyed, ta. For some reason my "Matt" wasn't accepted (2 years, 6 months ago)

colabear @ #38894: virtually impossible nonsense - love it (2 years, 6 months ago)

DriveBetter @ #64518: ‘Dice roll’? Bit clunky. Also: ‘prefixed’, not ‘prefaced’. ‘Harass’ could be accepted (for ‘hound’ especially). Thank you. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Julia Hird-Evans @ #34789: Cool. Most quite easy. I'd never heard of Captain Haddock and Captain Planet though! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Julia Hird-Evans @ #17624: cool. Very easy. Sometimes you need something easy and relaxing! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Julia Hird-Evans @ #48309: If this was created for younger children, then it's quite nice. Too easy for an adult! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Julia Hird-Evans @ #64528: Nice. Quite easy to crack, but you need some easy ones for the beginners to learn this. Well done (2 years, 6 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #64557: Love this puzzle a lot. You know it's good when I'm hunched over my desk reading the clues out loud over and over like a maniac. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Trixie fan @ #64528: It might be simple but it's a good confidence boost, thanks for posting, John: get a life (2 years, 6 months ago)

fi @ #64551: got fixed on bambi so took awhile, also wasnt sue of some spellings. great satisfaction when i saw the 10 point confetti! (2 years, 6 months ago)

b @ #64534: 10/10. Really straightforward, but a nice idea, and nothing anybody can complain about, which takes a bit of doing on here! Well done. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Anisa @ #64513: 10/10! Fabulous grid (2 years, 6 months ago)

DriveBetter @ #64526: *pedant alert* : Viking helmets didn’t have horns. Thank you for making this though. (2 years, 6 months ago)

mattstak @ #64561: Reupload of 64555, because I accidentally marked it as UK instead of US. (2 years, 6 months ago)

mattstak @ #64475: My mistake, I've updated the grid. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Jet Jaguar @ #64475: "Air" is not a Pokémon type; "Flying" is. Otherwise, this was a great puzzle! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Lin @ #64488: Please accept repeated (2 years, 6 months ago)

zbj @ #64545: good one! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64537: Nice grid, but the answer descriptions contain the connections for the other groups, where you mention the red herring. Spoils the fun a bit. (2 years, 6 months ago)

RMP @ #64537: That's not how you spell Volkswagen (2 years, 6 months ago)

RMP @ #64534: kicking myself! Very nice. (2 years, 6 months ago)

count snackula @ #64534: nice themed grid (2 years, 6 months ago)

b @ #64513: Different, but 10/10, so different is good. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Fish @ #64525: Fun challenge, it didn't help that I had Uncle Bulgaria as the smartest womble! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Fish @ #64526: Really enjoyed this one. Inventive categories. The 'horns' one was the best, but each idea was original and challenging (2 years, 6 months ago)

Fish @ #64529: It Lan got me too. But this was a fun twist, very original. And it was gettable despite the high-brow subjects, which is a perfect balance imho (2 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #64529: Couldn't work out who ITLAN was... oh well (2 years, 6 months ago)

Gary @ #64518: Utter nonsense (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64528: A bit too simple , I feel. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Sredni @ #64526: Loved this. Something a bit different. Very good fun. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64527: You presumably meant ambivilous? Doesn't really work with your definition, nothing to do with hands per se. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64526: One good group, the others... Viking Helmets didn't have horns, the concept of celebrity hairdressers is laughable and incredibly niche and the letters one is just too simplistic. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #64506: Only one e in pale nanny, so it's not an anagram of Penny Lane (2 years, 6 months ago)

mal @ #64513: took me a minute and half, nice grid, let down by one proper noun. Change that and it'd be very good (2 years, 6 months ago)

RBR45 @ #64520: nice grid 10/10 (2 years, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #64519: Nice. Best for some time in fact, though confetti with a minute left means maybe it was a bit too easy? (2 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #64517: Fun to do, solved the wall. As for the Flipper line, as VCM says "If you don't know...guess". 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 6 months ago)

nitpicker @ #64396: It stumped me, but it was fair and fun. I would not have guessed this was a first try - very well done. (2 years, 6 months ago)

nitpicker @ #64513: LIked it (2 years, 6 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #64520: Yeah,nice. Very clever. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #64517: Fun and straightforward. Thanks. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #64509: Enjoyed this one. Spikethecat may not have noticed the red herrings but I got caught up on the metals non-group for a while. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64468: Hot chilli, mainly american term for a fruit stone. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #64513: I appreciate the decision to use the dots to guide the solver. I feel like they could have been omitted and it would have made the puzzle less accessible. Nice design choice! (2 years, 6 months ago)

count snackula @ #64501: 12 seconds (2 years, 6 months ago)

b @ #64468: Ghost pepper? Peach pit? All a bit weird. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Kitty @ #64513: I found this super easy but fun (2 years, 6 months ago)

count snackula @ #64513: good consistent grid, well done. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64515: Just because they can have layers doesn't really make it a valid grouping; if they always have then sure, but you're requiring a second level of abstraction. Likewise the anagrams of homophones and the second letter green things - yes, fiendish, but too contrived to feel that they should have been achievable. (2 years, 6 months ago)

ChuckieD @ #64515: Ian, give me an example of which one is confusing you and I'll see if i can improve it (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ian @ #64515: 'have' and 'can have ' are not the same thing. Too random. (2 years, 6 months ago)

RMP @ #64509: What is univited? (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ian @ #64513: Fun while it lasted. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ian @ #64509: Enjoyed this grid. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #64513: Excellent and different. Ran out of time, got all the connections. You win by lots. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64513: Nice one. Not as easy as it looks even when you've got the format, took me 2:58 to get them all. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Fish @ #64513: Fun format, plenty of potential for future grids too (2 years, 6 months ago)

Fish @ #64509: This felt like a proper old fashioned grid, with categories beyond "words that can be followed by X". Also, any mention of Alanis Morrisette is always a win (2 years, 6 months ago)

AJ @ #64260: I took the quart/ounce/teaspoon/pint as a general measurement match (first one I got). I missed the explanation on the Tea match. I guessed "disposable". (2 years, 6 months ago)

b @ #64473: OK but cart isn't quatre, now is it. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64437: Brilliant grid. Loved the knotty puzzles. Please include clergy as an answer. Clergy - Body of persons, such as ministers, sheiks, priests and rabbis, who are trained and ordained for religious service Thanks :-) (2 years, 6 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64439: Another great grid. Thanks :-) (2 years, 6 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64463: Fun! Thanks :-) (2 years, 6 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64468: Fun grid. However, Reading is a town, not a city (2 years, 6 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64469: Fun and fresh. Thanks :-) (2 years, 6 months ago)

Justforfun @ #64473: Wye Kott I love Ronnie Barker, those 2 really made me laugh! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Justforfun @ #64489: Glad to see there is still a place for a bit of fun and nonsense : ) (2 years, 6 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64512: Good grid. Thanks :-) (2 years, 6 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64473: Fun! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64508: Excellent grid. Great crossovers! Thanks 10/10 :-) (2 years, 6 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64509: Good grid; straightforward and easy thanks :-) Check your spelling on "Univited" Would have liked some crossovers as I didn't see any or red herrings. (2 years, 6 months ago)

gummyluvr220 @ #50128: i listened to every song and ran out of time oops i lose oh well anyways how are you doing (2 years, 6 months ago)

gummyluvr220 @ #41610: chocolate is called the color brown last time I checked but to be fair the last time I checked was a few days ago so I might be outdated. cheers. i'm 78 gummyluvr230 (2 years, 6 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #64487: Loved the red herrings in this puzzle. Nice job! (2 years, 6 months ago)

b @ #64476: 10/10 for me. Nothing I can dispute or criticise there, which makes a hugely wonderful change from too many on here. Good one. (2 years, 6 months ago)

fi @ #64489: initially thought these were anagrams but then i was muttering the designers and had a light bulb moment. i also do not pronounce "dew" with a j. clever but i did wonder at first about compilers literacy, sorry! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Kitty @ #64499: Way too many possible categories here, and too many of the items could be swapped between the groups you've assigned. Oddly both esoteric and random. (2 years, 6 months ago)

freddgar @ #64487: Nice and easy grid, good red red herrings 10 all round Thanks for posting. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Wye Kott @ #64473: I thought I was good at mangled "homowotsits" but you are on a par with Ronnie Barker. You ARE having fun. EGGS SELL ANT! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Paul @ #64486: niche? everyone knows all these. Even though I wasted the first 30 secs trying to match all the dogs! (2 years, 6 months ago)

RMP @ #64494: D B Cooper did not kill anyone did they? Some of the people suspected of being him did, but he is not an unidentified serial killer. Also don't understand the ted cruz reference. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64479: The word is not there, but there is an actual scream in the most common recorded version... (2 years, 6 months ago)

freddgar @ #64494: D.B Cooper & Ted Cruz on a par with the other two ?? (2 years, 6 months ago)

Kitty @ #64489: A bit oversimple but still fun (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64497: Moon knight? Oh, a comic book hero, how novel. More importantly, what sort of a connection is "in the name"? They're all colours, just about, but no idea what your link means. (2 years, 6 months ago)

RBR45 @ #64489: good grid - bit different 10/10 (2 years, 6 months ago)

Kitty @ #64486: Helps to have been a child in the 80s! (2 years, 6 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #64488: Thank you - nice easy grid for a Sunday. Didn't accept repeated. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64486: Please, if you're using such niche links add a proper explanation in your answer. (2 years, 6 months ago)

count snackula @ #64484: the animal group was a bit tenuous (2 years, 6 months ago)

count snackula @ #64489: I don't pronounce dew with a j sound (2 years, 6 months ago)

count snackula @ #64473: not bad, the french number van cart was a bit dubious (2 years, 6 months ago)

Joni @ #64457: Nice grid. I enjoyed it. Thank you Grr (2 years, 6 months ago)

count snackula @ #64396: good grid, not too hard (2 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #64489: Fun... but too easy still needs red herrings even if they're obvious ones. (2 years, 6 months ago)

b @ #64479: I'm not sure that just having four odd things that rhyme is in the spirit of grids. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Maureess @ #64479: Nice grid, but no "Scream" in the TFF song! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #64484: Not unique: Sea and Eye can be swapped (2 years, 6 months ago)

PhilD2681 @ #64434: Enjoyable grid. Thanks (2 years, 6 months ago)

Kabuki @ #46129: i am puzzel (2 years, 6 months ago)

Plod @ #64473: @ nighttime, Mersey boo coo! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Kabuki @ #62972: love it joey its very good (2 years, 6 months ago)

Hypatia @ #64473: Should take "Dickens" (2 years, 6 months ago)

nighttime @ #64473: Haha, I would love to hear you speaking French like that :P Fun grid! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Avenger @ #11716: Obviously Imperial a university ( a good one too). The problem is the Oxford ( weave), jacquard (knit). (Single/ double) jersey group --- none are shirts but more a reference to the fabric used and the "skinny" .. which is a kind of french fry. "Fit" is not a type of shirt. Apart from that, a great grid (2 years, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #64396: Nice grid. Fun and logical. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #64448: Characters from the bible = biblical characters? (2 years, 6 months ago)

RBR45 @ #64479: might want to check Scream is correct but pretty easy grid (2 years, 6 months ago)

Jesus @ #64480: My life is actually worse knowing this grid exists (2 years, 6 months ago)

Dave @ #64478: Enjoyed, ta. Don't know how I spotted the red ones, bbut I did! (2 years, 6 months ago)

gabe @ #58641: woo! 10/10 -- been a while (glad I read Mrs Brisby) (2 years, 6 months ago)

PeteC85 @ #41311: Great job, loved that. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Fred @ #64476: Great - really enjoyable. Thank you. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #64473: Nicely done, I failed to recognise the book 😓 Well done. You win 6-10 Thanks for posting. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #64476: That was excellently different. Very good, you win, 10-4. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 6 months ago)

RMP @ #64474: B ball???? what is that? (2 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #64468: Very easy! I'd never heard of ghost pepper - but luckily I'd heard of Pepper's Ghost! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Daphne @ #64473: Fun! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64463: Nice mix of clue types with quite a few red herrings. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64462: Not bad. Could work a little bit on your answers, an egg is not actually spherical; and what is a foam wall? (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64461: Possibly the easiest grid I've ever seen here, but the answers could do with some work, e.g. 1234, abc not valid. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Fred @ #64473: Excellent (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64454: 1. Not everybody uses the US-English keyboard layout. 2, Apostrophe comes from Greek via Latin, with no French link. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ian @ #64396: Enjoyed this grid. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ian @ #64453: Enjoyed this grid. Gentle. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Superrodan @ #64453: Took me a long while to find the first group, because I was so focused on trying to force the category that had at least three other things that could have fit into it. Once I got the groups down though, it all clicked. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Superrodan @ #64455: I liked this one but man would it feels as though it would have been nearly impossible without having played Magic the Gathering before. (2 years, 6 months ago)

J @ #64455: Fun grid! (2 years, 6 months ago)

q @ #64463: Accidentally put in Fiendish, meant to put it in Medium. Oh well, have no idea how to delete a puzzgrid !! hahaha (2 years, 6 months ago)

Www @ #30596: Easy Hp was my last one (2 years, 6 months ago)

Www @ #64462: I know this one isn’t the best but it’s my second one and I think it is pretty good for my second one. (2 years, 6 months ago)

mal @ #64437: Easy but nice to have some categories that are a bit different from the usual (2 years, 6 months ago)

Boris J @ #64454: Terrible connections,apart from the punctuation. Apostrophe from French origin? No, it’s Greek. It’s not a red herring it’s just lack of basic research. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #64296: Finished it with one second left! Awesome puzzle, thank you! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Fisty @ #64437: Brilliant got too focused on bands (2 years, 6 months ago)

Botkin Hospital @ #64437: Now this is a great level of grid! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Botkin Hospital @ #64443: This was not medium difficulty, this was at least hard. Like how many people know about music hall songs (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64453: Nice one. For some reasons all the groups fell out on the first attempt, so I didn't spot the red herring until later. Too easy, or did I just get lucky? (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64442: Searched for ages for the lost Saint. Still don't get it, did they name a child Saint? (2 years, 6 months ago)

JonBob @ #64437: Lovely! (2 years, 6 months ago)

gabe @ #59640: my most satisfying wall of yours, ever (2 years, 6 months ago)

Steve @ #64445: I like leon (2 years, 6 months ago)

Dave @ #64445: This is really neat. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64437: Nice one. Please make sure you use singular answer forms, e.g. sailor would also allow sailors, not the other way round. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64436: Too clever for me, just 4/10. Well done. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Sredni @ #64437: Brilliant one. Thanks! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Bearcules @ #64443: Yes, but is there "on the waterfront"? (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64430: All very nice, until I got to one last group I couldn't work out. Which turned out to be so niche and specialist it really shouldn't be in a general interest grid. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Fred @ #64426: (2 years, 6 months ago)

barry womble @ #64440: Really good grid. Solved by luck rather than judgement. (2 years, 6 months ago)

chortle @ #64338: Some daft clues and groupings here. Box of frogs, bag of spanners : utter nonsense. I hope others will copy me and mark you down. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Bli231957 @ #64401: Not of the the 'ate's were verbs, for example 'Carbonate'. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Jay @ #64439: I had re_____ for trans_____ (2 years, 6 months ago)

Matt @ #64414: You lot need to chill the F out a bit (2 years, 6 months ago)

Jonkheer @ #64428: Nice grid. Couple notes: would have quite liked it to accept 'residence' and I have never heard of 'red fever' – did you mean 'scarlet fever'? (2 years, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #64434: Good ideas, but spoiled by incorrect spelling and either swappable answers, or answers put into the wrong group (e g. I've never heard of a tenor drum, but if it exists tenor could still be swapped with bass in the voice group). (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ant @ #64406: Very good, thank you (2 years, 6 months ago)

Obama @ #59119: I haven’t drank in years please help (2 years, 6 months ago)

Lord Bumwad @ #64414: Crikey, nearly made me drop my monocle. (2 years, 6 months ago)

mal @ #64406: Tricksy! and fun (2 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #64428: Enjoyed this one, red herrings galore. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Fisty @ #64396: Good grid, got clothes group just in time. Awesome effort (2 years, 6 months ago)

Fish @ #64414: Did Freud make this one? Tbf, I found it harmlessly amusing (2 years, 6 months ago)

chortle @ #64403: I wondered where Swisscows would end up. All rather too techy, of interest only to geeks. I've marked you down. (2 years, 6 months ago)

chortle @ #64414: Pink oboe? Nonsense. I agree with an earlier comment that some of this may not be suitable for all. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Garth @ #64388: Tits! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #64414: Schoolboyish (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64417: Annoying that I didn't spot it, but such ridiculously simplistic groupings are really not in the spirit of the thing, IMO. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Christine Ann Hopper @ #64414: not suitable (2 years, 6 months ago)

RMP @ #64406: Nice crossovers. Consider adding EPL to the correct link for that row. (2 years, 6 months ago)

me @ #64417: nice (2 years, 6 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #64406: Enjoyed that! 🙂 (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64401: I agree with Malcontent. The periodic table knowledge required is so specialised only chemical science grads could possibly have a chance. I guessed at 'metal', which could have been use instead. (2 years, 6 months ago)

asmr @ #64413: its proper good (2 years, 6 months ago)

gergo @ #64290: this was the best time of my life (2 years, 6 months ago)

fisted @ #64406: bloody good time (2 years, 6 months ago)

Lucy @ #64396: Enjoyed it, thank you, couldnt get the clothes group connection but you cant win em all! :) (2 years, 6 months ago)

Plod @ #64380: ... and you almost got me on the fruity drink group. (2 years, 6 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #64407: Tough one which I didn't complete - thank you for the challenge. Also, zodiac does not bring success unlike your answer of astrological. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Wye Kott @ #64410: Nice one Richard, you suckered me in with the herring. TY (2 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #64396: Very good, it was the Tier line wot done for me. Couple of very nice red herrings. You win 10-7. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Lisbon Geaville @ #64290: Excellent grid! (2 years, 6 months ago)

hans @ #64385: nice mix of topics (2 years, 6 months ago)

Mike @ #64396: Nice. 6 homophones to slow the button smashers. I Just could not see the clothes group..normally a bra would leap out at me. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #64401: A couple of good ideas, but not a great grid. One group had very over-specific link, considering how loose one of the other groups was, and the 'ate' grouping was extremely weak, especially as 'verbs' wasn't accepted as a link. (2 years, 6 months ago)

ernst blofinger @ #64389: the skin condition set... a thing of beauty... (2 years, 6 months ago)

Chester @ #64396: Some old favourites in there, but nicely put together. TY (2 years, 6 months ago)

Fish @ #64390: Thanks for reminding me how much I flunked science at school (2 years, 6 months ago)

Fish @ #64380: Some Duran Duran fighting talk here. Good grid, mind (2 years, 6 months ago)

Fish @ #64389: Some original categories here. Never heard of a party wall but that maybe says more about me (2 years, 6 months ago)

RBR45 @ #64290: Good grid (2 years, 6 months ago)

Sin @ #64405: I rated 5 can i have my family back now please? (2 years, 6 months ago)

Boyi Li @ #64401: Very Good! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #64396: tomhacfc - don't worry too much. Some will like and day so, some will like but leave no message, some just enjoy picking faults. As long as you have fun - do it (2 years, 6 months ago)

tomhcafc @ #64396: Thanks JBGrumpy, this was my first attempt so would like to know what people think before attempting any others (2 years, 6 months ago)

gabe @ #64388: ugh, saw reap/pear early on, but could not find others. was distracted by the san genaro festival, which is actually san gennaro. :( (2 years, 6 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #64396: Nice grid. 🙂 (2 years, 6 months ago)

SnCold710 @ #64397: The country group didn't accept country as an answer. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Alison Page @ #64399: test (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64382: I spotted the head connection pretty quickly too, the other one just dropped out although I confess I didn't know the more obscure member of that group either. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64398: You already did this. Bad enough the first time. We get it, you like Taylor Swift. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #64382: Capone and Essex lines were easy for me (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64397: Far too many valid combinations for french things and food; three of the latter group are also 'french' and all the french things are food. Oh, and you might allow nation or state in the country group answers. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64382: @Wye Knott, I'd love to know which are the two you thought were straightforward and which not. They seem about equally difficult to me. (2 years, 6 months ago)

tomhcafc @ #64388: Great grid, got the links but ran out of time (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64392: Good one. Got there in the end but needed more time. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Blondie @ #64389: RMP, I know but I did see it several colour charts. (2 years, 6 months ago)

RMP @ #64389: I have never heard penny used in that sense (2 years, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #64388: Really good. I was totally stuck for a minute, until I spotted the Genaro link, after that, the other groups fell into place. Thank you. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64390: Your branch answer doesn't really work. They're all vaguely similar to ,somehow related even, but certainly non synonyms of branch or of each other. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Bearcules @ #64379: Really liked this (2 years, 6 months ago)

fi @ #64367: how is the average uk person supposed to get the groups? we are sadly not usually fluent in other languages. (2 years, 6 months ago)

fi @ #64359: yes rich, thats why i thought they were the french revolution months. i guessed the cricket answer but never watched game of thrones so no hope with that one (2 years, 6 months ago)

Maureess @ #64380: Not really sure that "Will" fits in a group of question words. Also Wild Boys is ace (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64387: Really shouldn't be ticked as 'of general interest'. (2 years, 6 months ago)

a @ #64379: (2 years, 6 months ago)

chortle @ #64380: Will doesn't really fit with Who, When . . . And some of the songs are pretty obscure. So I've marked you down. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Daz @ #64387: Please warn me not to bother with these sort of grids... (2 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #64380: Excellent, loved the red herrings, very clever. Got the lot with 44s to go. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Emma @ #64015: ". Dogs" needs an edit. Good grid though. Thanks (2 years, 6 months ago)

Fish @ #64373: Great quiz and a reminder that Tom Hardy is not always a guarantee that a movie is good (2 years, 6 months ago)

Fish @ #64359: This grid wasn't the run of the milly, but anything else would be silly (2 years, 6 months ago)

nitpicker @ #64379: Nice! (2 years, 6 months ago)

John @ #64380: Excellent - thanks (2 years, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #64336: Well done 👏 (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64380: Nice one. Didn't spot the "homowotsits" at all, let alone the red herrings thereof, your cleverness was wasted in me. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64378: Got them all right, but only in English. Please mark with correct language. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Hutch @ #64359: Brisk does mean cold. (But I admit blowy is a bit of a stretch.) (2 years, 6 months ago)

Helga @ #64364: Nicely balanced quiz. (2 years, 6 months ago)

PeteC85 @ #64364: Really difficult! I had a couple of the groups, but couldn't get past the crossovers. Excellent work. (2 years, 6 months ago)

chortle @ #64359: Brisk does not mean cold, and I've never seen GoT - got better things to do. The cricketers were the easy bit. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64352: Hard to do in German when you don't have an umlaut on your keyboard, or a ss. Fun, easy grid for a basic German speaker. Thanks :-) Vieilen Dank (2 years, 6 months ago)

Jay @ #64362: Fun (2 years, 6 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64336: Very good. High quality explanations too. Thanks :-) (2 years, 6 months ago)

Bob Johnson @ #64360: We were 100% sure the Rings were the Pokemon Generation 1 games. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ian @ #64359: Enjoyed this grid. I doubt non-cricket fans did. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ian @ #64347: Enjoyed this grid. (2 years, 6 months ago)

David @ #64338: Liked it, quite easy although I worded the connection wrong on one I still enjoyed (2 years, 6 months ago)

Dave @ #64347: Think it's a sign I spend too long on this website that the hidden fish was the first group I saw 🙂 thanks for posting. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Rhori @ #64323: Excellent grid (2 years, 6 months ago)

count snackula @ #64300: well done, good fun (2 years, 6 months ago)

chortle @ #64333: Who is Tom Waits? Meander and coast do not mean the same thing so cannot by synonyms, and Baker is a current occupation - the MIddle Ages thing is somewhat tenuous. Silly thing is, I enjoyed it. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64335: @count snackula, Brian, I guess. (2 years, 6 months ago)

count snackula @ #64333: a bit iffy (2 years, 6 months ago)

count snackula @ #64335: brine? (2 years, 6 months ago)

count snackula @ #64338: good one, well done to the setter (2 years, 6 months ago)

Rhori @ #64325: Excellent quiz. Couldn’t solve it but had fun trying! Thanks for sharing (2 years, 6 months ago)

Kitty @ #64327: Sorry but this is just too arbitrary - you could just as easily find phrases that use 'break, cut, back' etc for any of these categories. (2 years, 6 months ago)

George @ #64335: You had to think of different accents because they were not all homophones (2 years, 6 months ago)

George @ #64347: Spine a sharp point? (2 years, 6 months ago)

Kitty @ #64335: Clever, I liked it- though I had to imagine a particular accent for one category! Fun. (2 years, 6 months ago)

TR6 @ #64345: good (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64338: Nice one. Maybe allow face as well? (2 years, 6 months ago)

Aetees @ #64325: I always enjoy the picture grids. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Helga @ #64325: Great! (2 years, 6 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #64332: Thanks, BeffMichael. Thought the pms was good even without a crossover. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Bearcules @ #64290: Excellent (2 years, 6 months ago)

Blondie @ #64345: enzed all came from an English teaching website, so I might stick with their interpretation. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #64290: Enjoyed this one! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Bingo Little @ #64323: A nice grid, particularly for someone my age. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #64338: @josh, remember to chew 30 times before swallowing! Enjoy. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Enzed @ #64345: Choir is q, school is k. Sorry (2 years, 6 months ago)

Enzed @ #64347: :-) (2 years, 6 months ago)

count snackula @ #64325: like it (2 years, 6 months ago)

count snackula @ #64290: quite good (2 years, 6 months ago)

RMP @ #64343: I'm sorry, but the answers to this are ridiculously tight. I put "Cartoon characters", "Clothing","colours", "fruit", every single one of which was "incorrect". Also "Gamboll" and "Sponjbob" do not exist. The latter I think is a typo for "Spongebob", the former I have no idea, maybe "Gumball"? (2 years, 6 months ago)

RMP @ #64344: "Spanjbob"?? Also the the links are *very* restrictive e.g. US spellings only accepted (color not colour). And one (fruit) I think was only rejected because I didn't capitalize it. (2 years, 6 months ago)

josh @ #64338: god awful, would rather eat razor blades tbh (2 years, 6 months ago)

josh @ #6933: REALLY REALLY BAD!!!!!!!!! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #57877: Very good - had to cheat with Google's song identifier! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #57936: Ya beat me! Very good and enjoyable! Rys - don't dis the Marmite! 😀 (Bill Bryson said that for years he wondered what this "Marmite" was that he'd heard about, never for a moment guessing it was an edible lubricant! 🤣 ) (2 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #64325: Wonderful! Refreshing change from some very "samey" grids lately! TY Castellan: no, snooker balls in the triangular frame are all red. That's pool. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Anvil @ #64332: Synagogue, with a "u". (2 years, 6 months ago)

fi @ #64333: 1, i dont think the synonyms group are. 2, the occupations are not limited to the middle ages. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Naomi @ #64333: I put "wander about" for meander etc, something likes that should be permitted. Great grid! Almost got distracted with fake group "adrift", "ascribe", "awaits". (2 years, 6 months ago)

Yo @ #2093: John Boy is a character from a 70's TV show called "The Waltons". (2 years, 6 months ago)

Pauline @ #64331: If you are not a Taylor Swift fan then don't bother (2 years, 6 months ago)

gabe @ #61938: TIL americans spell a certain word differently :) (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64327: Not bad, but perhaps a bit too contrived. I correctly guessed two of the connections but even then could not get any of the groups. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Tilly @ #64325: Bloody red herrings! VG Wd TY (2 years, 6 months ago)

Castellan Spandrell @ #64325: I thought that was snooker ? (2 years, 6 months ago)

misof @ #64322: Decent grid. A minus for me is that "Eyeliner" is actually related to eyes. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Kitty @ #64325: Fun TY! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ian @ #64290: Enjoyed this grid muchly. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ian @ #64322: Enjoyed this grid. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Tilly @ #64323: could not think of the 'line' line, Friends was on TV and had a coffee enlightenment moment. ty for the confetti (2 years, 6 months ago)

Fish @ #64307: Enjoyed the crossovers, and bird based themes (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64315: Nice, although the T group could also all be colours. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Julie @ #24111: Feel like "villain organizations" should be allowed for a clue to the Hydra etc group. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Steve @ #64160: poor! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Jesus @ #295: Nice comment, Mark (2 years, 6 months ago)

Rhori @ #64315: Good one (2 years, 6 months ago)

lykke @ #43872: Medium? Na ja. Ziemlich easy-peasy (und ich bin echt nicht gut in diesen grids). Aber dass dann die wortwörtlich identische Erklärung (inkl. Satzzeichen!) 4x incorrect gegeben wird, ist schon ziemlich ärgerlich. (2 years, 6 months ago)

David @ #45: acoustics isn't right? (2 years, 6 months ago)

nighttime @ #64296: Nice! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Rhori @ #64300: Enjoyed this - bit of fun. Thanks for sharing. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Rhori @ #64307: Good fun. Thanks for sharing. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Dave @ #64307: Enjoyed, thanks. Slightly nerdy point of order: Ankara is in the Asian portion of Turkey, so is it a European capital? (2 years, 6 months ago)

Tilly @ #64305: Brannigan, I had heard of, will research the other. Ty (2 years, 6 months ago)

Tilly @ #64307: Simply little quiz, I used groups as well as bands and capital cities worked fine for me. NFL had to be inserted as two of the four (at least are Rugby league teams. TY (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64307: Excellent grid. @RMP, Sports Teams clearly isn't specific enough, I put US football which was fine, whereas the bands don't have anything more detailed in common. (2 years, 6 months ago)

nitpicker @ #64296: Very nice - original and not at all obvious (2 years, 6 months ago)

RMP @ #64306: No links in the "more info"; at least two misspellings ("linx" and "squriel") and "P" and "F" should be lower case. (2 years, 6 months ago)

RMP @ #64307: Some nice crossovers, but weird marking here: "bands" will do for one row but "Sports teams" will not do for another, and "capital cities" will not do for another. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Alf @ #64305: No, I didn't make them up! Both somewhat obscure, I'll grant you, but perhaps if you google a shade more slowly you'll find, as I did, that examples of those words with those meanings are really terribly easy to find. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64305: Skite? Brannigan? Did you just make them up? Even a quick google fails to find them used in any such context. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Fish @ #64296: This was great. Mystified how some people find this easy, I was grappling at thin air for a while (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64296: Yeah, nice one. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64300: Fun. But I shouldn't really have been given 10/10 when I just typed homophone for the names group, given that I had, indeed still have, no idea what the connection is. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Tilly @ #64300: Not tricky, a smile maker ty (2 years, 6 months ago)

J @ #64300: Not really homophones (2 years, 6 months ago)

Joni @ #64237: Would never have guessed the Foden line but it made me smile. Thank you (2 years, 6 months ago)

Murdo @ #64291: Simon, don't apologise because one or two people give negative comments. You have found a new way to distact the solver and some don't like it. Well, that's their problem, not yours. As I see it, this grid has 32 words and we have to find 4 groups of 4. A clever idea on how to use the Puzzgrid format in a new way. Keep those variations coming. Well done. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Bee @ #64220: Didn't get it cause I don't watch formula 1 (2 years, 6 months ago)

Tilly @ #64298: Tougher than it looked. Ty (2 years, 6 months ago)

PJ @ #64171: @PeteC85. Sure there is. A triangle with one angle being 90 degrees is a right triangle. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Rhori @ #64296: Very good - enjoyed this one. Thanks (2 years, 6 months ago)

Cassette @ #64180: Usually don't love grids of all names, but this one was fun! "Novelists" ought to be accepted, they've all published novels (2 years, 6 months ago)

Susan @ #64292: A couple of spelling mistakes-'Eid' and 'annoying' (2 years, 6 months ago)

Bobby @ #64292: Poop (2 years, 6 months ago)

Simon @ #64291: Sorry, that it is not good. This was just an idea I had for grid. Had no idea whether it would be good or bad. It was about figuring out the connections where there was 4 words. There were fake connections of 3s and 2s to make it harder. Sorry again. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64291: So half of each clue is completely superfluous? Sorry, that's not good. (2 years, 6 months ago)

J @ #64291: I don't get it. I got 10/10 by just ignoring one of the words in each clue. Is the other word in each a meaningless red herring? (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64290: Nice one. (2 years, 6 months ago)

freddgar @ #64277: Nice and easy grid, one nit pick. The Hawker Hurricane is a single seat, single engine propeller plane. First flight 1934. Googled, but couldn't find another Hurricane plane. 10s all round, thanks for posting. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Helga @ #29913: Nicely balanced grid. (2 years, 6 months ago)

count snackula @ #64260: nice, not too hard (2 years, 6 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #64282: Thank you but couldn't find any crossovers. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64265: No worries. It's the other way round - if you put answer it will also accept answers. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Rhori @ #64265: Ace - I genuinely thought it would pick up singular guesses if the plural word included the singular word eg. “Answer” would be accepted if the option was “answers”. Will edit. Thanks for feedback. (2 years, 6 months ago)

PeteC85 @ #64270: That was hard! Lots of misdirects, which I enjoyed. Good job. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Blondie @ #64277: Tom a Hurricane dates back to 30s & 40s. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Tilly @ #64268: Good one (2 years, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #64277: Good grid, very tricky, but the Hurricane isn't a jet (unless there's a more modern one I'm not aware of). (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64263: Too many loose fits, at lease one in each group that you really need to stretch to make it work. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64265: Your grids would probably be graded higher if you could improve your answers, for example to allow singular as well as plural. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Blondie @ #64277: They are. I will add that too, thanks. (2 years, 6 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #64277: Thanks for a challenge - but aren't Riga, Lima etc also capitals or I am being dense on a Friday morning?! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64269: Please use the language option when setting your grids, which are appearing as English. (2 years, 6 months ago)

hmm @ #64260: Picky crowd... (2 years, 6 months ago)

Trixie @ #64268: Would have liked it to accept indulgent but I enjoyed it TY (2 years, 6 months ago)

Arnold S. @ #50900: excellent puzzle my g. (2 years, 6 months ago)

DH @ #64267: Nice one (2 years, 6 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #64260: Please include imperial as an accepted answer for the measurements category. Teaspoon is not only a measurement of liquid, recipies can call for a teaspoon of salt. Imperial is a word that relates to all 4. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ian @ #64268: Enjoyed this grid. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Yorkies! @ #64260: Thanks for your comments @Ace and @RMP - I amended the accepted answers. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Tim D @ #64232: Well, I liked it. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64260: @RMP I didn't know that a US (liquid) ounce was not exactly the same as a UK Fl.Oz, so arguably the grid is actually consistent in US terms. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64236: I thought it was quite a decent grid and got my 10/10 confetti, having wondered about comic strip and then realised Stephen Fry wsn't in it and plumped for Blackadder instead. @Mark Norman, I often feel the same when it;s just plurals, capitals and the like, but I think one needs to accept a certain level of specificity, and in this case the TV one in particular is actually more correct - not all medical dramas are set in hospitals, but all of these ones are. (2 years, 6 months ago)

RMP @ #64260: I agree with Ace, but having lived in USA I learned that the word ounce is widely used in recipes etc. as a measurement of volume. Given that US and UK fluid ounces are different this is even more maddening. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64260: Ounce is not a volume/liquid measure, but a weight. One ounce (weight) of water gives one 'fluid ounce' volume, but other liquids will vary, so a fluid ounce (volume measure) of alcohol, for example, will actually weigh only about 8/10 of an ounce. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Mark Norman @ #64236: Hi there. I really enjoy your grids but I think you need to widen the terms that are accepted for correct answers. For example, I gave 'tv medical dramas' as my answer for one set - but it was marked incorrect because the system would only accept 'hospital'. Whilst I admit that 'rivers' was the most obvious answer for the river set, I gave the answer 'Valleys' - which is also correct, as each are formally recognised as valley areas. Just a thought :) (2 years, 6 months ago)

Rhori @ #64236: Ian - they weren't all in the Comic Strip I'm afraid and Havon is mispelt, giving a small clue (although it is also a charity). (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ian @ #64236: Is havon a word? And before Blackadder those guys were in the Comic Strip. Enjoyed failing this grid. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Pallas @ #64236: i liked this one a lot. Thanks for posting (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64232: Seems to be an error - Ra doesn't make sense in that group, from your answer it should be 'out'. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Bearcules @ #64215: I had the two wests (Rose and Dominic) as well as George North (rugby player) and Peter North ("actor")! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #64217: Had fun doing this one! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #64236: Enjoyed the grid but the answers a quite picky (2 years, 6 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #11619: Excellent grid. Applause :-) (2 years, 6 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64232: Way too obscure to be any fun. And I am a Disney Pixar fan. Check the "Best grids" for some ideas for it to be fun and solvable. Thanks for posting anyway. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64171: FYI, for the critics out there... A right triangle (American English) or right-angled triangle (British), or more formally an orthogonal triangle , formerly called a rectangled triangle (from Wikipedia) (2 years, 6 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64227: Excellent grid. Some of my favourite movies in there. Loved the "Luke" line especially. Thanks (2 years, 6 months ago)

Jay @ #64233: I think the wordplay categories were too obscure/difficult (2 years, 6 months ago)

Wally Winka @ #64225: IH8GrumpyOldMen - really fair point and have edited it to what you said. Thanks! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Shane @ #64199: I loved this grid!! thank you so much ! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #60414: Excellent grid, nearly fell for it. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 6 months ago)

IH8GrumpyOldMen @ #64225: Pedi sounds reminiscent of feet. ‘Paedi’ might be more appropriate (BRITISH English). Otherwise decent, thanks. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Loin El Richie @ #64225: Top-drawer. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Fish @ #64219: Great grid, was convinced there were Expresses in there (2 years, 6 months ago)

datroof @ #64171: Very good! And the number of pedantic jackasses who assume that their limited experience of the world gives them the only possible perspective on knowledge is becoming less and less amusing to me. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Anvil @ #60414: I saw what you did there. My heart sank when I saw Kayak and Racecar - but it was a trick!! 😄 (2 years, 6 months ago)

Anvil @ #64217: "a bit of a push" is fine! 😄 (2 years, 6 months ago)

Botkin Hospital @ #56053: Should check your spelling before making grids, and improve your keywords cause "bicycle" didn't work for the first and it really should. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Fish @ #64226: Great grid (2 years, 6 months ago)

b @ #63883: Pretty straightforward (2 years, 6 months ago)

b @ #64170: It's "Quantum". And the rhyming group was indeed lazy. (2 years, 6 months ago)

b @ #64191: Enjoyed that. If anything I would criticise the common theme of the endings, because clock one and you soon clock the lot, but I reckon you'll get decent marks from many. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Chris @ #64226: Ditto! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Fish @ #64225: Thought that the Pedi and The category was 'Cure' (2 years, 6 months ago)

GG @ #64206: @ Will - that's what I was thinking (2 years, 6 months ago)

Will @ #64206: Happy Valley is also a racecourse in Hong Kong (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ant @ #64195: The trouble with themed grids like this is there is so much overlap it’s hard to nail propecisely how you’re grouping (2 years, 6 months ago)

Jaded Mineral @ #64227: Really enjoyed the theme and challenge. As a nerd though I have to say that replicants aren't robots :) (2 years, 6 months ago)

Sredni @ #64226: Should have got it. Didn’t. Excellent grid. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64145: Nice with a lot of possible crossovers, but Majors are just capital cities as well, Berlin and Boston could swap and would make the connections more correct. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64146: Nice one. You could work a bit on your answer grids though. Make sure that singular and plural are both allowed, capitalised or lower case, separate or compound words (e.g. game show) etc. etc. (2 years, 6 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #64219: Could the sour etc also be sauce? Thank you for a good grid. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Mr Wye Knot @ #64227: excellent (2 years, 6 months ago)

Tilly @ #64217: Good giggle ty (2 years, 6 months ago)

Supertailz @ #62869: I put in just the word cone and it didn’t accept it (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64220: Nice one. Being pedantic, algae is not a plant, but given that water was OK it's not a problem. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64219: Fooled me with sour, not quite a good fit without the dough. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Rhori @ #64217: Excellent - funny as well 👏 (2 years, 6 months ago)

Fred @ #64217: Excellent fun (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64217: I quite liked it, 10/10, although I agree with the author that a couple of them were "a bit of a push". (2 years, 6 months ago)

Fish @ #64214: Liked this, some original categories (2 years, 6 months ago)

Fish @ #64215: I also searched for other Wests! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64109: The curse group doesn't make sense - one of them with an extra letter, maybe, and a couple of the others slightly related, with or without extra letter, but as it is it's not correct. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Rhori @ #64215: I typed saints and it didn't allow it? (2 years, 6 months ago)

doc filth @ #64215: I was trying really hard to find two other "West"s as well as Dominic and Rose... (2 years, 6 months ago)

Anvil @ #64215: Saints? They are also just boys' names! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #64203: Thanks Mauress! Corrected now. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #64206: Loved this - thank you! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64214: Nice, but TBH I don't think I deserve 10/10 by simply answering 'film' and 'game' for two groups where I didn't really know the connection. (2 years, 6 months ago)

b @ #64167: OK, thank you. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Mr Wye Knot @ #64206: Quite right Jeannie - and fiona, I send you your confetti (2 years, 6 months ago)

Rhori @ #64197: Ace - fair comment. Thanks. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Andy Robinson @ #64190: I put Shakespeare characters for the third one, thought it was a little harsh to need the exact play. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64193: I put singers for the film group. which could also be a valid answer. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Lou @ #64188: The fragrance links should also accept fashion designers. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64197: Too complicated, lots of other possible relationships. The "heirs" group needs a firmer definition too, since many of the others are also in the line of succession. (2 years, 6 months ago)

fiona @ #64206: knew all the links but knocked the wrong key and didnt get the points.😢😢 (2 years, 6 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #64206: Sugar sugar was a famous song from the sixties by a cartoon group called The Archie's! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Maureess @ #64193: Nice, but check the spelling of "semolina" (2 years, 6 months ago)

Maureess @ #64203: Nice, but tendEncy (not tendAncy) (2 years, 6 months ago)

GP @ #64206: Never heard of a sugar dummy or sugar sugar so that one stumped me so 7/10, but otherwise a good fun grid! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #64170: It would help to widen the allowable answers to include rhyming words and 007 film titles. Otherwise it was a good grid. (2 years, 6 months ago)

anvil @ #32030: Hmm... cards isn't really a game. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Wordsworth @ #64190: Lots of fun with all the red herrings. Thanks for the confetti. (2 years, 6 months ago)

mal @ #64171: Pretty good but let down by 'right' in the triangle group ( it's a right-angled not a right-triangle). Swap that out and it would be a very good gtid (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ed @ #64171: Great 1st grid back from Manchester! Thanks all x (2 years, 6 months ago)

Loin El Richie @ #64178: Bravo! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Rhori @ #64190: Very good - i solved it but didn't recognise stars... which was a shame. (2 years, 6 months ago)

J @ #64171: Good grid. Right triangle is fine - American version of right angled triangle. (2 years, 6 months ago)

PeteC85 @ #64189: Didn't accept Cooper for the relevant group, please add this. Great grid overall, finished it last second! Good work. (2 years, 6 months ago)

PeteC85 @ #61101: Gutted that I only got three of the connections, that last one was clever... (2 years, 6 months ago)

PeteC85 @ #64190: Very good, very tough, didn't get it all! (2 years, 6 months ago)

PeteC85 @ #64171: No such thing as a right triangle... otherwise enjoyable. Thanks! (2 years, 6 months ago)

notthatinuit @ #64043: Really good! Got them all, but it was a close thing. (2 years, 6 months ago)

notthatinuit @ #63769: really hard one, only managed two, but got the links after. good job! (2 years, 6 months ago)

no1 @ #63767: Great crossovers, thanks! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64139: Good grid. Thanks :-) (2 years, 6 months ago)

Hypatia @ #64058: Should take "anagram" (2 years, 6 months ago)

Kanye West @ #64166: I wish that this would talk about me, Kanye West, but it didn't so I can't give it a fully great review. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64170: Fun grid - easy for me. Thanks for posting :-) (2 years, 6 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64178: Thanks - got it. One of your best so far. :-) (2 years, 6 months ago)

Latch Wildebeest @ #64166: Decent puzzgrid but could do with less video game references. Kinda cringe. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64129: Great grid. Thanks :-) (2 years, 6 months ago)

Nick Papadopolis @ #64166: Hello, I hope this finds you well. Frick you my friend! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64167: Good grid. I enjoyed it. Thanks. Improvements - do check all your allowable answers as I solved it but you didn't accept things like "cold weather" or "synonyms". It does detract from the fun of the game when you don't get points. Thanks for posting, regardless. (2 years, 6 months ago)

GP @ #64164: Nice one! Enjoyed this one. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64157: Excellent grid. Good crossovers and fun. Thanks :-) (2 years, 6 months ago)

Rhori @ #64163: Excellent one (2 years, 6 months ago)

Wooloo @ #63632: usedBeef (2 years, 6 months ago)

Bob Johnson @ #64043: This was a fun grid, but the other commenters are right, the three red herrings can be rotated into another correct solution with the same links, so it breaks the rules on the rules page. Good fun grid though. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Patrick Noone @ #63903: Fun grid (2 years, 6 months ago)

Patrick Noone @ #50165: Defo not medium, hard. (2 years, 6 months ago)

thiagoymy @ #64150: such a nice grid (2 years, 6 months ago)

b @ #64131: I completed the grid, but the Last 4 aspect escaped me all through, so your answers are a touch too technical. (2 years, 6 months ago)

b @ #64143: Lennon Wall? And abbreviations of months - not a great idea. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Patrick Noone @ #64150: This was perhaps the greatest puzz grid every conceived. Thank you brother. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #64114: I got everything except the film group, despite having seen two of them. That was a bit too obscure. Most people just don't care. (2 years, 6 months ago)

sobers @ #64114: or....you could just re-write and resubmit it! (2 years, 6 months ago)

sobers @ #64110: check your email, there should be a link to edit. ps I thought it was horse not house. :-) (2 years, 6 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #64110: This is embarrassing - I made a typo in one of the groups. Is there any way i can edit it, or delete it and redo? (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ned Lalky @ #64076: Great grid! Plenty of red herrings. Only managed to solve it with 13 seconds left (2 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #64087: @b 22 yards, it's the distance between the two wickets in cricket. (2 years, 6 months ago)

sobers @ #64087: @b - and sorry for spoiler but "china" is an anagram of "chain" = 22yds (2 years, 6 months ago)

Arthur Tuppeny @ #64089: Harris COUNTY (not countrRy) (2 years, 6 months ago)

b @ #64087: Of what unit of length is china an anagram? I saw inch, yard and mile, but what's the fourth? (2 years, 6 months ago)

b @ #64034: OK, though why anybody might know the expression Wet Hot American summer is beyond me. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64099: Nice one. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64096: Not even close to a unique solution. Lilac, lavender, rose and even orange are interchangeable, Yellow could replace dandelion or sunflower, they could move to flowers, etc. etc. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64077: @Ian, Yes, I enjoyed it too, but both the French group and the Disney group jumped straight out at me, so yes, the french book crossover and the disney movie crossover (both the same item) went unnoticed. And I had to guess at which biblical figure was also a movie, so yeah, my earlier comment was not justified. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ian @ #64077: Enjoyed this grid. There were crossovers. Chill out, Jesus. (2 years, 6 months ago)

b @ #64077: I got the grid, but I didn't know Emma Watson films. Bit niche, that. Unfair for someone to say there was a lack of red herrings - maybe he just didn't understand Noah's in the bible (2 years, 6 months ago)

LEANLEAN @ #63942: NOT PRESIDENT >:(((((((((((((((( (2 years, 6 months ago)

GP @ #64085: Thanka for sharing (2 years, 6 months ago)

Timtam @ #50900: I love it, very clever and good red herrings (2 years, 6 months ago)

Jesus @ #64077: This grid wasn't drowning in red herrings, like the garbage puzzles that are enjoyed by garbage people (2 years, 6 months ago)

Jesus @ #61481: Just as fun the second time around! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Jesus @ #27894: Did you pull a muscle reaching for this garbage? (2 years, 6 months ago)

Rhori @ #64069: Good one (2 years, 6 months ago)

Rhori @ #64078: Very good. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #63741: Good stuff (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64077: Not bad, but lack of red herringss or crossovers made it a little too easy. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #56311: @Gorgon Matchbox toys, used to make small die-cast model cars. (2 years, 6 months ago)

b @ #63960: Actually I is the first word and only word of that newspaper. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Gorgon @ #51121: @sax never heard of "try over" (2 years, 6 months ago)

b @ #64030: I don't know Jojo Rabbit - where's that from? But 10/10 nevertheless. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Gorgon @ #54763: Great puzzle, but leave off putting the "theme" in the answers if people get it they get it or they will see it in the comments, otherwise it basically gives away the 2nd part where you have to name the groups if the person lucked into a group or just ran out of time. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #64069: Gosh, that was tough. So well done with the red herrings! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Gorgon @ #56311: you give kids matchboxes to play with? (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64060: Greek group was impossibly fiendish. Give us a chance. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Michael Hutchinson @ #64031: great stuff (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #64064: Sandstone and slate are not mined, they're quarried, plus iron ore is what comes out of a mine, not iron itself. Got the group OK, but your connection is not accurate. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Michael Hutchinson @ #64043: @Mister Tom - the whole point of a good wall is to have multiple solutions/red herrings/cross overs. It will only fit properly in the specific groups of four given in the grid solutions. Macbeth doesn't fit in any other group for example. (2 years, 6 months ago)

b @ #64057: Fairly straightforward. 10/10, so I like it. (2 years, 6 months ago)

b @ #64064: Nice and easy, probably easier than it first looked. Thanks (2 years, 6 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #25555: Paper works for the category containing crepe. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #64064: The category with 'iron' in it was not satisfying. The words 'ore' and 'quarry' are problems. (2 years, 6 months ago)

John @ #64064: Loved this one - didn't do too well though (2 years, 6 months ago)

A @ #64043: @Mal Too many crossovers? Seriously? There are literally only 2 red herrings - Gaga for the Lady group and Champions for the Queen group... (2 years, 6 months ago)

b @ #64021: Aaron Brown or Aaron Gordon, I've never heard of either of them, so that's a tough and duff group. I've marked you down. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #54760: Thanks so much for all the support. This was my first puzzle and while it's a bit clunky in the diversity of knowledge it requires, I'm glad folks liked the theme! (2 years, 6 months ago)

JF @ #64050: Nice grid. Good selection of answers (they weren't all "add a word to the end" type) and plenty of red herrings. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Bathfood @ #47925: Elegant. Nicely constructed. Thank you. (2 years, 6 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #64055: Not sure about two ways of pronouncing Lima? (2 years, 6 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #64058: Good grid thank you but couldn't the roll connection also be 'rock'? Maybe not as good as yours but I think it works. (2 years, 6 months ago)

GP @ #64026: Nice grid, i was stumped by the drift connection (2 years, 6 months ago)

GP @ #64054: 0/10, a bit too niche for me! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Paul @ #64048: Broom/Hoover interchangable (2 years, 6 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64037: Please fact check your "English Towns". Suffolk is a county, Liverpool is a city, Punchbowl does not exist. Also "Ballroom" is not a dress - it's a ballgown. Otherwise, a good grid. Thanks. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64035: Good crossovers. Fun grid. Thanks :-) (2 years, 6 months ago)

Author @ #63837: Green Bay Packers (2 years, 6 months ago)

mal @ #64043: There were TOO many cross overs, which made it more luck than judgment as to whether you got it or not. Take a couple out, it will still be hard but be much better/more skilful. Good otherwise (2 years, 6 months ago)

Alex @ #64012: Oooo, I spent ages working out that last combination of clues. This was a great wall! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #64043: It's lovely but I must give it 1* because there are multiple possible solutions, therefore it is not a grid. From the given solution as it is now, you could put Gaga in the Macbeth Group, Justice in the Rocket group and Champions in the Love Group, giving the same 4 groups but with a different filling. I suggest you circumvent this by removing Macbeth and adding, for example, Dust. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Paul @ #64049: Well sus (2 years, 6 months ago)

bert @ #26502: certainly not "all white" massively ambiguous (2 years, 6 months ago)

Nivag @ #63815: I really messed this up. I must have been too tired. Nesh should also have been mesh. (2 years, 7 months ago)

anvil @ #63805: Please, no more palindromes! As soon as I see racecar or kayak, I know the palindromes are back!! (2 years, 7 months ago)

anvil @ #63820: Good grid, though the frost line aren't really all synonyms of each other. Frost is a noun (unless you're icing a cake in the US). The rest are verbs meaning to cool. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Fish @ #63808: Thought there were words ending with men's names there, wasted to much time trying to find the fourth name XD (2 years, 7 months ago)

Fish @ #63812: Les Dennis (uncertain) made me laugh (2 years, 7 months ago)

gridlington @ #34186: Tom, there was an accidental g added to "son" on the answer panel, but that should have been obvious as the answers were all explained in longhand. A clothespin is the American version of what the English call a clothes peg. (2 years, 7 months ago)

gridlington @ #63824: Very good - some nice red herrings in there too! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jesus @ #63802: Suffering through this grid is worse than being crucified (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jesus @ #63806: A bit too obscure in general (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jesus @ #63792: You've done it again, SugarPi (2 years, 7 months ago)

John @ #30573: A lot of these are technically not "points," but other units of scorekeeping. Golf, for example, tracks strokes, not points. Baseball tracks runs, not points. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Fred @ #63812: (2 years, 7 months ago)

dollymix @ #63793: "Green lentils" are a common variety of lentil so it seems like that and bean are interchangeable. You might want to swap "lentil" for "peanut" or something. (2 years, 7 months ago)

dangalf @ #63756: Fun!! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Mark Norman @ #63791: Great grid! More please! (2 years, 7 months ago)

b @ #58197: I don't know the shop All Saints, and identical clues doesn't work terribly well. Only OK. (2 years, 7 months ago)

b @ #63068: Very easy (2 years, 7 months ago)

RMP @ #63815: I think Pool is a typo or a mistake. There is no town of that name. (2 years, 7 months ago)

PeteC85 @ #63738: That was difficult! Thanks, managed 7/10. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Wordy @ #63808: I will add it, when you know you are right, just add he point. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jane @ #63808: Nice grid, but I lost out on 10 points because I put “angry” instead of “cross”! Any chance you could allow a bit more flexibility there? (2 years, 7 months ago)

RMP @ #63811: You need to expand acceptable answers for the Penthouse row to include the root of the words (2 years, 7 months ago)

b @ #63784: Just to leave the final letter off four colours is a bit tame really, isn't it. Then the crimson group : they are not synonyms for red, they are different shades of red. Sorry, but I've marked you down. (2 years, 7 months ago)

b @ #63765: Quite good, but I think you spoilt it by allowing "beet or beat". Would be better with four beats. (2 years, 7 months ago)

b @ #63763: I've heard of the man in the moon but the rest of that group are complete nonsense in my book. (2 years, 7 months ago)

murphykrama @ #63765: great. love it (2 years, 7 months ago)

George @ #63744: good one. Though I'm not great on poxy NFL teams (2 years, 7 months ago)

luz.shoe @ #63757: Thanks for the feedback - I found that category a bit tricky in the acceptable answers field but I have now updated it! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Yorkies! @ #63763: not bad (2 years, 7 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #63741: 'coins' (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ian @ #63753: Two groups with no literal connection is a bit underwhelming. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ryoso @ #63746: Ugh . . . You need advanced mathematics to have a chance at this, and while I'm sure hardcore math nerds will like it, I'm also sure that 90% of folks that try this puzzle will be utterly stumped or bored. This puzzle's a good argument for letting puzz writers categorize their work by subject if applicable and not just nationality, language, audio, visual. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Botkin hospital @ #32865: We need you in our hospital - it's so stupid (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #63741: I would have preferred it if you'd allowed 'dressmaking terms' as this is entirely accurate! (2 years, 7 months ago)

me @ #63743: Very difficult but well-made (2 years, 7 months ago)

me @ #63748: I was able to get all the groups just by their appearance, but I wasn't able to identify any of them. It's a nice grid but really shouldn't be public since it's all to do with mathematics instead of general knowledge. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Hal Jam @ #14334: Not unique. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ian @ #63725: Bit samey. But enjoyed. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Hamburger @ #63614: This is good. (2 years, 7 months ago)

murphykrama @ #63739: You should add "do re me" as an answer for the do-re-me one and "location" for the prepositions (2 years, 7 months ago)

Hamburger @ #63741: @Ian - Bush is a band. They had a hit with the song Glycerine. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Hamburger @ #63734: Good grid however Hell and Top are interchangeable. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Paul @ #63734: Top cat! (2 years, 7 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #63734: Difficult. Some of those clues fit to more than one group. Maybe worth an edit to fix. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Freddgar @ #63713: Excellent grid. Got some, failed on the rest. Fooled me with S and Crown. You win 10-3. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 7 months ago)

muffin @ #63614: Not so sure about "back", but thanks for your feedback. Tried to go on the easy side for those who enjoy feeling (easily) accomplished :) (2 years, 7 months ago)

b @ #63681: A bit plain and simple, even though I'd only heard of one dog, so I don't know where you found the claimed fame of the others. I agree with others about composers (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ian @ #63681: Ditto. (2 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #63645: I think it's a bit more than Hamburger said. It's not only that this doesn't work; it's that no matter what your categories it will probably never work. (2 years, 7 months ago)

b @ #63672: Leif is not a homophone for Leith unless you've got a speech defect. I marked you down for that. (2 years, 7 months ago)

John @ #63680: Appropriate - never heard any of them used in that manner. Then realised what it meant. Doh. Loved the other groups (2 years, 7 months ago)

Tilly @ #63518: Nice (2 years, 7 months ago)

Helga @ #24263: Nice grid. Enjoyed learning new words for cattle ! (2 years, 7 months ago)

bert @ #39526: a midge is not a termite, its a flying biting insect like a gnat / mosquito (2 years, 7 months ago)

Paul @ #63681: they are certainly not known as musicians (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #63681: Not a bad grid, but allowable answers are a little poor. One group is not really musicians but composers. in all of them you should allow singular forms - just miss off the 's' and both will be accepted. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ian @ #63655: Very nice. Didn't see the vowel thing! Doh! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Hamburger @ #63645: Yeah nah, this doesn't work. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Freddgar @ #63672: Homophones???? (2 years, 7 months ago)

Paul @ #63668: When one group is made up of the only four options that are real people, you don't need any more specific connection. (2 years, 7 months ago)

jenn @ #63587: it might be helpful for the the "connection" answers to be multiple choice to allow for correct points gathering enjoyable game : ) (2 years, 7 months ago)

HeroComplex @ #63645: As Paul mentioned, V could swap with C and M leaving valid groups; U (and potentially Y) could swap with at least O and I directly; and O could also do a chain swap replacing J/R/C, which replace U, which replaces O. It's a cool idea for a grid, but since it leaves the clues all so open-ended, I think it's especially important that the solution be pristine/unique. (Also the C category is accurate, but without something to signal it, definitely harder than the others to come up with, as it's less about the letters themselves.) (2 years, 7 months ago)

George @ #63640: well I managed to solve the grid without knowing why apart from the numbers! Didn't get all the connections. (2 years, 7 months ago)

b @ #61813: Nice idea, but a trifle off the beat : these are just strings of words, not connections (2 years, 7 months ago)

b @ #61458: Just too easy, and just to jumble up the letters of a word four different ways is a bit tame really, isn't it. (2 years, 7 months ago)

b @ #63289: OK, just made me think enough. (2 years, 7 months ago)

b @ #63415: Really rather too easy (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ragdoll @ #63638: Great grid, but 'home' wasn't accepted for the 'house' group (2 years, 7 months ago)

Swordfish7 @ #1183: Forsyth NOT Forsythe (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ryan @ #63637: Yeah, I dunno about that "bold" category. They are not all synonyms for bold, in fact I wouldn't even consider two of them adjectives. Someone can be cheeky or "have the nerve" to do something, but you wouldn't describe someone as "cheek" or "nerve." Also, fresh is a bit of a stretch (2 years, 7 months ago)

anvil @ #63638: The hidden numbers one is getting a tad over-used. Like the anagrams one. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Helga @ #39988: Nice grid.Good mix. (2 years, 7 months ago)

bob @ #63582: could do with some work on the accepted answers - the repeat category should accept "synonyms" as they are all synonyms. Also didn't fully understand your actual answer for it. The rest was fine - keep it up! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Xander @ #62451: Might be helpful to add DC to the Arrowverse answer, as those are all based on DC comics universe overall. Arrowverse is a small portion of DC and lots of people will guess DC since another category in this puzzle in Marvel. (2 years, 7 months ago)

kifko @ #36984: great grid :) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #63466: Very specific to certain fields, like many of the grids you created today. This one in particular contains an awful lot of items I've never heard of, like most of the peanut and popcorn phrases. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #63512: Nice one. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #63503: @Hal Ham, I can't see any obvious substitutions, seems unique to me. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ben @ #63486: Nice grid, the OC category should accept quiz shows though (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #63477: Good one, the red herrings are particularly fiendish, never heard of the apollo one, for example, so it didn't seem to fit with the other three. Got them all in the end mainly by a process of elimination. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #63503: Nice and simple, couple of red herrings kept it interesting. (2 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #63304: I think it's unfair to say there are no red herrings - I was thinking yellow card from football/rugby, and even tried blackhouse before I found the more obvious black set. Not difficult, but hardly bad! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Mike @ #63482: Answer inputs are too restrictive, in person Victoria could ask you to elaborate, it's not really your fault (PuzzGrid really should let you get a "be more specific prompt" if you get in the right ballpark) but it's frustrating to be on the right lines but not get the answer just because the game wanted something specific, (2 years, 7 months ago)

SnCold710 @ #63362: Never knew Mesmerize was an eponym! Great grid. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Freddgar @ #63444: @fi The Blue Meanies are a fictional army of fierce though buffoonish music-hating beings and the main antagonists in the surreal 1968 Beatles animated film Yellow Submarine.

Arthana @ #11728: rabbit (2 years, 7 months ago)

Gridlington @ #63453: Good grid, but a doe is a female deer (as in the song!) not a baby deer. A baby deer is a fawn (or occasionally calf or kid). I'm not sure what "taking a L" when you lose is... (2 years, 7 months ago)

Mike @ #63449: I know "words that can add X to the end" is a staple of these grids but so many words end in "ing" that it doesn't seem like a real category to me, especially since all the words in the category also end in "ect", which is more distinctive. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Malcolm @ #63203: bit mixed up re singular and plural in two groups (2 years, 7 months ago)

SnCold710 @ #63312: FI*TE needs to be FI*E, or change the answer to "ni" and fix the other members of the group. Great grid otherwise! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Horatio @ #63304: Just a really bad grid - there are over 60,00 grids on the site, did it not occur to you that maybe someone (or about 5,000 people) would have devised a rudimentary colour grid with no red herrings? Sorry to be harsh if you are a child or brand new to the site, but really - and Grid of the Day? Pffffhh! (2 years, 7 months ago)

b @ #63206: Nice idea (2 years, 7 months ago)

b @ #63268: I'm quite happy with big pharma - it is, as Trixie says, common usage for the prescription medicines business. But the skinny group is poor. Skinny love, skinny dog? Where have they come from? So I marked you down. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Smitten @ #63212: Nice grid. The game of "Rock Paper Scissors Spock Lizard" was invented by a software engineer named Sam Kass, who outlined the rules and hand gestures on his website in 1998. It is used in "The Big Bang Theory" but it isn't 'their version'. I would be nice to have the full titles of the books in the More Info, Thanks - :-D (2 years, 7 months ago)

Smitten @ #63213: Nice Grid - some really good red herrings. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Smitten @ #63217: Nice grid. I liked the links and the overlaps. Sit and Down are interchangeable though, so there is more than one possible resolution. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Smitten @ #63218: Great grid - nice overlaps (2 years, 7 months ago)

Smitten @ #63230: Lots of fun! Many thanks. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Smitten @ #63247: Some good overlaps. Agree with the other comments about Graeme and Lore. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Smitten @ #63250: Nice grid - some good overlaps. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Smitten @ #63256: Good grid. I liked the links. Didn't get the picture link - it was a little broad. Thanks. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Smitten @ #63259: I liked this grid. I didn't get one of the links. I don't see distance as a derivative of displacement in anything I've looked up online. Please could you cite a source? Thanks (2 years, 7 months ago)

Plod @ #63266: stjohn, yes I meant Robinson but wrong description, meant the boxer. Doh! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Smitten @ #63261: Really hard - a lot of overlapping answers. I liked the links. Thanks. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Smitten @ #63268: Loved this grid. I didn't know the terms, skinny dog or skinny love. But the connection came to me from jeans and latte. Every day is a school day. Thanks :-D (2 years, 7 months ago)

Smitten @ #63281: Great grid - many thanks (2 years, 7 months ago)

Tilly @ #33876: Wonder why, twice you used my name (2 years, 7 months ago)

Dominykas Cibulskis @ #40302: Hello madam, yes I left a comment because I realized that you are, indeed, a female AND a gamer (which is extremely rare in today's society). I would like to make a proposal - I am a single, yet highly intelligent gamer (I play games like Europa Universalis IV and puzzgrid). Feel free to respond when you have plenty of time, which I'm sure you don't because you're obviously a very attractive and intelligent female (which I say POggers to) so we can meet up for chips and fish. If we ever do meet up in real life (which I'm hoping for :D) I'll be the one in the kitchen! P.S. I am into furries ;) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Swordfish7 @ #807: no crossovers, too easy (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #63257: Couldn't sort the monkeys and airlines. Not your fault! Good grid. (2 years, 7 months ago)

SnCold710 @ #63258: The Arabic script group did not accept "language" as an answer, just FYI :) (2 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #63266: c's were tough, did you mean Robertson instead of Robinson? not that it really matters. (2 years, 7 months ago)

b @ #62441: Didn't like your niche PC-centric market-place. Just too obscure, so I've marked you down. The rest was OK, even if there were similarities between 2 groups. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Tilly @ #63268: I appreciate the compliment using my "handle" - oh, that's right, I don't. Are you scared to use one of your own? (2 years, 7 months ago)

b @ #62413: That's an OK grid (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ben @ #27283: I lost my kids to this stupid quiz. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Trillium @ #63257: 👍 (2 years, 7 months ago)

J @ #63268: Heard of big pharma. Never heard of skinny dog. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Trixie @ #63268: skinny dog is term for greyhound, big harma is what drug/medicine industry is commonly called. (2 years, 7 months ago)

mattymungbean @ #63268: Skinny Dog ?????? Big Pharma ?????? (2 years, 7 months ago)

Paul @ #63260: great one! (2 years, 7 months ago)

bert @ #33608: maybe change the "died this year" to the actual year, now its not "this year" any longer !! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Bathfood @ #54235: The bowel group was killer! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #63260: Nice grid. You misspelled Thief. (2 years, 7 months ago)

George @ #63260: The spelling of thief (theif) through me out a little (2 years, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #63247: The Law/Lore thing is entirely down to accent, in standard British English, and most regional accents in England, the r isn't sounded - it just modifies the o, as the w modifies the a in law. In American, Irish and Scottish accents the r is sounded. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Bathfood @ #27169: Camper group was brilliant. But... What's India Green? Google only shows things that are both green and India. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #63262: Even with the rather dubious connections it's not a unique solution. Not good. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Daz @ #63261: if the run one wasnt there this would be a good wall.....bu it was and it was just stoopid (2 years, 7 months ago)

Bathfood @ #55697: Nice concept. Well executed. Thanks. (2 years, 7 months ago)

IH8GrumpyOldMen @ #63250: Yes, it’s in Istanbul… (2 years, 7 months ago)

Avenger @ #10502: I agree with Chris. Not the best. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jane @ #63247: Nice grid, but it took me a while to get the garden one because Graeme was spelt incorrectly! (2 years, 7 months ago)

J @ #63247: Agree with nighteyes. Intrusive r should not be allowed for homophones. Law and lore not pronounced the same unless intrusive r is used. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #63246: Excellent grid, Fun. A couple of good crossovers. Thanks :-) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #63240: Now I know what a pipkin is. (2 years, 7 months ago)

b @ #63250: Blue Mosque? (2 years, 7 months ago)

b @ #62729: I'm not into opera, I don't know who Steig is meant to be . . . . no, poor one this, in my opinion (2 years, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #63247: Law and lore are no more homophones than paw and pore. Look it up. (2 years, 7 months ago)

eBarnz @ #63150: I would hardly call Valorant an obscure video game at the moment. (2 years, 7 months ago)

eBarnz @ #63174: I loved the consecutive consonant group! (2 years, 7 months ago)

eBarnz @ #63220: Most chess sets are made of plastic, and paper/tables are only sometimes made of wood. (2 years, 7 months ago)

eBarnz @ #63245: Ace Attorney characters might be a little too niche for a general grid, otherwise great job! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #63132: Nice and easy. Welll organised. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #63235: Loads of red herrings. Took me four tries. Thank you. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Gridlington @ #63247: Graham Garden is spelt "Graeme" (2 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #63215: Found this very straightforward. Needs red herrings- clues that look like they appear in another group- to be interesting. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #63088: Good, but I've not seen lammergeier spelled that way. Perhaps lammergeyer.. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #63235: Good one (2 years, 7 months ago)

eBarnz @ #63235: Really good grid! (2 years, 7 months ago)

jim @ #63215: Just fine (2 years, 7 months ago)

jim @ #62692: I like a nice easy one from time to time. Looks to me like some folk have been picky with their comments, and that's not justified. (2 years, 7 months ago)

jim @ #62822: I'll assume the farm animal is goose, not moose (2 years, 7 months ago)

jim @ #63096: An OK grid (2 years, 7 months ago)

Feza @ #54760: Good one but needed wide-range of knowledge. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Feza @ #54952: Fun, thanks. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Bathfood @ #63235: Oh my. This is great. Those homophones are perfect. Well done, and ty. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Bathfood @ #5795: It amuses me when people complain about the semantics of the answers. If you know you got it right, award yourself the marks and feel good. The website doesn't track our scores! Nice grid. Ty (2 years, 7 months ago)

Bathfood @ #5344: Great fun. So many crossovers! It wasn't until I found my fourth connection (Keith etc), that I was able to work backwards, eliminate the herrings, and solve the groups. Well crafted. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 7 months ago)

James Finster @ #63235: Great job! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Wade @ #8923: Nice grid. Should accept en for the latin terms. (2 years, 7 months ago)

b @ #63070: I don't like characters with a letter changed. I think it's a bit of a cop-out because you can't find anything better to include in your grid. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #63202: Great grid! (2 years, 7 months ago)

b @ #63128: Linking Josephine Baker with Joe Biden is stretching things somewhat. (2 years, 7 months ago)

swedbank @ #63227: good job m8 (2 years, 7 months ago)

Hey_Buddy @ #63217: Nice, although *Spoiler below* You could also hold the one group as well! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Avenger @ #10496: Sort this out - got the connections but all marked incorrect. Not good. They should let you see the reviews before doing these. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Gridlington @ #63215: I agree with bouldersaur - when I saw "level" I thought "oh please, not more palindromes". But I didn't spot the other ones! I was looking for racecar, rotor, kayak etc! Very good. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Gridlington @ #63229: Pretty good - you really have to know your music though. I got the "If I were a boy" group by assuming the link was "solo female artistes". I couldn't make the others work. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Craven @ #54971: Liked it (2 years, 7 months ago)

woolgathrer @ #63215: Thank you, mal. Corrections made! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jesus @ #15124: kiss my piss (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #63225: 'Alps' is not a place in France - the mountain range spans three more countries (arguably more) which all have more of the Alps within their borders than France. Alsace and Burgundy are huge regions, not places per se, whereas Rocamadour is a just a pretty little tourist village. (2 years, 7 months ago)

David Poupe @ #63221: You could also put an F before all of them: Flog, Flack, Feat, Farts (2 years, 7 months ago)

Rustic @ #63058: Great jorb! (2 years, 7 months ago)

7ovana @ #63206: Basic mathematical operations should be accepted. They aren't functions, they are operations. (2 years, 7 months ago)

bruh @ #63220: Chess made of wood is kind of a yucky clue. (2 years, 7 months ago)

7ovana @ #63225: "Board" works just as well as "Pack" for that group. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #54971: Thank you everyone for the support. I'm so happy you enjoyed the puzzle, I had so much fun making it! ♥ (2 years, 7 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #63058: Wonderful job. I loved all the elements you used to make a successful puzzle. Always love puzzles with an overarching theme! You did a great job! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #63215: I really like how you took a common connection (the palindrome) and provided examples that are not often used. It's usually something I pick up on immediately, but you disguised them so well! (2 years, 7 months ago)

haywood @ #63168: Thoughtful grid (2 years, 7 months ago)

haywood @ #63132: more US presidents and states, yet again, yawn, maybe time to think of something new? (2 years, 7 months ago)

SnCold710 @ #63168: I really like this one, but the Gretzky one was too much of a stretch I think. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ade @ #63168: Lovely. Enjoyed that. Thank you (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ade @ #63154: Nice n easy fun grid. Thank you (2 years, 7 months ago)

nitpicker @ #63168: Nice concept! Yes, and please check Hemingway. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ade @ #63157: Nice. Thank you (2 years, 7 months ago)

Kitty @ #63168: Fun theme, TY! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Hey_Buddy @ #63161: Nice, spoiler below need to put "synonym" for maroon group (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ade @ #63151: So do I. Nice grid. Thank you (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ade @ #63143: Not at all sure what that comment was about. Liked the grid though. Thank you Neha (2 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #63159: keeping in line with other comment I didn't get the body connection (only 4 left) and went wrong on that. Liked it when I saw it and so put high quality but hard. (2 years, 7 months ago)

sandy @ #63160: two flings (2 years, 7 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #63159: Thank you - nice easy one for Friday! Body one good but seemed to jump out at me. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Trixie @ #63151: Yes I think that is a better word too Brinky (2 years, 7 months ago)

Brinky @ #63151: Excellent the only one I do not like is Essex which only works if you pronounce it Essix which I know some do. coccyx? (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #63150: Really annoying when you throw in references to some obscure video game, and don't even bother to say what it is in the answer description. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #63153: I liked this one. Not _quite_ as simple as it first seemed, took me into the third minute to get them all. Well done. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Bathfood @ #45401: Lovely. Thanks. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Freddgar @ #63146: Good grid, nice mix of clues 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jolt @ #63106: Not a unique solution, Bengal and Lion could be swapped: both cats, and both NFL teams. (2 years, 7 months ago)

mal @ #63106: I agree with Daupo (2 years, 7 months ago)

Freddgar @ #63132: Nice and easy grid, lots of red herrings 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 7 months ago)

Pigeon @ #63122: It's all tricks, not playable for me (2 years, 7 months ago)

Person @ #63131: One group is too obscure while another is too basic. Matching words in answers should be less limited/strict. (2 years, 7 months ago)

SkopiCat @ #63131: A nice try but not a Hard one. Gold & Silver are Elements not stones. Ancient could be China or Britain - not always Egypt. The last one, yes they are all countries ...but for a Hard, you need a bit more that links them together. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Dave @ #63129: Cheers ears! (2 years, 7 months ago)

kyrla @ #54971: this is the best grid of all time (2 years, 7 months ago)

RMP @ #63123: Utterly defeated me! Please put in the answers as well as the links? (2 years, 7 months ago)

felix888 @ #63127: Enjoyable. Thanks (2 years, 7 months ago)

Fred @ #13152: Fred West as one of the links - bad taste! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Fred @ #8618: Wheat is incorrect? (2 years, 7 months ago)

honeyhoney @ #63105: (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #63124: Nice and simple, apart from the white group, given that two of them are far from common expressions and practically anything physical can be preceded by it. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Tilly @ #63118: fun, confetti time (2 years, 7 months ago)

Gaz @ #63119: VIOLET?????? (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jim @ #63120: (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #63113: All well-used connections, over-used even. Violet is only a cluedo character in the French version, BTW. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #63086: This is not quite the worst puzzle I have ever played, but comes very close. What the hell is pro disc golf anyway? (2 years, 7 months ago)

Mike @ #63088: I Think that an anagram should spell another word. This is just a jumble of letters. Good on you for trying. (2 years, 7 months ago)

daupo @ #63084: I solved it, and three of the categories were interesting. The group that contains the Zebra is far too general. (2 years, 7 months ago)

daupo @ #63095: It might be my age, but I thought it was a good puzzle, but not a hard one. But I remember the '70s. (2 years, 7 months ago)

daupo @ #63106: Pretty nice, fair red herrings, I solved it but it took time. I think the correct answer for the tundra, etc. group is too restrictive. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jar Freeman @ #63035: Great Square (2 years, 7 months ago)

RMP @ #63090: In addition to the problems mentioned by Robert Crawley, the Chow chow is a breed , whereas the others are species. Also I think you mean "can precede" not "can be preceded by" for the sloth / moon etc. row. I have never heard of a "bear sloth" but I have heard of a "sloth bear" (2 years, 7 months ago)

Swordfish7 @ #63075: Nice (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jar Freeman @ #63088: fadge! (2 years, 7 months ago)

RMP @ #63095: Nice grid, but that's not how you spell Foreigner (2 years, 7 months ago)

RMP @ #63096: Nice grid, but that's not how you spell Catullus (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jar Freeman @ #63090: FAKE! (2 years, 7 months ago)

RMP @ #63088: I usually try to avoid spoilers, but there seem to be plenty here already. I like the idea, but a "shield" is not a weapon - it is the opposite of a weapon. That row is armour, not weapons. There is no such bird as a Lammergia. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Tilly @ #63096: What a wonderful........ (2 years, 7 months ago)

mal @ #63088: It's a ''lammergeier'' not a ''lammergia'' ( also your category wouldn't accept 'weapon' for 'weapons' and the breakfast foods didn't take either) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #63096: A nice grid with no need for niche knowledge. (2 years, 7 months ago)

BailOrgana @ #63085: I'm not sure I buy "Kentucky" as a method of cooking a chicken. Kentucky Fried, is of course, but that would give the grouping away. Maybe "Popcorn" might be a better choice? (2 years, 7 months ago)

JB @ #63090: Doesn't accept 'bear', 'planet', 'god' or 'china'. So no idea what you've put as the acceptable answers. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Robert Crawley @ #63090: Good groups, but it suffers from two of the groups being almost completely interchangeable. Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Neptune, Uranus and Saturn can all fit into two of the groups, and there's no way to tell which should be in which, so there's not a unique solution. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Rustic @ #63075: Well made. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Bathfood @ #29884: Perfect challenge. Lots to think about, but can be worked through, without some obscure knowledge. Thanks. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Cristobal @ #63029: Nobody mentioned Ridings, RMP! There is a South Yorkshire and a North Yorkshire. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Bathfood @ #44630: Perfect fun. Thanks. (2 years, 7 months ago)

barry womble @ #63088: Fantastically enjoyable grid. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ey @ #63088: Sorry It was goldfinch and lammergia (2 years, 7 months ago)

Will Taylor @ #63088: Fantastic and very enjoyable. Would help if you gave the answers for the anagrams though - no idea what Mmarlegia could be and had to google Foglinchd (2 years, 7 months ago)

Wordsworth @ #63087: Great grid. Spoiler below: Could you allow either "ebook" or "electronic reader" for one of the lines? (2 years, 7 months ago)

ScaptainSky @ #63086: This is worst puzzle I have ever played. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Fly @ #63070: Some of the groups don't take correct answers, such as bring together for the merge group (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #63070: Enjoyed this. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jesus @ #17153: FUUUUUUUCK (2 years, 7 months ago)

SnCold710 @ #63082: I love mewithoutYou, but that might be a bit too niche for a grid! All of these are a little too specific, actually. (2 years, 7 months ago)

SnCold710 @ #63076: I enjoyed this one. Andrew Bird is a well known musician. He has also acted, notably in the most recent season of the series Fargo! And true, there are many Jacks, but that's part of the puzzle! You have to realize what group you're looking for to think of Sparrow. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Dave @ #63062: Damn you and damn your popes, too! :-) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jesus @ #63058: A grid that is fun instead of arrogant Wikipedia trolling, bless you, my child (2 years, 7 months ago)

Smitten @ #63020: Rated as not great - so not appearing in default search - no comments - removed. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #63075: Composers worked for me! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #63075: Spot on. Red herrings. Not stupidly obscure! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Smitten @ #63064: Rated as poor with no comments - so removed. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #63076: One group let's this down. How many Jacks are There? And wbo is Andrew Bird? (2 years, 7 months ago)

Stephen Grant @ #63075: I typed in Composer for last group and it said I was incorrect. (2 years, 7 months ago)

SF7 @ #63070: Could maybe do with a little more crossover. Solved it all within 20 seconds as its a little obvious! Good grid for sure but maybe just needs a bit more challenge. (2 years, 7 months ago)

barry womble @ #63067: Great. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #63065: berg is a term for a mountain, sometimes used in place names, but not stemming from the same root as burg, which is what I think you're thinking of. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #63063: Nice grid. Some good overlaps. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62525: 7/10 Damn. I need to mug up on my Scissor Sisters. Thanks :-D (2 years, 8 months ago)

nitpicker @ #63058: nice theme (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62604: Great grid. My lack of knowledge of Eastenders and Salinger stopped me separating out the names, but you can't know everything. :-D (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #63050: Empty sea, > is commonly used to mean moving to the right. The rest of your comments, yeah, I agree. Tenuous links made worse by errors (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #63062: Love this grid. All those papal names, so many red herrings. Please could you give the full names of the boxers in the More info? I didn't know all of them. `Thanks. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #63052: Another hard one. I liked the metals group - but I think you mean Tina Fey. Hidden tools - Bowie is a type of knife, and there is no link between the others. I think if you're going to hide them, the relationship needs to be more obvious - all garden implements would work: fork, spade, hoe, rake? Hidden Avengers - Ant McPartlin just doesn't work. Finding 'Man' in that is way too hard. There is a film director Antony Mann, who might work better. I liked the 'Bob' group. I think this is a good grid - with a couple of tweaks. IMHO. :-D (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #63050: A hard one. I am confused by a couple: "M T C" I'm not sure how that signifies the corresponding phrase; "X+X=>" to me reads "ex plus ex equals greater than" I get that 'x' can stand for wrong but I don't see how '>' signifies right. Would "W+W=R or x+x=[unicode character for the tick symbol - if PuzzGrid supports it?] be better? The date you have entered in Roman Numerals is 3888. I assume you meant MDCCCLXXXVIII, and I think you mean to define it as the longest date in the common era SO FAR expressed in Roman numerals? Your longest word doesn't word wrap when the puzzle is loaded so it gets truncated. I would suggest modifying it to include a couple of hyphens and manual returns. I liked the Grid. There were just those few things that made it harder to solve than I think you intended. Thanks :-D (2 years, 8 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #63054: Good grid. Thanks :-) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Sean @ #50206: literally would have never gotten the sailboat, wonderful puzzle. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #63040: The can was canny, the money was funny, but the saints? Pick a name, any name, and you'll find a saint among the 10000+ the RC church lists. Try making it just patron saints of countries or activities or something. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #63035: Nice Grid, Good overlapping answers. The music was just my era. :-D (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #63038: 1/10 I found this very hard. Three groups that are "precedes / follows a word type", and one group where you have to change a letter in each word to make the link, made it too difficult for my brain to know where to start. Fiendish. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #63029: Great Grid, some good overlapping answers. Missed one link. Thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #63038: Not bad, but the country/person one was way over-complicated, I got it without the letter thing and thankfully 'person' was allowed. (2 years, 8 months ago)

squareeyes @ #63010: Ace, are you quite sure of your facts here? I am pretty certain I've read a Peter Wimsey story where they drink "Grand Imperial Tokay." (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #63018: Lovely Grid. Some great overlapping answers. Really enjoyed it. Just to note, the Dickens' character is spelt Fezziwig. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #63017: Nice Grid. I didn't know enough to get the two groups or links associated with American sport. :-D (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62998: I did my best and managed to get two groups and three links. Lack of REM knowledge stymied me. Thanks. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #63015: Great grid. I loved the overlapping answers. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #63014: 5/10. Got one group and the links after it resolved, but didn't know enough of the films group them in the time. Challenging. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #63010: Hard! I failed utterly. I loved the towns group. I think I just need better general knowledge for the others. Fiendish. :-D (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #63006: Great grid, I only failed on the final link, I don't know the works of that author. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #63016: @Ace - thanks for the feedback. I've added 'cardinal' and 'direction' to the linking terms. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #63014: Only 4/10. Spotted all the connections early on but each group had one that I'd never heard of. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #63016: Too clever for me. Some of the clues are expressions or people? (or film, per google) I've never heard of, especially the seasons. Oh, and the compass one could a) be more precise if you specified Cardinal points and b) allow "direction" as a valid answer as well. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #63016: @SF7 Wow! Many thanks. (2 years, 8 months ago)

SF7 @ #63016: Probably my proudest 10 I've ever gotten on this website! Great grid, nicely done (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #63009: Two decent groups, two not so good, the symbols and particularly the chimney one. Too obscure/niche. But thanks for posting. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Rustic @ #63006: Nicely set (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #63010: Tokay is a grape variety, not a drink. Other groups are rather contrived and/or obscure, apart from the towns. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tilly @ #63001: I only recognised eight of the names lol (2 years, 8 months ago)

Movie Buff @ #63001: In the end happy to get 2/10 (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62407: Nice concept. I got two groups and all the connections. I just didn't know enough of the names to make the final two groups correctly. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62427: @ Fred - The scarlet red jackets fox hunters wear are known as 'hunting pinks' not because of the colour but because of a tailor named Pinks who were considered the best maker. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62430: Haha - I actually managed to get one line on my second set of clicks! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62432: Great Grid - some fiendish red herrings. Thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62578: Very hard. I agree with Ace, some of these are just too obscure. I think the numbers groups could work if you changed "Tutu" to "As well or overly much" meaning 'too' which would give you: too, fore, ate, nein. I liked the professions group. I found the male name group very confusing - one of your explanations seems to not even relate to any of the answers "Dan- level or writer" I like the letter group concept, but perhaps the clues could be easier: "The English drink" for T(ea) maybe, "Old Flame or Roman 10" for (e)X, "A sting in the tail" for B(ee), "Form an orderly one" for Q(ueue) I hope this doesn't sound too meddlesome. Just my thoughts. I liked the concept. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Paul @ #62999: Loved it! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62687: Awesome Grid - I love the overlapping answers and the links between links. Many thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62729: Nice Grid - I got all the groups and three of the links. Failed on opera. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #63004: Oo - I LOVED this grid. Some really brilliant overlaps and great links. Many thanks. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62999: Sneaky, but the time group is a bit weak; only one of them is inherently a measure of time. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62845: Loved this grid. Good red herrings. I got all the groups, but the written communication group foxed me. Thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62987: Nice Grid. Loved seeing "The Crystal Maze" referenced. Some nice red herrings too. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62991: Fun Grid - I liked the overlaps. I was able to get them all and the links and enjoy my confetti. :-D (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #63000: That was hard! I only managed two groups and two links. Thanks. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62994: Great Grid, the overlapping answers had me foxed. I only managed one group and two links. Challenging. Thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

Not Important @ #62963: you are a real genius for the red herring group. :) (2 years, 8 months ago)

film buff @ #63001: **Fiendish - only for the dedicated!! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Trixie @ #62974: Tilly, just tuck it away for a couple of weeks and then resurrect it. I'm sure you will do a better job! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #62990: McEwen is wrongly spelt in the grid. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62995: Good Grid, some nice overlapping answers. Thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62996: Wow, that was a tough one. I only got one group and link. Need to mug up on Latin and National Flags. Thanks for the challenge. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62993: Thanks Ace, I’ve corrected it. (2 years, 8 months ago)

dangalf @ #62992: Nice! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ant @ #62982: Nice grid, thank you (2 years, 8 months ago)

Cuffers @ #51755: Haha, this was the tits! (2 years, 8 months ago)

samson @ #62980: They are all purely visual substitutions. No consistency involved (or needed). The use of upper and lower case letters (at random) is solely a means to further obscure the words, so that they are not so obvious. Thanks for doing my grid! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62992: Great grid, some nice overlaps. I missed the playing field connection, so only got 7/10. Thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62993: Nice grid. You've mixed up your answers and left James in the DJ group instead of Grimshaw. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62986: Video game characters are not "famous", and your noble gas group is just unbelievably contrived, a step too far. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62990: Nice and simple, no red herrings, easy confetti. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Sarahs @ #62971: We loved these grids - very entertaining, but this one was just too obscure for us. There seems to be a problem with grid 62972 - it wouldn't let us complete the connections so we couldn't rate it, but it would have been 5 stars again. Would have loved to have seen the answers to the ones we didn't get. Thank you for the fun (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62976: I'm a farmer, so Bluetongue is well know to me. But after a bit of feedback, I have changed the grid to include a term that is more common in everyday life. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62975: I'm a farmer, so Bluetongue is well know to me. But after a bit of feedback, I have changed the grid to include a term that is more common in everyday life. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tilly @ #62974: Smashing grid, shame it has been marked down, cannot understand why. I will now scrap the one I have been compiling which was pretty much the same. Thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

datroof @ #62982: One of your best. Enjoyed it! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Jesus @ #19437: This is the worst grid in existence, and I just did one with some dumbass puzzgrid animal garbage (2 years, 8 months ago)

Jesus @ #19550: The puzzgrid animal one was garbage. Some people have never submitted a puzzle. Next time, try something Harry Potter (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62982: Great Grid, took some solving. Love the overlapping answers. Thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #30596: Fun Grid - I liked the overlapping answers. Thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

SF7 @ #62976: It's not bad - couple of changes I'd suggest... 1. To accept something like 'phrase' for the Churchill speech as its much more commonly known as a phrase and would be a very obscure linking term to come up with Churchill speech. The other is bluetongue (to my knowledge) is an obscure disease only found in animals and really only known in South Africa. Just a little too obscure for me. Happy to be corrected of course. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62980: Maybe I'm too old, but I don't understand the substitution of capitals and numbers for certain letters, and that is not explained anywhere in the More info. Also your alternative alphabet in not applied consistently. For example: 1 represents 'l' in p001, but 'i' Raf1q and Hab1b. 0pibn1 includes 1 representing an 'i' but also includes an ''i'. This made it very difficult to decipher the different words. Maybe it just needs some tweaking. :-D (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62838: Brilliant Grid, so much fun to solve. Great job. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62970: Great Grid - as a Brit I didn't know the football sketch link - but I got the group. Thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ade @ #62744: Brilliant. 10/10 for both is us. Thank you Raven (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ade @ #62964: Properly good grid. Thank you Kitty (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62744: Great grid - the 'last word' group beat me. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62782: Great overlaps. A really fun grid to do. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62960: Totally foxed me! I only got two of the links. Great grid. Thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

squareeyes @ #61228: dix out of dix pour moi! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62975: Thanks for your feedback @Ragman and @Freddgar, I have corrected the misspelling. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62976: Thanks for your feedback @Ace, I have corrected the misspelling and changed the the words category to include a connection as you suggested. I hope this makes for a better grid. (2 years, 8 months ago)

dollymix @ #62970: I thought that group might be too obscure, but a) it's reasonably well known in the US, and I'm guessing that's their most famous sketch, b) I've seen groups from Monty Python sketches so there's some precedent, and c) the names are silly enough that I figure people can probably lump them together even if they don't know the connection. Fair enough on Lou Reed - I was trying to keep it to solo artists but had trouble coming up with a non-obscure one. I switched him out for Marc Bolan. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Helen @ #61228: Shouldn’t be with English grids! Although I solved it, and knew why, none of my answers were accepted. (2 years, 8 months ago)

RMP @ #62974: The "link" for the "guinan" row makes no sense. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Bathfood @ #62802: Fabulous fun. Thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

Bathfood @ #62960: Well constructed wall. Nicely judged. I liked the "level" reference. Haven't thought of them in years! And the hammer line was clever, too. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Bathfood @ #62964: Nice. Thank you. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Bathfood @ #62838: Nice concept. Well executed. Thanks. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Bathfood @ #55509: Kentucky line was very good. Thanks. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #62975: @ragman, I wondered that too. Googled it, I think it's a typo for tongue. There is a condition known as bluetongue. Bluetongue is an insect-borne viral disease to which all species of ruminants are susceptible, although sheep are most severely affected. It does not affect humans (phew) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ragman @ #62975: What's a Bluetounge / Blue tounge? ?? (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62976: Nice effort, but needs some work. Missing/extra letters are all very well, but they work better if there is some connection between the resulting words. Oh, and it spelled "Tongue" by the way. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Bathfood @ #16470: Excellent. Red herrings between the groups and a huge red herring of a spare group. Thanks for the tasty challenge! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ms Slink @ #62949: "round" is a property of a shape, not a shape itself. If I was to describe something as simply round with no other context, you wouldn't know if it was a flat circle, or an oval, or even a sphere. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Fred @ #62950: ditto fruit comment (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62974: Love the concept. I think your link explanations need correcting. I assume one of the links is Texas, but this isn't shown in More info. Also, is 'Kentucky Fried' a phrase on its own? I only know Kentucky Fried Chicken. Would Fried chicken be a better grid entry? Thanks for the puzzle. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62976: My apologies - I have submitted the same grid twice in error. I'm new to the site. Please forgive my error. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ade @ #62861: Nice n easy thank you charles (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62848: Great grid, love the overlapping answers. I think your bear group is fine. You say the link is "can be followed by" and Koala's are commonly referred to as Koala Bears - even though they aren't bears. Thanks for a fun puzzle. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62861: Great Grid with some good overlapping answers. I got two links and two categories. It was a lot harder than I thought. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62970: Oh, and being slightly pedantic, Reed was not Glam. Didn't matter for the answers, but still... (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62970: Would have been good, but the one group based around characters from a particular sketch from a particular comedy show that loads of people won't have heard of lets it down badly. (2 years, 8 months ago)

ScaptainSky @ #62968: This puzzle should not have been made (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #62967: It's Lewis Hamilton (2 years, 8 months ago)

mal @ #62949: The 'geometric shape' category doesn't quite work ( unsquare? And one round throwing it off?) , and Swayze's Wheat would be ''Sam'' rather than ''Ghost''. Good concept and interesting but could do with some tweaks (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62874: Really liked this grid. I definitely wasted time looking for the fourth 'Basil' so great red herrings. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62892: Great Grid. Loved the overlapping answers. I had never heard of Sun Bears or Sloth bears - so I learnt something new from this puzzle. Thank you. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62896: Great Grid, Some nice answers that cross categories. I was looking for a link beyond just towns. I was thinking are they all associated with food? Sometimes it is just a simple link. The words with moved initial letters totally fooled me. I thought they were places in a fantasy realm. :-D (2 years, 8 months ago)

BetteGridler @ #62915: Thanks Mr Hanks I've changed it! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62900: Good Grid, some nice overlapping answers. I don't agree that 'Golden' or 'Scarce' are synonyms of unusual. I can't find any dictionary definition that supports the use of either word in that way. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ryan @ #62921: "Associated with gaming" is a bit tenuous. I said "tech companies" (2 years, 8 months ago)

Brinky @ #62926: I liked this good work (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ryan @ #62957: Excellent grid. Recognized the Beatles songs thanks to Sadie but didn't know the final one (Michelle) however, and I got unlucky with some guesses, so I ended up with 7/10. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62915: Great and fun film grid. I loved the link between the links. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62943: Good Grid, I scored zero though. Couldn't get my brain to tap into the links. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62948: Good Grid, I didn't get all the groups or connections because I was anticipating they would all be Shipping Forecast related. But your links were great. This was hard - in a good way. :-D (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ade @ #62863: Liked the Trouble group though. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Kitty @ #62959: Fun and uncomplicated, a quick solve TY (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62949: Great Grid, I got two categories and three connections after it resolved. I love the format. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62958: Looks like you've deliberately thrown one clue into each group to try and throw everyone off. Spain in the sauce group is perhaps the worst, as all the others use the names as you've written them. Annoying. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Helen @ #62940: Hannah doesn’t have a female forename: it IS a female forename. What name is in education? (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62950: Good grid. some nice overlapping answers. I never get the Mario groups, but that's because I'm not a gamer. I entered fruit as the link work for the "Types of Fruits" group and got incorrect. Maybe add 'fruit' singular to the link category as well as 'fruits' pural. Just a suggestion. :-D (2 years, 8 months ago)

John @ #62949: Nice but one error - Willow in Buffy's surname is Rosenberg so that clue is a bit misleading (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62887: Fun approach - I enjoyed solving it. Can't believe I typed Lemon in the link box. Word blind, obviously. I had to settle for 7/10. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62889: Great grid - loved the overlapping answers. Missed the hidden birds, but happy with 7/10. (2 years, 8 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #62851: D, in NATO phonetic, Juliett has two 't's. Good grid, got my confetti. I think most setters have used a variant of the Evan group, so I spotted it quickly. Thanks! (2 years, 8 months ago)

D @ #62851: Why aren't Romeo and Juliet interchangeable here? (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62920: Some good categories and overlapping answers. Personally I don't think moving from East to West and turning left or changing to drive on the left are synonymous. So I don't think there is a clear common link between items in that category. I would propose changing two of the answers so that all items in that category concern East to West migration. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Dave @ #62920: Extra points for the Feivel Goes West reference 🐀 (2 years, 8 months ago)

Dave @ #62895: Damn, so obvious when you solve the grid but sadly I failed and got stuck on the loo! 🚽 "Ig" must have given me brain freeze ❄️ (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62910: I agree with Ace - some of your answers are interchangeable between categories. Russell Square and Bethnal Green could each go in the forenames category or the double letter category. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #54971: Loved this - the homonym link between the links was a really great touch. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #10186: Great grid. I nearly didn't get the last two categories in the three guesses until I saw the Carry On movies link. @Avenger The Village People line up was Ray Simpson (the policeman), Randy Jones (the cowboy), David Hodo (the construction worker), Felipe Rose (the Native American), Glenn Hughes (the leatherman) and Alex Briley (the soldier). Maybe do a simple google search and check the first result before being insulting. Just a suggestion. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62869: So impressed how you managed to get a Star Trek actor surname into each of the other categories. Great grid (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #2655: Loved the grid, nice lot of answers that span multiple links. And Bananarama's greatest hits. What's not to love. :-) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Kitty @ #62915: Quick and easy TY (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #62895: I thinkc' teetb' should be acceptable. Nice straightfworwd grid. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62915: Not bad. Managed to get there with seconds to spare, but was disappointed not to get full explanations for the answers, given that I guessed at five or six of them from just one half of the clue. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Leann @ #54971: This is definitely my favorite so far. Very well thought out! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62910: Not a unique solution. There are at least two compass point clues that could also go in first names, one of the colours could swap with one of the names, another name with ha compass point, etc. etc. Must be hundreds, at least, of possible solutions. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Nigel @ #62873: This one needs a correction to allow ‘pot’. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62873: Enjoyed this - got all the groups, only the pots link foxed me. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Nigel @ #62869: The phonetic alphabet set also work by making a new word in each case by adding the letter ‘P’. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62863: I agree with the other comments. "One letter away from" is a poor link, especially as three words require you to change a letter and one requires you to add a letter. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62218: Very hard. Only got one link after it resolved. Links all make sense though. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62203: Great grid - the final two categories foxed me. I did get all the links when it resolved. Some nice overlapping answers. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62197: Wow - that was hard. I didn't get any categories, but I did get all the links after it resolved. Yes I also loved the 'Red Beckham' and spent a few minutes looking everywhere for Brooklyn. :-D (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62194: I have to agree with Rich. Africa isn't a country. I think another film with a country in the title would work better. for example A Passage to (India) - 1984, or (China)-Town 1974. Just a thought. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62175: Wow - that was tough! I didn't get any groups or links. All made sense when I reviewed it at the end though. Very challenging. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62174: Great grid - I enjoyed solving it and I got all the links. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62173: Great grid - didn't get the kings - some good answers that fit more than one category so kept me guessing. @malcom Dwarves was coined by Tolkien and is used in his writings. The film is Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. So I think dwarfs is the correct plural form for the link in that category. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62171: A good grid - I didn't get the link on the last category and I agree with other comments that LACE is not a synonym for rope. I would suggest substituting a word that contains CORD. "Record" for example, which might also act as a 'red herring' along side CD and DVD. Just a suggestion. :-D (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62162: Challenging grid - I only got two categories and links - The Ingmar Bergman and foreign Oscar winners foxed me. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62159: Great grid - some good overlapping answers kept me guessing. Managed to get them all and the links - so I'm happy :-D (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62159: Just read the other comments. Agree Simon Reeve is a bit misleading. Maybe you could swap in Christopher? (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62906: Some of the group links are a little tenuous, "things related to" and you need to add shorter, simpler terms to your answers, like "shop" and (correctly-spelled) environment. And what is "poulluting" supposed to mean? I assumed it was a misspelling/typo, but you've got the correct spelling there as well, so what gives? (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62159: Great grid - some good overlapping answers kept me guessing. Managed to get them all and the links - so I'm happy :-D (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62157: Great grid - foxed me. I knew the Transporting actors and the baby animals - the other two - not a clue :-D (2 years, 8 months ago)

Smitten @ #62154: Great grid - I didn't know Tyler the Creator so that on stumped me. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Kitty @ #62907: "Words relating to adjectives"...?! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62861: I don't think a "unite" was ever a British currency. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62863: Yes, the fetal group idea isn't really in keeping, plus it's not, in itself, a real word outside of the US, most of the rest of the English-speaking world still retaining it's correct spelling of foetal. But TBH I think the grouping of a random group of French words was even worse than that. Obvious, in the context of the rest of the grid, but there's no link between them apart from being French. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62866: Nice idea, could be even better if you made the capitalisation more consistent. (2 years, 8 months ago)

huw @ #62893: What's WLLS??? I'm an idiot. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62897: Made much easier by four clues being names, got all the groups without initially knowing all the connections. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #62745: Good grid. Thanks :-) (2 years, 8 months ago)

nighttime @ #62889: Hen is not a type of bird but the female of any type of bird. And also of a lobster. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #62238: BTW Mystic Pizza is 1988, not 1998 Got it confused with Mystic River which is 2003. Oh well! Thanks for posting. :-) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #62376: Liked this a lot. Thanks :-) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #62848: Fun grid. Thanks :-) BTW, koalas aren't bears, they are marsupials (2 years, 8 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #62892: Fun grid. Easy. Thanks BTW, it's spelled "Phoenix" (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tyvent @ #62896: Hi, Spike. That's interesting . . . It's certainly true that trips > strip are anagrams. If hutec, onkh, and orrorsh were words (I double checked wiktionary, and they're not in there), clearly "anagram" would apply to the whole group. I would argue that anagram doesn't work, but there's an argument to be made that it would, so I'll be generous and add it. It's just points, after all :) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #62838: Fun grid - thanks :-) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #62854: Fun... thanks :-) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #62900: Good grid. Fresh. Thanks :-) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #62896: Hi Tyvent - please accept "anagrams" as an answer. Otherwise, fun grid. Thanks. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #62868: Fun - thanks :-) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62859: Yes, I've updated the description to include 1950s. No, it was the Hawker Hunter - like most of them the manufacturer's name may be added if desired but isn't always used. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Enzed @ #62873: I should have got 10 but doesn't accept the snooker term group in the singular. Worth including both with and without the S in the future (2 years, 8 months ago)

Avenger @ #10186: So when does Indigenous People not work (when you say Indigenous Peoples)? Numb nut. Wrong - Village People did not have a soldier character - the one you called a soldier was a construction worker. Total tosh Katz ... should be Dogz 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 (2 years, 8 months ago)

IH8GrumpyOldMen @ #62859: I think you’ll find the Hunter was introduced in the late ‘40s and ‘50s, not the ‘60s actually. Oh, and it’s called the Hunter-Hawker. (2 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #62843: Liked it, fell for the Katniss connection even though it didn't seem right so another 7 here. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #62843: Good grid, didn't have a clue on the Katniss row. Got the rest OK, but didn't know about glaring or bob , lucky guess. You win 10 - 7. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 8 months ago)

b @ #62838: Very good. Enjoyed getting 10/10 on this one. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #62830: Excellent. I couldn't do it. Good ideas, fake groups etc, and no swaps (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62813: Terrible. One of the most niche/obscure grids I've seen for a long time. The answers barely give even a clue as to what the clues mean. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #62823: Nice. Good groups. I was lucky to guess Enos fitted in my first group - clearing that helped solve the grid in 45s (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #62826: Good ideas, but, as Swan can be swapped with Page,or Carter there are at least three valid solutions. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #62828: Very good. Not too impossible once I got into the clues, but I did only have 25 seconds left after solving, and still don't understand 'use an uncle' at all (2 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #62804: I especially did not like that one. Obscure musical references are always a bad idea, because not everybody is into music, and, of those who are, not all will like a particular group, and even if they do, they may not be sufficiently expert as to get such connections. A good grid is one which could be got by anybody with a good enough general knowledge. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Kitty @ #62808: TY for the grid. 2 of the categories were straightforward but the others are dependent on in-depth knowledge of American sports. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Stephen @ #62804: well done. I especially liked the category containing Detroit (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62806: Quite simple apart from the Pop group, 3 out of which I have never heard of. (2 years, 8 months ago)

squareeyes @ #62766: Thanks for all the lovely feedback! Sorry JohnQ if you put in "ordinal" and it didn't work. Award yourself 10 anyway and I'll edit it.

Freddgar @ #62766: Very good 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ok @ #62768: A bit of advice: I’m not sure what you’ve put for your connecting terms, but it seems like you’ve really misunderstood how they work. You should have any key words that could explain the answer listed separately and should use the smallest part of each word where possible - e.g. I would put “geo” or “geograph” for “geographical features”, as that would cover your intended answer as well as any containing “geographical” or “geography” phrased in other ways, and I would also include some other related words people may use to describe the connection such as “land”. Accepting multiple linking terms is especially important when the answer is vague, like your “around town” group. Your key linking words for that should probably include town, city, shop, store, location, etc. to ensure that everyone who recognises the connection can be marked correct. (2 years, 8 months ago)

A @ #62766: Loved it, thank you! (2 years, 8 months ago)

JohnQ @ #62766: Great concept, but have to agree with snackula about African. "The Spanish Inquisition" or "The Danish Girl" maybe? Also add "ordinal" as a keyword for the numerical group? (2 years, 8 months ago)

count snackula @ #62766: Would have given it 5 stars, but strictly speaking 'African' is continental rather than national. I am a bit of a pedant though. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Daz @ #62764: yet another unpossibly vague and obscure one... (2 years, 8 months ago)

RMP @ #62745: Nice grid. I think you mean Afghan. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Mr. Ruth @ #62743: So true Ben but Liam I disagree. Also Wiccan is my favorite superhero. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62744: Excellent grid. The express link was frustrating, as a fan, but I just couldn't fathom it. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Liam @ #62733: What Eve said, number should also be acceptable. Additionally "talk" should be an acceptable answer you shouldn't require the word synonyms and not accept synonyms of the word. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Liam @ #62743: Not forces in physics but vectors in physics. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Paul @ #25294: Can be followed by "island", not precede? :-) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62749: @RMP I think they 'work' well enough - MT for example is used as an acronym/abbreviation in some industries, but I didn't like that there was no connection between the meaning of the words so spent ages trying to work it out. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ben @ #62743: They're not forces, more like terms related to movement in physics (2 years, 8 months ago)

RMP @ #62749: nice idea but some of them just don't work. MT and Quins especially. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Hamburger @ #62748: @Kit - I know it as creamy sometimes creaming, it might be different elsewhere. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Kit @ #62748: Is “creamy” supposed to be “cream”? :) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Daisy @ #62643: Thanks for the feedback! I realise homophones are always tricky across different accents but figured they’d be close enough to be recognisable. Also @Krista “spies” is there as a synonym for “sees”, not spies as in secret agents, and the pare hint is referring to skin on a fruit or vege, not something more gruesome! I believe that it is an accurate definition. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Rose @ #62695: Great grid, super fun! (2 years, 8 months ago)

nighttime @ #62692: @Ace: (Long John) Silver was not captain; he was quatermaster (2 years, 8 months ago)

Procrastinator @ #21280: Clever red herrings! (2 years, 8 months ago)

RMP @ #62744: Nice but absolutely fiendish - would never have got the "Express" row in a million years. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Bathfood @ #28734: (2 years, 8 months ago)

Stephen @ #62734: Sorry, but this is very poor. This doesn't test lateral thinking at all, which is what only connect and the grids are all about. A list of names means nothing, unless you know who they are and not even the best lateral thinking skills will allow you to think it out. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Lake @ #62740: One of the better hidden numbers groups I’ve seen! Having a mixture of real and fictional people in a name group is always confusing, though. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Eve @ #62733: Agree with the previous comment that the link for the number group should be “homophone”, homonyms are when the word is spelt the same but has a different meaning. Simply allowing “number” as a connection would work too :) (2 years, 8 months ago)

fezzo @ #62733: The connection for the numbers category should be "homophone", not "homonym". (2 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #62733: Terrific (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62692: Enjoyed this grid, nicely done. I don't see the issue with the pirates/captains - they were all both, so as long as either is deemed valid it seems fine to me (although some work on the answers may be needed, my 'captain' was not allowed). And suggesting that a penguin isn't a chocolate bar is being pedantic in the extreme - it's a bar covered in chocolate, what more do you want? (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ade @ #62713: 5 stars for mentioning one of my favourite songs ever. Thank you (2 years, 8 months ago)

b @ #62692: Either they're captains or they're pirates, but can't be both in one group, even though I got it. And Penguin is sold more as a biscuit than a chocolate bar, more Club than Kit-Kat. But I enjoyed it all the same. (2 years, 8 months ago)

b @ #62732: Two really obscure groups there, which makes it no fun. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Hamburger @ #62735: Hard to find a start and some of the groups are little obscure. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Hamburger @ #62632: This is good. (2 years, 8 months ago)

barry womble @ #62710: Beaten by the clock. Tremendous grid. (2 years, 8 months ago)

s @ #62730: this was great! one of my favourites so far :) (2 years, 8 months ago)

s @ #62736: loved the 'hot things' clue! Very satisfying to get that one :) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Bathfood @ #59852: Lovely. Elegantly constructed, with no tenuous definitions. Thank you. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Dev @ #62730: Nice grid. I kept putting the Queens in the red and black group, grrr. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62718: Good grid. I guess an earlier problem was fixed, it all worked fine for me, although my answer "bird first letter" was not close enough, apparently. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62720: Good one. I do hope you insisted on the French connection in the colour group. I put it in, so of course I think it should be required ;-) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Helga @ #44989: Great grid. (But we needed double the time!) (2 years, 8 months ago)

misof @ #62720: Easy 10/10 but lovely groups, thanks. (2 years, 8 months ago)

barry womble @ #62732: nice. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Bathfood @ #48518: Very satisfying. Thank you. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Bathfood @ #12814: Inspired. Thank you. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Bathfood @ #2621: Lovely. So very satisfying. (2 years, 8 months ago)

b @ #62718: Just fine, thanks. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Trixie @ #62729: Sorry! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tilly @ #62729: Not giving me my confetti 'beggars' belief. 🤪 Ty (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62730: Nice idea, quite simple but satisfying. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Bathfood @ #31483: Lovely, thanks. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62726: Not just tenuous, they're not unique; catastrophising could be switched with at least two of the cat group. And blood just doesn't work with the group, needing an extra word, whereas the others are just examples of that word, although classing chess as a sport is also stretching it. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Fred @ #62726: Not enjoyable. Tenuous links. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Enzed @ #62723: Straightforward but nice (2 years, 8 months ago)

Quizbeard @ #50739: Excellent stuff, as always - amazing red herrings! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Avenger @ #10073: Kings Breakfast??? (2 years, 8 months ago)

Dyl Dough @ #62668: Cum on man, 69/1000, dont tread on me, ~~~~*hisses seductively (2 years, 8 months ago)

Dyl Dough @ #62687: Couldn't be ARSEd, TITration (2 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #62718: Not bad, but the Ians were a bit obscure - the only one I had heard of was hislop. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Dyl Dough @ #62692: #feelsweirdman Captain not ok but captains is? PUH-LEASE (2 years, 8 months ago)

MereNovice @ #62711: A fun variation and nice themes. (2 years, 8 months ago)

bbctol @ #62711: Just beautiful! Love the feeling of going from complete confusion to figuring it all out (2 years, 8 months ago)

Stephen @ #62714: nice grid, varied categories. fun to play. (2 years, 8 months ago)

malcolm @ #62692: I don't think captains/ pirates is a sound category - these are not the same thing so it is a mixed group. And Penguin is a biscuit, not a chocolate bar like the others (2 years, 8 months ago)

malcolm @ #62718: What snackula said.These aren't bird names. Also Ian Beale is not a person, he is a fictional character (unless there is a real famous Ian Beale that I just don't know about). The change the first letter set was good though (2 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #62551: Has he James? If he`d put Whole Food it wouldn`t be the company name it would just be a foods type? Perhaps on the categories? Those keys are on my PC too by the way-just `keyboard commands` perhaps? Didn`t know he owned Washington Post too!! Ugh-his mouthpiece as well as another nice little earner! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #62552: Yes-Zues is Zeus! And you can`t put NCCA all in Caps-it`s a giveaway!! I guessed even though I didn`t know what they were. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #62554: Good but I typed Island nations and it didnt work! I needed another point too!!! Why isn`t Australia an Island Me? I think it is! A large Island Nation but still one. But I enjoyed trying even if I did only get 2 points. (2 years, 8 months ago)

count snackula @ #62718: i thought bow, mast,hull and bow were parts of a ship rather than birds (2 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #62564: Companies doesn`t work because Nestles and Fiji and Dansani are all famous for other stuff. I only guessed that group based on the fact they are companies( not water-brands!) ! I`ve learned some K-pop groups though. Now I`ll go listen to some 😊 (2 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #62718: 👍 (2 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #62598: 👍 (2 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #62629: Yeah-red is pathetic. Scarlett? Cerise? Plum? Burgundy? Pillar-box? -Pepper? Rose? Cheeks? Lips? Faced?....... The rest is good :-) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #62714: Good grid, didn't know the Dixie thing Got the rest Thanks for posting (2 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #62640: I`ve done 3/4 of this somewhere else?! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #62643: Homophones don`t quite work! Pare doesn`t quite mean cut off the skin? One spy sees,many spies see-doesn`t quite work. Kinda clever and kinda doesn`t quite work. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #62669: Why was `call` correct if the real answere is `tele-`? Scarlett,Green Mustard and Plum are still colours! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #62687: I was on the back foot when my beady eyes spotted the final leg and stopped me potty mouthing. Enjoyed TY Trixie. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #62692: Good red herrings-I agree. And I didn`t see the Williams connection-Wah! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #62714: Bit American-never heard of `Designing women` (2 years, 8 months ago)

Kitty @ #62714: Nice grid, but you might want to correct the spelling of scrambled/scambled - otherwise fun thanks. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tilly @ #62711: Bombed on your other grid but confetti this time. Phew! Ty (2 years, 8 months ago)

Kitty @ #62712: Nice and easy, thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #62482: Easy but delightful (2 years, 8 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #62696: Fun- Would have rated it higher if food was accepted for the pate group. 'Dinner dishes' far too specific! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62706: Very poor answer explanations; just listing the names without the connections doesn't help at all if you don't know who they are. (2 years, 8 months ago)

samson @ #62700: Yes, tofu and soy sauce are both made from soy beans, but the explanation does not say or imply that each are made using differing beans from each other. All four in the group are made from different (various) types of bean. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Michael Ritchie @ #62702: "Brothers"? What does that mean? (2 years, 8 months ago)

mal @ #62700: Tofu and soy sauce are both made from soya beans, not different beans.. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Plod @ #62696: Cracking grid! Enjoyed this TY (not sure about coral as a g?) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Avenger @ #10071: Got the forms of transport group spot on. Unfortunately you did not expect that as an answer for it!!!! 😡 (2 years, 8 months ago)

Avenger @ #10062: Nah! (2 years, 8 months ago)

RMP @ #62696: Neat grid, but the "put a tape elixir" link is far too precise. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tim and Sabrina @ #47523: full stop (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tim and Sabrina @ #47523: OUR KIND OF GRID LOVELY (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tim and Sabrina @ #204: dude your spellings tho (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tim and Sabrina @ #47791: Top stuff (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #62423: Brilliant, loved the theme. I was hopeless 🤔 Thanks for posting (2 years, 8 months ago)

squareeyes @ #62688: I'd have given this 5 stars if only it had accepted "currencies" ! Otherwise spot on. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Alex @ #62674: Do you mean fortified wine? (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #62666: Excellent. Horrible mixture of different types of word clue. Impossible for me to do but completely valid. Very, very good. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Bau @ #62668: A really enjoyable grid, cum man 69. I finished it. I was satisfied at the end. I'm glad I came. (2 years, 8 months ago)

squareeyes @ #62644: Thank you for the feedback Ade. I'm glad you enjoyed it. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ade @ #62644: Well, Ace, I managed it. Maybe I was just lucky. Thanks for a really enjoyable grid squareeyes. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Les Orres Station (05) @ #37129: we think that was in french!!! >< ;-) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62669: Isn't this just a repeat, or 3/4 groups at least, of an earlier grid? (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #62668: Enjoyable. I guessed wrestling moves for pliers group. It gave it go me!! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tilly @ #62632: nicely done (2 years, 8 months ago)

Anisa @ #62632: Good fun!! Keep it coming :) (2 years, 8 months ago)

F Beasts @ #62663: In honour of the Fantastic beasts film releasing today, a grid dedicated to all things wizarding and bestial. I have tried to give fair warning in the name but the limited number of characters makes it difficult to be clear. If you are not a fan of the franchise my apologies, this one isn't for you. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Helga @ #44930: Very clever & good fun. Solved it but not in 3 minutes! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Movie Buff @ #62660: Maybe? The principals were relatively straight forward but getting some of the support to fit was certainly a test [even for me]. I enjoyed the challenge (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62559: Good all round, nothing wrong with the pronouns, and certainly no higher than 'medium' difficulty. (2 years, 8 months ago)

film buff @ #62660: Maybe a bit harder than I thought? (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62643: Nice, but homophones are always subject to regional variation, and a couple of yours, e.g. ear/air, pier/pare just don't work in 'standard' pronunciations. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Chris McLean @ #62629: I agree with Kitty the red in the reds group needs to change to another shade of red really (2 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #62654: The puzzlers who make the connections easier (use more words) will always be more popular than ones where you have to get the exact word (eg one of my guesses was "types of" the word you had and wasn't allowed) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #62640: Some well worn themes but well put together. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Mickle @ #62510: Awful songs, awful one dimensional quiz - needs some variety to be vaguely interesting (2 years, 8 months ago)

b @ #62628: Very good, just nicely challenging (2 years, 8 months ago)

Chris McLean @ #62628: The animal homophone is a little bit off with ewe being a female sheep where the others are animals species but otherwise good grid (2 years, 8 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #62643: Thank you - got it in the end, just! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Axelle @ #62661: V good enjoyed thoroughly (2 years, 8 months ago)

Birch @ #62661: Bitch (2 years, 8 months ago)

Brinky @ #62636: Really enjoyed the grid. Would have preferred a different Egyptian God to "Re" . "Amun"dsen would have worked. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tilly @ #62660: Got the movies but only one line in time. Enjoyed thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ugly @ #58193: Aaa (2 years, 8 months ago)

RMP @ #62609: Neat! I just could get the link for the "Eight" line. Very clever. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62644: A bit too clever, so many overlaps it's difficult to know where to start. James could also be made to work, and Callahan is only unique because of the unusual spelling, which is just nasty, and then to throw in the Chaucer group including yet more red herrings! Impossible. (2 years, 8 months ago)

DH @ #62569: good fun (2 years, 8 months ago)

Mustard @ #62640: Custard? I think you mean mustard? (2 years, 8 months ago)

hiya @ #62564: it's "go fish" (2 years, 8 months ago)

Stephen @ #62633: Sorry this is very poor. Your solution is not unique at all. For example, you could easily switch orange and lime and still fit the categories you provide. There are many other examples of switches that could be made and still solve the grid. (2 years, 8 months ago)

bob @ #62449: Lazy and too specific. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Kitty @ #62629: Red Red? (2 years, 8 months ago)

Stephen @ #62598: super fun (2 years, 8 months ago)

Stephen @ #62613: This is a grid for a very specific audience. For those of us that aren't interested or don't know about whatever game that is, it is a terrible grid. Make these kinds of grids if you want, but don't post them on the general interest page. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #62628: Very good, nice and easy grid 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62613: And another one about some obscure/unnamed card game. Enough already. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Brinky @ #62598: Nice grid (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62612: No idea what sort of cards you're referring to here, but as the whole grid is about them it's certainly not of 'general interest'. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tilly @ #62603: Yes, agree love it. Only got 6 squares and 1 line in the first go, but got it all on the second attempts. I love my own stupidity at times thinking Clemens was a stanza. Much appreciated 😊 (2 years, 8 months ago)

buff @ #62576: *oops you can see that was done in a hurry (as is my habit) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Rys @ #62587: The piano thing's going to get lots of grumpy puzzlers downgrading an otherwise okay wall. If there's some clever way piano counts as an organ, you definitely need to explain it in your answer. Otherwise, you should change the piano card. The best idea off the top of my head would be calliope (a steam whistle organ). (2 years, 8 months ago)

Garrett @ #62480: Didn't take "zeus" which is understandable i guess, but like- also, didn't take "animal" for the cartoon animals, and didn't take "concert" for the concerts. Decent grid, but it doesn't award any points. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Avenger @ #9996: Really enjoyable grid. Thank you 😊 (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #33026: Nice and easy. Even with the red herrings that some people don't like! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #62583: Very good. Two attempts before I got your style. (2 years, 8 months ago)

MLS @ #62434: Nice twist to this game, haven't played anything like this. It took me a minute to figure out the pattern. Fun! Thank you. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #62592: It isn't green, it's green and yellow and blue with a touch of white They're not round they're spherical Loads of people have died Hope I didn't give too much away (2 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #62590: What a ludicrous waste of time. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Stephen @ #62593: I agree with Aidan. Also the subject matter is unpleasant. These grids are meant to be a pleasant diversion, not a grim reminder of the garbage that goes on in the world (2 years, 8 months ago)

Aidan @ #62593: needs better answer choices. Poorly made. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Stephen @ #62584: the milli category - those don't only go before word second, they can go before many measurements in the metric system such as: -litre, -metre, gram, etc. also, 'er simpson' should actually be 'r simpson' for your answer to be accurate. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Stephen @ #62554: Nice Grid. It looked very difficult at first, but i was able to sort it. Unfortunately, "Island nations" should work for that category, but it doesn't. Also, The middle eastern countries are also all arab or muslim countries, and that should be reflected in your possible answers. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Stephen @ #62511: the doritos one can also be salad dressings or dips. (2 years, 8 months ago)

KingO @ #62564: The card game is Go Fish not gold fish as far as I know. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Helga @ #62539: Fun! (Only just did it in the time!) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62577: Only possible for a maths geek and k-pop loving microbiology researcher. No way it's of "general interest". (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62578: Far too obtuse, and some of them just don't work. No way tutu fits in its group, the name group is just contrived, no way anyone's going to work it out unless they start out looking for names. And others are like cryptic crossword clues without any template or word length which can only be grouped if and when you've solved them all. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Plod @ #62575: Very satisfying TY! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ade @ #62549: Far too tough for me, was totally lost after the Mingus group. Clever though. Thank you (2 years, 8 months ago)

barry womble @ #62535: Great. (2 years, 8 months ago)

barry womble @ #62304: Top grid (2 years, 8 months ago)

CornWoman @ #62549: Just niche enough for me. Loved it. Cheers. (2 years, 8 months ago)

me @ #62554: Very nice grid! Only thing is I typed "island" for the islands group and it didn't work. Also I don't think Australia is actually an island but I got what you were going for anyway. (2 years, 8 months ago)

bii @ #62555: I have literally never seen someone wearing a yellow jacket, the most common colors are black or green... (2 years, 8 months ago)

me @ #62449: Not gonna lie, these are all just Taylor Swift songs (2 years, 8 months ago)

JGN @ #36209: I put in the obvious for the gotham group and although it was the answer, it said it was incorrect. Can you add the keyword here? Thanks! (2 years, 8 months ago)

I.C. Weiner @ #54971: I got stuck early on by assuming they were all book titles that I'd never heard of. Managed to get the "C" one right as they all sounded science-y, but I got wrecked pretty hard. (2 years, 8 months ago)

dollymix @ #62555: The spelling is "wrack your brain", so it doesn't quite work. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #62550: US state abbreviations didn’t work so perhaps have another look at the allowable answers (2 years, 8 months ago)

RainyDays @ #62502: Loved the grid. (2 years, 8 months ago)

me @ #62555: Great ideas here, but it could be a lot better if you made the groups more consistent. For example, 'Jacket' doesn't really fit in that group because, although it can be preceded by 'yellow,' it isn't necessarily a yellow thing itself. You could do a group of things that can be preceded by 'yellow' ('Submarine,' 'Brick road,' and things like that) but it should be one or the other in my opinion. Thanks for making this grid though! (2 years, 8 months ago)

malcolm @ #62550: Apart from the music ones, the categories are not great: the restaurants one doesn't make sense - how do you find 'expensive'? & the other things could be found anywhere. The state abbreviations should be capitals , not with lower case second letters to make them look 'elementy' And 'on the periodic table' is far too general - you should at least try to use elements that are in a particular group on the table , or that are all metals, or gases etc (2 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #62488: Nice puzzle but give more information in the connection to increase puzzlers chances of "getting it" (2 years, 8 months ago)

Catherine Perrin @ #62502: really enjoyed this - not too hard. the explanations might need condensing a tad (2 years, 8 months ago)

Epat @ #62555: Best one yet!!! (2 years, 8 months ago)

me @ #62501: It's really "Hell's Kitchen" rather than "Hells Kitchen," isn't it? Seems like a little thing but I was really trying to think of something with a plural "Hells" in it lol Very nice grid though! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Chris @ #62543: TTT ii TTT (2 years, 8 months ago)

me @ #62522: It's a fun grid, but kind of impossible to solve. There's so much overlap between the racket sports group and the volleyball group that you just have to get lucky guessing that. And all the "kick"s are also football/soccer terms so it's weird to have a group that could be placed inside another group entirely. Red herrings are great, but I think this wall has many possible solutions that make just as much sense as the actual one. (2 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #62543: and the point was? (2 years, 8 months ago)

this was amazing @ #62542: shouldn't you be working (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ade @ #62517: Nice. Thank you (2 years, 8 months ago)

Dave @ #62540: Thanks for posting. Felt that having two groups of veg, one specific and one generic, didn't really work though. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62522: Far too much interchangeability. And using some very specific groups with others very loosely connected, just makes it feel even more contrived. Oh, and it's "goal kick" not "goalie kick". (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62525: "Lady Bird" was not a first name, but a nickname. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #62525: Great - the Laura group caught me. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Rys @ #57936: As disappointed as I can get with my country sometimes, at least we don't have Mr. Blobby. Yes, I know he's a joke. Still, sheesh. And he had a hit Christmas song? What? Just, how? Did he lace that year's Christmas crackers with LSD? Did he threaten to eat every first born? Was he secretly Paul McCartney??? I... never mind. Between Blobby and Marmite, I just can't... (10/10!)

Castellan Spandrell @ #62502: Confetti, fun connections, fairy bread sounds... interesting. Bit too optimistic on the space you had for explanations! (2 years, 8 months ago)

J @ #62434: 👍 (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62462: The boat group just doesn't work. Cargo needs another word adding to it, and Monitor? Apparently some old sunken warship. but not a 'type of boat'. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62485: One of those annoying grids where you can know three out of four in each group but still fail to find the fourth. Well done. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Helga @ #62409: Nice (2 years, 8 months ago)

Bathfood @ #54362: Wonderful grid. Perfectly judged. Thanks. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #62478: Nice and easy straightforward grid 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62480: Not bad, fairly simple but a couple of false leads. You could do some work on your answers though - the not speaking group are just animals, NASA group are space programs, festival (singular) wasn't accepted... (2 years, 8 months ago)

Stephen @ #62480: Great grid and great red herrings. I thoroughly enjoyed it (2 years, 8 months ago)

Dave @ #62422: Enjoyable overall, felt the music one was a bit of a weak connection because you could have used pretty much any colour that you could link to a song or artist. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #62456: You've spelled biscuit incorrectly in one of your answers. Which marks correct answers as wrong Other than that, decent grid Thanks for posting (2 years, 8 months ago)

Gridlington @ #62434: I like doing this type of grid! Good one thanks! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62408: @Hamburger - One of the group follows jacket rather than preceding it as the answer suggests. But that's just being pedantic. (2 years, 8 months ago)

RMP @ #62425: Not tricky but very pleasing - some nice red herrings (2 years, 8 months ago)

b @ #60722: OK, I don't know the Simpsons, but a decent grid and 7/10 for me. (2 years, 8 months ago)

QwiziRascal @ #62359: Some things to work on here: 1) need some red herrings 2) links need to be more accurate (nausea is not an injury) 3) "There was a car" link doesn't make sense and the group has no link other than forming a sentence (2 years, 8 months ago)

b @ #62256: Gallipoli is a peninsula, and the scene of many battles throughout the ages, but I got it in the Italian group. Sorry, but I always feel that just to list the start of some words is a cop-out when you can't find a better group. (2 years, 8 months ago)

D @ #62256: There's no Gallipoli island in Italy (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62323: Another one, under another name, getting even worse. One group simply 'adjectives', another makes no sense whatsoever. Again, nothing resembling any crossover or red herring. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62322: Seems like several grids created by the same person under different names for some reason. Several of the groupings are shared in multiple grids, most of them are really obvious, several are simple grammatical features, and in no case is there anything resembling a red herring or any possible overlaps. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ben @ #10899: Me and my friends loved it! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #62272: Some good ideas, but the grid is insoluble. Seigfried Farnon was a veterinary surgeon, not a doctor, so that group is invalid. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #62290: Sorry, that last comment was meant for your other grid. This grid was better - the explanations made some sense. I'm not sure a grid based entirely on exactly knowledge of Latin grammar and precise use of the correct grammatical terms beyond 'noun', 'verb' and 'adjective' is particularly interesting though, especially when the difference between two groups was one being irregular nouns and another being nouns of a certain declension. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #62297: This would be more interesting if there was some explanation in the 'solutions' of how the items related to the links - whether they're the name of a work by the poet, a nickname of the poet, a first line or quotation from a famous work by the poet. If some of the clues are quotations, they need to be longer than a single word, because they're not really meaningful, identifiable or unique. It's just impossible to see what the grid is getting at really. I've read works by three of the four Roman poets who were the answers here, but nothing in the grid helped me towards anything more specific than 'latin poetry'. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62296: Not of general interest. Presumably all about translations from Latin, intended for a school class, perhaps? (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #62290: This would be more interesting if there was some explanation in the 'solutions' of how the items related to the links - whether they're the name of a work by the poet, a nickname of the poet, a first line or quotation from a famous work by the poet.

mr anon @ #62272: good grid but Vets are not called Doctor. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #62250: Excellent! TopsyandTim - red tractor is the British farm logo on food! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Jordie @ #62262: Just FYI that “penguin” was not accepted as the link for that category, I imagine you probably want to change that (2 years, 8 months ago)

Lynne DIXON @ #62256: Gallipoli is not an Island! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Commish @ #59307: Also, Brady is NOT the goat. Not-so-subtle way to interject a Patriot fan's perspective. Mountain goats probably don't cheat. (2 years, 8 months ago)

barry womble @ #62241: High Qual. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Dave @ #62256: I'd never heard of an Italian Gallipoli, but what do you know, it exists! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Stephen @ #62254: Please broaden the categories. For example, your answer is "all places in Norway," and my answer of "places in Norway" was not a match. Even just using the country name as the answer category didn't match. (2 years, 8 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #62245: Ok grid but L missing from volcanic (2 years, 8 months ago)

TopsyandTim @ #62250: Red Tractor? (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #62235: For the breathing row it's an Acronym Other than that, good grid Thanks for posting (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #62245: Interestingly different Good grid to solve, well put together Good work, 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 8 months ago)

Just me @ #62039: Synonyms is just fine. Do you mean they rhyme? (2 years, 8 months ago)

RMP @ #62227: Very nice! Good combination of links and some neat red herrings (2 years, 8 months ago)

MothPerson @ #62227: Might be just me but the connection that starts with M was a bit too strange and difficult to figure out. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Stephen @ #62238: Africa is a continent, not a country, so doesn't really fit in with the others. Otherwise decent. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #26444: Sauron was a Maiar, though. So can swap.with Nazgul. So, not a grid. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #28824: Bath and Epsom can be swapped. Not a grid, 1* (2 years, 8 months ago)

dollymix @ #62070: "Stout" refers to a kind of beer, but I've never heard it refer to a vessel, and I don't see that definition in Merriam-Webster. (2 years, 8 months ago)

dollymix @ #62113: I love the idea of the Shaggy group, but it's a little inconsistent (if it's "In the Shower", it should also be "On the Sofa" and "On the Bathroom Floor") and I think it might be too similar to the "caught" group. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Dave @ #62159: Nice one, cheers. One minor thing is that Simon is a "Reeve" whilst the others are all "Reeves"es. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #62227: What a superb mix of topics. A delight. Quite easy but excellent anyway. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tyvent @ #62223: @Cristobal The abundance of poisonous animals always seems to come up in humor- and top ten articles about Australia. I suspect this notoriety was partly due to nature shows decades ago shown to young kids (me included) where poor Australuans couldn't go to the beach or reach into a cupboard without getting hospitalized by freakish-looking box jellies, blue-ringed octopuses, stone fish, or funnel web spiders. Anyway, I just used it as a setup for the joke about Vegemite. @Plod Clearly, I'm dubious about spreadable yeast byproduct, but like I said, I'm promised it's good stuff :) (2 years, 8 months ago)

SuperT @ #62228: Is Mexican a language? I thought they spoke Spanish (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62228: Don't they speak Spanish in Mexico? Group would work for nationality, but not language. All good apart from that. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Stephen @ #62226: this is not a grid that is of general interest at all. It is all about one single television programme from some years back. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62143: Even with the correct spelling it's not a great group definition. Related to, yes, ending with, no. As for the vines - no idea what you're referring to here, perhaps more explanation is required? (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62227: Nice. Took me a while to spot the hidden words, but got there in the end. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #62226: Not a single name I recognised. Is it just me? (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #62221: Good ideas, but doesn't quite work. Arran and Barra can be swapped with each other between groups, so there e at least two valid solutions for the wall. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Plod @ #62223: ... and vegemite sandwich. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Plod @ #62223: Nothing wrong with peanut butter! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #62195: Isn't Fresh Prince a valid answer? And where is 'lave' from? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #62174: You're probably thinking of Balthazar as the second Magus, although they are not named innthe bible as such. However, a second biblical Balthazar exists and could have given his name to this bottle. This Balthazar was the last king of Babylon, killed during the seizure of the city by Cyrus in 539 BC. As such I think it's hard to justify that Balthaz and Nebuchadnezzar can't be exchanged. I would certainly not allow for this possibility if I were setting. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Plod @ #62196: * just for a laugh! (2 years, 9 months ago)

D @ #62173: The Carolingians group is fine and not too obscure. Good grid (2 years, 9 months ago)

Jimdas @ #62171: Enjoy (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #62171: Good. Though it didn't give me the hidden word group eve though I put - hidden words twisted fibres rope. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #62173: I don't know my Tolkien otherwise straightforward. Thanks. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #62174: Thanks. Not too tricky. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #62136: Imp does not really fit with the other three. Otherwise a good grid, if a bit too easy. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #62174: Very easy but a nice mix. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #62112: How hard is it to remember/guess the decade!! But I enjoyed trying. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #62171: Enjoyable-I like winning.The last one nearly fooled me though. (2 years, 9 months ago)

EOS @ #62174: Very nice red herrings. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Jon @ #62173: The Carolingian dynasty one is pretty weak - First, the kings of the Carolingian dynasty were rules of different Frankian empires, which "became" the Holy Roman Empire as much as it became France - Louis could be any king/emperor of that title. The other three names are very specific. The association still works, but it's not great. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Stephen @ #62173: Great grid, with some excellent red herrings. One in particular, but I won't say which so as not to give anything away. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Davi @ #15859: White and Rapunzel are both Disney princesses. (2 years, 9 months ago)

b @ #62173: OK, but the French dynasty stuff is pretty obscure (2 years, 9 months ago)

Pam Douglas @ #49668: London stations for the Waterloo group fits (2 years, 9 months ago)

barry womble @ #62119: High class grid. (2 years, 9 months ago)

barry womble @ #62136: brilliant. (2 years, 9 months ago)

barry womble @ #62170: 5 star grid. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #61778: The surname that links the forenames is Corr so that should work as well. (2 years, 9 months ago)

malcontent @ #62083: Some good ideas, but there's a typo (Cyldesdale for Clydesdale) which is misleading, and because New Forest, Exmoor, and Dartmoor could all be in either the horse breed group or the National Park group, there are at least three equally valid solutions, so the grid doesn't actually work as the walls are supposed to . (2 years, 9 months ago)

Freddgar @ #62159: Nice and easy straightforward grid, with a couple of good red herrings 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 9 months ago)

D @ #62134: Ramsay is spelled wrong (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ant @ #62070: You should replace the Sorcerer in the Harry Potter line as it's more commonly known as Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ant @ #62079: Certainly a challenging grid. I eventually got the idea, but I think I would have needed a little more time (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ant @ #62106: Very nice grid, thank you! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ade @ #62134: Think I must have been lucky. It only took me 38 seconds. Nice grid. Thank you (2 years, 9 months ago)

Stephen @ #62135: I wouldn't say this is of general interest, and therefore it shouldn't be posted on the main page. Unless you're a pokemon fan, none of this means anything to you, since they all have to do with various aspects of pokemon. (2 years, 9 months ago)

QwiziRascal @ #62136: Great grid, thanks (2 years, 9 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #62088: The category including 'hammer' was very obscure! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Mickle @ #61837: Gray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #62134: Very frustrating. I saw the four categories very quickly, but there was so much overlap of membership, that I couldn't try all the combinations fast enough. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Hamburger @ #62004: This is good. (2 years, 9 months ago)

davo @ #61883: What sort of pimply little nerd (who has no sex might I add) knows what prefixes are used for navy ships on other countries. I bet your Dad drinks to numb the pain of how absolutely pathetic and lowly you are. And your mother, well chances are she's run off with a sailor or something daft like that you feckless little whelp. I reckon you ought to knuckle down and, if you can quite manage it, you human sphincter, make a better grid next time as this is the absolute nadir of PuzzGrid you infantile pant-pooing bumhead. -davo (2 years, 9 months ago)

AJC @ #61938: I didn't need ANY London knowledge for this one. Disappointing. (2 years, 9 months ago)

b @ #61933: Spelling errors don't help, though I guessed anyway. And too many answers bounced me out on perfectly acceptable responses, which you can perhaps consider another time. (2 years, 9 months ago)

David Maidstone @ #61926: Liked extra extra, but as with many contributors wish you'd make connections more robust so we don't have to write an essay to get them. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Gridlington @ #61906: American submitter, Ade! It can sound like 'hock" in some US accents, whereas we would say "hork". (2 years, 9 months ago)

Sredni @ #61926: Extra extra, read all about it! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Dave @ #61923: Thought it was great, thanks. Good use of friends characters' names as red herrings. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Dave @ #61926: Decent, thanks. However, forgive my ignorance, but what is extra extra? (2 years, 9 months ago)

RMP @ #61898: Very enjoyable grid! (2 years, 9 months ago)

CRR @ #61924: A nice and easy one, thank you! -not sure if you know this but one line accepts 'names' - a bit too general maybe? (2 years, 9 months ago)

CornWoman @ #61811: Love the missing vowels concept and literature is underused on this site in my opinion so nice work. I'm going with Jesus here, even though these are famous authors and you've not introduced any extra spaces, given the time limit you might want to make some of the works a little less obscure.

Ace @ #61832: Windows is not an electronics company, not a company at all, just a Microsoft OS. Deliberately confusing. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Aetees @ #61811: Fabulous (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #61813: Is does make sense, sort of, but it's far too obvious, and the answers just accept any word in the clue, so kinda pointless. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Steve @ #48610: Easy peasy lemon squeezy (2 years, 9 months ago)

Erin @ #61813: I think this misses the point, these aren't connections just common phrases. The "connections" don't even make sense. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Stephen @ #61836: Nice grid. Great red herrings, especially on the goat category (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #61765: Hah! Sneaky, two such similar, yet distinct, groups. Didn't fool me though -;) (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #61773: Not often I'd say this, but your answer grid allows too broad a definition. I had no idea of the film link, but it gave me a correct score for 'games'. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #61716: Love the reference to Captain Scarlet- my favourite programme as a child!! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #61740: Excellent! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Puzzfairy @ #61747: Well, it's listed as a US grid, so . . . :) I did go through a second time to check the linking terms you provided. You can/should shorten ("truncate") them so when someone enters a typo (like matj or colo4) or uses strange, ungodly spellings like maths, colour, analyse, or manoeuvre, they'll usually be marked correct. So yeah, "mat" works for math or maths, "colo" for color or colour, "tra" for track or tracc or trak, "elem" for elements, etc. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Cockles @ #61733: Superb. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Puzzfairy @ #61713: @Ace I can understand why someone would think so but it does work. @Tyvent Winners of Emmys, Tonys, Grammys, Oscars. If you explained each link that simply, as just the award won, not person+show/movie winning the award, would that not work? Or would there be multiple solutions? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #61717: Nice easy grid, except for the wording of the links - vehicles and chillis not accepted for the transport and peppers groups, though both are equally valid - actually never heard of ghost chilliss or Aleppo chillis referred to as ghost peppers or Aleppo peppers, but I know there are red and pickled chillies.

Ade @ #61714: Great grid. Clever and fun. Thank you SugarPi (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #61726: Didn't like that two of the groups featured one element that doesn't really conform. In both cases a name, first one being used to make an expressions that is not at all common (as stated for the connection) and secondly an obscure foreign name being used as a word. If you're playing word games you really should only use 'real' words. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #61732: I don't get the colour group at all. Fingers, sure, but none of the other three are in common usage. The level of abstraction required for the anagram group is absurd. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Kitty @ #61717: Came to same the same thing! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #61729: @mal. I agree with your general comments, but where are you from that hello doesn't rhyme with yellow? Are you just saying Hallo or Hullo (both of which are sometimes used in written English as alternatives to Hello)? (2 years, 9 months ago)

b @ #61444: OK that grid, OK. (2 years, 9 months ago)

b @ #61588: Don't think many on this site speak Korean, and new grids with Russian links are in bad taste, in my opinion. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Aetees @ #61651: A good theme and a good grid. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Movie Buff @ #61651: Just a "nod" to film buff grid grid (2 years, 9 months ago)

Gridlngton @ #61648: Nice grid thanks! Not sure what a "first star" is though... And it's Cobalt (not cobolt) (2 years, 9 months ago)

Gridlngton @ #61651: Nice grid! - weird though, that the principal listed actor of "Grease" is Joan Blondell, not Travolta or Newton-John! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Caz2 @ #28538: Liked the Prime Minister line (2 years, 9 months ago)

I HATE JAMES FINSTER @ #61487: Very bad grid - did not enjoy it! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Pam Douglas @ #61573: Excellent, once I stopped putting the same ones into a cricket group I solved it. Shame I then typed gricket instead! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Pam Douglas @ #61527: Nice, I put anagrams for the palindromes which works too, but went for ice instead of soda. Which doesn't fit with stream! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Pam Douglas @ #61462: Nice grid (2 years, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #61589: Good grid, interesting groups, but none of the literary devices or figures/speech in the 'figurative language' groups are actually figurative. (2 years, 9 months ago)

me @ #61118: Compiler clearly does not understand tautology or oxymorons...... (2 years, 9 months ago)

Naur @ #61561: Normally I hate grids where I have to solve a puzzle in order to get a piece of the puzzle. I like my good old fashioned Only Connect styled walls. Yet, I knew enough about half of these clues that I was able to pick up on the 3-dimensional theme and actually play! Good work. Would you believe me if I told you the first thing I recognized was Pyramid Head? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Naur @ #61529: Sorry, Kitty! My bad. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Tilly @ #61557: Nice n easy (2 years, 9 months ago)

Tash @ #61501: Please add 'allergens' as an options for guessing types of allergies (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #61515: @Plod: not sure it's used like that in the UK. Although I've not lived there for some years it certainly was not when I was growing up there. It's only listed as a US usage in Oxford and Cambridge dictionaries, and as slang is some others, and I suspect it has indeed come from a distortion/misspelling of scoff. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #61559: Not quite a unique solution. Duchess could swap with Dame and both groups would still work. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Joe @ #61562: Please don’t post any more grids (2 years, 9 months ago)

SugarPi @ #61553: Please consider adding rank and/or ranks to the accepted answers for military titles. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Feza @ #47422: I thought the same as SeedyEm. Nice grid tho. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Feza @ #52050: kakkamies, red-herrings like Pride are deliberate. They make it more challenging. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Brinky @ #61533: The grid is good and tricky but the mathematical constants do not work when capitalized which I know are the rules. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Igor @ #61553: I did enjoy your grid, thanks, but... In your explanations, please also state which word to be added goes with which clue. I know that I can look them up but that little bit more from you would allow me to move onto the next grid a bit sooner. (This applies to other setters as well!) (2 years, 9 months ago)

RMP @ #61532: Dollitle is presumably meant to be Dolittle (2 years, 9 months ago)

Caz2 @ #50348: Ary could fit first row.Not heard of bright leaves. (2 years, 9 months ago)

cristobal @ #61504: Agreed. Yorkie and Aero are chocolate bars made by Nestlé. Cadbury and Mars are manufacturers, although Mars is also the name of the chocolate bar. A bit too complicated to make a good group on here. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Pam Douglas @ #61460: Nice grid (2 years, 9 months ago)

Jovana @ #61500: Hello, "car models" isn't accepted for car brands... And also, y is a vowel in these words, so I said "words where y acts as a vowel, and it's the only one" and it wasn't accepted, but it should be :) Have a nice day! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #61501: Two of the groups have a lot of interchangeability, with at least hone and milk being able to swap with eggs. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #61504: Got all the groups, but not the swift connection. Too old/cultured/uninterested, I guess. But the chocolate group isn't really internally consistent. Three of them are indeed bars, two of them are manufacturers. The UK link is correct only if you allow one manufacturer together with three bars. Could have made more of it. (2 years, 9 months ago)

QwiziRascal @ #61505: Great grid - hard but in a good way! (2 years, 9 months ago)

QwiziRascal @ #61515: I can see what you're going for and it's close but not quite there. Love the concept though and look forward to more in the future! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Wasp71 @ #61496: Enjoyable. Thanks. (ps. You obviously have to be more specific than "films") (2 years, 9 months ago)

quodlibet @ #61483: Never heard of a lot of these, but managed to solve it anyway. Liked it! and liked it better when I saw the hidden theme. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Rys @ #61392: I didn't think this puzzle was so bad that it should not be on the default page, so I upvoted it. I solved two rows, but palindromes jump out at me and I am a musician. Even though I play video games and went to school, I don't think I could have solved the rest with even ten minutes, and I bet the other people rating this puzzle felt the same way about most of the puzzle. Anagrams are usually very tough to spot, and long ones take a long time to solve. I suggest you use no more than one anagram puzzle on a wall so people have a chance to solve it by default (when people solve the other three). Also, since they are usually tough, anagrams do not need to be tougher with a link to a niche subject, like video game characters. Simple is better, I think. Replace-a-letter (or add or subtract) puzzles are also easy to frustrate people with. Similar advice if you think to use them. So those are my suggestions. Please feel free to tell me to pound sand :) (2 years, 9 months ago)

Hey_Buddy @ #61493: Great Neneh red herring! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Dave @ #61482: Nice concept. (2 years, 9 months ago)

David Maidstone @ #61492: Enjoyed this but it is one of my favourite shows. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Deborah @ #61031: Sorry to say that I should have got 10/10 but the grid only awarded me me 6. It did not accept “languages” as the answer for “language subjects.” I learnt from this and then typed “scientific subjects” for my next answer however it did not accept this either. Maybe just make the correct answers a bit broader if possible (as I know it has been pretty broad in other grids :) (2 years, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #61486: Great ideas, good fun, but rudder and oar can be swapped over so there are at least two valid solutions to the wall. (2 years, 9 months ago)

b @ #61389: I'm not into musical technicalities, which cost me a point (and therefore in fact three points), but otherwise a good grid. (2 years, 9 months ago)

b @ #61434: Enjoyed that. Good red herrings. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Macca @ #24921: You’re so thick, you’ve misspelled rotor so that isn’t a palindrome thus invalidating the whole grid (2 years, 9 months ago)

Plod @ #61482: * may need a refresh (2 years, 9 months ago)

Scarborough @ #61477: Lots of good red herrings and clever categories! TY (2 years, 9 months ago)

Mr Solver @ #61469: An amazing Grid! Thank you! (2 years, 9 months ago)

LB @ #60572: Wouldn't accept hidden creatures (2 years, 9 months ago)

Freddgar @ #61463: Nice and easy straightforward grid Maybe allow sea areas ? 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 9 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #61459: sports equipment is there but I used a capital S - now changed. Work doesn't fit because 'life' would have to be 'life's. Thanks anyway' (2 years, 9 months ago)

Buddy Holly @ #61151: Simon, we didn't get beach for the one about beaches (2 years, 9 months ago)

JB @ #61459: Doesn't accept 'sports equipment'. And '_work' is another connection for the home group. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Observation @ #38254: J - ? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Mr Ruth @ #61434: Pretty good (2 years, 9 months ago)

Tilly @ #61427: Lovely - nice mix of "obvious" and deception. Damn Cameron and nice to see AWT, been missing for a while. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Tilly @ #61452: Smashing grid, educational to boot. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Tilly @ #61451: Waste of Time as Owen Paul said 1986 ty :-) (2 years, 9 months ago)

B @ #60560: Good one (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #61458: Very easy, but anagrams should really be actual words in their own right, not simply random rearrangements of a set of letters. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Tom @ #61460: Good grid, lots of red herrings, good variety in the connections (2 years, 9 months ago)

edpo @ #61436: @Nick Houldsworth -- John Hurt appeared as the "War Doctor" in a couple of episodes in 2013 (2 years, 9 months ago)

Jovana @ #61458: novelists and writers should be accepted for the authors group (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nick Houldsworth @ #61436: John Hurt as Doctor Who?? Otherwise fine (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nick Houldsworth @ #61458: Disappointed that 'same letters' failed for one reason, and 'novelists' for another. Otherwise fine (2 years, 9 months ago)

Critic @ #59049: Not the best puzzgrid I've ever seen, try better next time! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Paul @ #61398: Very good. (2 years, 9 months ago)

turnip @ #61446: That "Red" group was impossible for me. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ms terry @ #61447: You are right. And normally I do leave off plurals (under other monikers). Just got a bit distracted but I do realise how annoying it is - sorry! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Tyvent @ #61448: @Olivia No kidding. I think it's harder to make the letter puzzles solvable and fun, but you did it, Hero. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Tyvent @ #61447: Quick tip if you're not aware: when you enter the acceptable answers, it's almost always best to truncate each term. Try to include only the minimum amount of letters that gives you 95% confidence that the player has the right answer(s) in mind. For instance, instead of "orders" in this puzz, it's probably better to use 'order' or just 'ord' (as long as someone uses a word starting with ord, it's marked correct). This makes typos and players guessing your 100% preferred answer less important. Regardless, great puzzle here! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Olivia Nava @ #61448: That billionaire one! That was fantastic. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Hamburger @ #61434: This is good. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Chiddler @ #61282: Sorry Gagalady, but one of the 4 countries making up the United Kingdom does indeed has St Patrick as its patron - Northern Ireland (2 years, 9 months ago)

nikki @ #44919: I put "Super Auto Pets" for the Deer/Fish/Grapefruit/Sheep and i got it right.. ikyky (2 years, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #61435: Great fun - saw three links straight away, but a couple of answers in two groups were beyond my general knowledge, so I only sorted one line in time. Got all four links though. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #61429: Very good. Good groups, good fake groups and redherrings. (2 years, 9 months ago)

B @ #60389: OK (2 years, 9 months ago)

Dave @ #61422: Very enjoyable, thanks. I thought Littlewoods sponsored the FA Cup, but maybe they sponsored the League Cup at a different time. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ade @ #61397: Super grid. Feeling really superior after reading comments because 10/10 for me. Thank you Lampton (2 years, 9 months ago)

B @ #60671: I don't know where you got Times Radio from (2 years, 9 months ago)

B @ #61259: I got the groups, but I missed out on the "butter.. . . " answer. Good one. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Paul @ #61343: Not accepting "Native Americans" instead of just "Tribes" makes this almost unsolvable. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Elvis @ #61427: Best one I've seen here. (2 years, 9 months ago)

barry blue @ #61422: Excellent! (2 years, 9 months ago)

RMP @ #61401: Very neat! Cleverly done, defeated me (2 years, 9 months ago)

VCM @ #61398: Good one. Confused by all the car brands but heyho (2 years, 9 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #61398: It's not a repeat - I haven't seen any of the elements before but I'm sure bits will exist amongst the 61k+ other grids. -Thanks for the positive comments from various players. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Simon @ #61406: Love it!! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Tilly @ #61397: I got them all, just. not in the correct order or time. Well done ty (2 years, 9 months ago)

turnip @ #61318: Wow! Never have I ever before taken a look at board and said "Who the devil are any of these people?" Definitely out of my element here. (Nonetheless, I got 1/10 from the obvious grouping.) (2 years, 9 months ago)

turnip @ #61350: Was totally out of my element with the "Obey" group. 4/10 for me (The only group I got was the "Priest" group, right away.) Great quality as always (2 years, 9 months ago)

turnip @ #61395: Nicely done. Loved the red herrings. Only managed 2/10 (from the connections) A small nit, "clown" should definitely be capitalized. (2 years, 9 months ago)

turnip @ #61304: Confettied in under a minute. But nice grid and definitely nice tribute by you. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Joe @ #61396: The 'birth' group doesn't accept the answer you have put. Stopped me getting my confetti :( (2 years, 9 months ago)

Freddgar @ #61396: Nice and easy straightforward grid Couple of red herrings 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 9 months ago)

R4m @ #61386: Was not not at all bad until my final (incorrect) answer was revealed....but "these are all E.......................". Seriously? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Victoria Coren-Mitchell @ #61120: Well done (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #61375: Hmm. I just discovered that the comment stops if you include a "less than" sign. Hence the above apparently odd remarks. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #61375: (2 years, 9 months ago)

nighttime @ #42420: Would not accept answers in French! :( (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #61335: Making a fiendish grid is difficult. Making one that's virtually impossible is simply pointless. (2 years, 9 months ago)

malcontent @ #61366: Nice groups, good redherrings, not too obscure, but three hidden word/word puzzle lines and only one knowledge based one is a bit samey. Good fun thanks. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Just me @ #61342: There doesn’t have to be any red herrings. Good fun grid (2 years, 9 months ago)

barry womble @ #61315: superb. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Atticus @ #27068: Lemon? Did you mean Lemmon? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Bindipper @ #61351: The ratings aren't a reflection of how good the grid is. I've seen some shockers with 4 stars and good ones with 3. It's a flawed ratings system. 10s of thousands of grids in and I don't think we have a single 5 star game. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Cheeseburger @ #61351: I rated FIVE STARS, my favorite one yet! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #61310: Very difficult, but I live in the right city to score 10! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #61315: The category including 'allergy' was far too hard. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Just me @ #61351: I thought it was good (2 years, 9 months ago)

Snackula @ #61222: good (2 years, 9 months ago)

JF @ #61353: Nice grid. I only got 2 because I fixated on first names and thought that was a common theme among all groups. Got all 4 connections once the missing groups were revealed. (2 years, 9 months ago)

barry womble @ #61353: ....disagree - absolutely great grid. (2 years, 9 months ago)

reply @ #61356: Well I liked it (2 years, 9 months ago)

Dave @ #61315: Very good. Wouldn't have got theatre parts in a million years though. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Stephen Page @ #61351: It marked incorrect tye word anagram when the answer was anagram. Very frustrating. I was on for 10. I wanted my streamers (2 years, 9 months ago)

also jesus @ #60250: i would like to echo jesus's statement above (2 years, 9 months ago)

rat supreme @ #61086: I like it! More, please. I only got 10/10 (4 groups, 4 connections for a total of 10 points), but I cannot complain about the quality. Great red herrings. Five stars! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Jesus @ #34290: Too easy (2 years, 9 months ago)

Jesus @ #34307: Your categories suck! Meet me in the mcdonalds parking lot! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Avenger @ #9113: The sporting group should accept "final" . Not sure the system message telling me to make a mental note to give my self the point works!!! VCM would give the points - sort the system out!!!! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Avenger @ #9108: These answers need sorting out - got the links no problem (2 years, 9 months ago)

Shane Miles @ #61353: poor (2 years, 9 months ago)

David @ #237: What's a yellow card? (2 years, 9 months ago)

David @ #61316: Great fun, thank you. I shamed myself by guessing old jobs for the group containing RGN BN MN. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Adam @ #30596: Evil red herrings in this - most categories have 5 answers in the grid (2 years, 9 months ago)

Bob @ #61301: Our team absolutely destroyed this grid (2 years, 9 months ago)

Adam @ #21280: Great grid - fair and just tricky enough without being frustrating (2 years, 9 months ago)

Adam @ #42675: Fun grid mostly, but "black plague" isn't really a thing... Bubonic Plague was often referred to as "Black Death" but I've never really heard the two terms mixed around like that (2 years, 9 months ago)

Gridlington @ #61222: Very good! And at last, anagrams that aren't glaringly obvious! (2 years, 9 months ago)

JafarAstro @ #6364: Currencies didn't accept currency and lanes didn't accept lane - its worth including these if your link is plural. Also, the england cricketers one is not the names they go by or spelt correctly. (2 years, 9 months ago)

B @ #61316: Quite tough (2 years, 9 months ago)

Tilly @ #61309: Spotted it. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #61282: Also of Northern Ireland, which is. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #61306: Nice one. Never heard of three of the dances, but the group dropped out and I guessed correctly. I like your inclusion of Hell in that definition ;-) (2 years, 9 months ago)

Gagalady @ #61282: Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland ... which is not in the United Kingdom. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Lou @ #61300: Maybe accept knitwear for the jersey group. (2 years, 9 months ago)

B @ #61103: Food is too general, and few of us eat pure barley : it's more of an ingredient than a pure food, in my opinion (2 years, 9 months ago)

sfumato @ #61286: Got one group, all four connections immediately afterwards. Sign of a great grid. Well done! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #61291: Physics really needs to be physical to make the group work, and you should accept singular values, e.g. element, instead of just plurals. And as for pokemon.... (2 years, 9 months ago)

Aetees @ #61267: Well worn groups but quite fun. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Rowena @ #38753: Good fun. Agree with DH! (2 years, 9 months ago)

haywood @ #61267: 3/10 - ya got me. Clever grid. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ade @ #61260: Ah, memories of Robert Lindsay. Thank you (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ade @ #61256: Really good. Thank you (2 years, 9 months ago)

B @ #61220: I've marked this down because I put answers of "old coins" and "hotels" which were both rejected. Need some licence, some flexibility in it. (2 years, 9 months ago)

B @ #61267: I'm not into Will Smith, so that was tough (2 years, 9 months ago)

Anisa @ #61118: 10/10! Thoroughly enjoyable (2 years, 9 months ago)

Dolp @ #61279: Might change it then, thanks (2 years, 9 months ago)

Enzed @ #61279: I don't think "back in the loop" is a phrase- "in the loop" is the only one in common use (2 years, 9 months ago)

Anon @ #48141: Good easy puzzle. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Fiona @ #28219: Excellent grid... I knew the connections but couldn't work through the redherrings. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Hamburger @ #61276: Pretty good overall. The sharper line is a bit of a stretch though. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Fiona @ #61276: Excellent grid. Love the description that goes along with Eamonn. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Dave @ #61238: Found it challenging and ran out of time having got 2, but got the connections once the wall was resolved. V good! (2 years, 9 months ago)

barry womble @ #61263: Enjoyed, thanks. (2 years, 9 months ago)

B @ #61257: I've marked you down on the answers - "people who write" - I said authors; and I also used a different word for your criminals, and my answer was just as good (2 years, 9 months ago)

B @ #61222: Nice one, but I think those anagrams have been done before. 10/10 for me, so I'm happy (2 years, 9 months ago)

Jesus @ #36088: SYNONYMS! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Dave @ #61208: Fair enoughski. I would argue that they are all fairly well known pizza varieties here in the UK. Think Vegetable Supreme is a Pizza Hut one, Meat Feast is a pretty common name across different places. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Trillium @ #61224: Fun 2 play! (2 years, 9 months ago)

B @ #23323: Why would anyone but the oddest youngster know about "first person shooter games"? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nick @ #42770: The answers for two of them are 'time', I would make it so two sets aren't the same. (2 years, 9 months ago)

paul @ #61222: Can;t believe I couldnt see the anagrams. Well done! (2 years, 9 months ago)

misof @ #61118: Lovely grid, easy but really enjoyable! (could also accept pleonasms for the group you call tautologies) (2 years, 9 months ago)

Avenger @ #8637: Trades not accepted. Neither is this grid - useless (2 years, 9 months ago)

Avenger @ #8625: Worthless grid (2 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #61039: General note: Just because you haven’t heard of something doesn’t mean it isn’t a perfectly valid entry on a perfectly good grid. “Too niche?” “Too obscure?” Have you ever watched Only Connect ffs? Regard learning something new as a good thing or, alternatively, don’t do frickin’ puzzles. (2 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #61210: I like this one for originality of the Tim group but it’s not a unique solution BB. You can swap Skinner with Burns I’m afraid. (2 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #61201: Probably the most important single engagement in the liberation of Europe from the West after D-Day? Ummmm… yes I’ve heard of it before. You know you don’t need to know each and every clue to solve a connecting wall, right? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Thankyou @ #43252: I’d love to see Lee Mack in Enter the Dragon!! Enjoyed the wall, this one made us laugh! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Jesus @ #61184: The days of the week was terrible. +1 sin on your permanent record (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #61201: Modern history is a reasonable topic, but don't you think the falaise item is bit niche? Had you heard of it before? Have any other solvers? (2 years, 9 months ago)

B @ #60662: OK, but York was the only red herring, and once that was eliminated it was easy (2 years, 9 months ago)

Mickle @ #61146: ridiculous (2 years, 9 months ago)

Mickle @ #61146: Ridiculous (2 years, 9 months ago)

Hamburger @ #61189: This is good. (2 years, 9 months ago)

socrates @ #60982: probably my favourite grid yet! went far too simple and merely guessed at colours for the black/green/red/pink connection, so missed out there :( thoroughly enjoyed the concept, thank you (2 years, 9 months ago)

foldylock @ #21280: got twisted thinking about william taylor but overall a good one (2 years, 9 months ago)

B @ #61019: Good stuff, but solved quickly. (2 years, 9 months ago)

B @ #61039: The dogs are a bit obscure. If I saw an Akita in the street, I wouldn't know it. Same with Maltese. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #61184: Chew is perfectly acceptable, even normal, in much of Britain. Didn't like the Cali group though, never come across bungalow or roll in that context. Are they common terms in the US or elsewhere? (2 years, 9 months ago)

nighttime @ #30387: It is "run around" not "turn around" (2 years, 9 months ago)

socrates @ #61153: @Nighteyes PubG is quite a famous Battle Royale I would say. I agree it's probably not the most obvious available answer, but I think it's perfectly reasonable to expect a fair number of people to recognise it as a battle-based video game. Your comment seems a tad condescending tbh - I thought the grid was a lot of fun (2 years, 9 months ago)

david A garcia @ #61184: I'm okay with the yod-dropping "toos-day" pronunciation, even though its not quite right to my ear, but "We'll take the chewb on Chewsday"? Not quoit roit, innit? (2 years, 9 months ago)

paul @ #61185: very nice. even though I guess one group because they all started with R haha (2 years, 9 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #61181: Great grid - fresh. Thanks (2 years, 9 months ago)

BettyBoop @ #61164: Good grid, thanks (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #61118: Extremely simple but delightful. (2 years, 9 months ago)

WrinklyDink @ #60878: That was a good grid! I wondered if I would finish it, but in the end I had to settle for 4 / 4 groups and only 3 links. The fourth one got me. 7 out of 10! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #61092: Critic by name... My only problem was slipover. Not once in my entire life have I ever encountered the term. Is this an Americanism? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #61169: For the saw group, you should accept films as well as movies. If this site had a FAQ, that should be in it. In the Mine group, mine itself is the only real homograph ( "possessed by", and "hole where minerals are excavated"). The rest all form groups of related concepts, e.g. The teeth of two cogs may engage with each other, or two people may do so, or you may engage someone to work for you, but they all relate to essentially the same concept. Examples of good homographs are buffet ("finger foods", and "jostle"), and compound ("enclosed area", and "join together"). (2 years, 9 months ago)

A.C. @ #4720: Nicely perceived grid, but as a Canadian, my brow lowered at your choice of description, for the Great Lakes...lol. Being neither American or Canadian, and being the only ones in the world, we refer to them simply as they are, 'The Great Lakes'. I live between two and was lucky enough to be raised on the shore of another. I am blessed. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Simon @ #60245: Has no relation to the grid itself, but they are letters in PuzzGrid. Just a little easter egg, that's all. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #61019: Thanks for setting. It was easy, but that's not actually a crime, as I should probably remind myself (2 years, 9 months ago)

barry womble @ #61166: 5 stars for an easy grid with an elegant judicial herring. (2 years, 9 months ago)

felix888 @ #61166: Good grid. Thanks. (2 years, 9 months ago)

felix888 @ #61167: Enjoyed the overlapping themes. Nice one. Thanks (2 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #61167: Nice try. But leaving aside the humber question, Tyne is also a river, so could swap with Thames or Shannon. Therefore this is not a grid. 1* (2 years, 9 months ago)

foxholes @ #61167: Humber is not a river. It is an estuary. (2 years, 9 months ago)

RMP @ #61167: Nice theme with enough red herrings to make it satisfying to solve (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #61164: Nice groups, but very easy. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #61019: Good grid, but very easy. (2 years, 9 months ago)

barry womble @ #61164: Yeah. (2 years, 9 months ago)

barry womble @ #61165: Really liked this. More arcane Beatles stuff please! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #61156: @Tyvent: They're not really synonyms though. They can all just about be made to fit the definition, although I think rend is borderline, but at best they have similar but not identical meanings that can relate to each other in one specific context. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Anisa @ #61142: 10/10! Perfect (2 years, 9 months ago)

paul @ #61164: Loved it! (2 years, 9 months ago)

penstamon whippleanus @ #61147: Nothing niche there. Sport of kings. Good grid all round (2 years, 9 months ago)

Bob Dole @ #61139: Bob Dole approves this grid. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Tyvent @ #61156: I think synonym should be an acceptable answer for Rend etc. Still, a nice, quick board. (2 years, 9 months ago)

SF7 @ #61139: Ahh just missed out on full marks - not a sci fi fan so had no chance with that one! Good grid (2 years, 9 months ago)

SF7 @ #61143: Yeh you've got meter/metre completely wrong which makes it very difficult to solve. I like what you're going for overall and would make a great quiz were it not for the 3 minute time limit. It's 2 quizzes in one which seems too much for 3 minutes in my opinion. (2 years, 9 months ago)

WrinklyDink @ #61139: Not a bad grid, but could do with a check on the vowels group. "words" is a stretch, since one of them is three! (2 years, 9 months ago)

SF7 @ #61147: They are very well known darts players - not niche at all. Just because you dont know the answer doesnt make it niche. (2 years, 9 months ago)

turnip @ #61044: Why thank you, @mat. It's nice to hear. (2 years, 9 months ago)

turnip @ #61071: @phil dillson Yeah, really. Merriam-Webster, definition 3b "a deep pink" (although it usually shades towards orange pink, a fact they didn't mention) A common enough color word used on e.g. paper stock, costume jewelry etc. It's a named color in both CSS and X11, with RGB values #FF7F50 (2 years, 9 months ago)

SF7 @ #61153: Well I got full marks with a normal level of general knowledge. You dont need to know every single square to make the connections. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #61147: Good except for needing niche knowledge of obscure darts trivia. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #61139: Excellent example of a good, but not too challenging, grid. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #61143: Apart from assuming a verb where you had a noun in mind, I got all of these, but the connections were just too hard to make in the time available. To be honest, it would have been a reasonable grid if you had just listed the equivalents. But if you want to clue at one remove then keep the group logic simpler. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #61145: Did you actually intend to be as obscure as humanly possible? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #61153: Pubg war? Let me explain... The idea behind these grids is that you are supposed to use groups that people with a normal level of general knowledge have heard of. (2 years, 9 months ago)

SF7 @ #61154: You cant have two squares as piano, especially if you're left with those 2 groups at the end with limited guesses. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Dollymix @ #61137: Not a unique solution - Horton and Grinch could be swapped (Horton includes ton) (2 years, 9 months ago)

Tyvent @ #61137: Interesting notes. Maybe I just haven't felt most of these quibbles because I was introduced to puzzgrid via 'Only Connect' on the BBC, where especially the letter, word-in-word, and lesser known item stuff is very common. As far as Americanisms, for those unaware, puzzles on this site are groupable by country since vocabulary, pop culture, and other general knowledge are heavily influenced by your country (I mean, being American, I've tried British walls on here that I find impossible but are rated 'medium' since it's easier for Brits to work on walls with Britishisms, Berwick-upon-Tweed, and Jimmy Carr). To wit, I'd argue American-specific stuff on an American-tagged wall shouldn't detract solely on that basis. But that's just my theory. . . My GAME THEORY! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Pingu @ #61143: An interesting idea badly executed. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #61146: Yes, the countries group is clearly incorrect, no idea what it was meant to be about. Very poor. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #61146: Countries???? (2 years, 10 months ago)

SC @ #61143: 3.28 feet is a Metre not a meter. that is the US spelling and this is labelled as a UK grid. Cant read a Metre. (2 years, 10 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #61143: Good ideas - but some parts don't quite work (2 years, 10 months ago)

B @ #60981: Snooker odd balls only is a bit silly, and gh is always silent, so that's poor too, just saying four words contain two letters in common. Poor. (2 years, 10 months ago)

B @ #61032: OK, not terribly challenging (2 years, 10 months ago)

JonBob @ #61128: @Lindybeige That's because "of" and "a" are included in the list of valid responses. (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #61123: Nice bit of confetti - thank you (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #61121: Decent enough grid but very easy. Would have had full marks in less than 30 seconds but you should include movies for the film grouping! (2 years, 10 months ago)

James Williams @ #61138: I agree, JLSA. (2 years, 10 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #61121: Needs to accept lower case answers (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #61137: I think 3 star is about right. A couple of clues are quite tough outside of the States (the word candy in general for a start). And should accept synonyms for anything that has synonyms. A good enough grid but not perfect = 3 stars for me. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Bathfood @ #37515: Lots of fun. Thanks. (2 years, 10 months ago)

RMP @ #61139: Not too difficult (not many red herrings) but imaginative links. Very nice! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #61137: There's also the hard group with two very US-specific terms; I think people tend to downgrade when they come across clues that mean nothing to the rest of the world, like 'hard seltzer'. (2 years, 10 months ago)

journeysa @ #61137: I think people are turned off by that 'x-inside-the-word' stuff for sure. Also it doesn't help that you've got 5 Seuss characters, but you went with 'Daisy-Head Mayzie' to part of the Seuss grouping and not the Grinch. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Tyvent @ #61118: Yeah, I avoided red herrings since there was lots more to read than usual, and I figured folks that never studied these oddities before could use more time to identify the patterns. Anyway, I'm plappy to hease! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Tyvent @ #61137: Huh. Don't know why this is a 3 star quality so far. I think it's solid! Anyone: do you think folks are less enthused by the ___ [word] connections and x-inside-the word stuff? (2 years, 10 months ago)

JLSA @ #60954: This was solid - annoyed I didn't solve it but I don't know the drink in "Whizzer" (2 years, 10 months ago)

JLSA @ #61138: Game based on a British TV show that views "Colour" as an incorrect answer is probably more than just unfortunate - it is going to irritate people. (2 years, 10 months ago)

JonBob @ #61060: I'll take your word for it. I did a search before I posted the comment because I thought it could be a regionalism, and found basically no usage of "greetings card" in the wild. The most prominent UK source I found at www.gca.cards does not use the plural, and even the business called "The Greetings Card Company" is "the UK’s leading online greeting card shop!" I guess it shows that spoken language does not always permeate the written world as much as one might think. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #61119: I solved it but fluked two groups. 7/10 (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jimdas @ #61119: Just so happy I got the male names thing (2 years, 10 months ago)

JLSA @ #58387: Sparkling wine/water Barley wine/water That's a bit of a major no-no (2 years, 10 months ago)

JLSA @ #61103: Foods is far too vague for a category. Shame, because the rest of the grid is good. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Cockles @ #61118: Superb (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #61118: I like this. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Gridlington @ #61118: Very good! Love the malapropisms. My favourite was “it was so luxurious - it was like living in Uttoxeter!” (Utopia)!🤣 (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #61128: Nice and easy except the Wayne group - Wayne was the only one I'd heard of from that group. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Caz2 @ #14761: Bumblebee bat? (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #61118: Fun but a little too easy as there's no crossover but i like the originality. Always nice to get the confetti! (2 years, 10 months ago)

bloss @ #61118: very pleasing grid! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #61127: I got zero, but they were all getable. Nice mix of really good, fair groups. (2 years, 10 months ago)

JonBob @ #61118: Not very difficult due to no real crossovers, but really fun. (2 years, 10 months ago)

ElMukahe @ #61128: The rapper is known as Lil Durk, as opposed to Dirk (2 years, 10 months ago)

David @ #649: womens names but not girls names? (2 years, 10 months ago)

B @ #61092: Pullov and others were a bit obvious, so didn't really serve as red herrings with the Russians (2 years, 10 months ago)

B @ #61019: Good one, Enjoyed that (2 years, 10 months ago)

barry womble @ #61118: Intimidatingly high-brow. Brilliant. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #61128: I guessed 'cuts of meat' for the category including 'eyelets' and it said 'correct'! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Horatio @ #61104: @mat quite literally the easiest grid ever put up here - months of the year, world famous sports people - did you think Thatcher was a tennis racket manufacturer? What confused you? (2 years, 10 months ago)

Vicky @ #61092: great grid! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Horatio @ #61123: Nice grid, thanks. Maybe add 'films' for the Casablance group? (2 years, 10 months ago)

Vicky @ #61121: very good grid! (2 years, 10 months ago)

nighttime @ #61121: Mini is / was not a manufacturer. (2 years, 10 months ago)

bombaymixie @ #61019: Ooh loved this one!!!! A few red herrings...nicely done! (2 years, 10 months ago)

bombaymixie @ #61127: WOW! This was a brain-teaser. Well done ;) (2 years, 10 months ago)

freddgar @ #61127: Brilliant, I didn't have a clue on this Well done, well constructed VCM would be impressed, it's OC final level Answers obvious after the reveal, isn't it always ? Thanks for posting (2 years, 10 months ago)

barry womble @ #61101: Just a perfect grid. Fantastic. (2 years, 10 months ago)

barry womble @ #61121: Nice grid. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #61118: Best one in ages! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Trillium @ #61114: Very cool. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Trillium @ #61118: I'd like to forward this to the Department of Redundancy Department. 😃 (2 years, 10 months ago)

Paul @ #27132: Sneaky :-) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #61117: mouth group could also simply be geographical features. lessen group should allow get less or smaller. Trolley group are also all things found in workshops. (2 years, 10 months ago)

felix888 @ #61123: Satisfying Thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

Paul @ #27224: "Up" would also be correct for the "fishing terms" group.... I.E. - " Line up" "Beat up" Strike up" Hook up" (2 years, 10 months ago)

Mistet Tom @ #61100: Simple but good. An ellipse is curved though: it's not circular unless you count a circle as an ellipse with zero eccentricity. I don't (2 years, 10 months ago)

Tilly @ #61117: Portland Bill? (2 years, 10 months ago)

TNBC42 @ #61019: I don't know if this was an intentional misdirect (as this is my first time solving a grid), but the term "Carbon Copy" is pretty widely used. Not sure if this is an intentional part of the game or an oversight. Fun otherwise! (2 years, 10 months ago)

felix888 @ #61114: Easy once it clicked., but fun for a change. Thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

bearcules @ #61101: One of the best grids I've ever seen (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #61104: @mat; err, yeah, pretty easy. You struggled to recognise any of the UK politicians? (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jmelb @ #61093: Thanks! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #61039: Great grid - got it first time. Fun and tricky. Thanks. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Tilly @ #61093: I wondered the same thing. Last heard of, was the day following the F1 result. I do not think Fam is the kind of person able to morph and continue without a "reveal". I have looked at styles and comments but cannot recognise any signs. I could be wrong of course and if you read this Fam congrats on your new persona.🙂 (2 years, 10 months ago)

Plod @ #61118: Nice TY (2 years, 10 months ago)

Tyvent @ #61113: Your goodies row was inspired. Well done. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #61118: Loved this fresh grid! Needed to check my spelling though. Thanks! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jimdas @ #61091: Cheeky with the Nato alphabet there, got me proper. Nice one (2 years, 10 months ago)

phil dillson @ #61071: coral? really? (2 years, 10 months ago)

dsws @ #60951: P. doesn't exist outside your neighborhood, and C. doesn't exist outside your region. If it's going to require local knowledge like that, the rest should be easy enough that the whole thing is still possible. (2 years, 10 months ago)

misof @ #61101: 10/10 with 0:32 spare. Language anagrams were the last group I found, and I needed to find it to finish the wall as I didn't have enough correct Ians. Lovely wall, great choice of categories, fantastic overlaps - Hislop being an anagram of Polish is a great find! (2 years, 10 months ago)

felix888 @ #61100: good grid. thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #61110: Liked the originality of this grid. Thanks :-) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jmelb @ #61093: Hi! I was just wondering what happened to fam? Did he/she morph of just disappear ?: o (2 years, 10 months ago)

D @ #61101: Fun one. Lost two points here - I'd add "demonyms" and "man" (2 years, 10 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #61101: Superb grid Simon. I do love most of your grids and this was stellar. Loved all the crossovers and head stratching. 6 stars (out of 5) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Charliezard @ #61109: One of the answers says "be followed by" instead of "follow". There's a version without this mistake (#61110), but I don't think I can edit this one, unfortunately. (2 years, 10 months ago)

mat @ #61044: Really fun one, great job as always (2 years, 10 months ago)

mat @ #61104: *Me looking around nervously in American* This is supposed to be easy? (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #61104: Very good, nice couple of red herrings Straightforward after that 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 10 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #61091: I could have gone with Awards for the Oscar group but that's been done to death. - 'T' added to Quattro thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jesus @ #39131: Terrible grid. One red herring is enough, sinner (2 years, 10 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #61099: AU group is fine, but the rest are both loose and obscure. Id = apple? Game = end? (2 years, 10 months ago)

GusTheFox @ #61092: Yeah. I think, with the best will in the world, Critic’s complaints are gibberish (2 years, 10 months ago)

mat @ #61103: decent, the food group is pretty broad though (2 years, 10 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #61100: Didn't like 'tube'. Otherwise good. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #61103: The 'colleges' are all ivy league universities. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dave @ #61091: Very good, enjoyed the big red herring with the NATO alphabet. (2 years, 10 months ago)

oliver @ #61101: very good, very hard! (2 years, 10 months ago)

foxholes @ #61060: Excellent wall. I concur Greetings Card is absolutely fine. (2 years, 10 months ago)

ElMukahe @ #61099: Please capitalise! (2 years, 10 months ago)

ElMukahe @ #61101: Excellent grid chief, 10/10 (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #61019: Decent grid, but just a little too easy. 10/10 in less than 30 seconds. Nothing wrong with being on the easier side of course, needs to be inclusive but I think more experienced players will look for others for a challenge. Nice grid though, well done (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #61092: I think dropping the er is great as it confuses you because of the Soviet group. What exactly is a crippled word? All the words that are formed are plausible. It's a good grid, a little on the easy side if anything as I got full marks in less than a minute but there's nice misdirection and crossover and the groups are pretty unique. Well done! (2 years, 10 months ago)

VCM @ #61092: Good one. I thought I was critical! The final group had me foxed. (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #61060: Greetings card is 100% a thing. I managed to get them all anyway and within about 90 seconds. Great grid, nice red herring. (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #61019: Suggest adding "duplicates" to answer key. Nice grid. Got 6 points (all four connections, but only 2 groups) (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #61099: The groupings are not bad idea but there are some really bizarre entries, heat death?! Comes before game is a very clunky box as well. And pet peeve - please capitalise the start of a word as using lower case or all capitals is in itself a clue. (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #61097: First, the nitpick: The first letter in a cell should be capitalized, as per the style guide. The topics are a bit loose, especially the "Dream" group. In general, precise words, letters, phrases, anagrams, etc. are better than simply "related to", because that could mean so much, and the answer space can diverge widely. The "box" clue wasn't precise, as it can't be directly preceded. Also, although I got this group, "sky" was merely a sideline, not the focus of the topic at hand. Keep trying, you'll get better. (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #61100: Good grid but a couple of the groups were a bit London-centric. Harder for us Scots! Ended up with 6/10 (2 years, 10 months ago)

Critic @ #61092: I don't see the point of dropping the 'er' from the clothes - seems arbitrary, unless the idea is that 'Jump' might be mistaken for a horse gait. And 'leaving out letters' only (slightly) works when the new words are plausible words by themselves and not obviously crippled words. Also basically no overlap between categories. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Philip Cooke @ #60969: Nicely done. (2 years, 10 months ago)

pedant @ #61078: @turnip - "painters in Spain" was more accurate still, but hey... // To your point, it's a matter of opinion: were you to tell my Spanish better half they were no longer Spanish, since they have produced most of their work (and family) in another country, I fear you might get mashed :) // still liked the grid, though. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #60911: Good one, particular the fast row. Picky me I know, it's poleaxe, but I knew what you meant. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #61098: No idea what this is about, I could only guess at sportspeople, but didn't think it worth waiting three minutes to find out. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #61060: Err, Greetings Card is very much a thing. Not sure where you're from, but it's a perfectly normal everyday term in the UK, at least. (2 years, 10 months ago)

JonBob @ #61060: The problem is that "greetings" works fine in the red herring group, but "greetings card" isn't a thing. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Trillium @ #61044: Tax-free entertainment! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #61091: Not bad, although the fish group is incredibly obscure. One slight error - Quatro should be Quattro, with two Ts. (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #57936: My first attempt at a solving a picture wall. As a Yank, I did have difficulty with one connection (despite the fact that I recognized Mr. Blobby from years of watching Only Connect and QI), only garnering 4/10. Kicking myself for missing the connection with the shell group. Anyway, well done, thanks! Top rate. (2 years, 10 months ago)

paul @ #61084: Not sure Animal Farm is either SciFi or has become fact, but I get the idea. I really miss groups like 'all things you can ...' so top marks! (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #61078: @Pedant (and I say this as a Marylander (although I've only lived here for the past 30 years, a bit over half my life), that state which embraces Poe as a Baltimorean, even to the point of naming their football team and mascot in his honor, despite the fact that he was only here for a few years (on and off), considered Richmond his home, and just had the misfortune to die here.) (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #61078: @pedant He may have been born in Greece, but he lived half his life in Spain, and produced most of his artwork there. The description is accurate. (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #61086: I like it! More, please. I only got 5/10 (2 groups, 3 connections), but I cannot complain about the quality. Great red herrings. Five stars! (2 years, 10 months ago)

pedant @ #61078: great categories & red herrings. El Greco group category might recognise 'painters' and be more accurate on nationality (clue is in the name). (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #61085: Excellent puzzle, nice red herrings. Only 7/10 for me, I'm afraid. My answer wasn't specific enough for the Morpheus group. The Evens group might be a bit overused, but what can you do? There's only so many esoteric connections one can think of. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Pingu @ #61073: Ugh, bloody awful. Despite your comment, I would still like an apology. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #61078: Fun and easy. Thanks :-) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #61081: @Lindybeige - Manga/ Anime - Japanese 2D drawings similar to cartoons (2 years, 10 months ago)

gbox @ #61078: Fun! But I'd add the American spelling "mustache" as an answer for that category. (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #60954: 7/10. Couldn't find the connection in the "man" group. Nice grid. Keep 'em coming (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #61078: Sweet (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #60951: Nice one. I confettied it, but I had to guess about the connection in the Chili group, because I only knew two of them. (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #60941: Welcome. Nice first grid. Other than the stretch you mentioned (which can be rectified by dropping the first three words of your answer, it was fine. I only got 4/10, but not because of the lack of quality on your part. (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #60916: Confettied in 26 seconds. I didn't find it personally hard, but nice red herrings and good quality overall. Well done. (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #60915: Nice hard one. I only scored 3.5 points Great quality, though. (2 years, 10 months ago)

CKJ @ #61078: Sadly, I lost a point because I used the American spelling of mustache. (2 years, 10 months ago)

felix888 @ #61071: Good one. I missed the Johnny link, but enjoyable. Thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #61081: The link category for Bleach was a mystery to me even after I saw the answer. Er... what's that? (2 years, 10 months ago)

felix888 @ #61078: enjoyable (2 years, 10 months ago)

RMP @ #61060: Not too tricky but fun. I am obviously old fashioned but greetings seems perfectly correct to me and a good red herring (2 years, 10 months ago)

RMP @ #61081: Nice! 10/10 but frankly I was lucky to guess the one to omit from the "hair" line (2 years, 10 months ago)

haywood @ #61053: a bit easy without any crossovers but still nice (2 years, 10 months ago)

haywood @ #61078: nice one (2 years, 10 months ago)

haywood @ #61060: Greetings as a plural is an unkosher red herring. (2 years, 10 months ago)

haywood @ #60853: Nice idea but I might have had a chance if the graphics were a little bigger. Couldn't make out what half of them were (2 years, 10 months ago)

JonBob @ #61060: Good overall, but I don't think "Greetings" fits in its group. "Greeting" would. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Pooka @ #60993: I love all the red herrings, here, but it would be good to have more synonyms accepted for the answers to the dual meaning and match questions. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #61073: You were right - it is not popular. What a waste of time. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #61074: Weever. The list of artists is too loose. Almost any set of forenames can apply to almost any group if it is big enough. (2 years, 10 months ago)

beforan @ #61073: definitely enjoyed, but felt cheated out of my confetti because the cataclysm group didn't accept an abbreviation :P (2 years, 10 months ago)

David @ #614: Touch wood isn't really a thing, and those can also be connected as sports equipment (2 years, 10 months ago)

felix888 @ #61074: enjoyable. Thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

mat @ #61073: This is an unapologetically video game themed grid, and as a gamer I enjoyed it a lot. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #61073: Thanks for the warning. I'll skip this one. (2 years, 10 months ago)

B @ #61001: I'm surprised bowl, dish, plate and mug were not listed as Chinese too. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jimdas @ #60959: Never heard of a balloon dog. Confetti still. Thanks, good one! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Aetees @ #61073: This is an unapologetically video game themed grid. I don't expect it to be popular but I hope a few gamers might like it. (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #60909: I portrayed Charley on stage, more than 40 years ago. (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #60904: I have been around for 59 years, and I have never seen a payphone with that quality in the US (which you flagged as being your country), so "typically" seems to be an overstatement (The same for another item in that group) (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #60873: Yeah, I officially got a 10/10, but really only got a 7 because I said "born in Tennessee" Ah, well. Close. Nice grid. MLKJ was obviously intended as a red herring for a different group, but as others here said, it was too easy to peel him off. (2 years, 10 months ago)

JonBob @ #61053: Excellent. Limited-info themed grids tend to bore me, but this was unexpectedly great. I'd like to thank Rush for the knowledge needed to make the connections. (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #60871: The "Boy" group was a connection I was unfamiliar with, alas. Nice work, though. (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #60869: Solved it in 42 seconds. But still, nice quality. Can you add detail on the answers to the "Susan" group? I only got the connection because of two of the answers (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #60837: Another nice one. Look forward to seeing more. I confettied this one. The Richmond group didn't fool me for a second, but I'm ashamed at myself for not seeing the group with Island until after solving the wall. (it was the "default" group after getting the other three. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Rowena @ #61064: Nice (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #60824: Really nice one. Tried looking for first ladies, but only found three. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #61033: Not bad, but three of the groups with similar connections made it a bit too easy. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Paul @ #60974: Liked this too, but thought "music" would be acceptable answer as well as "Bands" (2 years, 10 months ago)

Vicky @ #60975: great grid! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Vicky @ #60990: great grid! (2 years, 10 months ago)

bearcules @ #61039: Great grid! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #61064: Nice one. Only got two groups, but on seeing all the connections I felt I should have been able to get them all, which is the definition of a good grid in my book. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #61034: I confess that I hadn't noticed that the definition of one group was just 'rivers'. I'd typed 'estuaries', which was accepted and makes the whole thing unique. (2 years, 10 months ago)

WiKa @ #36208: pretty good (2 years, 10 months ago)

Obscurious @ #60940: Love the name, loved the game. Common starfish (2 years, 10 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #61033: it might have accepted English as well as British otherwise its Ok (2 years, 10 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #61023: La? (2 years, 10 months ago)

Roger @ #61034: The problem is that 'Tyne' is also a river (and all of your rivers are also shipping forecast areas), so it can be swapped out with any of them to make an equally correct grid. So it's not a unique solution, sadly. But other than that, it's a great grid! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Tom @ #24775: Quite brilliant (2 years, 10 months ago)

BinDipper @ #61032: This is another one without a unique solution I'm afraid CC. There are several cities called Hamilton in the US so you can swap it with Chicago. (2 years, 10 months ago)

BinDipper @ #61034: Also, strictly speaking, the Wight group aren't all what you describe them as. (2 years, 10 months ago)

BinDipper @ #61034: I don't think there is a unique solution here. Maybe why people are seeing so many red herrings. Tyne can swap with Humber, Thames and Shannon and still provide a valid wall. I have no idea what Ace has been drinking. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Neil Davidson @ #61026: Presume you meant "debt" rather than "dept"? (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #61034: I don't see any of the crossovers others mention. All 4 groups were obvious and distinct. 30s job. Not a criticism, was quite a nice grid, just easy (for me, but apparently not for some others). (2 years, 10 months ago)

Bathfood @ #31073: Well balanced. And an opportunity for me to find out all about the Zodiac line. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Bathfood @ #50902: Wonderful. And well executed. Stand By Me is more famously a song by Ben E King. Since all the other songs are easily identified, maybe change this to a more distinctive Oasis song, such as Wonderwall. (2 years, 10 months ago)

VCM @ #61039: Nice one. Didn't get the dogs though (2 years, 10 months ago)

David M @ #61034: I put it harder than it is as the two groups I was left with needed luck to get in the three last goes. I should have sorted earlier. (You'll know which two when you've done it) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60974: As a fellow film buff, I loved this grid. Thanks :-) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #61034: Loads of crossovers- brilliant! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #61000: Funny grid! Thanks :-) Great crossovers and comments. (2 years, 10 months ago)

goom @ #29154: great one (2 years, 10 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #60936: nice cross overs, knew them bust just couldn't find the right groups (2 years, 10 months ago)

beforan @ #60853: This was great, but a bit of extra time (as is typical for picture or audio grids) seems fair. (2 years, 10 months ago)

barry womble @ #61018: Another great grid. (2 years, 10 months ago)

barry womble @ #60853: This is so brilliant, thanks! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Geraint Jones @ #60995: Enjoyed that. Thank you. (2 years, 10 months ago)

7ovana @ #50029: Pour les bières, j'ai simplement écrit "bière" et ce n'était pas pris en tant que réponse correcte. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #61019: Nice and easy straightforward grid 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 10 months ago)

7ovana @ #51678: Pour la catégorie des pâtisseries j'ai juste écrit pâtisseries et ce n'était pas accepté :) (2 years, 10 months ago)

edpo @ #61013: Very enjoyable! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Beezy @ #61015: Fair enough, updated (2 years, 10 months ago)

Bathfood @ #61014: Thanks. I liked the ooze line especially. (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #61001: A Great Wall rather than a great wall ;) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Atticus @ #61015: Should accep musicians or pop stars instead of 'mononymous celebrities' (2 years, 10 months ago)

RMP @ #60992: Rare combination of very tricky and very satisfying. Range of links, nothing too obtuse but it beat me 6/10 for me 10/10 for you. (2 years, 10 months ago)

KizzyLion @ #61013: Excellent challenge! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ö @ #61013: Nice grid (2 years, 10 months ago)

David Punter @ #61014: Nice grid but unfortunatelly didn't allow wound as an answer (2 years, 10 months ago)

Bathfood @ #61001: @SF7 Absolutely, hence why I graded it as easy. But it's a "Great Wall", wouldn't you agree? (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #61004: Couldn't do it but brilliant!! (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #61001: A bit too easy to work out the group without much thought imo (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #61004: Not within 3 minutes!! (2 years, 10 months ago)

aaron @ #61005: you're why ls got fired (2 years, 10 months ago)

Bathfood @ #60910: Great 5*. Thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

Bathfood @ #60979: A nice grid Thanks. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Bathfood @ #60979: (2 years, 10 months ago)

Bathfood @ #60995: Nice! The Woo line is just brilliant. I feel like "sell" is too non specific here. Otherwise a great grid. Thanks. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Bathfood @ #61011: Wow. I learned a lot from this grid. Hummingbird, Lane, Pea, and the entire Beck group. Thanks. I'm not sure pear is definitively in its group, in the way that the other five are. Otherwise, a great grid. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Flora @ #61008: *Bit of fun! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Avenger @ #8402: Great grid - thank you. Solved it but enjoyed the red herrings. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jesus @ #44346: Usually I leave jokes as comments that are insulting, but now I am just going to say "the"..... (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jesus @ #44455: Your grid is a whammy, so you may want to change your name (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jesus @ #44490: It may help if you at least TRY to care! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Bathfood @ #61003: Lordy, that was way too tough for this time of night (23:55). 6 Herrings that I can count. But it was good and lovely all the same. Thanks. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Mr. F @ #60227: this was a good puzzgrid. it made feel good about myself. good job. @turnip ur mom is too easy (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ant @ #60968: An enjoyable puzzle for the end of the day, thank you! :) (2 years, 10 months ago)

plod @ #60976: Hi, barry womble, it is a bit of a trick, he is actually listed as being both (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jesus @ #60941: Hope it is your last submission as well, this is my judgement. (2 years, 10 months ago)

firecrest2 @ #60981: this was too difficult for me, not a medium quiz imo (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60998: Quite good. It all works, with no 'swaps' I can spot, and some good red herrings for a couple of groups (one very funny). Still a bit unsatisfying that three groups were hidden word links. (2 years, 10 months ago)

ThunderMonk @ #60905: Cheers Spike! Glad you enjoyed it haha (2 years, 10 months ago)

David @ #593: SCTV? who's ever heard of that (2 years, 10 months ago)

Bathfood @ #32225: Hi. There's a really good grid here, let down by the Garfunkel line. I've googled Simon and The Whale, and all I get is a fairly new pub in NYC. Are you maybe thinking of Simon & The Witch, and conflating it with Jonah & The Whale? (2 years, 10 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #60980: Immensely hard but fair. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60966: Good,and I managed it with more than half a minute to spare, but it doesn't work - vanilla and mignonette can be swapped over, so at least two solutions are valid for the wall. I picked out the mignonette group by spuriously reasoning that they might all be used as names as well your link which doesn't exclude vanilla. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #60981: Good, but SOOO many possible answers for the group containing 'red'. (2 years, 10 months ago)

edpo @ #60979: OK, having played your other grid I got the Pink group this time :) Also to nitpick, the name of the band is "The Verve" not just "Verve". Enjoyable grid though! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #60982: Good, but there are far too many potentially correct link answers for the category containing 'black'. (2 years, 10 months ago)

edpo @ #60982: Fun grid! Almost got confetti but didn't spot the connection for the Pink group, was kicking myself afterwards (2 years, 10 months ago)

barry womble @ #60930: Too good for me. Thanks! (2 years, 10 months ago)

barry womble @ #60976: Top grid but wasn't Xerxes Persian? Still a top grid, thanks. (2 years, 10 months ago)

barry womble @ #60947: Nice one. (2 years, 10 months ago)

barry womble @ #60946: huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh Oh, Supermaaaan! Five stars, thanks. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Bathfood @ #10405: This could have been an excellent grid, with great connections. I was wondering how you could cram so many red herrings in without it breaking. Unfortunately, I have to agree with Mister Tom; the solution isn't unique, which is why people are struggling. e.g. put Cook, Haddock, Sturgeon, Palin into each others groups. This is what happens when the red herrings are circular. (2 years, 10 months ago)

PLD @ #60946: Did that in 2 shakes - and looked up that song too, TY (2 years, 10 months ago)

PLD @ #60967: I saw that and thought it was a typo! Will change it. btw, bit of a breezy day for you? (2 years, 10 months ago)

Tilly @ #60966: Nice ty (2 years, 10 months ago)

Tilly @ #60967: GordEn, being picky sorry! I enjoyed that (2 years, 10 months ago)

goom @ #16584: we did all of these and it didnt give it to me :( give me perfect score (2 years, 10 months ago)

eBarnz @ #60904: But, like, were you trying to include all the racist team names? (2 years, 10 months ago)

goom @ #45827: my first fiendish perfect score ;) shoutout lotr (2 years, 10 months ago)

nighttime @ #60892: very well thought out, fun! (2 years, 10 months ago)

JAM @ #60949: Thanks! I'd edited it but then realised it just posted a new version (#60952) rather than amending this one. I can't seem to delete it. (2 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #60699: Easy ( 28 secs) but very nicely put together, and a bit different to many grids (2 years, 10 months ago)

eBarnz @ #60941: Great first grid! I enjoyed your comments in the answers. (2 years, 10 months ago)

RMP @ #60960: Very satisfying to solve! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Flora @ #60941: Actually I thought it was a good group - not a stretch. Well done. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Cristobal @ #60954: Well I didn't get any, but I learnt some new words for root veg! 😄 Nearly got the soft drink one, but not sure about Barrier. Are you referring to Barr's? The other's contain brand names but Barr's is a manufacturer. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jane @ #60947: Nice grid, but the answers for the rhyming slang one don’t all relate to the question. You’ve got Ruby Murray in the question but rattle and tank in the answer! (2 years, 10 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #60935: Jackknife should contain full fruit name - something like 'grapple' would work better (2 years, 10 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #60949: Needs work on definitions (2 years, 10 months ago)

F91W @ #60941: TY. Got there in the end! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Helen @ #60922: Need to explain more for the group than just bluey (2 years, 10 months ago)

Helen @ #60920: Agree with ace. Also it’s citizen Kane not cane (2 years, 10 months ago)

Rustic @ #60930: Delightfully hard. Thanks! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60900: Very good - couldn't sort my last two groups - never knew brave fitted into the group bitbdud, and just didn't spot the Broken link, until I'd used all my lives. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60903: Ok grid. Two obvious groups, with th badly worded links, two a bit harder to spot, but with good links. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #60923: Gravy train, not chain. (2 years, 10 months ago)

PLD @ #60879: Some good alternatives there Igor. Neat solutions. TY (2 years, 10 months ago)

barry womble @ #60910: Very high quality grid - Only Connect level. Nice. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #60920: Inconsistent capitalisation serves only to confuse, misspelling of everyday words like "Suger" is unacceptable. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Igor @ #60879: Lovely idea for us oldies. Thanks. May I suggest a couple of gentle changes? 'Darn sing wean' -> 'Darn sink wean'; 'Rock sea muse sick' -> 'Rock sea mew sick'; 'Ray moans' -> 'Ram owns'. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dave @ #60878: Thanks. Good level of difficulty, makes you think but 10/10able. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Enzed @ #60896: Please include more generic answers in future- surely "phone" should be enough and not need the brand name (2 years, 10 months ago)

Cristobal @ #60873: Yep, same comment really; there were only 4 people's names so that was easy. (2 years, 10 months ago)

sfumato @ #60824: Wow, that was brutal. Clever though... I got the "sense" group but I thought they were groups of animals (thinking pride of lions, the amazing joke "a crime of men," also tried to rationalize my choice with a war of Wildebeests and a sense of... dolphins? Dunno. Also thought for sure the Michelle group was first ladies' names, but of course Pam and Sadie stuck out. (2 years, 10 months ago)

F91W @ #60890: Super grid. FCOTD. TY. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Mark @ #60873: I like the animals clue, kicked my self for not seeing it earlier. Died in Memphis is tough, but the fact they're all names is a giveaway (guessed that group straight away, with no idea of the connection). Thanks for sharing! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Mark @ #60699: A nice grid, but if you know all of the blanks it is a bit on the easy side. Still, good work, thanks! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Mark @ #60819: Nice grid! In the 'more info' for the detectives, there's a typo: "Rex Stout bools" should read "books". (2 years, 10 months ago)

B @ #60699: Good one. Just nicely testing. I'd much rather do one like this and get it right than frown at an obscure one. (2 years, 10 months ago)

B @ #60780: Poor. Short pier simply does not fit with the other clues. It's a silly phrase, however much you try to justify it. (2 years, 10 months ago)

QwiziRascal @ #60892: Great grid, thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

QwiziRascal @ #60873: Some good cross overs with sins but just having 4 names makes it a bit too easy plus some of the themes have been done a lot (2 years, 10 months ago)

mat @ #60873: Great one, the died in Memphis got me but it was still fun. (2 years, 10 months ago)

sfumato @ #60873: Great grid! (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #60886: Decent enough grid - bit of confusion but also far from impossible. Would maybe include songs for one of the groups? (2 years, 10 months ago)

ThunderMonk @ #60870: Fair point SC! Think I’d played around with options and then didn’t properly adjust the description after. Edited now, thanks for the feedback. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Mr Ruth @ #52898: lol @Trillium I didn't have much of a problem +L+ratioed (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60886: Looks an awful jumble with too many possibilities for the first and second groups I saw. Easie than it seemed, after I gave up on the obvious two groups, and found another, which narrowed things down. Some very obscure entries for two lines, but still enjoyable.v good (2 years, 10 months ago)

PLD @ #60879: Dare I say, Freddgar, a little easier past a certain age!? (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60877: Very good wall. Really tricky, but still logical and doable, really well thought out groups and a couple of good redherrings. Only had 37 seconds and one life left. Feel silly that the radish group connection was the one I didn't spot unti I'd sorted the grid. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #60855: I tried 'amazement' and 'exclamation' and several other wortds for one category, but nothing from the lost of words you typed. It is a frustration with the system, I acknowledge.

Freddgar @ #60853: @edpo think it's the browser rather than the OS. I'm using a Android tablet, with Opera half of the emojis don't work. But with Chrome all are OK, heh ho. (2 years, 10 months ago)

RMP @ #60859: Nice grid, different sorts of links. Horrible definition for the "Shadow" row. (2 years, 10 months ago)

edpo @ #60853: Sorry to hear that Lindybeige -- I think it depends more on your operating system's emoji support than on your browser, so unfortunately it might not work too well on some systems (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hypatia @ #60853: Nice! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #60853: Half the icons were just squares on my screen. I tried it in two browsers and it was the same. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60853: Really good, though I had to restart as some emojis were too small to see clearly on my phone (e.g. the swan was almost invisible on the normal background) without zooming in, which wasted time. (2 years, 10 months ago)

edpo @ #60865: Nice grid, although "howl" doesn't have a silent H (at least not if you talk proper like what I do) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60851: Not great - too many overlaps between groups, and definitions. The idiom group just doesn't hang together. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60849: Very good. Loved all the groups - the synonym group was very sneaky, using different meanings of the same word,the Curter group made me laugh, the Marshall group was the one that leapt out and helped me start to sort the red herrings. (2 years, 10 months ago)

maaaaty @ #60859: Enjoyed the hidden Ibis, thank you (2 years, 10 months ago)

Tilly @ #60825: (2 years, 10 months ago)

anthony danton @ #48141: a good grid (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #60824: Great grid! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Wordworry @ #60849: Good challenge but disagree with one of the set definitions:) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ben Holliday @ #60806: So pleased to have received a 10/10. Quite easy but still enjoyed! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Snackula @ #60806: (2 years, 10 months ago)

Anzah @ #28438: Then everything changed when the fire nation attacked (2 years, 10 months ago)

JB @ #60806: Liked that one... (2 years, 10 months ago)

chanale @ #60824: Good call, will add- and thanks so much!! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #60824: Good one. Really thought I was going to hate the answers of the two groups that beat me, but they actually make good sense and are only slightly obscure. (Oh, you might add novel to the book group answer terms). (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #60811: Aye decent grid - thanks! (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #60829: My apologies on that particular point! I did do research on that but missed Danny La Rue. Have only ever heard the name as rhming slang as that is all a bit before my time! Apologies for that particular point though, thank you. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #60829: @SF7 I think you should do some fact-checking yourself. Danny La Rue was a famous female impersonator appearing in a number of movies and West End productions and with regular TV appearances in the 1960s/70s (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dan @ #60826: (2 years, 10 months ago)

Colmac @ #60811: Good one. Well thought out. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Paul @ #60716: Medium (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #37982: Mass and weight are two different things yes, but to suggest they are two different 'concepts' is bizarre. In our atmosphere, because of gravity, any mass will have a weight as weight is a product of mass and gravitational force. (2 years, 10 months ago)

penny @ #37982: not the correct format. (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #60829: Again, no crossover!! There needs to be some misdirection/red herrings. I sorted all 4 groups again in about 20 seconds because there are some answers that simply have to go together. Also no idea why it's all in capitals and Sphynx is spelt wrong. Also - when you say LaRue you either mean an American christian band who are brother and sister OR you have misspelt LaRoux, who initially was a duo but then went solo and she is a female through and through. So there is both a spelling mistake and a grouping mistake in one. Not hoping to sound too harsh here - but a bit of planning and reseach before a grid and ALWAYS double check spelling as some grids will use deliberate spelling errors as part of their hints and answers. (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #60809: Again, can't really see any crossover. Managed to sort the groups within 15 seconds just using logic and things that seemed to go together. And from there it was pretty easy to find the themes. Nice enough grid, but I prefer a few red herrings. (2 years, 10 months ago)

nighttime @ #60796: @Dave: you are not alone :( (2 years, 10 months ago)

RMP @ #60791: A big harsh on the scoring, but a lovely grid. (2 years, 10 months ago)

felix888 @ #60699: Fun, Thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

felix888 @ #60787: Also confetti. Enjoyable, thanks. (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #60819: @Spikethecat Will do. Thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

Tyvent @ #60814: Agreed. Liked it! It looks like you submitted the same grid three times to fix typos. Instead, you can fix a grid with typos by using the puzzle link sent to your email. Keeps things neater. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60787: Suitably fun and tricky. Thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

urmom42069 @ #60821: titty slap (2 years, 10 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60791: Excellent fun grid. Thanks 5* (2 years, 10 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60819: Good grid thanks. Please add "caesars" to your emperors group. Thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #60821: "Starts with letter _" can arguably apply to three groups. There should be more differentiation to make sure only one connection is feasible (2 years, 10 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60820: Fun grid - thanks for making it challenging and solvable without being too obscure :-) (2 years, 10 months ago)

bigmac92402 @ #60821: I would argue on the P one but nice grid (2 years, 10 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #60808: Bridle has a suffix, not a prefix. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60809: Really liked this grid. Thanks. And this has been a great one in a sea of recent rubbish. Well done :-) 5* (2 years, 10 months ago)

felix888 @ #60808: happy with a 10! enjoyable thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

felix888 @ #60816: satisfying (2 years, 10 months ago)

Avenger @ #8374: Another grand grid - thank you 👌👍👏 (2 years, 10 months ago)

Avenger @ #8373: Excellent grid. Neat crossovers. Thank you. 👌👍 (2 years, 10 months ago)

Avenger @ #8369: How about some English counties questions? Too US centric - given I had filtered on UK grids this was (another) disappointment - sort it Puzzgrid. (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #60770: No crossover which makes it very easy. Couple of typos as mentioned elsewhere (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #60709: Thank you! (2 years, 10 months ago)

dud @ #60644: Good, Caz2 , for caz2 , Montgomery burns is mr burns from the Simpsons. (2 years, 10 months ago)

WrinklyDink @ #60787: A nice grid to work on when you're tired. Helps your brain to relax. Like Est289, got my confetti! Good game. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Est289 @ #60814: Great grid! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dave @ #60808: Good grid, ta. Not too sure about those "homophones" though! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #60791: Excellent. (2 years, 10 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #60787: Ok - but needs crossovers (2 years, 10 months ago)

Sue @ #60796: This grid doesn’t work. Work give answer to last group (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #60809: Nice grid. The "Chemical Plant" group was not in my sphere of knowledge, and although I got credit for the "Casablanca" group, I mentally deducted a point, because my answer was not specific enough, and I know VCM would have asked me for more specificity. (2 years, 10 months ago)

edpo @ #60809: Nice grid! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Philip Cooke @ #60809: I enjoyed this one. Difficult enough to make me think but not impossible to do. Thanks. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jesus @ #47191: Deadnaming? Really? (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #60738: "Change the first letter to T and make some word" is too broad. The resulting words should be in the same category. (2 years, 10 months ago)

edpo @ #60797: This grid seems to be broken. Bolivia is in there twice, and it doesn't let me actually finish the puzzle. (2 years, 10 months ago)

edpo @ #60806: Delicious! (2 years, 10 months ago)

dud @ #60690: Lots on numbers, Mad one. not bad not great. (2 years, 10 months ago)

dud @ #60804: Liked this one, not too obvious, not stupidly hard and nonsensical. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Sparked @ #60386: The acronyms seem random and the lion king one is a bit of a weird one. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Super Tom G @ #60795: Too easy xx (2 years, 10 months ago)

chris @ #60699: Great grid, not too difficult. (2 years, 10 months ago)

freddgar @ #60797: The Uganda row has no explanation - national birds ? The Mali row doesn't reveal an answer. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Aetees @ #60791: Very enjoyable (2 years, 10 months ago)

ThunderMonk @ #60784: Very enjoyable, thanks - great grid! One suggestion to adjust linking term to “infinit”, as it didn’t accept infinite, but no biggy :) Blink-2 & Sleeping 8 particularly fun. (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #60754: Funny, I figured Triumph models would be one of the groups, but the only one I knew of was the red herring. Knowing nothing of planes or sportscars, I ended up with only a 3 (1 group, 2 connections). High quality puzzle, but difficult for my knowledge set. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Mrsbusman @ #60784: We loved this one! (2 years, 10 months ago)

GBRA @ #60386: also the lion king one sucks (2 years, 10 months ago)

GBRA @ #60386: acronyms are beyond poor (2 years, 10 months ago)

Mistet Tom @ #60756: It was probably doable in the time, but I needed to go to bed earlier first. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Mistet Tom @ #60754: ... so of course I put Aircraft. Can't win them all! Too young to remember Triumph, but got it resolved . Thx for setting (2 years, 10 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #60790: Wondering if a Indie Rock band would consider themselves a Boy Band (2 years, 10 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #60754: Fighters and planes were in the definitions, aeroplane is now included, searching synonyms for monsoon include all the other rain definitions that are on the grid. Either way thanks for the positive comments (2 years, 10 months ago)

Est289 @ #60787: Brilliant grid! I got my confetti! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dan @ #60754: superb grid. many crossovers loved it - well done (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dan @ #60699: nice concept - very easy though - no red herrings / crossovers (2 years, 10 months ago)

barry womble @ #60756: thumbs up, superlative grid. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #60754: Monsoon is a wind, not a type of rain (@Jane: Also Plane and Fighter were not recognised.) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #60786: Aussie Aussie Aussie (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #60756: Clever, but pretty much impossible to solve in 3 minutes. Still only got one group after a reload. Well done, cheers. (2 years, 10 months ago)

DoubleHappy @ #60756: Always excellent (2 years, 10 months ago)

Lynne Dixon @ #60733: Would not accept tea (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jane @ #60754: Excellent grid, but sad that I didn’t get full points because the word “aeroplane” wasn’t recognised. “Airplane” is an Americanism. You should at least allow both! (2 years, 10 months ago)

felix888 @ #60770: Enjoyable and do-able. Thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #60754: You're not alone Freddgar - my second car was a Triumph Herald (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dark Horse @ #60699: Great. (2 years, 10 months ago)

RMP @ #60769: 2 typos - Brasila should be Brasilia and Guiness should be Guinness. Otherwise you spend a long time looking for other "one letter missing" things. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #60754: Nice and easy straightforward grid. Learned in a Toledo (showing my age) 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 10 months ago)

WrinklyDink @ #60754: Great grid! Nuked in 52s flat, but some very good connections there and some red herrings which confused me until I sorted a couple other groups out. Thanks for the sport! (2 years, 10 months ago)

F91W @ #60754: TY. Tricky, but we got there! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dark Horse @ #60756: Prime Ministers. Again. Sigh. (2 years, 10 months ago)

John @ #38439: My favourite one yet - loved that I knew Aubrey was Boycie's real name (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #60755: While I got the group contain "covenant", it does not really belong in the stated category. The group containing "baboon", which I also got, was a bit loosey-goosey (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ade @ #60740: Excellent grid. Kombat did for me, I’m afraid. Thank you Sam (2 years, 10 months ago)

me @ #13910: Very good - liked the k one (2 years, 10 months ago)

me @ #37981: A bit easy - ii one is too obvious - but ok. (2 years, 10 months ago)

me @ #25020: Good, if you are aware of classical references. Liked the hippocampus red herring - had to blip around the five to get the right combination. (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #33156: Very easy, but the "spider" group has been done to death. Seen it in so many grids (2 years, 10 months ago)

me @ #55969: Enjoyable grid, not too difficult, prime group is nice one (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #60729: Nice. Got hit by a couple of those red herrings (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #60734: Thanks, I'd got the Close one, but Times made me groan out loud. Well done sir. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #60734: @Ace - I've added explanations. Cheers. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #60733: Very clever, even though the anagram meta-link only becomes clear after the event. Could use more red herrings to get it out of the Easy grade. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #60730: Link words should be as short as possible. Do not require the guesser to type plurals. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #60734: Not bad, but could use more explanations. No idea what X has to do with Close or Times. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Paul @ #60637: "ADD N" should be acceptable? (2 years, 10 months ago)

bombaymixie @ #60699: I couldn't guess the words but i got all the links...aghhh this was such a good grid, well done! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Bathfood @ #49709: Really fun to do thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

StinkyPete @ #60712: Nice grid. 10/10 but I got lucky on a couple of the groups. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #60744: Two groups based on some obscure game, TV show, Anime, whatever. And I could just about accept Jo as a girl's name, but Cara? Must try harder. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ade @ #60729: Nice one. Thanks Sam (2 years, 10 months ago)

Tyvent @ #60650: Well, let's not be too hard on Sanity. Clearly, someone stole their candy, kicked their puppy, and lied about it on national television. Or something like that. A so-so puzzgrid might've triggered me in that situation, too. Anyway, all notes taken on the Olympics grouping (funny the way opinions were scattered on that one). I'll work on getting the links tighter. Thanks for the feedback! (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #60681: Wow. That was tough. I got none of the groups during the round, although I did get three of the connections. Nice amount of read herrings. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Tilly @ #60709: Neatly done (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60708: Good grid,but one line had just about the most obscure things that could fit into it , which made sorting through the red herrings almost impossible. Loved the obvious group, which turned out not to be a group. (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #60699: Nice idea but a little on the easy side - full marks in less than 30 seconds (2 years, 10 months ago)

Css @ #60701: A fun grid, but not a fan of categories as specific as the Johnny English one. Good otherwise! (2 years, 10 months ago)

David M @ #60704: Not a fan of this one, without spoilers there were far too many alternative reasons for these animal groupings that work. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #60688: Nice. (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #60650: If I'm honest - I'm not a huge fan of the grid as some the links feel a bit forced (to have 3 medals that feature in pretty much every competition and then the very specific mascot from one specific Olympics is a bizarre grouping imo) - but that comment from Sanity is... well its insane. Whoever you are - I hope you're okay! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60685: I only got 7. Can't believe I couldn't spot the connection for the Table group. (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #60685: Pretty easy but only got 7/10 because for the group of birds, you dont seen to accept the word bird?! Maybe widen the terms accepted. Other than that good effort on the grid. (2 years, 10 months ago)

barry womble @ #60679: Really liked this. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Plod @ #60678: L, I was thinking of the other grid - sorry you meant nip, short for nippon? ALL of those names were like insults - it was war time - they were the enemy of each other. None would be used now - it is meant in historical context. (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #60653: @Hannah G Fair enough - I stand corrected! :) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60687: Great - tricky. Got two lines and three links. Just couldn't see the Snake connection. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Plod @ #60678: samurai? I thought they were considered nobility? Unless you mean something else. Unintended-apologies. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60670: Had to restart - so many tricky hidden/ wordplay groups, I needed longer to see what was there. Loved 'coles', and the red herrings for that line. Not sure 'corporate' works properly in its group - can't describe why without giving away the link, and the other clues in the group. (2 years, 10 months ago)

L @ #60678: Hey, the word you used to refer to "Japanese soldier" is considered a slur. The rest of the grid was good; maybe find another word for that category? (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hannah G @ #60653: Thanks for the feedback - I did mistakenly put colonel punishment instead of corporal punishment in the description. resister however is a word - it describes someone who resists government policies (2 years, 10 months ago)

Bindipper @ #60650: Bit OTT Sanity? why bother writing in the reason? It's in your head anyway and your performance isn't being viewed by the country. I have more of a problem with whether the Panda group is so open that the solution could be considered "non-unique". (2 years, 10 months ago)

WrinklyDink @ #60673: One group's a bit odd, I ain't never heard anyone use that word to mean "strike from above". That's a hit... 7/10 (2 years, 10 months ago)

starfairy @ #60679: Ditto. Extra good at the end trying to work out those last difficult ones. Ty (2 years, 10 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60640: Good grid. TY (2 years, 10 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60652: Fun thanks :-) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Rys @ #60650: @sanity wow. Churl? Lame? Ego? I have another word. Projection. Or did the grid mark you wrong and you lost the $1000 puz tournament? Well it cant be that so projection then. Now hush (2 years, 10 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60678: Thrilled to get confetti on one of your grids. Thanks! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60679: Great, tricky grid. Thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #60675: I'm such an idiot. I never put Turkey in the right group. (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #60650: @sanity Disagree with you strongly. How exactly would you propose they do so so that it will not result in false positives or false negatives? I (2 years, 10 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60667: My kinda grid. Thanks :-) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60661: Overall good grid. Frozen was released in 2013 BTW, so I got that group wrong. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60671: Fun - thanks :-) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60676: Good red herrings - thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

Sanity @ #60650: It’s churlish that you chose to code the compound word animals answer in a way that makes it more likely to be found wrong and even more lame that you excuse yourself by telling others they shouldn’t care. Glad your ego is more important than player fun. (2 years, 10 months ago)

liam @ #30596: please read other books (2 years, 10 months ago)

socrates @ #60641: thought the red herrings were good, thank you! (2 years, 10 months ago)

socrates @ #60645: didnt get the cryptocurencies link ! (guessed characters in Zelda which was a total stab in the dark). and i really enjoyed the sun/star red herring, got caught on that for a little while before I switched tack - lot of fun, thank you! (2 years, 10 months ago)

socrates @ #60646: Think one of the groups (i.e Richard, Chris, James, Jeremy) was too easy to get even if you don't know the connection given the rest of the grid. Otherwise a lot of fun (2 years, 10 months ago)

socrates @ #60655: Really enjoyed this! (2 years, 10 months ago)

socrates @ #60659: Great fun! Enjoyed the amount of crossovers (2 years, 10 months ago)

firecrest2 @ #60659: Really enjoyable thanks, glad to have got the confetti :) (2 years, 10 months ago)

David @ #60659: the religious one can also be one of those connections where each word can be split into two separate words. (2 years, 10 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #60662: Ok - but needs more crossovers (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60659: Great. I only just got Rabbit into the right group before I ran out of lives. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60652: Nice and simple. Thanks. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60653: Great ideas. Shame rank wasn't accepted as an answer. @SF7 - the misspelling of resistor is what gave that group away for me. It was like an extra clue to look for hidden words. I find it annoying when words are misspelled and and it turns out it's just because the setter can't spell, they're using a word that doesn't exist as an actual answer, and I waste time looking for hidden words. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dave @ #60659: Bit of a bastard! I wasn't quick enough but good connections (2 years, 10 months ago)

felix888 @ #60378: good grid. thanks. (2 years, 10 months ago)

felix888 @ #60664: satifying thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

Olivia Styles @ #60658: Impossible because the third clue has a wrong word in it. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Pam Douglas @ #57936: nice (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #60659: Great grid! Some nice crossover and some confetti for me! (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #60653: Only slight criticism is Resister isnt a word (to my knowledge). Think its resistor. And explanation misses out Corporal punishment (presumably?) (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #60647: Good grid, slight suggestions for change would be Bell in the Foden etc group is a hugely different era to the rest. Still accurate of course but just a bit out there. Also would accept Vince alongside vincent. Good grid though, thanks! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Lynne @ #60645: Didn't get last link (2 years, 10 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60652: Thanks Tilly. Good one (2 years, 10 months ago)

Kessie @ #60638: Managed to sort the grid but confused by the misspelling of satellite - kept thinking it must be a hidden word or anagram! (2 years, 10 months ago)

barry womble @ #60629: Brilliant grid. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Stephan @ #60629: Fun and different. It requires a slightly different skill set than the typical grid, and I enjoyed it. Thanks. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jesus @ #48071: This quiz was so bad that I hope your existence on this site is past tense (2 years, 10 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #60599: It didn't accept 'synonym'. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Neil Davidson @ #60562: This was a really fun grid, thank you! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #60554: The difficult thing about getting this grid to work was the link terms. It is possible to get a 'correct' response despite not really understanding the distinctions between the groups. Thank you RMP. You are right. Amended. (2 years, 10 months ago)

David M @ #60598: I just did this! (2 years, 10 months ago)

David M @ #60599: Good grid with overlapping red herrings (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #60561: Nice one. 10/10 score for me (although VCM would have probably said, "I need something more specific" to me for the group containing "wind"). Fortunately for me, I didn't notice two of the three red herrings until after I had gotten the group (2 years, 10 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60611: Quick edit Bab to capitalise the initial letters? (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #60498: @Bindipper Ah, I see.

Wolliam @ #60536: Love the 'each' category! Nice :) (2 years, 10 months ago)

RMP @ #60549: Very nice! (2 years, 10 months ago)

fez @ #60532: I like it! Good number of red herrings. Unfortunately "Run" and "Walk" are interchangeable here (i.e. "Run" is also a mode of transportation and "Walk" can also be followed by "Way"). (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60517: Good grid. Nice red herring/false groups. Solved in 2mins.Not too tricky once I'd abandoned one fake line. Would have been more fun if one or two links were general knowledge based, rather than all being 'follow/precede with this word'. (2 years, 10 months ago)

BinDipper @ #59493: Not having heard of a party line Zerstort is something for which I feel quite envious. “In the old days” domestic phones would often share a line so when you picked the phone up you could drop in on a conversation between complete strangers. That was the norm and entirely acceptable. (2 years, 10 months ago)

GaryBlottingpaperface @ #60481: the sour group should accept "tastes". the fact it does not makes this a rubbish grid. 1/10. Utter garbage (2 years, 10 months ago)

Plod @ #60491: Actually just fixed it, sorry (2 years, 10 months ago)

Tilly @ #60490: Bacon and Idiot reasonable, Bank would not have got, but there is nothing wrong with that, but the anything line was a push too far though. a good concept but I consider it needs a food for thought as it could be anything. (2 years, 10 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60472: Largely agree with Igor. Number of stars reflects enjoyment rather than quality. My best ever grid technically left Page 1 with only 3 stars while some rubbish has departed with 4. So I wouldn't worry about that. The problem, I think, that people will have with this grid is the absence of an "in". Ones that work best imo are where you can see what the group's will be but you then have to rotate the possibilities to actually nail it. Here also the groups are so "difficult" even if there are red herrings they are going to go undetected. Actually judging its quality becomes difficult as a result :-) (2 years, 10 months ago)

dgms @ #60490: Impossible (2 years, 10 months ago)

Tilly @ #60491: 86 line passed me by, sin round v good, bell was an aaah moment, and was there a reason for two walls? Scorsese's mean maybe (2 years, 10 months ago)

dgms @ #60495: Thank you. I enjoyed all the groups and the variety of different styles of link. I loved the Hoarse line, but wished Hoarse had been in the other group it might have fitted into, because that would have been funny. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Igor @ #60472: OK, JumpyFox. Reasons why your grid may be given a low quality rating... (a) Puzzgrid has no rating for enjoyment and, I think, players give a low Quality rating to puzzles they did not enjoy. There's no way to say "I did not like it but I can see that it is of good quality". (b) Players don't like niche groups. (b1) If you miss that it's a Dutch grid then one group seems niche. Puzzgrid could put the country on the game page rather than just a small flag on the main page. (b2) I think that the Air group is niche - in a good way but others would disagree. (2 years, 10 months ago)

felix888 @ #60474: Just right for me! Thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #50881: Not a bad grid, managed to get all the groupings and connections, but I would expand some of the group terms you permit. For example, always use the word synonyms. You have two groups of synonyms so I typed it for both of them and it didnt give me either! I think you should accept songs for the power ballads too. I say this as I actually managed to work everything out but it only gave me 4/10! As for the guy Jesus above, his comment makes me think he was not smart enough for this grid! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #60468: Dams seem like a bit of a niche interest, unless you are going to just stick to famous ones like aswan. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #60469: Earthly is quite common, and it and chance can be used separately, but I'd question Scooby, both because it is very obscure - I've never heard of it - but also because it has a different meaning from the others. They are synonymous with no hope, whereas scooby is no idea. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Eebygum @ #60446: I really enjoyed this one too. A lovely grid. I don’t pay attention to the rankings of others - it tends to depend on how well they have performed!! Worth a try if you’re unsure. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Pingu @ #60465: Seen pedestrian crossings a fair few times and Greek mythology another chestnut. Nice effort otherwise. (2 years, 10 months ago)

A @ #60469: Also never heard of "haven't got an Earthly" - google references are very sparse (didn't even autocomplete it) so it definitely seems like a dated saying. Still valid though and a good grid either way. (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #60469: Aye absolutely, rest of the grid was good mate so appreciate that. Just my take on it though as I've enjoyed pretty much all your other grids. Appreciate Ace's comment too so maybe it's just me! (2 years, 10 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60469: It’s all fair. I wasn’t that thrilled with the pair of them because they could be seen as too close together but I couldn’t think of anything else and I liked the rest of the grid :-D (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #60465: Great grid - some really nice crossovers! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #60469: Haven't got an earthly is not that uncommon, was obvious to me, so I thought the group, and the others, was nicely thought out. Liked the Scooby do red herring. (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #60469: I googled 'havent got an earthly' as I've never heard of it and it said 'did you mean haven't got an earthly chance?' - maybe a Scotland thing but I've never heard of it and my Google search hadn't either. Like I say, might just be me. It does sounds though like the saying haven't got an earthy is abbreviated from earthly chance so might still be a little confusing. Happy to agree to disagree though (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #60470: Nice grid - maybe one to add for gaggle etc might be collective. Maybe just me but that seems to be the proper term for it. Thanks for making a good grid though bud (2 years, 10 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60469: I'm not sure what you mean SF7. If you got the Scooby one I assume you're UK based. I thought that might be a hurdle for some. Though they have the same meaning really, 'chance' and 'earthly' can be used separately. They both stand up to a Google search as sayings. (2 years, 10 months ago)

BigBoiAndy @ #60470: Thanks for the feedback, now updated! (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #60469: I found 7 of the points pretty easy which is fine... but the last group. Things you haven't got... Scooby fine, prayer, yeah okay... But then you seem to have split up answer to count as two? I haven't got an earthly doesn't make sense? Normally good grids from you in fairness, but not too keen on splitting one answer across two squares. (2 years, 10 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60470: Russell's! (2 years, 10 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60470: Hi Big 'Un. Nice grid, Sir. Suggest you open up the terms that get the player the points for guessing the links. One of them is difficult to give you without a spoiler but it's the gaggle group. The other is just the singular rather than plural solution for Russel's group. Cheers! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Devilishly hard, though. Thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jan Vikan @ #60461: Very bra (2 years, 10 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #60438: Good words, but poor link definitions. Always include 'synonym' for synonym links. Also alternative spellings for words like 'madam'. I don't know what to think about the link for the group including 'Tiger'. The obvious link works fine, and doesn't actually need the more obscure one. (2 years, 10 months ago)

V and access groups were OK, but sway and bob are pretty obscure - I have been using MS products since they began, but never heard of them. And key? If you have to watch some obscure channel like comedy central to be aware of them, then they are pretty niche, no? A good grid uses knowledge one has tucked away in dusty parts of the memory, but not items one cannot be expected to know. When a connection is revealed, I should be saying, "ah, I should have seen that", not, "how could anybody be expected to know that?" (2 years, 10 months ago)

Patsy @ #60376: If possible, maybe allow for both spellings of words (US/UK) (2 years, 10 months ago)

sophia @ #58757: bad connections and grammar. "there all games" should be they're all games. and also all structures? all songs? they're so vague and awful (2 years, 10 months ago)

David @ #282: What is St Helens glass? (2 years, 10 months ago)

Mr Ruth @ #60290: Pretty good grid if you ask me. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dan @ #60403: Great job - lots of fun! (2 years, 10 months ago)

haywood @ #60414: great grid (2 years, 10 months ago)

Mr Ruth @ #60086: It was unacceptable that my answers were unaccepted. I refuse to give myself mental points. I'm taking it to the top. The answer to the money question was too specific. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Rocinante @ #60366: Enjoyed this, thanks. Didn’t find it easy at all! My excuse is the number of good red herrings/crossovers:) (2 years, 10 months ago)

dgms @ #60352: I found it very tricky, because of all the red herrings, and the different types of clue for the groups, but solved it, after restarting, and thought it was very satisfying. Thank you. Namis was a really horrible clue - no thanks for that one! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #60345: It is an anagram of Saturn, but it's not an anagram of Neptune. (2 years, 10 months ago)

RMP @ #60377: Lots of nice red herrings. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Wordsworth @ #60330: @BinDipper exactly the point I was trying to make, but you put it much more eloquently. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Pontius Pilate @ #53139: 2000 years and finally someone has realised I was right all along. (2 years, 10 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60330: Just to say, on YouGov, Scrubs is ranked 299th in terms of popularity of TV shows in the UK (all-time), some way below Fawlty Towers and Doctor Who but ahead of Sex in the City, Ground Force, A Question of Sport and Coronation Street. One person's niche is another person's non-nichey thing. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Wordsworth @ #60330: @Hamburger agree to disagree, I suppose (2 years, 10 months ago)

hes a very naughty boy @ #53139: @jesus you seem to bring little to this community but negativity, maybe more therapy and less puzzgrid is the answer? (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #60330: I agree with Fred. I like the grid except for that line. @Wordsworth - Niche is not the name of the game, for me anyhow. General knowledge is the key. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Avenger @ #11163: Nah Which US President was called Z? Not a good grid (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jonny @ #60356: There’s a typo in ‘committee’, so the ‘split into two words’ doesn’t work. Apart from that, quite a challenging grid, but enjoyable. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Wordsworth @ #60193: Lovely grid which really played to my strengths, cheers (2 years, 10 months ago)

Wordsworth @ #60330: Very nice grid – appreciate generous point for the Ayr group even if VCM might not have allowed it! @Fred, I can't imagine you've watched much OC... niche is the name of the game, my friend (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #60365: Hard but really good, cheers. (2 years, 10 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #60358: Meant to put poetry in but got distracted - its now in (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #60066: @York - Yeah that 53280,1 is one for old school nerds. POKE53280,1 was one of the first lines of code a BASIC programmer learned. It was a simple command to change the screen colour. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jane @ #60355: Interesting grid, but I don’t agree with the “cocktails” answer. Cassis and Armagnac are not cocktails. (2 years, 10 months ago)

RMP @ #60363: Very harsh scoring on the Quarterback row. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Cazzy @ #60361: Wow! So many red herrings. Got 7/10. Fantastic grid! (2 years, 10 months ago)

felix888 @ #60358: Enjoyed the grid. Thanks. Failed on the teams! Surprised that forms of poetry was not allowed. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fred @ #60330: Cox group was too niche (2 years, 10 months ago)

Quizzer @ #60191: Charming. Thanks for the confetti (2 years, 10 months ago)

Quizzer @ #60337: Fun grid with some lovely red herrings. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Quizzer @ #60354: Fun grid, cheers. Suggest capitalising all the words - currently it's quite easy to spot one group (2 years, 10 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #60350: Kitten group too ambiguous (2 years, 10 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #60338: one group too obscure (2 years, 10 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #60337: Good crossovers and topics not obscure - well done (2 years, 10 months ago)

Bathfood @ #38326: Flawless. Perfectly judged. Thank you. (2 years, 10 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #60336: Fairly easy confetti but different (2 years, 10 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #60351: Sale and Sharks are the same thing, acid will burn not sting, (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60346: Great grid, clear groups, nice red herrings, but no answers that could be swapped. I nearly ran out of time. The T-shirt clue took me ages, as I've not heard of t-shirt in that context. (2 years, 10 months ago)

felix888 @ #60321: enjoyed, thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

felix888 @ #60328: enjoyed it. Almost got there! Thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

Miri and Sam @ #60320: Great grid! Love the Taskmaster reference and good red herrings too (2 years, 10 months ago)

Annelies @ #60344: Challenging one. Man on Fire is a clever red herring and the concept of the group it belongs in is innovative. Kicking myself for not seeing it. (2 years, 10 months ago)

barry womble @ #60346: Nice one. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Miri and Sam @ #60174: Echidnas are real! Stop this madness (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #60336: Nice! A good grid, some decent crossover, a little on the easy side but there's nothing wrong with that. Good job! (2 years, 10 months ago)

JP @ #60336: Why do most grids that have numbers include adele albums? (2 years, 10 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60336: Enjoyable. Fair to say it's more a general knowledge quiz than a connecting wall (2 years, 10 months ago)

edpo @ #60337: Excellent grid! Loved the multiple layers of misdirection (2 years, 10 months ago)

David M @ #60339: Loved it but fell for a red herring for far too long (2 years, 10 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60330: I'm not sure that's a good advert for the ratings system SF7 :-)) (2 years, 10 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60328: Thank you Flora - a challenging one! Never sure about the connections that mix beginnings and endings. I think they should be one or the other but maybe that's just SF7 and me :-) (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #60330: Full marks in 30 seconds AND a reference to Scrubs which is my favourite show of all time so this gets full marks from me!! (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #60328: Not a fan of having a group where the answer is a word at the start or the end of a word... it should be one or the other. Also wainscot seems incredibly obscure, but that might just be for me. Bonn should be Bon. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jane @ #60328: Good fun, thanks. But I think “Bonn” should be “Bon”? (2 years, 10 months ago)

edpo @ #60308: Nice grid, I'm hungry now! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Greg Hurst @ #60307: Fun! Thx (2 years, 10 months ago)

Greeny @ #60086: Dreadful (2 years, 10 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60292: Your first go? It’s great! Well played. If you’re actively looking for a flaw, and I posted one like this a couple of days ago #60210, there seems to be a group with no red herring. If you spot that one, it creates the 2nd group with no herring and then that makes a third herringless group. So they fall like dominoes. But honestly, top notch start to your new career. :-) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Neil Davidson @ #60300: Little Mix red herring was glorious! (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #60250: As the other commenters have said. Adding simply "alphabet" as a correct response for that group would have helped (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #60271: Devilishly hard. My only quibble is that you should capitalize the first word of all the entries (as the style guide states, and is traditional with Only Connect) (2 years, 10 months ago)

York @ #60268: Excellent grid. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Stephan @ #60295: nice one (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #60292: Some nice red herrings there, well done 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 10 months ago)

Felix888 @ #19317: Good one. Thanks. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Aetees @ #60291: Tricky. And Excellent. (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #60277: Nice mix of red herrings. I got it rapidly, but still, a nice grid. Look forward to seeing more from you. (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #60278: *may be more a me thing.... (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #60278: Liked the Che red herring for SNL players. I put him in every single time! So, while I got the -SS connection in the end, missed it during the round as well as missing the SNL group. Not too fond of the arm one, because it can precede or follow, but that may a me thing than a you thing. Well done. (2 years, 10 months ago)

IanB @ #60288: It's protractor, not er (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #60227: The lack of overlaps made this too easy. For example, club spade heart diamond? What other possible things could fit in this category? So even if you intended diamond as a red herring, this group was easy to pull out. Your other recent board was trickier. (2 years, 10 months ago)

eric @ #60258: So athletes is wrong for Clue 1 is it?????????? i suspect if you told Usain Bolt he was no athlete he may beg to differ. As it is i beg to differ with the duffer who set this grid - yes they are all 100m Olympic Gold winners they are also all athletes, left handed and all dress to the left...... (2 years, 10 months ago)

GTF @ #60268: Good point. Graham changed. Hopefully that fixes both issues (2 years, 10 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60277: Fun grid. Thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #60285: Me too (2 years, 10 months ago)

Plod @ #60285: Well I liked it (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #60268: 2 issues for me. I think it's Graeme Garden, not Graham. Sounds pedantic maybe but it makes it very hard to solve (unless there IS a Graham Garden in which case I apologise). But secondly Graham and Savage are interchangeable and, despite the other commentator it does ruin it. They were my final two groups and there is no way to distinguish between Fred Graham, Fred Savage, Graham/Graeme Garden and Savage Garden. Both groups have five possible answers and both would work so I think that does ruin it a bit. Happy to be proven wrong of course!! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Laura @ #60286: This was infuriatingly hard. Well done. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Wordsworth @ #60284: Enjoyable, thank you! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Wordsworth @ #60268: Very fun! Thank you. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Wordsworth @ #60281: Lovely one, thank you – lost the confetti for the same reason as SF7 (2 years, 10 months ago)

Wordsworth @ #60228: Nice one. Thank you. (2 years, 10 months ago)

eric @ #60269: once again marked wrong for correct answers, Ecclesiastical positions is correct for clue one, politicians is correct for clue four. (2 years, 10 months ago)

GusTheFox @ #60268: That doesn’t spoil it. That is a perfect example of a red herring (2 years, 10 months ago)

eric @ #60276: how, on planet Earth, can planets be marked incorrect for clue 3????? just because it wasnt the one Kopology was thinking of doesnt make it wrong.......... (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #60276: This doesn't work as there are 2 planets that can also go in the god grouping. I was left with the 8 planets at the end and trying to pick the 4 gods out of 6 possible answers is literally just guess work. It's tough when designing these because crossover is key to a good grid but just need to make sure that there is only one solution (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #60281: Decent grid - have never seen scott pilgrim so that cost me! Good work :) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Geraint Jones @ #60273: Enjoyed that. Man United fan (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60268: Really great grid. Brilliant ideas, great links and fun redherrings, but Graham and one other answer from that group could be swapped with Savage from another group, which spoils it a little. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60276: The grid doesn't work Two groups were really good, but the gods and planets groups had seven completely interchangeable answers, meaning multiple, equally valid valid solutions to the wall exist, and the whole grid doesn't work It's a shame - if you'd divided them into the groups Neptune, Uranus, Mercury,Earth , and Jupiter,Mars,Venus,Saturn, you could have had a 'planets with chemical elements named after them' group, and a 'planets/gods' group, which would have worked and been interesting. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dave @ #60261: Cheers for the Morgan heads up- duly edited 👍 (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #60269: Nice and easy straightforward grid 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 10 months ago)

Wordsworth @ #60274: Fun one, thanks! (2 years, 10 months ago)

J @ #60242: The spellings of "sidewinner," "jamican," and "cottenmouth" need to be corrected (to sidewinDer, jamAican and cottOnmouth). (2 years, 10 months ago)

Kessie @ #60251: Disappointed that "Autumn" didn't work as a clue for Fall (for those of us outside America) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Kessie @ #60250: Disappointed that "phonetic alphabet" wasn't a correct answer. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60167: Good grid thanks. Expanding my trivia knowledge! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Wordsworth @ #60271: Fun grid, thank you! My Antipodean status was a boon, for once (2 years, 10 months ago)

Quizzer @ #60276: Fun grid, though there are seven words which could belong to two of the rows, meaning one has to rely on guesswork more than one would like! (2 years, 10 months ago)

felix888 @ #60247: enjoyed this, Thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

felix888 @ #60274: 10, phew. Enjoyed this one, thanks. (2 years, 10 months ago)

edpo @ #60274: Nice grid, not too challenging (2 years, 10 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60201: Thank you Freddgar and Enzed for your lovely comments :-) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Corvus @ #60260: The 'Wally the Walrus' group is basically just 'four places close to the British Isles. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Corvus @ #60261: Eoin Morgan not Eion Morgan. Left me guessing what is was a typo for and settled on it being Elon Musk. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jim @ #60251: this puzzle changed the course of my life forever, i love you SAD-A!! (2 years, 10 months ago)

David @ #59535: I like the theme, I think "good days", and the loan words ("champagne, oregano, and pizza") are a bit of a stretch for their categories, though. (2 years, 10 months ago)

David @ #60248: Some of the categories are not consistent, e.g. flour is different than flower, and day can go either before or after the words in that category (rather than all after). (2 years, 10 months ago)

David @ #165: Matt Monro (2 years, 10 months ago)

Cristobal @ #60242: Sidewinder, not Sidewinner. Cottonmouth, not Cottenmouth. I'm not being pedantic - sometimes the spellings (or "mis-spellings) are part of the link. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Cristobal @ #60232: It's Gordons, not Gordans. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Gangster Gnu-o @ #60239: As a la italian myself, I feel honoured to be represented by this grid. What a swegalicoius poggers gaming moment (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #60245: Nice and easy straightforward grid... Except for the Paradise line, convinced it was hotels Hi ho live and learn 😁 Well done, you win 10/7 Thanks for posting (2 years, 10 months ago)

chris @ #60183: Nice and easy. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Bigjugzloz @ #60183: Very well made, red herrings galore. Very sexy pizzgrid maker, met him at a local puzzgrid meet-up. (2 years, 10 months ago)

puzzlegang @ #60236: Really enjoyed the grid, thanks, but putting the answers in although I knew what the connections were didn't really work. Perhaps give more options for describing the groups? (2 years, 10 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60214: Hi York. It’s not that Chess is in two groups, it’s that, for example, Monopoly pieces are a thing. They are referred to as pieces or sometimes as tokens. So ‘chess’ and ‘monopoly’ can swap places. This means there are two correct answers (a non-unique grid). It’s so easy to do it when you’re making these things. I’m worried about my newest entry because it looks that there might be more than one solution even though I can’t find it. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Israel @ #60198: Please make “Fruit” a valid answer (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #60222: Really liked this one! Full marks always makes me like them more! (2 years, 10 months ago)

York @ #60212: Nice one. A pedant writes: Doritos aren't made of potatoes and aren't crisps :) I like the Doctor Who one, the Jo Martin was sneaky! Why shouldn't we metnion Bruno BTW, I don't get that one (2 years, 10 months ago)

York @ #60223: Maybe synonyms rather than just synonym should be an accepted answer :) (2 years, 10 months ago)

York @ #60214: I genuinely don't get the issue with Chess being in two groups. Isn't that the whole point of red herrings/crossovers? What am I missing? :) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #60223: Very good grid, particularly liked the Tweet row. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 10 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60172: I think that was put to Ginger, Roc, but she declined. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Rocinante @ #60193: Enjoyed that and thanks for the detailed explanations, which in the case of the Mother group I certainly needed! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Rocinante @ #60172: Entertaining as always, BD, thanks. Once I’d decided that Knob couldn’t possibly be a Fred Astaire film I was well set...😎 (2 years, 10 months ago)

Mickle @ #60221: Wrong on many levels - Tybalt as well as Macbeth kills and is killed. Macbeth is also a king - and lear etc also die (2 years, 10 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60221: My Shakespeare is a very rusty thing Sharpie but I think you may have a non-unique solution there with Hamlet and Macbeth. I thought they both killed and both jossed it at the end. (2 years, 10 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60210: Long history of them in the UK Tilly but now mainly in the US. Still used in England for defamation cases apparently. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Tilly @ #60210: Solved the wall, - jury new to me [US?] as was the lithic ty (2 years, 10 months ago)

puzzlegang @ #60214: Yep BD, crossovers make grids more difficult and interesting right? But I do get your point. Thanks. (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #60219: TIL that Europa is not just the name of a moon, but also an asteroid. (2 years, 10 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60193: Nice one Ed. Solved the grid but if I’d stared at the Mother group until next Tuesday I wouldn’t have nailed it. (2 years, 10 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60172: Neither had I Pam but apparently it was one of the original 6 pieces, retired in 1946 after 11 years service - Monopoly’s first ever retiree. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Trillium @ #60210: Excellent! (2 years, 10 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60214: Hi PG. Nah, I think the groups are fine. It’s just that linking word used in the Chess group - it could probably be added to nearly every board game there is and still make sense, even though where you have it is definitely the most common usage. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Pam Douglas @ #60172: I knew the Fred Astaire films, I don't think that's obscure, but never heard of a cannon as a Monopoly token, just got lucky. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Pam Douglas @ #60169: nice crossovers (2 years, 10 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60210: Thank you. I don’t like it but I spent ages getting it to where it is and I couldn’t think how to improve it. So decided to whack it on and see if anyone could make it better. I like the groups but technically it’s rubbish :-)) (2 years, 10 months ago)

puzzlegang @ #60214: Thanks BD for comment. Still learning. I'm enjoying trying different things. Board games is a bit of a dull subject though, I agree. (2 years, 10 months ago)

KG1 @ #60093: Brown and Callaghan are interchangeable, so not a unique solution. A pity because a good grid otherwise. (2 years, 10 months ago)

puzzlegang @ #60202: Some good crossovers. Enjoyed it, thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60214: I think you may have a non-unique grid there PG, with chess interchangeable with all those in the Risk group. Maybe the linking word in the chess group is too common? (2 years, 10 months ago)

jk @ #60210: nice one - totally stumped me! I saw one group far too late, but saw most of the connections once it resolved. loved it! (2 years, 10 months ago)

WrinklyDink @ #55895: I'm with Jesus! Vacation destinations...seriously? (2 years, 10 months ago)

York @ #60205: As a programmer I liked this a lot. I think you could argue that Perl, Ruby, Python and Java belong in a groups as interpreted languages and even C#, Java, Python and VB.Net similarly (although I accept C# is a not open and shut on this). You could also argue Perl is high level too. Anyway, top grid, many thanks. :-) (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #60198: You should be consistent with your capitalization (2 years, 10 months ago)

York @ #60203: I think countries that changed name is also a fair answer (2 years, 10 months ago)

QwiziRascal @ #60202: Great grid. Thank you :) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Gizmodo @ #60135: Disagree with the comments that say State should be accepted. The whole point is that California and Florida aren’t a link, and the others are connected by Texas.. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hypatia @ #60135: Too harsh re state (2 years, 10 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60204: Thanks Rogue. It beat me. Suggestion: in the caper group you have 3 nouns but one adjective and as a result it doesn’t quite sit properly. Maybe swap out the adjective? (2 years, 10 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60172: You do know that categorisations change depending upon how others have found it, don’t you Dutch? The setter makes a guess; the solvers determine where it goes from there. Perhaps if you posted one or two of your own this would become clear? (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jane @ #60172: DutchAndWorried, Fred Astaire films really aren’t “obscure” or “weird”. I thought it was a pretty straightforward connection. Just because you don’t know about something doesn’t mean the grid is bad; if you’re going to have a hissy fit every time you don’t get an answer, maybe this game isn’t for you? (2 years, 10 months ago)

Julia De’Marciletto @ #60176: This grid was an enjoyable grid (2 years, 10 months ago)

Julia De’Marciletto @ #60119: 8/10 would grid again (2 years, 10 months ago)

Julia De’Marciletto @ #60086: All in all, a splendid grid (2 years, 10 months ago)

Julia De’Marciletto @ #60183: Pretty basic grid tbh (2 years, 10 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #60172: Please let me assure you that I am neither intellectually vacuous, nor do I appreciate others being told not to pay attention to me. You categorised that grid as "medium". It might have been medium for you, but not everyone has the ability to spot weird stuff like that. I shall avoid your grids like the plague in future, if only to avoid being treated like a thicko. Categorise your grids better next time. (2 years, 10 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #60164: Now, this is what a medium grid is *supposed* to look like! :) 10/10, 5* (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jane @ #60172: Great grid, and I got the Fred Astaire connections no problem; it wasn’t obscure at all. I think some people just can’t stand it when they get a subject they don’t know much about (like me with any grids including Pokémon characters😁). (2 years, 10 months ago)

alexred @ #60093: Very nice grid! 10/10 (2 years, 10 months ago)

buzcut121 @ #60144: Good catch Crocodilly. Corrected. Thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60172: Yes you’re right. Saying Fred Astaire was in those productions is not enough. I humbly apologise. The real mystery though is why the frick anyone puts the effort in to make these things given the state of some of the comments. (2 years, 10 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60172: But to keep you sweet, if that is remotely possible… In The Towering Inferno Fred played a con-man. In Daddy Long Legs he played an American millionaire holidaying in France. In Carefree, he’s a psychiatrist and in Blue Skies he, rather weirdly, plays a dancing sensation. I hope that your life is now back on an even keel, Dutch. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Snackula @ #60086: good fun, not too hard (2 years, 10 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #60172: [[SPOILER ALERT!!!]] Fred Astaire MIGHT have done his bit in those things, but that's just about as vague as it could possibly be. What was his bit? What happened? Where did you dig up such an obscure connection from? Why am I asking silly questions??? Medium??? :D (2 years, 10 months ago)

Loin El Richie @ #60166: Slow up there! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60128: Hector was Trojan, not Greek. It's like saying Cleopatra was Roman. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60111: Very good. Only solved half of it and only got three links. Broad group was too tricky for me. (2 years, 10 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60142: Hindley and Brady lived in Wardle Brooke Avenue, Hyde and definitely murdered Edward Evans there. Having got Hindley’s grandmother out of the way for the night, it’s also highly likely that it was where Lesley Ann Downey was killed. (2 years, 10 months ago)

puzzlegang @ #60132: Thanks, fun grid. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Neil Davidson @ #60130: Brilliant red herrings! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Crocodilly @ #60144: Hogwash and Balderdash are interchangeable. They are synonyms of each other and end in Ash. This grid doesn't work. (2 years, 10 months ago)

puzzlegang @ #60162: Enjoyable grid. Thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

puzzlegang @ #60105: fun grid, thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

York @ #60142: If you're counting Brady and Hindley then you're wrong. They were neither from there, nor carried out the murders there. You really can't pin that on Hyde. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Greg Hurst @ #60158: Fun! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Est289 @ #60158: Great grid! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Est289 @ #60132: I loved this grid. Thanks for submitting it! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Est289 @ #60135: Great grid! York - FloRida is pronounced Flow Rider so that's why there is a capital R in the middle of Florida. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Adam Langstaff @ #60086: You need to edit the answers for "penny" WHAT AN EARTH IS A LANE FARTHING (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #60135: Not bad at all, except the answers, where hotel, dog, rapper were not accepted - if you use the singular in your answer terms instead of the plural they will both be accepted. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #60137: Good grid, only slightly spoiled by four clues being capitalised, making an obvious group without even seeing the connection. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60135: Good grid. Thanks :-) (2 years, 10 months ago)

James @ #60119: Quite easy but very fun! Thanks :) (2 years, 10 months ago)

dgms @ #60076: Thank you! That was fun, and weirdly easier than it looked at first. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #60031: Not to me B - it was my first group. The hard one was David Cross. If you don't happen to have watched that program (like me) then you'probably never heard of him. Overall an excellent grid! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #60106: The best wall I have seen for months. Superb. Difficult, yes - I only got four - but fair nevertheless. I could, and should, have got them all. And very little time was wasted on pointless red herrings. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Aetees @ #60091: The pokemon group are also all trees. That is an acceptable answer. This is a terrible grid (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #60093: Nice one. Could do with adding a few more terms into your answers. Common abbreviations like PM, add occupation as well as just job, etc. (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #60000: Pretty easy grid.. well very easy actually got full marks within 30 seconds. But totally agree that most of your football teams are not actually football teams - they are suffixes for teams. Sounds pedantic but grids are meant to be pedantic as you are looking for exact answers. When you say united for examples that could be Manchester, West Ham, Leeds or Newcastle United off the top of my head (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60071: Good fun. Just solved it. It would have been impossible if the obscurest answers hadn't been in a group with two that really gave it away. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60061: Evil trick, hiding 'wine' in plain sight, so to speak. I didn't think there could be a word hidden in it, so I didn't even look at the other words in the group in that way - it would have been so obvious if I'd just looked. (2 years, 10 months ago)

misof @ #60060: As a European, I spent a lot of time clicking trying to at least get the right prime ministers group (unsuccessfully, needed about 30 more seconds) as that one was where I correctly felt to be closest. The geography was doable after the groups are revealed, but I was missing too many to have a chance to find the whole group. I had no chance with the universities - Waterloo and UCalgary are the only two I can name. Still a well-written wall but extremely hard for people from around here :) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Greg Gibson @ #59957: There's plenty of other things that are red without using a racist and offensive term on a grid, which it is - there's no debate - however this may have been inadvertent - perhaps you could update this? It's not really in the spirit of the game (2 years, 10 months ago)

turnip @ #60025: For out/birth/up/forth, I gave the connection "can be preceded by 'give'", which I think is also legit. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Est289 @ #60025: Great grid! (2 years, 10 months ago)

York @ #60004: @Ace, no leg bye is correct. @Setter. Grrrr, good one with the wicket keepers, I was sure I'd tried that combination. Could see immediately that must be one of the connections. Didn't like the removing T one though ;) (2 years, 10 months ago)

York @ #60005: Yes, I found the same as Ross. I put Town and it says wrong. Good grid, solved with five seconds to spare. (2 years, 10 months ago)

starfairy @ #60009: Got it with 1 second on the clock (Livin' on Tulsa Time. Doh!) So good. Ty (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #59963: Here in Europe (i.e. not necessarily the UK) kilo is well understood to be a unit of weight, and in everyday terms as nothing else. Yes, it's short for kilogram, but the latter term is rarely used in normal language. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #59963: @SF7 lol, you're right. Here in Australia we kind of say a kilo of this or that meaning a kilogram, but kilo on it's own could be a measure of many things. (2 years, 10 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #60016: Very nice, saw two groups immediately, the other two were stumpers. Well Done! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Kay @ #59980: Wow, I live in Boston and didn't know Pride or Crab! (2 years, 10 months ago)

RMP @ #59980: Great fun with red herrings all over the place. The eye thingy is an American usage which I have never heard in UK, but I am lucky enough to have lived in both places too so I know some of both dialects. (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #58174: Why don't you accept frontmen as an answer? The 1980s part is so wrong is laughable. Hendrix died in 1970 for a start, Kurt Cobain had very little fame until 1991 and Dave Grohl was literally a drummer in that same band and didn't become a front man until even later?! Very bizarre. And why have you used Sting's and Hulk Hogan's ring name but Dwayne Johnson's real name? Dwayne Johnson was not a famous wrestler but The Rock was. If you want to use real name that's cool but you need to be consistent with it. (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #59963: Lol a kilo isnt a weight its a prefix for kilogram. Like the same as kilometre or kilhertz which youve literally used in the grid (2 years, 10 months ago)

misof @ #59927: Well done, the spread between the years was sufficient to assign the unknown ones by a bit of trial and error. I got 7/10, didn't get 1927. A nice enjoyable grid. (2 years, 10 months ago)

misof @ #59946: The units group should also accept "distance" and "length". There is an ambiguity: both CA and GA can be in both groups (California/Calcium and Georgia/Gallium) so the groups aren't unique. (2 years, 10 months ago)

misof @ #59957: @Hamburger, don't be a jerk. I'm not offended, and it's not about me. I'm just saying that this is a term that should be avoided out of respect. Look up, for example, the Washington Redskins name controversy. OED lists "Red Indian" as offensive and dated. This is a fun puzzle site and nobody here *wants* to be offensive (at least I hope so). When someone uses a racial slur, it's worth pointing it out with the presumption that the author was unaware of it. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #59960: Best grid ever (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #59957: Hold up everybody, somebody was offended. (2 years, 10 months ago)

misof @ #59957: Way too many unclear overlaps. White flag (surrender) vs. red flag (warning sign) vs. black flag (forbidden). White wine vs. red wine. White wedding (traditional) vs. Red wedding (Game of Thrones). Red sea vs. Black sea vs. blue sea. "Red indian" is offensive. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #59881: @eric - We don't need to ask ourselves is it bitter or is sweet? Is it a basket or is it a ball? Is it a cow or is it a boy? Is it audio or is it visual? Is it a barn or is it a yard? The combination of the two contradictory meanings collaborate to form a separate meaning. An oxymoron is a consecutive set of words that have contradictory meanings. In many cases they are obvious. However, as there are so many, you might not catch them all. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #59881: @eric - When we think of oxymorons, we often think of two-word phrases with seemingly opposite components, like "alone together" or "sweet sorrow." But in some instances, a single word is all it takes. Let’s get this one out of the way. When we learn about oxymorons, bittersweet is often one of the first words given as an example. The word combines two of the five taste sensations, the others being salty, sour, and savory (umami). Whether bitter is really the opposite of sweet on the taste spectrum is arguable, but they are often contrasted since bitter is associated with medicines or some vegetables (like radishes) while sweet is associated with, well, sweets (candy and desserts).

DoubleHappy @ #59867: What a great grid. The answer for the tree group is not being accepted though (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jesus @ #58998: Everything about this quiz was horrible, just like your parents job raising you (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jesus @ #59163: They are called Tenses. The president one is f*cking horrible. Who raised you? (2 years, 10 months ago)

halfrabbit @ #59835: Clone -> Close seems like a stretch (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jesus @ #59359: You are bad and you should feel bad. Tell your parents I am disappointed in the way they raised you (2 years, 10 months ago)

haywood @ #59648: Nice... but grid of the week? ok, I suppose. Clever to set up the chess pieces and in the end there's no chess group. I guess that was the foundation stone? (2 years, 10 months ago)

SimonL @ #59857: Mr K: no, the book is called The Restaraunt at the End of the Universe (2 years, 10 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59857: Sorry -didn't enjoy it (2 years, 10 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #59832: Great grid, this one. One group got me a little flustered, but I won the day :) 10/10, quality board! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dogrot @ #59837: @York - I’ve just double checked and it is, so I can only assume you must’ve done an accidental misspelling? (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #59817: I specified doctor and band, which I think you're right to insist on. I can almost hear Victoria saying "I need to hear something else". (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #59832: Suckered me into a cowboy red herring. Well done. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Tilly @ #59817: Hi guys, I omitted accepting the obvious as I wanted a fuller answer as would be required by VCM on OC. Sorry if that annoyed (2 years, 10 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #59768: Didn't get the shoegaze bit either. Also, I couldn't see any crossovers. Thank you though! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #59834: Great grid. Got the last group with just one second to spare, (2 years, 10 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #59797: Nice 10/10! Thanks for the grid (2 years, 10 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #59817: Same experience as DoubleHappy, finished the grid with all four groups in place, but despite using the correct words, the spin group registered as incorrect. I don't know what terms the poster used for keywords, but the primary (and most obvious one) isn't working for that group. (2 years, 10 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #59726: I have no idea how the hell to finish this one. One thing is definitely for certain: it's poo, but spelled in a different manner, with an s at the start and a hit at the end... (2 years, 10 months ago)

Est289 @ #59835: Very clever! Thanks for posting! (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #59830: What nonsense is this? Out of your 'countries with dragons on their flags' only one is actually recognised as a country (Bhutan). The rest, while they have levels of devolution, are all governed by/part of another country. And then after all that - you have Israel in the fictional countries section. It's one thing having an opinion on that conflict but to site the UN for one of your groups and then use your own beliefs for another is just nonsense. Waste of time. (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #59797: It's good but a little on the easy side. 10/10 within 30 seconds (2 years, 10 months ago)

Gordash @ #59830: keep the politics out of it mate. (2 years, 10 months ago)

chanale @ #59758: I tried to design it so that it was easy if you have read and are familiar with the Sherlock Holmes canon, hard if you've read it but aren't totally familiar, and... yeah, not super doable if you haven't read it at all. It was a midnight experiment and I totally get if it didn't go over well. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jamie @ #59809: Lots of fun this one! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jamie @ #59829: This one was tricky! I would suggest fixing the typo in Delaware, thought for a moment it was a hint at misspelled states (2 years, 10 months ago)

anisa @ #59797: 10/10! fantastic grid :) (2 years, 10 months ago)

UStralian @ #59828: Great grid, extremely difficult. Was nowhere near the BB group. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Matt @ #41311: Absolutely brilliant. Thanks. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Mumlol @ #59819: Lots of great red herrings. Well done (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dogrot @ #59821: @Anvil - Thanks for the feedback. I had thought Pocket and Wrist might also be red herrings, but they evidently didn’t fox you! :-) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Mumlol @ #59820: Very well thought out grid (2 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #59821: Very straightforward. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Anvil @ #59821: very easy - only one red hering which was palm (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dogrot @ #49709: Was a bit baffled when I started this one, but got there eventually - 10/10. Loved the way this was cleverly themed! (2 years, 10 months ago)

DoubleHappy @ #59817: One of the answers doesn't register as correct when entered - the Spin group (2 years, 10 months ago)

Plod @ #59816: well I liked it (2 years, 10 months ago)

George @ #59767: brill! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Rowan Williams @ #59726: 4/10. How did you do? (2 years, 10 months ago)

Tilly @ #59800: D.Ceeving - actually - no they are not. The tee is the prepared surface used at the start of the hole, the peg [which can only be used on the tee] is often called a tee peg or peg. FORE! (2 years, 10 months ago)

misof @ #58241: This is exactly how to do an easy grid that is still fun to solve. Well done! (2 years, 10 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59805: Way too niche (2 years, 10 months ago)

Vef @ #59811: Bacardi is not a gim (2 years, 10 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59800: A peg and a tee are the same thing (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dirtyapples @ #58777: I mean, they are technically fast food restaurants. I didn't want to penalize someone for using restaurant, since it would seem like they know the connection well enough. (2 years, 10 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #59797: Woohoo! 10 out of 10, and confetti! Muy bueno :) Loved this grid very much. (2 years, 10 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59791: Now edited to correct my spelling (2 years, 10 months ago)

Šumperský retard @ #59725: Vynikajúci grid, veľmi sme sa zabavili. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Julie Anne Tang-Evans @ #59753: I have an issue with one of the groups (red). A bishop isn't 'royal or noble. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Tilly @ #59800: ditto Gordash (2 years, 10 months ago)

Tilly @ #59800: Thank you Stephan, I changed my mind and forgot to rectify (2 years, 10 months ago)

Gordash @ #59800: Very tough for anyone not from the UK. The issue is not with the grid, but the text of the solution. Large is still a valid set member, but Laurel and Hardy were given instead of Little and Large. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Plod @ #59796: Enjoyed this, TY! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Gordash @ #59747: Nice work. The Kensington set could do with some more acceptable answers. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Stephan @ #59800: Nice grid, but there is a major error in the comedy duos clues. The word Large is given as a clue instead of either Laurel or Hardy. Please edit that. (2 years, 10 months ago)

VCM @ #59800: Nice one (2 years, 10 months ago)

York @ #59748: Synonyms should be a valid answer for the hold group (2 years, 10 months ago)

Tommy 212 @ #59799: What animal is a Goa? (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #59778: Google "aunt pronunciation" to learn more. Like I said I don't think it's a problem in the grid, and would expect most people to at least be aware that there are two distinct versions of how it's pronounced. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #59797: Yay! My first confetti of the day! Great grid! Thank you. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Kay @ #59425: Very nice! (2 years, 11 months ago)

York @ #59758: Too many connections of the same speciality. No good if someone's not a fan boi. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #59790: Entered religious buildings for one of the groups and was marked incorrect. That's irritating. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ricky @ #59790: You should probably make 'captain' an acceptable link if you're up for it - but it was otherwise good fun! Never heard of a wat before, so cheers for providing that additional information, and I'm feeling pretty pleased that I was able to work it out by deduction. (2 years, 11 months ago)

SF7 @ #59778: I have literally never heard Aunt pronounced as arent, never mind it being the dominant pronunciation. Aunt and Ant are pronounced the same and it has be said that if you are pronouncing it otherwise then that is a localised accent rather than pronouncitation. Feel free to check the dictionary and its phonetic spelling. Appreciate the feedback but definitely don't agree with this particular bit! (2 years, 11 months ago)

QwiziRascal @ #59791: Worked out what you meant but Romanian is spelt wrong which matters quite a lot for the solution! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace @ #59778: "aunt and ant are pronounced the same in most parts of the English speaking world" Not really. When using terms like "most" you need to remember to include countries like India, with approx 125million English speakers, as well as those with English as an official or majority language, most of which (the countries) would favour the normal British English pronunciation. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Michael @ #59397: Perfect 10/10 great grid lots of misleading (2 years, 11 months ago)

Von @ #59790: put in Captain for first and it marked as wrong (2 years, 11 months ago)

York @ #59776: Smallest birds in what category? Surely not the world as that is the bee hummingbird. Similarly for largest? This was too bird orientated, especially for someone who doesn't know birds, better to have a mix of topics IMHO. (2 years, 11 months ago)

I hate Ace @ #59250: Well done. Lovely! (2 years, 11 months ago)

eric @ #59790: Marked incorrect because i described the second link as religious buildings!!!!!!! which is entirely correct - unlike the answer which states that a Wat is a Hindu temple - its BUDDHIST FFS - get your facts right! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Mr wibble @ #59790: What a corker nice work (2 years, 11 months ago)

York @ #59778: Can't see why anyone is having problems with the homophones, aunt and ant are pronounced the same in most parts of the English speaking world. Surely even if you speak with a southern English affectation you recognise most people say ant for aunt? Decent enough grid. (2 years, 11 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59758: Too niche -I do possess the complete adventures of Sherlock but haven't red it. It needs to be studied before attempting this grid. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace @ #59778: In much of the English-speaking world Aunt is pronounced more like Aren't that Ant. I think that's what's being alluded to, but honestly I don't see it as a problem. (2 years, 11 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59778: Not bad - but agree that homophone group is very iffy (2 years, 11 months ago)

SF7 @ #59778: Thanks all. What do you mean that aunt didn't work for you? Happy to edit if necessary. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace @ #59768: Never heard the term 'shoegaze' before. Every day's a schoolday. (2 years, 11 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #59778: Enjoyed but Aunt didn't work for me! Thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #59783: Thank you GusTheFox - great break during lunch. Got the final connection (scribe) only when I had the other three. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace @ #59778: Nice and simple, the palindromes are all very well-used by now. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace @ #59779: Inconsistent capitalisation made the golf group really obvious. And "Pan" doesn't belong with mining per se, consider a slightly broader definition to include it. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #59778: Really enjoyed this grid! Thank you! (2 years, 11 months ago)

xyldke @ #59776: Nice quiz and especially cool that everything was a bird! I had a really hard time but loads of fun. Unfortunately it seems as though "bird" was accepted as an answer for everything. So although I wrote songbirds I got points for smallest birds. And even though I said "fastest birds" I got points for the largest ones. Ican deduct these points mentally, but maybe it's possible to remove bird from the accepted words and focus on what makes them special. (2 years, 11 months ago)

SF7 @ #59773: I would change the nottingham forest group to european cup as that was the name of the competition all those teams won, pre dating the champions league name. Also not too sure on the purpose of it all being backwards, I get it adds to the difficulty but i would usually think it would need to add to some sort of connection - maybe thats just me though! Overall a good grid though. (2 years, 11 months ago)

SF7 @ #59771: Only got 6 as it didnt accept defenders and heroes - could maybe update the accepted words? Cheers mate - good grid! (2 years, 11 months ago)

SF7 @ #59729: Thought it was good grid - not sure what the other comment is referring to as there was definitely some crossover? (2 years, 11 months ago)

SF7 @ #59752: Really like it - only got 7 as I've never seen Waterloo Road. Great grid, thanks (2 years, 11 months ago)

RMP @ #59729: Very nice grid. Unlike the other commentator I found several red herrings for the "Seville" row. Just managed to find the right set in time! (2 years, 11 months ago)

SF7 @ #59770: Some feedback from me... Make sure you put in some more terms for the groups. I typed in backwards, world cup, languages and countries and didn't give me any! To which you might argue, countries is too vague... Well because there are no other countries on there it's impossible to go even further to mention the 'christianity symbols on flags'. Technically countries is right too. Which brings on to my main point - there needs to be crossover (some answers that could fall in to different categories). There are 4 names on there that are backwards so i clicked them without even reading them. There are 4 countries so there was my next guess. And then 4 first names so that was group 3. I had all 4 groups sorted in less than 20 seconds and that was with barely even reading them. However, there are some really interesting groups there but it's just not difficult at all.. Need to throw in some curveballs! Cheers. (2 years, 11 months ago)

SF7 @ #59767: Nice! Good challenge and misdirections/crossovers but just enough (for me anyway) to still get 10/10. Great grid, thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fred @ #59696: 2 groups (Q and Wizard groups) are quite niche, and too similar to each other. Other groups are good. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Plod @ #59757: Nice ty (2 years, 11 months ago)

RMP @ #59746: Very nice! And THAT is how to give the links in the answers :-) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace @ #59746: Nice grid, cunning, took me two reloads, even once I'd spotted three of the group connections. Falls right into my mindset, physics, maths, H2G2, computing. (2 years, 11 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59397: Got the 10 easily enough - needs more crossovers (2 years, 11 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59733: Too niche (2 years, 11 months ago)

Claud @ #58153: Spent a little while trying to rack my brain for a category that wasn’t here, because I thought one of the categories was going to be “Princesses” (Jasmine, Daisy, Buttercup) lol! (2 years, 11 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59709: Good observation - but nit enjoyable (2 years, 11 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59717: Some parts too obscure (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #59731: The sir group is just ludicrously obscure. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59726: Just about sums this one up (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59729: Very good, spotted a couple of red herrings. Pretty straightforward when you work out which ones. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Helen @ #59608: Devious! (2 years, 11 months ago)

guest @ #59725: Nice grid and satisfying to solve. Quite easy once you figure out the pattern, but not every grid has to be hard. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #59730: silly nonsense (2 years, 11 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #59731: Like the categories, but Sir group doesn't work - spellings should be accurate - could be tweaked to be really good (2 years, 11 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #2224: agree with other comment - silly categories, could be any number of things - and misspelt "tombone" (2 years, 11 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #59698: excellent, works well, just enough brain tickling! (agree there's only one way of solving) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Gridlington @ #59662: "Salut" (as it says in the answers) means Hello. (Small spelling error!) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #59702: very odd combination of categories with limited cross over - limited appeal here (2 years, 11 months ago)

Gridlington @ #59729: Yep, could use some red herrings :o) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tommy 212 @ #59730: Troll (2 years, 11 months ago)

UStralian @ #59729: Very nice. Gentle difficulty, but a good collection of herrings! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tommy 212 @ #59699: I don't actually like homonyms - they're too easy a cop-out. Even worse in yours, what body part is 'Air' supposed to be? Hair? If so, come on! That doesn't work. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tommy 212 @ #59700: Good grid, though I'd have scored you higher if you hadn't resorted to 'Raising Cane' instead of the correct Cain. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #59703: excellent - good range of topics, no pop culture ! (agree about queen) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Gordash @ #59729: Thanks. I was on the borderline of calling it Easy rather than Medium, but it is intended to be gettable. There are a few red herrings in there. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tommy 212 @ #59729: Decent grid with relatively difficult but manageable answers. However, each line seems quite self-contained and could perhaps do with some crossovers to make the overall grid a bit tougher. Keep going (2 years, 11 months ago)

misof @ #59703: Nice wall. Agreed with Tommy that Queen feels a bit off, but that's very minor. You may wish to add extra options for some groups, e.g., the alternate spelling "color" for one and "synonym" for another. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tommy 212 @ #59726: Quite funny actually, but don't be a dick! :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Gordash @ #59698: Great work. M and Paul have clearly misunderstood the three identical vowels group, Assam only has two. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #59698: Great grid! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Paul @ #59698: Enjoyable grid but I think M is right. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tommy 212 @ #59719: Wow! Simply too hard for me, Couldn't see any connection between those 16 apparently random words. Couple of things - Reef is in no way an area of water, Wade and Fleet are pretty niche Jameses and the Monopoly line is super-hard with half a clue. Thanks anyway, (2 years, 11 months ago)

Neil Davidson @ #59546: 7/10, countries grouping was fiendish! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tommy 212 @ #59718: Way too niche for me, but thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ade @ #59698: Lovely grid. Disagree with M, as far as I can tell there’s only one way the grid works. Thank you Ustralian (2 years, 11 months ago)

Simon @ #59712: Agree with Tommy... composers a bit niche (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tommy 212 @ #59703: Very good. Lots of crossovers and I liked that there were enough bands to lead me to search for which 4 were included, then there were none - clever! Only thing I didn't like was the Chess line where 3 were hidden, but one (Queen) was just given. I can understand why, but it was the only inconsistent thing in the grid make-up and spoiled it slightly for me, Good one though! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ade @ #59711: Brilliant grid. Thank you (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tommy 212 @ #59706: Good grid with some good crossover words. (2 years, 11 months ago)

guest @ #59685: Saxe? The rest of the grid is nice, but I don't understand the connection here. Someone please enlighten me. :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59711: Excellent grid, love this type Amazed I got it in 2.13 10s all round Thanks for posting, more, please (2 years, 11 months ago)

guest @ #59685: Saxe? The rest of the grid is nice, but I don't understand the connection here. Someone please enlighten me. :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tommy 212 @ #59708: Your answer for the ballon d'or line is wrong - first winner each century? Also, the England group one is too niche, even for a football fan like me, albeit a Scottish one! (2 years, 11 months ago)

daisy @ #59428: fight me you ninny (2 years, 11 months ago)

barry womble @ #59695: Twelve clicks and the ticker-tape parade. (2 years, 11 months ago)

barry womble @ #59698: Nice one. (2 years, 11 months ago)

barry womble @ #59711: I needed about ten minutes but enjoyed it nonetheless. Thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59705: Nice. Solved it in just over a minute. Loved the Kilpatrick line ( that was the only one I didn't know belonged in it). Wasn't sure the Edison group hung together brilliantly, but it didn't make solving the grid or finding the links impossible. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Trillium @ #59685: I don't feel blue after this one🙂 (2 years, 11 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59696: 3 groups far too niche (2 years, 11 months ago)

WSR & SKB @ #52515: Highly enjoyable, thanks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

M. @ #59698: Very nice however, Oolong and Assam fit in two categories and it still works...so you need to tighten up those connections ;) (2 years, 11 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59708: it didn't like footballers ? (2 years, 11 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59705: Got 3 groups - I don't know my oysters (2 years, 11 months ago)

Adrian Wills @ #59597: Since the characters in Reservoir Dogs were named after the coloured balls in snooker/pool, this should be available as a correct answer. Otherwise quality grid! (2 years, 11 months ago)

PotatoSalad @ #59698: Great grid. Very tough but enjoyed it. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59700: Ooops, color (doesn't work otherwise). (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59700: Excellent, liked the colour row. Well done. Thanks for posting (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace @ #59699: Air is supposed to be badly-pronounced hair, I guess. Worse though, IMO, is the reversed words group. It can work well if it results in real words, but nonsense ones like these are just annoying. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #59662: Hooray! Confetti! Great grid - thanks for posting! (2 years, 11 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #59698: Brilliant - I didn't get one connection, first time in ... I don't know how long! Thanks (2 years, 11 months ago)

RMP @ #59699: In one link you refer to homonyms, I think you mean homophones. Also I can't make it work for two of the items, but maybe that's just my accent. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Wordsworth @ #59698: Fantastic grid. Challenging without being too frustrating. (2 years, 11 months ago)

RMP @ #59698: That was tricky! So many red herrings. Defeated in the end by the Pea line. But fun! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Annelies @ #59689: PS Also I really like that people are getting creative with the formula, it keeps things interesting, and this one is hardly out there compared to what gridposters have come up with before. If you think this is convoluted, try one of the cryptic, picture, rebus, emoji or music ones :) Long live puzzgrid in all its forms. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Annelies @ #59689: Enjoyed this one, first confetti of the day (after trying a few). With a comfortable amount of time left on the clock, so I don't agree that it is too convoluted, I thought it was a nice idea and the right amount of challenging. I like the ones that are more about finding a clever pattern than about obscure knowledge. Thanks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #59662: Nice grid, thanks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #59685: Excellent grid! Thanks for the confetti! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Annelies @ #59684: Bit too early in the day for me. Didn't help that I'd never heard of 'silver cloud'. Seems to be an NHS virtual mental health platform? Even though I live in the UK I'd never heard of it. Maybe replace cloud with lining? (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #59698: Nice grid, got 7/10, the Bikini line stumped, very clever (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hypatia @ #59538: Nice grid. Should take "unit." (2 years, 11 months ago)

Plod @ #59691: Well I liked it (2 years, 11 months ago)

Bookmarker @ #55697: Nice one (2 years, 11 months ago)

Wordsworth @ #59668: Lovely grid! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Wordsworth @ #59651: Briefly entranced by "Bull", "Horse", and "Couldn't give a," assuming they were linked by s**t – probably my Antipodean mind (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jamie @ #59481: Designers should be an acceptable answer for fashion brands. The mathematician answer i said Theorists which feels like an acceptable answer as well (2 years, 11 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59680: Wizzed through it after spotting the links - liked it though (2 years, 11 months ago)

Plod @ #59676: Liked this ty (2 years, 11 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #25492: please tidy this up - frustrating (see other comments) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #25103: "precede" means go before, you mean "succeed" (come after) - also "hair" group should accept singular answer too (2 years, 11 months ago)

me @ #6140: Pretty good, had to guess at abaddon, then it was quite quick. (2 years, 11 months ago)

me @ #55166: Good idea, cluedo group poor though - colours also fits (scarlett johanson, yellow, peacock blue, plum). A tin of colmans would have been better on that. Others were very good. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tommy 212 @ #59675: Fiendish indeed, but it all works. Very niche though. (2 years, 11 months ago)

me @ #12138: pretty good, but some I wasn't familiar with (old navy?). (2 years, 11 months ago)

Duke of Clarence @ #59664: thanks you guys for the feedback (2 years, 11 months ago)

me @ #28408: Good one. Once you got the pattern it was not too difficult, but the idea was novel. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Richard @ #59675: Awesome (2 years, 11 months ago)

me @ #12924: Good one - enough to make you think without being too obscure (2 years, 11 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #59641: nice one apart from violet group - don't think that quite works (2 years, 11 months ago)

nush @ #58980: I did it (2 years, 11 months ago)

me @ #58061: Not difficult but nice grid. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #58718: not funny (2 years, 11 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #59608: very clever (carpet? hmm) but not impossible (2 years, 11 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #59660: great grid - just in the nick of time (once the penny dropped, but some good red herrings too) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Kerry @ #59667: Nice grid, includes a clever category. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tommy 212 @ #59664: Good try! Nearly really good, but a few were iffy and the cryp[tic couple (with backwards or anagrams) made it a bit off for me. Would be great if you try similar again. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tommy 212 @ #59669: You don't add just ING to the word run to make running! You need to accept other synonyms of rotate like e.g. turn as a correct answer. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tommy 212 @ #59668: You need to accept Gods as correct. (2 years, 11 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59667: couple of groups too niche - thanks anyway (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59652: Yay, got the lot, didn't expect to but nice. Red herrings aplenty. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59660: Nice and easy, fun to do. 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59662: Nice an easy straightforward grid. Some good red herrings too. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Cajun @ #59465: very well done (2 years, 11 months ago)

Cajun @ #59478: ...mum, ...aunt, ...dad, Bro...? Maybe Hasbro or something similar would work better. Nicely done otherwise (2 years, 11 months ago)

Enzed @ #59664: Nice.. not too difficult when you get your head around it, but still nice (2 years, 11 months ago)

Rocinante @ #59651: Very neat! Enjoyed this, thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Duke of Clarence @ #59652: Well I liked it - - Animal, Vegetable, Mineral? - well plants seemed pretty reasonable to me (2 years, 11 months ago)

Duke of Clarence @ #59654: Paul? - me neither. Sorry but grid revolves around a false group which is discovered straight away. Little more thought needed (2 years, 11 months ago)

Duke of Clarence @ #59664: Bit of fun [!][?] (2 years, 11 months ago)

Greg Hurst @ #59660: Fun! (2 years, 11 months ago)

FactGuy @ #59635: Yeah, that Goblu group was kind of half-assed if I’m going to be honest. Agloe is “supposed” to be the give away clue to the paper town clue, as it is a reference to the book by John Green with the same title. A paper town is essentially a mountweasel for cities. As for the trap question, perhaps it’s a regional thing, given I am from the US. I’ve heard the term trap house before, but maybe for the UK, it’s not as common. I think the problem with the wall is the lack of red herrings, and one of the groups being to narrow. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Duke of Clarence @ #59650: Malmsey, hah! Solve the wall but was not sure why. There are a couple in the last line [for me] that did not make mush sense [again for me] i.e. fog and art. Thank you mysterious person (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #59651: Great! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #59652: Caught out with the Ickx! Great grid! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #59654: Great grid! Thanks for posting! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #59660: Took me a while to get into it but what a great grid! Thanks for submitting! (2 years, 11 months ago)

SeedyEm @ #35648: Good one. There may be a SLIGHT claim that the solution is not unique as one might argue you can switch wild and green... but your solution is more solid. I like it! (2 years, 11 months ago)

RMP @ #59651: Very nice and satisfying! (2 years, 11 months ago)

RMP @ #59652: The whole point about lichen is that they are not what you claim the link is. You will have to make the link broader. Also algae are pretty borderline. (2 years, 11 months ago)

RMP @ #59654: Cannot see how Paul fits into its row at all. You really need to give the answers, not just the link. (2 years, 11 months ago)

RMP @ #59628: Nice red herrings (2 years, 11 months ago)

quodlibet @ #59493: Wonderful! And the theme was a tasty bonus. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Pendragon @ #59524: Ireland was accepted, but not Irish. Not enough alternatives for fairies. (2 years, 11 months ago)

JonBob @ #59628: Uptime is the measurement of how long a system has been continuously operating, without "going down." (2 years, 11 months ago)

York @ #59505: Rather good one. I like them when they're gettable but need plenty of thought. Snuck in with 10s left! (2 years, 11 months ago)

David M @ #59652: Very good wall with nice red herrings but solvable (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace @ #59654: Would have been good, but the sea creature group is terrible. I still couldn't work out the pau_ one without Google. And mixing one clue as obscure as that with one as broad as fish is really not good. (2 years, 11 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59652: A few good crossovers (2 years, 11 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59628: Sorry - not heard of uptime (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59577: Some good ideas. Enjoyed two groups - tungsten lobe and Aldrin. The clues on the wrote Everything I own line were rather messy, and using Spudnik, an obscure, disparaging, unofficial nickname for a mission, instead of Sputnik was just needless - the very open 'space race' connection made the group hard enough to sort. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace @ #59617: @Malcontent. I thought the feather clue was pretty good, but tights only works via the Mel Brooks movie title. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace @ #59652: Nice grid, quite simple, but note that algae and lichen are actually not plants at all. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59617: Got ten, solved in 1.15, but think the feather line link is rather loose as a connection. Enjoyed the grid and the other three lines though. (2 years, 11 months ago)

York @ #59506: Miss Rev etc are titles/honourifics, not just cleudo characters (2 years, 11 months ago)

ルー @ #59650: oops wrong flag (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace @ #59625: What exactly is a "Gothic novel" when it's at home anyway? (2 years, 11 months ago)

York @ #59511: Net Com Ca Org are what is called top level domains. That should be an acceptable answer. Coal Petroleum etc is not a good group/answer (2 years, 11 months ago)

Rowena @ #59563: Fun! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Quinton @ #57227: nigger (2 years, 11 months ago)

York @ #59514: Lee, Reed, A mall and flow, you can change first letter to s to make a new word. That group is too ambiguous (2 years, 11 months ago)

York @ #59516: Crockery should be a correct answer for Splatter etc (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59648: Nice and easy straightforward grid. Good red herring set too, well planned trap 😁 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 11 months ago)

Cajun @ #59634: Maybe add dwelling as an acceptable answer (2 years, 11 months ago)

Annelies @ #59648: Nice one, but the corvids saved me from being fooled by the false group right away. (Bit miffed that 'corvids' didn't give me points for that group.) (2 years, 11 months ago)

StinkyPete @ #59648: Very nice :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Annelies @ #59639: Failed on the animals - even though I have a set of hanafuda playing cards... (2 years, 11 months ago)

PotatoSalad @ #59642: Good grid. I like the red herring with the Martins. My only criticism is that I feel like the "add an extra s" group is pretty weak. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Annelies @ #59645: Sorry to be critical but... the Spanish foods seem more Tex-Mex to me? Also, 'meat', really?? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Annelies @ #59642: Another nice one, cheers. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Annelies @ #59641: So obvious once I'd found them but almost ran out of time there (maybe I need more coffee). (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace @ #59637: The ing group are also simply rhymes of each other, would be better with another non-rhyming one. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59635: Great ideas. Don't really understand the Goblu group, though it was the first I sorted - is that the same thing as mountweasel? Never heard of Trap belonging in that group and didn't know quite enough of the Wow answers to separate those two line before using up all my lives, even though I saw the links as soon as the wall appeared. (2 years, 11 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59628: Thanks for the comments - I was going to use Mark Knopfler instead of Almond but I couldn't spell that either. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59640: Pointless to try this with two or three impossibly obscure answers in all but one group, and red herrings, as well ten words that seem so similar in construction/derivation that it was impossible to make educated guesses, even if you've spotted all the links. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59644: Great, but one of your anagrams is just the word, not the anagram. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Shane Miles @ #59600: */**** (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace @ #59640: Impossible. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Quizzer @ #59638: Nice board. I would suggest subbing "blindness" and "deafness" for "blind" and "deaf" to make all of that group nouns (2 years, 11 months ago)

Quizzer @ #59541: Enjoyed this! Perhaps could be improved slightly by making all the "wales" ones exact synonyms e.g. sea mammal(s), unkind term for heavy (people). (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hamburger @ #59628: This is good. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59604: Only two groups really worked. 'All to do with...' is a very poor way to link. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59626: Very good, never heard of the sign one (Googled it after finishing) You learn something new every day. Failed on the Dumb row too 🤔 You win 10-6 Thanks for posting (Psst the lower case was a give away) (2 years, 11 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59608: its good to see people commenting - albeit negative ones. Most grids go through without a comment. i posted about 70 a couple of years ago (under a different name) and everyone had a number of comments.

Freddgar @ #59598: Thought one line was incorrect spellings. proffesional = professional plyers = pliers compolsive = compulsive cheater = cheetah (A red herring for a possible animals line) As Cheese says Ace is a court card, not a suit. Also frogs and toads are classed as amphibians not reptiles. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Plod @ #59572: I resemble that! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jmelb @ #59569: Took me a minute to clue in. WD, TY! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jmelb @ #59566: Unusually straightforward for you! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Gridlington @ #59577: Really liked the idea. I think you mean Sputnik though. And the Clarke clue was a bit too broad. (2 years, 11 months ago)

RMP @ #59570: soup row is very weak. Some are not like the others (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hamburger @ #59566: Excellent grid, great herrings. (2 years, 11 months ago)

AMX @ #59575: Love it! (2 years, 11 months ago)

barry womble @ #59578: great wall. (2 years, 11 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #59575: What a cracking grid! One of the connections, i must admit, made me laugh, but that's part of the fun! 10/10 and a 5* grid from me. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Dave @ #59560: Haha, did not expect to see the Tweenies as a collection on here! 5/5 from me for that! (2 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #59577: Nice idea but doesn't really work esp the 'bread' category. Needs a bit of work and it'll be fine (2 years, 11 months ago)

David @ #12181: The groups ones are essentially the same. (2 years, 11 months ago)

barry womble @ #59551: Liked this, thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tilly @ #59575: If you can avoid the trap [I didn't] vg wd (2 years, 11 months ago)

barry womble @ #59557: 5 stars just for the "Toms" - brilliant, well done. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Stephen @ #59560: No idea what you were going for with the "note taking" category. Very confusing. (2 years, 11 months ago)

barry womble @ #59575: Hey, great grid! (2 years, 11 months ago)

RMP @ #59563: I am with those who cannot think why phenol would belong in that group. (2 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #59567: Easy but not bad. However, 'about' is a suffix not a prefix as it comes after the word not before. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Julie Anne Tang-Evans @ #29074: Quite hard. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Julie Anne Tang-Evans @ #42198: Good one. (2 years, 11 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59557: Liked the groups - a few more crossovers would be nice (2 years, 11 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59570: Too obscure (2 years, 11 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59566: Nice an' easy thanks (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace @ #59539: Terrible answer explanations - I still haven't a clue about some of them. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Annelies @ #59481: Not too difficult. But why did you misspell Pythagoras? And another minor quibble - the mathematician/scientist label only really covers half of the 'thinkers' group (Newton and Diophantus were mathematicians, Newton also a scientist and natural philosoper, Plato not a scientist nor a mathematician but a philosopher, as was Pythagoras - he was credited with mathematical discoveries but there is little evidence they were actually made by him).

Annelies @ #59546: Nice tricksy one (2 years, 11 months ago)

barry womble @ #59566: Perfect. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace @ #59545: Please label foreign language grids accordingly. As it happens, I got all but one group connection, even with y lousy German. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Gridlington @ #59447: Virginia Wade, Steffi Graff and 2 other more obscure ones. Not one of your best Reggie - and I seek yours out cos they're usually good! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Gridlington @ #59563: Nice one! Enjoyed it. I think Fennel and Phenol sound pretty similar! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #59424: places ok but Mexico group a bit too obscure, even for a fan ! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tilly @ #59543: (2 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #59563: Enjoyable though this was, I doubt there is any accent on the planet where phenol would belong in the group you've assigned it (2 years, 11 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #59514: all fine except "urinal" - maybe change this item for another herring?(eg Chiffon) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tilly @ #59542: 2/10, so difficult to select the right adjective, plenty of face palm moments ty (2 years, 11 months ago)

Dan @ #59557: Man, that Tom category is great! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tilly @ #59541: Confetti, took me an age to get the occupation doh!. I enjoyed very much ty (2 years, 11 months ago)

George the Pilot @ #59540: 6/10, saw the blanket and started laughing. nice choices, thank you (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59534: Got the Sutton group and the Rock group quite quickly. Failed to separate the other 2 groups - should have spotted the links, or just realised there were 4 short and 4 long words. Got all 4 links in the end. Tricky, because of the red herring place names. (2 years, 11 months ago)

dgms @ #59534: I enjoyed it. I didn't solve the whole wall, only two lines, but I saw all the connections once the lines were sorted. I'm not sure it's a 'fiendish' one though. (2 years, 11 months ago)

barry womble @ #59542: Enjoyably difficult. (2 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #59511: Solved in 16 secs, very easy, but 2 of your categories are poor and very narrow in terms of what definition they'll take (2 years, 11 months ago)

Plod @ #59533: Easy but good - learnt about malmsey! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Amy @ #59497: Hi there. I liked this but failed because I put “royal children” in the last line. I reckon that deserves points! (2 years, 11 months ago)

DeanDean @ #59456: Didn't expect a missing vowels round on the wall. Though there's a misplaced A on there :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #59469: Quite a good grid. Three out of four groups connected, had a little trouble with the states group though. Right thought, wrong direction :) 7/10 (2 years, 11 months ago)

Kumquat @ #59509: Hut (2 years, 11 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #59511: This one needs a severe rethink. Only two out of four groups make any sense, and the other two are worded in such a way that even if you give the right answer, they're going to be marked wrong. Would recommend the writer goes back and edits this grid, or many people will miss out on a full 10/10. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Rowan Williams @ #59494: More than merely (Almost), I think you'll find! (2 years, 11 months ago)

mat @ #59467: Doggo and Diego feel like a stretch, the other three were good though. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ms Slink @ #59506: Would have liked a bit more variety in the links - black and white feel a bit too similar. Also, the CAPS LOCK feels a bit shouty! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Stu @ #59506: Need to spell Cluedo correctly . . . (2 years, 11 months ago)

Stuart Townsend @ #59492: Fun board! Eric must have been having a bad day...... (2 years, 11 months ago)

barry womble @ #59494: I had two cracks at this that both ended in humiliation - tremendous grid, though. (2 years, 11 months ago)

DeanDean @ #59493: Very nice! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Greg @ #49709: Easy but super super clever (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nathan @ #59492: Hi, Thanks for playing :) To answer your questions: 1. Actors is too broad and not specific enough answer. 2. The lion, the witch and the wardrobe is ONE book in the series The Chronicles of Narnia. It's like saying the Chamber of Secrets is correct for Harry Potter book series etc. 3. Obviously red is not correct (2 years, 11 months ago)

Greg @ #30437: NBA teams was sneaky! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #59493: Brilliant grid! (2 years, 11 months ago)

eric @ #59492: Shocker - clearly the first connection is also actors...the second connection is also the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe....yet I'm marked wrong, clearly Red is ok for the third connection, as i have a red bassoon which i used to play at the Garbage Red Jazz club many years ago - please check your connections thoroughly before ....... (2 years, 11 months ago)

Stephan @ #59495: Sorry, but this is very poorly designed. The connections are tenous at best, and so obscure as to be almost non-existent ... "fill in the blank with and, and change one of the letters in one of the words..." In the one connection that makes the most sense, you have also made an error in that thirteen reasons why is not a movie like the others in that category, but a streaming series. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59495: Ditto, communication is all. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Simon @ #59489: Agree with Elizabeth, should have some sort of warning ! Waste of 3 minutes (2 years, 11 months ago)

Langers @ #59495: Makes little sense - rawking chair??? You also need to explain the answers - add a word and change a letter in each word to make a phrase??? Sorry! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Langers @ #59456: A good challenging grid (2 years, 11 months ago)

haywood @ #59476: How very aquatic. Too bad about the grid though. (2 years, 11 months ago)

haywood @ #59485: herrings galore, not hard to spot where the setter is from, brrr (2 years, 11 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #59460: The category with 'cars needs some more words. I tried three that were pertinent but they weren't the one you were after. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace @ #59483: Nice fiendish clues, but got there in the end. Took me two refreshes to work them all out though. (2 years, 11 months ago)

PANOPTES @ #59493: This one has a theme. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #58098: as usual I fell down on Potter / pop culture category but a nice straightforward grid apart from that (2 years, 11 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #59489: The worst type of grid as far as I am concerned - completely dependent on specific knowledge of popular culture - no variety or wit (2 years, 11 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #59432: good, some nice red herrings but not too tricky (2 years, 11 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #59469: easy, clean, but acceptable answers need to be widened (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59485: Nice and easy straightforward grid. A red herring or two. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

haywood @ #59346: Right on. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Henrietta @ #59460: Not too bad, but don't use ALL CAPS. (2 years, 11 months ago)

charles @ #41036: very nice (2 years, 11 months ago)

Henrietta @ #59486: Easy enough (I didn't know the Harry Potter one, but Lumos just about saves you from me complaining that you should have allowed first words of Latin phrases). Those sweet treats don't necessarily have to made with apple, though. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Cockles @ #59346: Superb, 5* (2 years, 11 months ago)

Thomas @ #59473: One obscure group, two too obvious groups, one reasonable but lack of any herrings. Easy not medium, not well designed. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ali @ #59367: Nice idea but there are crossovers meaning not a unique solution. Romeo and Juliet can be swapped, as can foxtrot and tango. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Gridlington @ #59397: Yeah, what he said! (2 years, 11 months ago)

bigz @ #59073: Agree. House makes zero sense and just muddies up half the grid. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Doge @ #59397: Such Good! Much Enjoy! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tyvent @ #59363: @Krista - One can use tautologies for humorous effect. True fact. I'm not over exaggerating ;) (2 years, 11 months ago)

troemyd @ #59395: lodestone (2 years, 11 months ago)

Yotk @ #57923: Why is it I put in Johnson, Wand, Show and Carpet as a connection and it didn't accept it? (2 years, 11 months ago)

dgms @ #59386: Very good, thank you. Enjoyed the Elizabeth group and the red herrings. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Yotk @ #57928: Agree with bigz, this was poor (2 years, 11 months ago)

bigz @ #59048: Two losers in the transport group. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #59324: Wasn`t sure about the Queen`s line/set,didn`t quite work but overall good-TY (2 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #59333: Too movie- niche for me to get a good score. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #59338: Mmm-the words they go with are all over the place but it does kinda work. Still I enjoyed trying. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #59363: Facts are always true by the way! So you just need to say `fact` not true fact. But not arguing with the premise . TY enjoyed the grid. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Yotk @ #57934: Grrrrr game of bloody thrones! :D (2 years, 11 months ago)

SRW27 @ #59391: Good tricky grid...thanks (2 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #59373: Add medical conditions and even ailments-just as correct since they are not always occupational diseases. Good grid-TY. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #59392: The names of each group was harder than sorting them out and actually there were several completley correct answers-Pulses, Actors, Processed foods, Parts of pop group names. But I still enjoyed it TY. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Yotk @ #57948: Good one. Too hard for me, but good (2 years, 11 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #59388: well put together but too much TV in these grids (2 years, 11 months ago)

Yotk @ #57961: Pretty good, although not sure about E-gals. E-gulls maybe. I like the homophone idea though. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Yotk @ #57963: Nice one. Utterly confusing at first, but once you chalk 'em off, becomes clear. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Yotk @ #57970: Really poor accepted answers for one and two. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Samuel @ #59387: It may be a bit of a stretch, but the rappers' names are also athletes named Johnson: Andre, Calvin, and Marshall Johnson are all former NFL wide receivers, and Shawn Johnson was an Olympic gymnast. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59351: Some good ideas, but not great over all SPOILERS 'Tudor siblings' is quite a poor group - they're also all famous people surnamed Miller - much less nebulous a a link 'Jobs' isn't very interesting The comedian is Lee Mack, with a K. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59386: Good - too sneaky for me though (2 years, 11 months ago)

Rowena @ #42328: Very enjoyable. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Gridlington @ #59372: I agree - none of the words in the synonyms group are synonyms for "baffle", except for "boggle" maybe. Gawk and Gape mean to stare, marvel means to be filled with wonder. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59347: Nice and simple - no red herrings, or obscure knowledge needed . Easy to solve in just over a minute, but it seemed very difficult to find the words you accepted for the links. Perhaps you wanted plurals for them all (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59379: Tricky, but fun. All word puzzles though and no general knowledge groups, which was a bit disappointing. Good that the synonym group accepts 'synonym', as I don't agree with the word you've chosen as the common definition. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59342: Excellent. The Holden link tripped me up. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59372: Brilliantly constructed, and very interesting groups. I couldn't solve any of it even though I saw two links as soon as the grid appeared. The simple general knowledge group was totally unknown territory for me,and I don't really agree with the synonyms/definition group. (2 years, 11 months ago)

alexboi @ #59337: yeah Neil Young is absolutely a rock singer (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #59362: Caught out by the brey group. Well done! Thanks for posting this. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59369: Excellent grid. Nice mixture of word puzzles and general knowledge. Loved the extra hint of the two misspellings which made me see there were other words hidden in them. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59367: Nice and easy, lots of red herrings though. Well done. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59346: Nice and simple, with a couple of red herrings. Good categories. Thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59360: Pretty easy if you have a little knowledge of Norse myth and/or Wagner. Solved in under a minute. A bit monotonous and one category is just wrong. None of the people listed are just humans, and only two are 'Heros'. Sieglinde and Siegmund are demigods, children of Wotan, Siegfried is their son, and Brunhilde is a Valkyrie - another daughter of Wotan. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Shane Miles @ #59365: Poor (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59350: Nice and easy straightforward grid 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 11 months ago)

Yotk @ #31532: Getting fed up of how many times I put the correct sequence in and it rejects it. (2 years, 11 months ago)

A @ #59307: @Yotk - Miami is a city, and red herrings are what make good grids. The goat group is over the top though, you'd need to know about goats AND American sports AND an understanding of what the acronym GOAT means in order to have any chance at that group. It's a bit much. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #36842: please amend definition of "nerd" group to allow meanings, not just "insult" - eg "weak person" etc. Good use of herrings here > just in time solving, nice. (2 years, 11 months ago)

joe @ #54351: units of CURRENCY not currency - how many people have lost points because of your spelling? The 'English alphabet' link is very dodgy 'Added to a letter' should also recognise 'accents' (2 years, 11 months ago)

Yotk @ #48094: I feel the head definitions is stretching it a bit, otherwise a good one. Like the Atkinson misdirection (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace @ #59336: I'm no biologist but got all the groups, so I'm OK with 'easy' The answers given, however, are not all correct. "Substances" is just far too vague, and flagellum and organisms are completely wrong. Maybe switched around makes organisms correct, but no the other one. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #59302: Great grid! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #59324: Great grid! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tilly @ #59295: ditto (2 years, 11 months ago)

Yotk @ #31547: Pretty good. Knew it was David Tenant, couldn't get Srooge Mc though, v clever putting the doctor in. I think putting shakepeare in should get a mark for four though. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Yotk @ #59296: Beach bar? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Rys @ #59302: @D.Ceeving - I checked pit in wiktionary and Webster's. Pit, pip, stone, and seed pit are synonymous for a seed in peaches and some other fruits. Pith is different fruit stuff. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Rys @ #59307: Goats? Clever clever. But in the description, you should note two of them are G.O.A.T.S. Many people won't understand the pun otherwise. For the US states, I typed States (unless I typoed) and was marked incorrect. You may want to double check your link terms. (2 years, 11 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #59241: That was interesting. Until I fitted the first two groups together, I couldn't see the last two or how they worked. But this is a very good grid, definitely fun for a mental exercise. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Trillium @ #59296: For some reason this grid does not accept the word that is the actual nswer, even though that word is shown on the solution page. For the group with "7". (2 years, 11 months ago)

Simon @ #59296: Not a bad grid, but too many "all preceded by" links imho. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tilly @ #59253: no (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace @ #58557: I got half of it, the anagrams are tricky without any clue, the battles far too specialised for me. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #58616: sometimes you overdo the complexity of the word ones - liked the other categories though (2 years, 11 months ago)

SF7 @ #59241: Not for me, its all the same so a bit boring tbh - mix the groups up! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59232: Well worked. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59240: Well put together. Spotted the plot, but as per Hamburger couldn't solve the wall. Easy after the reveal. You win 10/4 Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59241: Very good grid, well put together. Easy(ish) when you spot the plot, which I didn't till after the reveal. You win 10/6 Thanks for posting (2 years, 11 months ago)

Stephen @ #59217: Just allow "synonyms" on its own for a question like the penetrate one. Very annoying when you fail to guess the arbitrarily chosen word(s). (2 years, 11 months ago)

Enzed @ #59241: Quite easy but good fun (2 years, 11 months ago)

David @ #59231: I liked the REM/Rem red herring. High quality, fiendishly difficult. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hamburger @ #59240: I sensed the theme but couldn't nail it. Cheers. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Plod @ #59238: Fun (2 years, 11 months ago)

Plod @ #59237: Nice (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nathan @ #415: trash füking puzzel (2 years, 11 months ago)

Risk @ #59122: Fun grid (2 years, 11 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #59172: Good grid. Couple of nice red herrings in there. 10/10 though and a fine start to the night! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #59228: good fun (2 years, 11 months ago)

nait @ #28219: found this one super easy actually, 2:01 left. potato herrings only thing that tripped me up, surprised so many people never heard of a smokey eye! (2 years, 11 months ago)

SF7 @ #59168: Fire of London 1666, hastings 1066, alexander arnold plays for liverpool and wears number 66, Route 66 famous road in america 13 people at last supper 12 disciples and jesus?, 13 reasons why is a netflix show, 13 subdivisions in canada, friday 13th, 5 pillars of islam, 5 senses, 5 golden rings in the xmas song, jackson 5 100 blasts of shofar (unsure about that one), there's 100 senators in the US senate i think, £100 note in Scottish circulation, 9.58secs is the world record for the 100 metres i think... (2 years, 11 months ago)

SF7 @ #59219: nice, some good red herrings in there and nice variety (2 years, 11 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #59057: (2 years, 11 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #59057: very good - nearly got it all - like your style with "hidden" items (2 years, 11 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #59055: enjoyed this but please allow "places to eat" - (are they really restaurants?) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #59168: I agree - liked the ideas and got my confetti, but had to guess the Scottish note row - no idea about others included (which senators? etc) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Kumquat @ #59213: very nice! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Phil @ #59223: Like the Office one :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Daniel Caprera @ #59172: Fun quiz - I feel like there are maybe two typos (unless you're thinking of different musicians) it's spelled Oates not Oats, and it's Pepa not Pepper (2 years, 11 months ago)

SF7 @ #59204: (2 years, 11 months ago)

SF7 @ #59204: Good! Nice and easy. Full marks in 45 seconds is one of my best results I've had so I'll take it! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Dani @ #45794: Ich würde auch bei der "ergo" Zeile sowas wie "Konjunktionen" oder "Begründungen" oder irgend sowas gelten lassen. (2 years, 11 months ago)

bigz @ #58843: Those are Anglicized or Americanized spellings of German style sausages, so, I think the spellings are OK. Diss, on the other hand, needs a 2nd S to become a verb. (2 years, 11 months ago)

David @ #59184: Love the deeply grownup name. Respect. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Langers @ #59204: Nice grid - good red herrings! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tilly @ #59204: ditto (2 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #59204: Excellent grid (2 years, 11 months ago)

SF7 @ #59208: Took me a while to get what was going on but got there in the end! I still prefer grids that have variety between the groups but this was still a good test - thanks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

SF7 @ #59210: Also typed pyramid instead of triangle but the main issue is 19, 1999 and 1985 are allsongs and albums so are interchangeable - impossible to solve at that point! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tilly @ #59208: happy with my 3/10 (2 years, 11 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #59208: Thanks again, Hamburger. One of my favourite grids and got it with enough spare time left to figure out the last connection. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #59204: good! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Stephen @ #59210: Tough but fair! Also I typed pyramid numbers instead of triangle numbers. :\ (2 years, 11 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #59115: nice one (2 years, 11 months ago)

Kumquat @ #59212: Beautiful! (2 years, 11 months ago)

barry womble @ #59212: Easy but excellent, thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace @ #58843: @frank it was the "liverwurst" to which I was referring, actually. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59184: They are all primates. Good grid other than that. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Plod @ #59202: Rightio, will do (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59202: Not too difficult. Maybe allow acronyms 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59208: Excellent grid, great fun to play. Had to reload, so probably took me 5 minutes. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Stephen @ #59202: Agree with Georgia. "Text and SMS abbreviations" rather than "internet abbreviations" seems outdated to me. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Stephen @ #59184: Lost a point to the monkey category because I typed "primates". :\ (2 years, 11 months ago)

frank @ #42399: bad puzzle for the same reason as others have mentioned. puzzles should have one solution (or it should accept both). This would be like doing a sudoku but then being judged as wrong when the author left multiple solutions as valid. (2 years, 11 months ago)

frank @ #58843: agree with ace: should have the word knack. That said, the whole point of the difficulty of this one is that the categories all overlap. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Stephen @ #59201: Gardening tools was far too easy. Didn't like "synonyms for group", too... generic, I guess? (2 years, 11 months ago)

AMX @ #59205: Nice! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Georgia @ #59157: Great wall, and as Freddgar said, I learned a new word aswell! (2 years, 11 months ago)

spburstein78 @ #59207: Please ignore this grid, it is an accidental copy. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Anne @ #39823: This is about knowledge so not knowing about Pokemon is no excuse to bash it. You failed. The rest of us fail all the time. Live with it (2 years, 11 months ago)

Anne @ #8619: Maybe shut up about it being too easy. If people think it's hard accept that and stop whining (2 years, 11 months ago)

Georgia @ #59188: Nice wall! A whole range of knowledge required :) Was the perfect combination of me and and my boyfriend's knowledge. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Georgia @ #59202: Surprisingly I got two groups and two connections despite being from the UK! Perhaps quite specific for a certain country. For one connection you may want to include "slang" or "internet" generally :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ethel Q @ #59157: Fun - thanks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hamburger @ #59202: Pretty cool. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nothing ‘ace’ about Ace @ #234: What a load of unfathomable miscellanea. Yet, ‘Ace’ has the audacity to be unrelentingly obnoxious in their comments on others’ grids. YAWN. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nora @ #59195: very clever (2 years, 11 months ago)

Plod @ #59151: Smart TY! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nora @ #59181: sexy writer (2 years, 11 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #59115: That was a very good grid. Didn't get the last two groups, the Medway and the Severn set, but overall a good brain teaser. 6/10 (2 years, 11 months ago)

bigz @ #58810: Ditto from me on OS X. Northern, nickname or club name or something niche? (2 years, 11 months ago)

lorelei @ #59192: davud cannot make a quiz to sabe his life that is why he is failing my class right now the biy must strart doing his current events on time! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59180: Nice and easy straightforward grid 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 11 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #59151: clever but categories seem too obscure for me (2 years, 11 months ago)

Alexander Krah @ #59120: I put Christianity as an answer for the one that says Catholicism. I think you should accept christianity. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Dawgs @ #58763: I really liked the Pokemon types red herring (2 years, 11 months ago)

Dawgs @ #58777: Should "restaurant" have deserved credit? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Dawgs @ #59128: "couch" deserves credit (2 years, 11 months ago)

Gangster Gnu-o @ #59119: The mighty Gangster Gnu-o crushed this grid in a measley 21 seconds. The raging intellect on display here was not stumped by your attempted red herrings, a good effort regardless though. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jane @ #59168: Interesting grid but I would have liked more detail in the answers. Any chance you could explain them more fully? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fred @ #59166: A small typo that's off-putting... HIll should be Hill. Nice work otherwise! (2 years, 11 months ago)

quodlibet @ #59163: Tricky! (2 years, 11 months ago)

BinDipper @ #59115: Quality grid (2 years, 11 months ago)

JonBob @ #59119: Easy but great. @BexyLou I see that the term does exist, but "Grandmother" isn't in extremely widespread use in that context so it didn't offend me. (2 years, 11 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #59157: Cracking grid, Hadders. You're good at this! Got two out of four groups, and once the other two resolved when I ran out of guesses, I got the four connections. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace @ #59162: Very poor. How many four-letter words are there? Two balls in different groups. Pencil group is all wrong, pen doesn't belong there and it should be spelt 'lead'. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jim @ #59162: Oh brother, this guy stinks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59157: Very good, got the lot then looked up what Perigean meant. Well I never, learnt something new. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

venomzest @ #54052: Das Quiz war eigentlich gut, bloß leider wurde "Limonade" und "Palindrom" nicht anerkannt. Sondern anscheinend hätte ich einfach "Limo" und "Palindrome" schreiben müssen, obwohl ich denke, dass es eigentlich egal sein müsste. Einfach beim nächsten Mal darauf achten, dass Leute auf verschiedene Varianten die Antwort geben könnten, damit du sie alle abdeckst. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Joseph @ #59115: 10/10 Great PuzzGrid right there (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #59154: I liked it! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #59156: I didn't get all the connections but enjoyed the grid! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #59157: Liked it! Thank you for submitting! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Thomas @ #59140: Very one note, requesting one area of knowledge only which isn’t good. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Thomas @ #59154: 50% pretty original with lack of red herrings. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Anne @ #47477: Too many red herrings make it silly (2 years, 11 months ago)

Rowena @ #59098: Good grid. Nice mix and a bit different. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Rowena @ #59136: Nice (2 years, 11 months ago)

itsame @ #59153: It seems that Agatha Christie's book is called "Five Little Pigs" not three (2 years, 11 months ago)

BexyLou @ #59119: Great grid, but not unique groups, Grandfather and Grandmother can be swapped. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace @ #59152: Contrived, and sadly inaccurate. Anna was first mentioned as being present 40 days after the birth of Jesus. (2 years, 11 months ago)

SM @ #59146: Newcastle, Sheffield, Leeds and Manchester are also all Cities in england or the north of england as well. there is nothing to suggest that this has got something to do with football. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Steve @ #59153: @SM Thanks that’s changed now (2 years, 11 months ago)

SM @ #59153: Elizabeth Badinter did not make her money from writing so think this is a bit misleading. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Anne @ #27834: Explain all the clues. It's annoying (2 years, 11 months ago)

Steve @ #59142: Thanks for playing, this is the first puzzle without vowels so tell me what you think! Thanks Steve (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tilly @ #59135: A pinch of NaCl for dwell maybe. Good grid (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tilly @ #59119: Ditto (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace @ #59137: I can't see any silent letters in vegetable. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace @ #59146: Quite nice, if a little simple. The groupings all dropped out quite easily, with only a couple of tiny red herring, but the cities are not uniquely linked only by your defined connection. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tilly @ #59140: Could not find the link on some, quite a rush - more please! ty (2 years, 11 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #59135: Enjoyed this - thanks, Hamburger. Another great grid. The harp connection could also be 'on' (2 years, 11 months ago)

Dgms @ #59117: Very good. Nice mixture of groups, good red herrings. Thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Thom @ #59137: Might want to add "palindrome" as a connection for the "spelt the same backwards and forwards" clue, seeing as that's what they're called. Other than that, nice wall (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hamburger @ #59134: Great grid. Unfortunately for me I kept adding myself. (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #59119: Nice grid, thank you for my confetti! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jane @ #59097: Great grid, but I agree with Aetees. I got all the connections but missed two points because I put “half” instead of “divide by two”, and “double” instead of “times two”. Boo! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hadders @ #59124: I connected the verbs with 'out' rather than 'up' (2 years, 11 months ago)

Simon @ #59104: Siamese cat colours ? A bit specialist (2 years, 11 months ago)

Clue_Sure @ #29197: @Khitty Thank you for this long, kind response to my puzzle! :) You're right, "toys" was a bit easy. But Puck and Top could also be toys, so there are kind of 6 possibilities there. Plus I figured not everyone would be familiar with Shakespeare or subatomic particles, so a more straightforward category was necessary. (2 years, 11 months ago)

coco @ #59113: I enjoyed the links, good variety. Could benefit from some crossovers or red herrings Nevertheless, enjoyed! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Clue_Sure @ #39625: @tadjinar, it was kind of a happy accident! My original intention with the "solar" category was to make "Eclipse" tricky. Also "Orbit" might have something to do with the sun too. :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fan Fan @ #59078: This is brilliant, thank you! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fan Fan @ #58695: Nice grid, but having ** at the end of the word when the others in the group were at the front felt like a slight cop out! (2 years, 11 months ago)

bigz @ #58722: NICHE NICHE NICHE (2 years, 11 months ago)

bigz @ #58719: Mundi, not mundus. Mappa is placed before mundi properly. You need the possessive form of mundus. Misdirects are fine, typos happen, but your bad Latin grammar screws your grid up. Old boy is interesting, must be colloquial. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Me @ #59073: Where in the world is "House" a synonym for eating?? I literally can find no reference to this online anywhere. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hadders @ #59075: Some really nice tricks in here, and very satisfying connections (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59048: Fairly straightforward grid. Bought might be a stretch for non Lancashire / Yorkshire folk 😉 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59045: Very good, but... You may want to tighten up on the accepted answers. Detectives, singers, colours and rivers were all accepted as correct. Not complaining though, I got 10/10 😁 Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Gangster Gnu-o @ #58695: Clever Red Herrings, and satisfying connections. However, star signs are a figment of our collective unconscious, and have been planted by big pharma. (2 years, 11 months ago)

a.redo @ #59034: this is a really great one! good job. super satisfying when you figure it out (2 years, 11 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #59034: This was a first class grid. Should be the grid of the day! Got me thinking for a moment or two before things started to drop into place. It was like Mental Tetris, and I finished all the rows! One clue gave a group away, and it was great fun! (2 years, 11 months ago)

barry womble @ #59034: Tremendous. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Beth @ #58695: Nice and clear with lots of red herrings (2 years, 11 months ago)

Gridder @ #59026: Good puzzle overall, enjoyed it, but the T in tsunami is not silent. It is not pronounced 'sunami'. (2 years, 11 months ago)

CRSU30 @ #59026: Thank you for you enjoyment, Aetees! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #58969: Never heard of castella cake (2 years, 11 months ago)

Aetees @ #59026: Very enjoyable. Thanks for posting (2 years, 11 months ago)

Anne @ #59012: Saw all the categories and still only managed to find one group... nice one. (2 years, 11 months ago)

CRSU30 @ #59028: Thanks, Will! Trying to improve my grid making and this one took some time but quite glad you like it! :)) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Paul @ #59027: Good board, just need to be clearer in getting the boat/hello groups. Didn't guess water vessels or greetings to get the points! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #59007: Lucky I live near Birmingham (2 years, 11 months ago)

Will @ #59028: Great grid! Loads of crossovers. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Stuart Townsend @ #58992: A fun one to do, but not one for old curmudgeons like SF7 (2 years, 11 months ago)

paul @ #59017: Nice one. Spend 3 minutes trying to find all the instruments! (2 years, 11 months ago)

paul @ #59022: Lovely. Muppets references always get top marks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace @ #59000: not at all bad, I particularly liked the duck one for some reason. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace @ #59022: Manservant, Valet or Gentleman's gentleman, but never butler, for two of the group at least, possibly three. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ethel Q @ #58578: Quick and satisfying - thanks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fleetato @ #58956: I changed the book category (2 years, 11 months ago)

RMP @ #59003: The link for the "sword" row mentions "clown" which does not occur in that row, or anywhere in the grid. (2 years, 11 months ago)

brook @ #59000: this was awful. drop out. (2 years, 11 months ago)

brook @ #59003: star twice? (2 years, 11 months ago)

a.redo @ #58977: this is a great grid! the red herrings are awesome (2 years, 11 months ago)

bloss @ #58998: Excellent. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Rocinante @ #58969: Enjoyed this, thank you. I might also have taken away a star on Sheeran grounds but I gave it back for reminding me of castella cake! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #58987: Well worked. Slipped up on the vision row answer 😞 You win 10-7 Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Mostly70sTV @ #58993: fyi the one group all have a cross on their flags (2 years, 11 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #58994: The music group definition was too narrow. They're also music groups, bands, etc... (2 years, 11 months ago)

cody @ #39209: Sexy and fun! Lover of the Taylor Swift reference (lol ;)) Great puzzle!!! Keep up the good work (2 years, 11 months ago)

cody @ #42675: Great puzzle! Loved the black garlic, so creative! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Rocinante @ #58977: Very nicely conceived and executed grid, thank you. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jane @ #58990: Good grid, but I lost a point for putting football “ground” instead of “stadium”, boo. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Gangster Gnu-o @ #33032: NGL, low-key Mid. Your Toxic Fav Gangster Gnu-o (2 years, 11 months ago)

Gangster Gnu-o @ #10172: In the hit 2020 Movie Wreck-It Ralph: Ralph Breaks the Internet, there is a scene featuring certified "Disney Princesses." This scene includes all the characters in the group, and therefore, despite not being Princesses in the traditional sense, they are 100% "Disney Princesses." No. 1 Disney Stan Gangster Gnu-o (2 years, 11 months ago)

Gangster Gnu-o @ #32130: In reference to Aidan, A xoxo Gangster Gnu-o (2 years, 11 months ago)

Gangster Gnu-o @ #58977: Very high quality, lots of red herrings good job Sent by Gangster Gnu-o on the apple toilet. (2 years, 11 months ago)

SF7 @ #58990: I really like it, some nice red herrings and some good variety. Only got 7 as I mistyped salad!! (2 years, 11 months ago)

SF7 @ #58992: Got full marks but another one where all the groups are too similar! If you don't know much about technology then you're wasting your time with this. I like to see a bit of variety across the groups both in terms of themes but also the types of clue. Words within words, words that can precede, anargrams etc (2 years, 11 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #58983: unenjoyable - far too niche (2 years, 11 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #58971: lacks crossovers and 2 groups a bit vague (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #58936: Great grid! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #58957: Great grid! I didn't get the Raven group connection. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tilly @ #58977: Rotten cheese, brilliant disguise (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ade @ #58890: Very clever. But I “fear” that one group in particular was way too difficult for me. At least I have learnt some new words so thank you and do please carry on gridding. (2 years, 11 months ago)

bigz @ #58584: Llama is pronounced YAH MAH Not lammah Getting the other 3 lets that group fall into place by elimination. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ade @ #58980: Very clever. Failed miserably but really enjoyed the challenge. Thank you (2 years, 11 months ago)

Simp Le-ton @ #58980: too tough for me, I was thinking of Brian Cox but I don't get the rest of the Month clues. (2 years, 11 months ago)

sfumato @ #39712: Well done! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ade @ #58969: I’m afraid you lost a star for mentioning Sheeran. Just don’t get the man. Thank you anyway (2 years, 11 months ago)

bigz @ #58581: Don't get tout. Otherwise, lots of confusion and well made. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ade @ #58935: Brilliant from you. 10/10 for me Everyone’s a “winner”. Thank you (2 years, 11 months ago)

bigz @ #58576: Each group has at least one answer which makes absolutely no sense.Pretty poor effort. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #58980: Clever! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ade @ #58958: At least it was a good one. Thank you (2 years, 11 months ago)

Kaye @ #58971: Nice grid - I didn't get the indoor plants. Money plant just sounds made up... (2 years, 11 months ago)

Pookington @ #58978: Excellent grid. Completely stumped me. Being high as balls probably didn't help me much, though. But I got a big fat hairy zero. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Thomas @ #58956: Farm row also weak being just “a word” (2 years, 11 months ago)

Thomas @ #58959: Medium perhaps, not hard. (2 years, 11 months ago)

RMP @ #58945: I love these ones. I liked the theme! (2 years, 11 months ago)

RMP @ #58955: Sterling with that meaning is not spelled like that. (2 years, 11 months ago)

RMP @ #58956: Fahrenheit row link is very weak (2 years, 11 months ago)

Cat @ #58927: "Halo 2 Multiplayer Maps" is a bit niche. (2 years, 11 months ago)

RMP @ #58931: The given link for "ling" simply does not work (2 years, 11 months ago)

Cat @ #58921: I think you mean they can have OW as an ending. Even if you used the closer term "suffix", real suffixes must be added to a root word to change the usage/meaning of the word. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Matt @ #58936: Rivet category could do with more possible answers accepted (2 years, 11 months ago)

DRTGNN @ #58890: This is my first grid so your feedback would be much appreciated - what did you like/hate? What could I improve for next time? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Personamb @ #58837: Interesting take on a wall. Some errata: "Olympic game types" is a little ambiguous as to what that means There are lots of variations on the game Mafia and the core game only has two roles. (2 years, 11 months ago)

RMP @ #58938: I think there is something wrong with the link for the "pit" row. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Personamb @ #58914: Excellent wall, I appreciate the phantom group (2 years, 11 months ago)

Andrew White @ #58891: Those homophones were poor (2 years, 11 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #55740: Great grid. Gave my brain a workout before something clicked into place and I slotted everything into where it was supposed to be. I wouldn't have fitted the "Clock" group together, that was the bit that took the most though :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #58918: Nice and easy, straightforward grid 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #58921: Good grid, maybe allow synonyms ? 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 11 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #58908: Brilliant grid, I missed the Pony group cause I didn't have a clue, but that's a very good one to play. (2 years, 11 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #1382: I can't say what I really think of this grid, because you would ban me for life, burn my IP address and scatter the ashes of it in hell. Let's just say that it's not worth the time or the worry. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Mr Ruth @ #1494: Hey Gnock this was pretty good. Nice job. Stay off the horse. (2 years, 11 months ago)

haywood @ #58895: track and desk lines, ok, but I think you're expecting too much for the rest (2 years, 11 months ago)

haywood @ #58902: 7/10, you got me on the nicky line, I never wear those things (2 years, 11 months ago)

haywood @ #58910: Should have done a little better than my score of 1 (2 years, 11 months ago)

haywood @ #58871: Dutch is right. Also (spoiler) the queen group nearly threw me off because of the obvious association with the mercury group, but you'd have needed an extra red herring or crossover to make it work. Good effort though! (2 years, 11 months ago)

haywood @ #58893: Why Americans continue to think the world is interested in their dumb states and stupid state capitals is a total mystery... Otherwise, nice grid dude. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Horatio @ #58909: What is platnun? It is a bad typo. What is Catan? A very niche game. What are Mottled and Wood? Ducks found specifically in small areas of America. The gray, gold etc line is impenetrable given the other flaws in this grid. Please try to make grids that you are not the only human alive that would be able to solve. (2 years, 11 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #58859: Good - not too tricky and nice to see a few crossovers (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace @ #58797: Nice one. Downing a surprisingly good red herring/confuser. (2 years, 11 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #58860: solved in52 secs but it didn't like any of my groupings (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace @ #58810: What have OSX and Northern got to do with lions? and I don't think undertale or taleunder are real words. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace @ #58829: Far too many possible correct combinations. A good half of the words could easily be in several groups, so the 'correct' solution as you have it is far from unique. (2 years, 11 months ago)

noodles @ #58854: Very enjoyable :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #58835: Straight forward - an easy 10 - needs more crossovers (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace @ #58842: I can't imagine anyone spotting the cap_ group, too many levels of linguistic abstraction. Clever, I must admit, and the other groups were all perfectly doable. (2 years, 11 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #58827: some groups a bit tenuous (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fizzy @ #58774: Good for the most part. Nice Lord of the Rings crossover. Bit frustrated that it wouldn’t accept “Hound”. Maybe you could add that to the answers. Just a suggestion to avoid future frustrated puzzlers. All round pretty good though. (2 years, 11 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #58812: some good crossovers - I spelt scandal wrong to miss out on 10 (2 years, 11 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #31982: For the brothers group, they don't all contain the number 4. Forty Two contains Forty, not Four. Otherwise, not bad. (2 years, 11 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #58801: fairly easy - needs some crossovers (2 years, 11 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #58785: Easy enough - needs some crossovers (2 years, 11 months ago)

Rocinante @ #58782: That was fun, thanks. Interesting range of topics! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcolm @ #58769: Decant - answer is misspelt and clue should be decants part of skin clue should be parts for the answer to match pig answer is the wrong spelling. uninteresting answer not really a match to the clue (2 years, 11 months ago)

Shanni @ #29066: Slight bit of pedantry, but 'hung' should be 'hanged'. (2 years, 11 months ago)

barry womble @ #58769: Very enjoyable. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Thomas @ #58750: Not “hard” at all. Mostly entirely obvious, lack of herrings. (2 years, 11 months ago)

barry womble @ #58782: Really great grid, thank you. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Catcat @ #58695: Added that as an option :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tilly @ #58769: dabbling with the "H" word - whisky 😉 (2 years, 11 months ago)

Shanni @ #29309: Didn't think anythings was too obscure at all here, but I did fall into the obvious trap for the ....up line! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Thomas @ #58761: Having synonyms as a stand-alone group all ending in “ing” gives it away. Having hot in the taste group feels loose. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Thomas @ #58769: Paws pores feels very loose. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Dirtyapples @ #58777: Fair critiques for the most part Puzzle edited (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #58774: Very good, nice and easy grid. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Thomas @ #58774: Chandelier being used in body parts is v overdone. Fun wall tho. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Lise @ #58778: Fun grid! Got three of the groups but was thinking too broadly about the fourth :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Thomas @ #58777: Sonic Drive In was the only fast food place I could find online meaning “Sonics” is wrong. I dislike the “put ball on either side” style, rather than only suffix or prefix. The double letters one feels a bit lazy to just have red herrings in too. Decent first attempt otherwise. (2 years, 11 months ago)

starfairy @ #58769: Lovely dovely. Really fun to do. (Couple of typos in the answers for pig and stop lines) TY (2 years, 11 months ago)

Dirtyapples @ #58695: Good grid. I did put Astrological for the Zodiac clue and wasn't given credit. I think that should be added as a key word. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Poohbear @ #58720: Nice easy and fun grid, thank you (2 years, 11 months ago)

Rabbit @ #58756: It's all just dots?? dafuq (2 years, 11 months ago)

Rabbit @ #58764: The "neon" category is sort of awkward. Like I know those are all correct, it just feels weird to say "neon gas, neon light, neon sign, neon genesis" altogether. I'm normally terrible at these things but I solved this one super fast despite it being "fiendishly difficult" (2 years, 11 months ago)

afafasf @ #58756: Too easy. Should be beginner level. (2 years, 11 months ago)

TheGoatMan @ #58760: Funny and clever! (2 years, 11 months ago)

haywood @ #58695: great grid with clever misleading elements (2 years, 11 months ago)

MLS @ #39004: Great idea, just some obscure albums. Never heard of 6 or 7, let alone know what the covers look like. Heck, one of the albums I own a digital copy, never saw a picture of the cover. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Plod @ #58734: Very nicely crafted TY (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tilly @ #38959: If we are picky, Sound of Music was set in 1938 - and if you want to be really picky 1939 was the outbreak of war in Europe. USA entered the war Dec 1941, Russia June 1941. So we know what Glenn meant and we are not going to be picky - are we? (2 years, 11 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #58739: Crossovers ? (2 years, 11 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #58742: Good - Plenty of crossovers (2 years, 11 months ago)

SAVEBIG @ #58714: far too easy, up your game please next time. Good fun tho :3 (2 years, 11 months ago)

SF7 @ #58726: A good grid overall but falls into place - got 10/10 in less than a minute. Some nice crossovers though. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #58735: Sure is most certainly not a homophone for shore. It is a completely different vowel sound! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Aetees @ #58720: too easy due to the fact it is a rubbish grid that a 2 year old could have solved. Kindly do not make any more (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #58719: Well put together, a typo but it's obvious what's meant. I only got the Long row, had a chuckle at the PH row. You win 10-2. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Trillium @ #58717: "American football" also works for the quarters group. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Thomas @ #58643: Also I just wanted to add that I easily did it in HALF of the allotted time and that the only reason I suggested 3 minutes is because I know everyone else is far less gifted than myself. So it's for THEM! They need more than 3 minutes, not me. I did it easily within the time limit. I just wanted to clarify that. Also, selecting the rabbit every time is incredibly easy for me, is there a way I can make the animal selection for commenting more challenging? Thank you -tiny tommy (2 years, 11 months ago)

Trillium @ #58719: One typo, otherwise well done! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace @ #58689: Very poor. All seem to be about sports players, but no hint as to what sport. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace @ #58692: Good one. Not often you get a red herring of an entire potential group (fire). well done. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #58689: No idea what this is about. Poor explanations. Just a series of names. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace @ #58670: bit inconsistent, when three out of the four in a group are the start of a name and the fourth is the whole name. Oh, and you could be a bit more generous with your allowed answers, 'ton' on its own doesn't work, NY neither. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Stephan @ #58682: My answer is much more lowbrow, but Leonardo, Donatello, Michaelangelo and Raphael can also be the teenage mutant ninja turtles as well as the Italian Renaissance artists. :-) (2 years, 11 months ago)

phil dillson @ #58631: this was extremely repetitive in its reasoning, unlike the spirit of the show (2 years, 11 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #12451: Good one. Was thrown by 'Martin'. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #58683: Yes, they are all artists, but the TMNT connection is FAR stronger, as it is exclusive. There were other artists, but there were only four TMNTs. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Joanne @ #58638: The name in the dragon group is spelt wrong so doesn't award the point so you might want to change that. Nice grid otherwise! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Stephan @ #58670: This was a fun grid. However, your description of the New York Areas is inaccurate. Queens is one of the five Boroughs of New York City, therefore not a suburb, though to be fair, people frequently debate about that. But officially, it's not a suburb, but a part of New York City. The UES and Harlem are actually on the island of Manhattan, which means they are definitely not suburbs, but neigbourhoods in the city. Long Island is definitely a suburb. Great red herring with the drink Manhattan, though. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Rabbit @ #58383: It's 'citizen's arrest', not just citizen. Which is also extremely similar to 'under arrest', you clearly couldn't think of more examples. A boring grid (2 years, 11 months ago)

Langers @ #58629: Nice concept, but the Game group was a bit of a stretch! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Langers @ #58619: Very good, challenging grid. Solved it but only got 'buzzard' by a process of elimination. Never heard of a honey buzzard! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Cajun @ #58550: pre-enact is spelled with a hyphen. E Street? And maybe expand your Greek acceptable answers to include deities (2 years, 11 months ago)

TheBogeyman @ #51691: Wild animals is not a great pick: All those animals are Jungle animals too. Domestic animals are pets. Your answer categories for those two groups are too tight. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Villagio @ #28141: "solo artists" nor "fractions" accepted? (2 years, 11 months ago)

TheBogeyman @ #56720: Not bad. Once I got the first set, the others all fell into place quite easily. A good starter to a busy night :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Avenger @ #6014: "Shower" - a "social gathering"????? Wrong. Wrong on here, wrong side of the Atlantic. Just wrong. Don't try this grid. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Villagio @ #50210: Coding? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Villagio @ #30776: Thought the link was taskmaster, but didn't want to risk it. Nice grid (2 years, 11 months ago)

Rob @ #57631: That was really enjoyable, I got close but couldn't remember my constellations in time! (2 years, 11 months ago)

weegieman @ #58536: Entertaining; I presume "shark" had been amended by the time I did the grid (2 years, 11 months ago)

weegieman @ #58550: Good, the "-act" one perhaps a bit shaky (2 years, 11 months ago)

Kaphc @ #58547: Good wall, kicking myself that I didn't get the Pokemon group, but spotted the Greek letter anagrams at the last minute so it kinda evened out (2 years, 11 months ago)

weegieman @ #58414: Very good, straightforward and entertaining (2 years, 11 months ago)

barry womble @ #58543: 1966 group - tremendous. Great grid. (2 years, 11 months ago)

barry womble @ #58525: Great grid with a nice mixture, thanks for the effort! (2 years, 11 months ago)

barry womble @ #58508: Brilliant. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Gangster Gnu-o @ #58551: tree life? game life? Quite liked it otherwise. As a la italian, I understand that of life and life after words may be a hard disitinction to make, put please checc in future (2 years, 11 months ago)

barry womble @ #58414: Well deserved grid of the week. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Mel @ #55841: I got caught out by the authors and put 'female authors' which was accepted. Shouldn't really have been allowed those points! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #58400: "mothers" should be accepted - otherwise an enjoyable sifting of red herrings (2 years, 11 months ago)

LB @ #58536: There isn't shark in the options? (2 years, 11 months ago)

SF7 @ #58547: Pretty good! Have never played pokemon in my life so was never getting that but managed to spot everything else. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Wazzywoo @ #58547: Got 4/10. Fluked the last 2 groups. Struggled to find descriptions the grid accepted as correct so perhaps think a bit more what could do in the answers box, but I know it's difficult to catch everything. Enjoyed the grid. (2 years, 11 months ago)

zenster @ #58547: Rubbish (2 years, 11 months ago)

quodlibet @ #58544: Liked it, even though I missed the earrings. (it's spelled "cartilage", by the way.) (2 years, 11 months ago)

RMP @ #58544: Something is wrong with the Crunch row. Also Cartilage is spelled wrong (which meant I wasted a lot of time thinking it was a surname). (2 years, 11 months ago)

SF7 @ #58536: Never heard of the shark as a chaser unless it's in a different country? Also literally typed in space and it didn't accept that? Didn't accept fictional for the other group - maybe need to update a few things. (2 years, 11 months ago)

SF7 @ #58544: Managed to get most of it but the candy round is lost on Non-Americans. Not a criticism - just an observation! (2 years, 11 months ago)

RMP @ #58545: Pointlessly niche. And the word that is niche about is not even accepted as the answer. Waste of time. (2 years, 11 months ago)

SF7 @ #58543: Easy enough to find the groupings but one group can also be saints instead of beatles so grid doesn't really work for me. (2 years, 11 months ago)

SF7 @ #58545: Categories are far too similar. Complete waste of time if you don't like rugby... You need to vary the groups a bit. 1 star for me. (2 years, 11 months ago)

SF7 @ #58539: Disagree with kitkat - I think it's a nice spin on other grids so well done for that. Managed to get 5/10 as being from Scotland my English geography is lacking! But I think it was a good idea - the knowledge is varied but brings you back to a common theme within the answers so kitkat is way off the mark for me. Nicely done. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Aetees @ #58540: @TopyandTim; you are quite right. Corrected with apologies. (2 years, 11 months ago)

TopsyandTim @ #58540: It's called Night Boat to Cairo - otherwise enjoyable. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Kitkat @ #58539: These grids should cover a wide range of general knowledge and common knowledge. This one is way, way too obscure. Please watch "Only Connect" (2 years, 11 months ago)

Myriad @ #58475: C is sometimes used in musical notation as a substitute for 4/4, often called "common time" I also got 6/10 but very nearly figured it out. Got all the links though. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nathan @ #58508: That Limerick clue was really tricky. (2 years, 11 months ago)

SM @ #58414: Great grid (2 years, 11 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #58519: Including the British spelling of tire/tyre would be nice - this whole site is inspired by a round on a British show, after all! (2 years, 11 months ago)

WSR & SKB @ #58533: @Matty Mungbean, thank you for your comment! Both Reah and Rea are found as acceptable spellings. We hope you still enjoyed the grid! Best (2 years, 11 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #58533: Mother of Romulus and Remus Reah, so Reah was excepted (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace @ #58530: Terrible. One might forgive the niche aspect of two of the groups, but please take a look at a map of France. As for the other two, I'm sure you made some of them up. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace @ #58531: Nice. Perhaps expand the building answers a bit - they're not only found in towns and cities. (2 years, 11 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #58519: Thank you - good fun but please allow 'tyre' for us Brits! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ade @ #58500: Very clever. And also enjoyable so V stars from me. Thank you (2 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #58483: Very good, intelligent grid. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Mathelstan @ #58484: Interested to know which you think are obscure. Can see one of the fire category being trickier, but otherwise think they’re fairly standard. (2 years, 11 months ago)

haywood @ #58490: pretty good, nice and easy (2 years, 11 months ago)

bigz @ #58177: Three very well made groups. Homophones were reallly ridiculous. As to yve, it's easy to talk 80 years down the line. Why, if you are going to editorialize, did you omit LeClerc? Or the soldiers that accompanied them? May as well add Sikorski and PIlsudski, who, in your view of history, should have just stayed put, undermanned and underequipped against the foe/foes and be slaughtered along with their troops. You are a total idiot without any historic perspective or grasp of the reality of the history. The work the governments and military in exile were essential in bringing down Germany by being in safe havens and receiving the intelligence, disseminating it for analysis, and getting the job done. You're a moron. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #58477: An "empire" in a fairly obscure spot, which lasted for less than 16 years, nearly 500 years ago? Did you seriously expect anyone to actually get that? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #58446: Obscure nicknames is bad enough, but then going for anagrams of those obscure nicknames? Good grief! A tad niche maybe? Speaking of niche: meadow hall???? Perhaps you would consider instead writing a wall for the vast majority of people who every night thank their stars they do not live in Sheffied? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Thomas @ #58440: Far too restricted for needed knowledge, interesting red herring attempts though. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Thomas @ #58446: Meadowhall is too esoteric, not a fan of Marshall either. Anagrams of football team names also feels way too messy. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Thomas @ #58443: As mentioned; it’s Duct tape, not duck, minute mile using a thing alone and curry mile is very esoteric and colloquial. I’ve also never heard of a “skip yard”. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #58444: I liked the queen red herring. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #58443: Not duck but DUCT. The term originates because the tape was used for sealing duct connections. Skip yard? Minute Mile? If you are thinking of the term "four minute mile" then the "four" is a key part of that concept, so by itself, "minute mile" is meaningless. Curry mile? Is this some term local to you?

Thomas @ #58423: This is all a bit of a mess. You made 3 groups in an attempted cryptic format which hands out one group instantly. Without anything else to go on cryptic doesn’t work by itself, especially with a time limit. Normally there’s the letter count, eventually other letters to work from etc but none of that here.

Nighteyes @ #58316: The word "Oxford" in this case is redundant, because all the others are simply punctuation marks, so "comma" would have fit with the group. An oxford comma is indistinguishable in its shape from any other comma - it is only its position which is significant. That does not apply to the other three. As for your "In" etc. group, "dict" alone also works. In fact, it works better, because "indiction" is a decidedly archaic term, whereas indict is in common usage. Re "sand": did you mean "grit"? That would work, but sand does not mean that. The nearest I can find is MW includes an obscure definition meaning "firm resolution", which is close but no cigar. Concerning the "run" group, please avoid such ridiculously niche entries. (2 years, 11 months ago)

JB @ #58320: The Euros (football) also happened in 2021, 2016 etc. Also what is the connection for the 1066 group. You've just wrote what happened in those years, how are they linked? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #58317: Ditto. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Thomas @ #28959: This has more red herrings than the ocean! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Thomas @ #58316: I don’t like the use of abandoned words like “bene” and somewhat “pre”, although looking into the other answers I see it was for a vampire Weekend red herring with Contra… I band I knew nothing about 😅 Also Oxford Comma is just a rule about the use of a comma, it’s not a separate punctuation piece, I’d change that.

Freddgar @ #58275: Good one, but allow homophones. After that one is solved, the rest fall into place. Other than that a solid grid. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #58276: Good grid, I failed miserably. Showed up my show biz ignorance no end. Couldn't solve the wall, or find two connections because of it 🤔🙄 Maybe allow synonyms. You win 10-3 😯 Thanks for posting (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #58251: Excellent grid. Best I have seen for ages. Even the easy line was made difficult because of the number of them. With a bad grid, when you see the answer, the reaction is, "well, how is anyone expected to know that?". With this one, the groups I failed to get provoked a reaction of, "Hmm, nice. I should have spotted that." Keyboard and countries were particularly sneaky. Very well done. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Thomas @ #58218: It’s cotton eye not eyed, the addition isn’t well formed either. Your answer changed for Once, but left the same answer reasoning and it doesn’t work well especially as three are “once in a”, one not winning best picture meaning just randomly movies.. this one is a write off sadly.

Freddgar @ #58255: Good grid, but agree with Thomas, allow homophone. Apart from that, well done, liked the Blue row (didn't get that one) You win 10-7 Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Thomas @ #58255: The word “homophone” needs to be acceptable not just “sounds similar” ;3 (2 years, 11 months ago)

Robert Dukowski @ #50362: I remember Woodstock back in 1969. I was high as a kite listening to such hits as you've listed in this puzzle. POOKMAN6, this one brought me to genuine tears reliving the greatest years of my storied youth. You've done a lot to make an old coot like me happy. It takes someone truly amazing to recognize someone amazing and you my friend are AMAZING. Stay safe in these PUZZLEing times, Bobby D. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tom Petty @ #50362: POOKMAN6 had a stroke of artistic genius with this puzzle. My wife and I loved this one so much we blasted it out by email to all of our friends (they're puzzleheads too :)) That being said, for your next foray into music related puzzlery, I'd really appreciate if you included some of my songs. Album sales have been steadily declining for a couple of decades and I think this is just the thing that can boost my social media presence. My PR agent said puzzgrid is the perfect place to start. With love and the utmost respect, Tom (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tom Petty @ #55486: freddgar said it's easy but I struggled severely with this puzzle. is there something wrong with me? I had to refresh the page several times to ensure I could complete the puzzle. Just when I finally got it after my 15th minute, the real struggle began. It took me 90 minutes to find the connection between the groups I had stumbled to put together. Like I said, I struggled with this a lot. Freddgar said the problem lied between my headphone earcups, but I'm not sure what that meant. He's smarter than I am so I believe him.

Nighteyes @ #57708: Excellent grid. A bit too easy to be perfect, but very good anyway. (2 years, 11 months ago)

RMP @ #58123: What on earth is "Ice Cram" meant to be? Please correct. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #58122: Sweet and wizard work. Mud is ok except for the feet, which is a song by them, not a reference TO mud. As for the last group, it would have been more consistent and satisfying if it had been a reference to one single group as well. But even if you don't do that, then you should at least specify in the answers what the cryptic references are to. So, king of lizards and american knife? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Thunder @ #58123: Absolutely beautiful puzzle. Would appreciate a spelling correction. I was trying to figure out for like the first third of the puzzle why "Ice Cram" didn't have that "e" in it. Beauty of a puzzle though. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Gangster Gnu-o @ #33026: Unlike certain fools in this thread, I, an intelectual La Italian gangster, can recognise what a red herring is. Well done! However, I personally think more leniency could be given with the connections on the small group. Good wall overall (2 years, 11 months ago)

Gangster Gnu-o @ #58098: Im gangster gnu-o. I may be a la italian gangster but I do enjoy a good wall. And let me tell you, this was a good wall. :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Thunder @ #58032: Correction: these are not all of the names of sports teams from Minnesota, even professional teams. Minnesota United FC would come to mind. For that one, you could have put "United" or "Loons". That's me being very picky. Good puzzle. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #58031: Yeah this was a good one (tho no clue natch on the so what group). (2 years, 12 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #58014: Thanks for setting. It's fine but i set a grid with 3 of these groups in several months ago. This happens all the time I suspect. Mine had an "on the...." group for Button which gave "Go" as a bonus herring, which I was quite pleased with (2 years, 12 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #58039: MORTAL WOMBAT was on the show of course. I managed to solve this with zero wrong guesses despite not knowing what 2 of the groups were and having an incomplete picture of the third.... this is probably not a good sign. I think some of these were good groups but maybe they did not belong together. This probably means i am old and curmudgeonly. Perhaps i should add drunk to this list (2 years, 12 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #58061: Yep. Clean but straightforward. Light bodied but drinkable. Pairs well with a light starter. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Stop commenting about your own grids @ #57115: Weirdo. (2 years, 12 months ago)

SF7 @ #58044: Too easy - no crossover between groups of red herrings (2 years, 12 months ago)

SF7 @ #58037: Personally - I think if you're going to do groups like Ex- or ___ son the parts of the group should all be the same. So for example, First born son and Simpson are different because the first one it's a separate word and the second one it's part of the word. Same with ex-girlfriend and exorcism etc. Maybe that's just me, but just makes it more consistent within the group. (2 years, 12 months ago)

SF7 @ #58038: Really good - didn't accept 'force' for the final group would be my only change! Nicely done (2 years, 12 months ago)

Winston @ #57866: "gear" was a solid red herring, enjoyable amount of subterfuge. 5/5 (2 years, 12 months ago)

James @ #57865: Enjoyed this fairly straightforward grid. I hope that was an intentional Athletico Mince themed red herring! (2 years, 12 months ago)

catty @ #57833: Thanks for the comments. Glad you liked the grid. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Rocinante @ #57833: Nice one, thanks. I could see the connections but couldn’t wade through the crossovers for two groups in time! (2 years, 12 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #57808: Struggled but got the connections except the naw/nee etc. This can also be homophones, I think. Thank you! (2 years, 12 months ago)

Malcontent @ #57833: That was fun. Was lucky to pick the right 2 groups to start with, so solved it in under 45 seconds and didn't appreciate the redherrings until afterwards. Had to stare at the Jeff Ridgeley line for a while, to see that last connection, but I got there in the end. Very nice, thank you! (2 years, 12 months ago)

dgms @ #57849: I enjoyed that. It wasn't too cryptic or obscure, but I still had to think. I solved the wall fairly quickly, once I'd discarded the rude (was that a deliberate red herring?) group/link, which made me laugh. The Fist line was the first I solved, and I didn't get the whole link as shown in the answer, but I still got the point for one word connection I gave. The rest fell into place fairly fast after that. Very nice. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Meryl and Beryl @ #49709: Cool quiz man!!! (2 years, 12 months ago)

tiger king @ #57760: Your word clues were difficult because the common words came before and after the clues. It is better if you can be consistent and only resort to that when necessary or the clues are very unique. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Ace @ #57405: @bigz, guitars can be nylon-stringed or steel-stringed, so it's a perfectly valid and not uncommon term. As a clue it made it a bit transparent, perhaps, but not in any way confusing to anyone that knows about guitars. (3 years ago)

Mr Picky @ #57586: Changing N to M would make things a bit tighter. M is a base unit (like the other 3 in the group) and N is a derived unit. (3 years ago)

I didn't spot the incorrectly attributed flag, as I didn't actually get the group, but perhaps if it had been correct I might have. In 'n' out is, I believe, a drive-through burger chain. No way I'd have got that group either though, not till after the event. (3 years ago)

Andrew White @ #57574: Safari zone in Pokemon was a bit niche as all others are well known terms (3 years ago)

Andrew White @ #57578: Not sure about nutmeg pass (3 years ago)

Krista @ #57477: I`m a hobby gardener & I never heard of a HaHa before-had to look it up to believe you!! (3 years ago)

Krista @ #57497: Ah! I saw through the spelling mistake but then didn`t know the confectionary-is it American confectionary? Opal(fruits) is the only one I`ve heard of (3 years ago)

supertailz @ #57505: surprise should have counted for shock, and i think frown for dismay (3 years ago)

supertailz @ #57507: Please accept money as well as coins! Otherwise great board (3 years ago)

Krista @ #57576: Fun but easy. You took the `Only connect`no vowels round and made a grid out of it! Now squidge the words up -Only Connect puts all the gaps in the wrong places too-that`ll make it harder. (3 years ago)

RMP @ #57590: Bit too American. I think you chose the wrong flag. (3 years ago)

supertailz @ #57134: Good board, ditto on the need to take either just the word "synonym" or synonyms for decrease (I used diminish because that was staring me in the face:) (3 years ago)

bloss @ #57562: So good! Took me ages to get Noah for some reason. Isn't Cain the answer though, rather than Abel? (3 years ago)

bloss @ #57572: Great grid! Did you miss a 'the' in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly? (3 years ago)

Truth @ #57473: Boringly easy :( (3 years ago)

David @ #7234: There's no such language as Indian, it's Hindi. Also Didn't accept prize draws? (3 years ago)

Krista @ #57585: Do you really mean Albums OWNED by Tay;lor Smith?? If so that`s REALLY NICHE information! I looked it up-it doesn`t seem to be Albums she recorded? (3 years ago)

bigz @ #57562: Solitary has it right. Answer should be Cain (3 years ago)

bigz @ #57559: Fire group made no sense at all to me. Must be niche, as suggested already. (3 years ago)

bigz @ #57554: Nice job. 7 out of 8 you can ad -er and get a word. You got me. Ran out of lives trying to get the fit. (3 years ago)

Hal Jam @ #57552: Not unique. (3 years ago)

Lima @ #57576: What a twit! Thanks (3 years ago)

Miss Slink @ #57545: Nice mix of topics, and nothing too obscure. Good job! (3 years ago)

CD @ #57580: awesome grid - 10/10 just! (3 years ago)

Miss Slink @ #57559: "Onix" should be spelled onyx - I thought the spelling was a red herring and so was avoiding putting it in the rock group. Not sure what "one trick" means either. Not many clues that can fit into multiple groups either. Hopefully your next grid will be better. (3 years ago)

Commenter @ #57576: You left a vowel in one of the squares (3 years ago)

Ace @ #57535: "Revolver is not a song." Technically, neither is Flying. 'Recording' would cover them all though. (3 years ago)

Ace @ #57559: Presumably the 'fire' group has something to do with Pokemon? (3 years ago)

Allie @ #57525: Liked it! Thank you! (3 years ago)

Jmelb @ #57562: Interesting difference, must be a change of gridders, this was 5*s the first time around. (3 years ago)

Plod @ #57552: haha, cheeky of me Freddgar : ) (3 years ago)

malcom @ #57544: marked 'Jeremies' incorrect and answer given as 'Jeremy's'. Adding apostrophe + s is not how to make plurals (3 years ago)

Jimdas @ #57511: Top banana grid this. Really enjoyed. Confetts :) (3 years ago)

Freddgar @ #57552: Well put together. I solved the wall, failed on the Nutter row, put mad 🙄 Failed on the Sean Lock row, you rascal you !! You win 10 - 6 Thanks for posting. (3 years ago)

Pseudicat @ #57551: Fun, thanks! Happy that my knowledge of designers came in handy too, managed to get those straight away but loved that there was a suit in each category as a red herring. Embarrassingly forgot that sweet william was a thing but the rest came quite quickly (3 years ago)

Jmelb @ #57572: Very enjoyable thanks stjohn. (3 years ago)

misof @ #53706: Could have been better. Magic square, Red Cross and Celtic circle all exist (and are prominent enough to have pages on the English Wikipedia) so the solution isn't unique. OTOH, "hot cross" alone isn't a thing, were you thinking of a hot cross bun? (3 years ago)

Jmelb @ #57534: Couple of hard ones there, TY (3 years ago)

Jmelb @ #57524: Didn't know about the twist line but the others were a pleasure TY! (3 years ago)

Jmelb @ #57537: Fair enough with the poetic licence but you may want to put Cybill Shepherd? TY (3 years ago)

Jmelb @ #57476: Got me with satiety line. I would never have noticed! TY ps Malcontent is right about The Seagull, I remember watching it (3 years ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #57532: I've got to give you a HAND totally missed it. (3 years ago)

Catty @ #57531: SPOILERS!! Three start or end with the same word and the other is a film title. I don't know what you could type in that wouldn't work but still be right. (3 years ago)

Georgia @ #57531: Good wall, I knew three of the groups but so many red herrings I didn't actually get them in time! Frustratingly fun haha. The second group said my answer was wrong but it wasn't, you might want to edit the linking terms :) thanks! (3 years ago)

Nighteyes @ #57528: And more blasted gladiators! (3 years ago)

Catty @ #57528: If in doubt, say Pokemon. (3 years ago)

Ace @ #57512: Good one, too hard for me (3 years ago)

Ace @ #57521: Not bad at all Seems to work fine now, apart from the aforementioned spelling mistake (3 years ago)

Ace @ #57517: Ok, the Greek set was good, the brolly OK, but the wrestling ridiculously niche and I've still no idea what the subscription services are all about, never heard of any of them. Something to do with video games? (3 years ago)

Ace @ #57521: Not hear at all Seems to work ok now, apart from the aforementioned spelling mistake (3 years ago)

Ace @ #57528: Grrrr, more pokymon. (3 years ago)

Ace @ #57519: All quite clever, apart from the pokemons (3 years ago)

RMP @ #57522: 1 is not normally considered to belong in the group you have put it in. Very easy to solve, links very challenging. (3 years ago)

RMP @ #57525: That was fun! (3 years ago)

bigz @ #57299: And I thought Pokemon grids were niche....... Why not find Japanese characters and throw them out at the masses? You win the award for the worst grid I have yet to see on this site. For the record, I solved it in less than a minute and I haven't taken a Spanish class in 55 years. (3 years ago)

Tim @ #57498: Parts of a graph should also allow chart as a connection. (3 years ago)

riahi @ #57487: well crafteda and tricky! (3 years ago)

riahi @ #57460: nice twist but fun to solve (3 years ago)

riahi @ #57512: very tricky! (3 years ago)

Gridlington @ #57474: Very good! (3 years ago)

Lindybeige @ #57513: 'Wax' does not mean 'speak' - it is the opposite of 'wane', but there is the common expression 'to wax lyrical' - where 'lyrical' is the word implying speech. It's a bit like mistaking 'very' to mean 'clever' because of the construction 'very intelligent'. (3 years ago)

Gridlington @ #57511: Very good. 15 seconds to spare! Once I eventually got the Wii one, the rest followed reasonably quickly (3 years ago)

Ruth @ #57490: Great grid - the cryptic clues added an extra level of challenge (3 years ago)

Gincal @ #21280: Easy, to the point, and accessible to international players. (3 years ago)

Tim Fjelner Collins @ #49018: U r so bad at m,akiong grids ;:))) (3 years ago)

Lindybeige @ #57480: The moods is a poor category. Very easy to guess the group, but almost impossible to guess the link. (3 years ago)

Lindybeige @ #57487: Eye, romance, line, china, young cannibals, times, dining, and art all belong to one category, and guess what - I tried every combination of four of them except the one needed. (3 years ago)

Lindybeige @ #57493: 'Wave' works as well. (3 years ago)

kondja mia @ #57486: I put "computing" for the relevant group which comes up as incorrect. I'd always put "comput" instead of "computer" into the recognised answers when designing the grid to cover stuff like that. Nice grid. (3 years ago)

Avenger @ #6198: Since when does "Walls" not work for "famous walls" - Not impressed by the batman clue either. This grid belongs in the one star category. (3 years ago)

Avenger @ #6188: Since when does "Tudor Monarchs" not work for ..... "Tudor Monarchs". Get a grip Ron - sort it out! (3 years ago)

kondja mia @ #57492: hard but educational (3 years ago)

Malcontent @ #57476: The Seagull isn't a novel. It's a play. (3 years ago)

David @ #6673: cities not accepted? (3 years ago)

Gridlington @ #57487: Ran out of time, but I'd finally sussed them out! Very good! (3 years ago)

Anne Withers @ #12552: The last line are homophones (they sound the same), not homonyms (they mean the same) HTH (3 years ago)

Nighteyes @ #57474: Good wall. (3 years ago)

bigz @ #57145: Video game etc references are way too niche for general consumption. They are only for very limited audiences and otherwise are hopelessly obscure. Solving that grid takes pure luck for the vast majority. (3 years ago)

bigz @ #57129: Tough if you leave the birds 'til the last 2. Chrsitmas geese are as valid, if not more so, than the partridge, but I think that's a regional thing. There are 2 L's in Russell. (3 years ago)

Ace @ #57330: Nice one. Thanks for not insisting on the 'Modal', couldn't remember the word. (3 years ago)

xandre @ #57370: Not good (3 years ago)

JerseySusanna @ #57359: Liked the idea but couldn't see crossovers. Didn't accept mushroom, ungulates, physics or snowman. (3 years ago)

Midge @ #57370: Really nice wall. Nice range of different kinds of word links. (3 years ago)

Anon @ #57359: The connections need incredibly specific phrasing to be marked correct. For example, 'snowman accessories' was not accepted, nor was 'energy forms'. It is possible to be more generous? (3 years ago)

Malcontent @ #57360: No fun at all for me. Nothing about the birds themselves, or anything cryptic/hidden. Two groups based on specific comic publishers, which I found impossible to separate, and two groups on sports, in which I have less than no interest. (3 years ago)

Malcontent @ #57346: No idea what Steven Universe is, but they're also all gems, so I'll have the point anyway. Are there no characters in it that aren't named after gems? If there are, swap one of them in if you want the very narrow and specific link to be valid. (3 years ago)

DoubleHappy @ #57078: Damn, I thought she was called Skunk :D Fun grid cheers (3 years ago)

Ace @ #57359: Yes, as MK says, the milk connection isn't really right - animals farmed for their milk would work better (or ungulates, which is what I put). Other correct answers also seem to be missing - I tried mushroom and wave in the singular which weren't accepted, and snowman also wasn't allowed on its own. (3 years ago)

MK @ #57359: I wrote "hoofed animals" which I feel is a more specific answer than what was listed. Mammals in general make milk, but these were actually a subcategory of mammals called even toed ungulates, known for hooves that stand on two toes. (3 years ago)

Freddgar @ #57357: Very good, failed to solve the wall. Only got two rows, good set of red herrings. Used the 3 lives. You win 10 - 6. Thanks for posting. (3 years ago)

Nighteyes @ #57346: Steven universe? A tad niche maybe? (3 years ago)

Malcontent @ #57341: Some good ideas,but I'm afraid it doesn't work as a wall. SPOILER - Conjuring can be swapped with Hereditary, or any others in that line, as Con is also a boy's name, and they're all horror films,so the wall has at least five equally valid solutions, which isn't supposed to happen. (3 years ago)

Usurper @ #57324: @ Langers - I originally put impotent instead of portentous, because it was funnier in that group, but then thought portentous was a good redherring (not) to go with Forboding. I was very pleased with Lightwater. (3 years ago)

Louise Sutherland @ #48660: very nice puzzle :) (3 years ago)

Malcontent @ #57308: Nice ideas but Peter (there two Peters that fit the link in the Lucy group) can swap with Lucy, so there are at least two valid solutions. (3 years ago)

Malcontent @ #57307: @ Langers. I spotted her group first, and she was the second answer I saw for that group - I watched 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes' a lot during lockdown. The 'not Toilet' group was the second I got. (3 years ago)

Est289 @ #57324: That was tricky! I liked it! (3 years ago)

Cow @ #57315: Horatio- I would like to address your comment with deep compassion but I have only had four drinks this morning and am only a second cousin to Steve. Thanks so much for addressing cow with respect. (3 years ago)

Horatio @ #57315: Cow is clearly a close relative or drunk - awful grid, definitions too narrow, very unsatisfying (3 years ago)

Langers @ #57306: Good fun grid! (3 years ago)

Langers @ #57314: The calling bird group is a bit of a stretch! (3 years ago)

Cow @ #57315: This was the best grid I have ever played, really inspirational. Thank you, I will continue my day with a leap in my step. (3 years ago)

Malcontent @ #57213: I don't understand this. (3 years ago)

Dot @ #57146: Excellent fun - and stretching enough to make it stressful (for me anyway) I only got one row in the time - which says more about me than the quiz! (3 years ago)

Malcontent @ #57194: Nice. Took ages to spot the tic tac line. Thanks (3 years ago)

Malcontent @ #54950: Shame it didn't accept like and dislike for the positive and negative opinions groups. I'd have got 10 then, even though I know no Spanish at all. Terrible grid. (3 years ago)

Tom @ #57274: No it isn't Mr Libido, red herrings are fine but there should only be one possible correct answer (3 years ago)

Malcontent @ #48977: Scored five, though I've literally never learned a word of Spanish, just made two groups from things with similar word endings, and one group from the shortest words, then guessed that was past tenses. Two groups where you have to specify that they're from school rules? This is pointless (3 years ago)

Malcontent @ #57250: I managed ten. Ashamed to say I got the most 'highbrow' connection by guesswork - knew three, but never heard of Rocking. (3 years ago)

Malcontent @ #57307: Good, but too 'wordy'. I liked the group that looked as though it was all slang words for toilet. (3 years ago)

Tom @ #12138: This one defeated me. Hard but very well constructed, full of red herrings. (3 years ago)

Ace @ #57249: Sorry, more explanations added. (3 years ago)

Lindybeige @ #57210: I got two of the groups, which then effectively gave me the other two. One of your elements was a little skewed in that it isn't the gas but the motion of it that is normally named. (3 years ago)

yosserh @ #57249: I think you got too involved in your own "red herrings" which I had to study long and hard afterwards to "see" e.g. moon and king. This has the makings of a good grid, but unfortunately it did not work very well. (3 years ago)

Dogma @ #57190: Great grid. The synonym group was really hard - didn't get the link word, but got points for 'synonym' - which felt like I cheated. (3 years ago)

Est289 @ #57245: That was brilliant! Well thought out! (3 years ago)

dgms @ #57183: This started off really well, with good lines, but the other two spoilt it for me. On the bright side, I don't feel annoyed with myself for not seeing those two links, even when the groups were sorted out for me. (3 years ago)

Est289 @ #57246: Great grid! (3 years ago)

chanale @ #57178: I am editing to change out "dame" for something that fits better and to add "titles" as an answer! I didn't intend it to be "words in other words" so much as "words that are still words without the first letter" so I didn't think about that TBH. (3 years ago)

John @ #57213: I still have no idea what connects these - I'm guessing they are based around sports teams of sorts but the answers don't tell me what connects them... as places or (if they are sports teams) who connects the teams... (3 years ago)

Roberta @ #57170: There's definitely at least one example here of the setter attempting to use a trivia question that absolutely does not work in this context. (3 years ago)

Stephen Toyshop @ #56885: I agree with Mack, take note of where the setter is from and be mindful that you might not understand fully some of the clues. I enjoy doing some of the foreign grids as I know I might not get 10/10 but I might learn something new. (3 years ago)

Gangster Gnu-o @ #57205: Good effort, but too North American for me, notourious la Italian Gangster Gnu-o (3 years ago)

a_redo @ #57178: okay grid. should really accept 'titles' for the "nobility" category. generally when a category is 'words within other words' like the S category here the words are connected in some way so don't love that one but otherwise pretty solid (3 years ago)

Nighteyes @ #57197: Bristol etc. are no doubt connected in many ways. For example, they all host Russel group universities. Not a good group. (3 years ago)

RMP @ #57167: Title is incorrect. Happy not Merry. (3 years ago)

RMP @ #57178: Esquire has nothing to do with nobility / gentry. Any male person is esquire if they are pretentious enough to use it. (3 years ago)

dogma @ #57183: I've read the answers, but I just don't get how two of these groups are groups. (3 years ago)

dogma @ #57187: Fun. Tricky, but not too hard. Some obvious ones balanced out the obscure/too well hidden things. The Margot Fontenye misspelling really gave that link away. (3 years ago)

Malcontent @ #57135: Nice one. Nearly failed at this - never heard of rum with that link, but had a guess because of the others in the final (for me) line. (3 years ago)

Usurper @ #57183: Two nice lines, but not a great wall. I agree with Igor & Malcontent. (3 years ago)

Usurper @ #57187: Good one, especially Bunty, but vary it a bit with some general knowledge/straightforward links. (3 years ago)

superhans @ #57160: very enjoyable grid. thankyou! (3 years ago)

Malcontent @ #57183: @igor the spinoffs group made no sense:one homophone, one misspelling with a k instead of a c, which made it s different word which doesn't sound similar, one completely different word which doesn't quite rhyme, and one not quite homophone- too inconsistently connected to the link to make a group. In the 'charger' group, eardrums really didn't work for me - I thought the other three just about worked, but eardrums was just wrong,: (3 years ago)

Ace @ #57186: Quite clever idea, though not too difficult. But you should also allow answers that don't use the specific word, like 'time off work' 'go away' etc. (3 years ago)

Igor @ #57183: Spinoffs! Really? They are sort of, but not quite, homophones - and of a uncommon subject. Did anyone get that group? Also, charger isn't quite right - there's an 'in' missing. The other two groups are good. (3 years ago)

Ace @ #57157: Pretty sure England never had a Queen Bertha. And two of your Matildas need some explanation. Oh, and it's IWO Jima, not Iow. (3 years ago)

Malcontent @ #57183: Loved the restrain and breathing groups. The other two just didn't work/make sense - eardrums really doesn't fit with the connection, and the quarts group doesn't hang together at all. (3 years ago)

Malcontent @ #57187: Very nice ideas and neat red herrings, but all 'clever' wordplay connection s, and the grid as a whole felt messy. Loved the red herring Ninette De Valois connection, and the gran line. 7/10 (3 years ago)

Fam @ #57046: Well, no one could have predicted that! I know there’s a lot of controversy re not letting all the lapped cars through but it did make for a very exciting end and to be honest I was glad as mid race it was all very inevitable and had become quite dull. To finish a final under a safety car would have been very anticlimactic. Bring on 2022 and more close racing! I’m going to try to see a race in person next year. Have you ever attended? (3 years ago)

Freddgar @ #57164: Very good, one nitpick. Holland isn't a country it's The Netherlands, but that would have spoiled the red herring. Well done. Thanks for posting (3 years ago)

Ruth @ #57164: You've spelt Hiddleston wrong - there's no 'e' on the end, so I missed that connection. Other than that there were some good red herrings. (3 years ago)

Nighteyes @ #57136: Good 4*. Would have been 5* except for jude B. Good grids should be based on general knowledge, not obscure sporting trivia. I only got ten by assuming the reference was not to Linda, when all other options had been exhausted. (3 years ago)

Krista @ #57022: And Granny is NOT an Apple.Granny Smith is an Apple. Hiding it`s cheating. I might well have been alerted to that group if that name had been correct. Spoiled a good grid with easy mistakes.Soz. (3 years ago)

bigz @ #56909: Another correct answer for your flag colour group would be that they are all landlocked countries. That's what I went by and solved the grid. (3 years ago)

bigz @ #56898: Try Shot instead of host. It wauld be totally consistent. (3 years ago)

Krista @ #57031: I laughed at the duplicate when I realised! :-D (3 years ago)

Krista @ #57082: Agree with deez! Bit too easy for a `medium` really.But hey it`s good to 10/10!! (3 years ago)

Krista @ #57102: Ok but Jesus birth is often called the Nativity and Heavenly bodies is a little more specific than astronomy-so I got 10/10 (3 years ago)

Krista @ #57130: Easy for pop music lovers! (3 years ago)

Krista @ #57137: Mustelids must be noteed correct as well as weasels!! (3 years ago)

Krista @ #57146: It`s NOT easy because there are so many cross-overs and as Robin says more than one solution. And also ways of expressing the names of the groups. (3 years ago)

RBR45 @ #57137: good grid - very easy but needs answer to be correct so accepts plurals (3 years ago)

stjohn @ #57130: enjoyed it both times, thankyou (3 years ago)

Patrick @ #57146: Holly and Lily are both plants, Ivy is a forename - so there's multiple correct solutions to the grid (3 years ago)

Maggie @ #57146: Looking at this again I think I should have made it very easy rather than easy but can't see how to edit that part! (3 years ago)

Freddgar @ #57130: Very good grid. Nice and straightforward. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (3 years ago)

paul @ #57130: Nice. Except until 2:45 I just assumed it was Blame it on the Rain hahaha (3 years ago)

paul @ #57136: Excellent! TY (3 years ago)

Ace @ #57127: Nice one. Once I'd spotted how Neville and Stanley were connected it all started to fall into place. Still a few unknowns but the combinations helped. (3 years ago)

stjohn @ #57127: wowser - took three refreshers to see where you were going with this one (3 years ago)

Ace @ #57046: I didn't read any more comments until this morning, just in case. Yeah, eventful, for sure. I'm hoping that starting on the softs will make Max vulnerable later in the race, assuming that he gets away at the start. (3 years ago)

Hamburger @ #57134: Easy, good. (3 years ago)

Jmelb @ #57130: * from the archives (3 years ago)

Midge @ #57072: @Matt, no there aren't. The answer is quite carefully worded because of that.It doesn't say 'add mouth to make a town', it says '...rivers with towns named after them at their mouth.' Not sure how that implies there'd be two M's in Plymouth. I can only assume you've not looked at the actual answer and just want to make yourself feel better after scoring badly on an easy grid.

Baron @ #57075: @nighteyes - if you have a look at thesaurus.com and Merriam Webster, both have ‘gall’ as a synonym for bug (as in the verb to annoy). A bug can also be a device planted on someone to track them. It can also mean a type of virus and an insect. Bug has multiple definitions, hence the challenging group. (3 years ago)

Jmelb @ #57099: Terrific, loved it! TY (3 years ago)

Fam @ #57078: Thanks. Got two, missed two. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #57046: Ace, you must have seen the highlights now. What do you think? At least we’ll all be watching it live now. Can’t wait! (3 years ago)

Hamburger @ #57112: The idea is good but too many crossovers (3 years ago)

DanieleManieleBaniele @ #57101: Another EXCELLENT puzzle from my favourite puzzgridder! How does DannyManny do it!? Surely the most comprehensible puzzle on this site with clear descriptions of each category. Every day I wake up and thank my lucky stars that I live in the era of DannyManny, truly the Albert Einstein of his time! What a rush!! (3 years ago)

onefromthemodem @ #57078: Very enjoyable (3 years ago)

Ant @ #57078: Fantastic, thank you! :D (3 years ago)

Dave @ #57096: Enjoyed the grid, ta. I would only say that someone who plays football is more commonly known as a footballer. Rugby, tennis or snooker could be valid replacements. (3 years ago)

Loin El Richie @ #57078: Thrilling. (3 years ago)

Aetees @ #57078: One of the best I have played for a while. (3 years ago)

Nighteyes @ #57074: Hmm, interesting. In my previous comment, I wrote ape does not equal monkey, using symbols, but it has chosen not to display the symbols. (3 years ago)

Nighteyes @ #57074: Apemonkey. (3 years ago)

Nighteyes @ #57075: Gall does not equate to bug in any way. Tracker is in the same category as bug, but not the same. (3 years ago)

Nighteyes @ #57078: Different, but easy when you get the hang of it. Extra time not needed. (3 years ago)

Nighteyes @ #57096: A nice, easy ten. (3 years ago)

Ace @ #57095: Tbh I was quite pleased not to get any of them. Obviously lots of radio hosts , but I wouldn't watch any of the shows if you paid me (3 years ago)

stjohn @ #57046: No worries Ace.. no spoiler alerts, Sit and enjoy, Fam, I confidently predict that after the race we will all be saying "WOW"! (3 years ago)

DannyManny @ #57068: @james Ha RED herrings (3 years ago)

Rocinante @ #57078: Fun! Great work, thank you. (3 years ago)

bigz @ #56886: Trapezoid. Trapezium is a wrist bone. Trapezius is a shoulder muscle. The shape should be trapezoid. (3 years ago)

bigz @ #56880: You were fine before you went T Rex. That' group is asking way too much of anyone. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #57046: Sorry to anyone else also. St John, how are we going to discuss without ruining it for anyone else 😬 (3 years ago)

Fam @ #57046: REALLY sorry Ace ( that is a genuine apology ). I sent that before I saw your comment. I haven't got a sky package either but was too impatient to wait for the ch4 highlights tonight so followed the free live commentary on the F1 website instead. Hopefully you stopped reading as soon as you saw the subject matter. Great that Sky are letting Ch4 show it live tomorrow. Who are you rooting for? (3 years ago)

Fam @ #57046: Haha St John, I have only just this minute finished reading the qualifying commentary on the F1 website. Aaarghh, I just don't know. I was glad Verstappen got pole though as the mix up with the tyres, and the overall mix on the starting grid with Bottas down in 6th is going to make for an interesting start and race. I think if Ham had got pole there would be a good chance he'd win and that would be boring. Should be an exciting start and first corner! Will Verstappen get away on the softs, will they tussle at the corner, will Norris keep out of the way ( I love Norris ), what strategies will come into play??!! I just hope it lasts the distance and we're kept on the edge of our seats 'til the end 🙂 (3 years ago)

Ace @ #57046: Can you take the F1 comments offline for a bit please? Some of us won't see it until later when it's on CH4. (3 years ago)

Gridlington @ #57078: Very good (3 years ago)

bigz @ #56865: Least kindergarten quality than your others. Still, not so hot. (3 years ago)

stjohn @ #57046: Fam - what do you think now? (3 years ago)

Ace @ #20805: Yes, pound is old, it goes all the way back to the roman libre. All of them are still in common use today. (3 years ago)

meme @ #57043: It is HUE, I cry! or Hew (3 years ago)

Matt @ #57072: Two M's in Plymouth are there? (3 years ago)

Rc @ #53999: Great wall, cone of the closest to the actual show I’ve seen on here (3 years ago)

dogma @ #57054: Thank you! The whole grid started with the 'Hen' line. (3 years ago)

Ace @ #57067: Nice grid rather spoilt by your Olympian group containing not even one of the original "Olympian" gods, seeming to just be random ancient Greek figures from fact and myth. (3 years ago)

Midge @ #57054: Great. Knowing the Hen link, and spotting that line first really helped. Don't know how anyone growing up without Oor Wullie etc. would solve this wall. Having the Hat and Hoo groups in one wall was evil, but excellent. 10/10 (3 years ago)

Ace @ #57069: Quite enjoyed doing one in German, but didn't like having to give the answers in German too. Isn't there an option to specify the language? (3 years ago)

stjohn @ #57046: Hi Fam - rooting for Hamilton just so he can get his 8th. Getting tyred of Max's whinging, but he is quality and ruthless, Schumacheresque, iF Hamilton gets through the first corners unscathed, then job done - but its a big IF. A must watch race - enjoy! (3 years ago)

Fam @ #57046: Hi St John, gave this one a little go as I thought it’d be rude just to message about f1 without doing a grid. Enjoyed this. Got them all apart from the ador link but you know I’m never good at the wordy ones. So, final race of the season and they’re showing it on ch4 now! Going to be exciting! Will they crash?! Who’ll win?! Who do I even want to win?! I just hope it’s a close, edge of your seat finale! (3 years ago)

Steve @ #56989: It’s all gone to the dogs 😲 (3 years ago)

stjohn @ #57040: nice knowledge J, Mr McGoohan would have been pleased (3 years ago)

Steve @ #56996: As long as it’s happy that’s the main thing (3 years ago)

Steve @ #57056: Sorry the red herrings were in overdrive on this one 🙂🙂 (3 years ago)

james @ #57068: Tough, especially one of the categories which has a very broad list of potential answers which result in too many red herrings (3 years ago)

Jmelb @ #57064: Nice flag choice (3 years ago)

Dark Knight @ #57048: The b is not actually silent, though. If it were, the word would sound differently. (3 years ago)

Dark Knight @ #57062: Awful. (3 years ago)

MK @ #57053: I feel like there must be a better way to word the caretaker group, since they're not actually opposites, but I don't know what it is. The rest of the group had needless prefixes, so caretaker threw me off. (3 years ago)

Lia Steuerwalt @ #295: Steve Carell was not part of old school, or Paul Rudd, not correct data (3 years ago)

Jmelb @ #57057: Thanks RMP (3 years ago)

m @ #56829: omelet should have worked! (3 years ago)

Mack @ #56885: I personally do not get complaints about country-specific clues. If you're playing a grid that's not from your area of the world, you should expect to encounter some unfamiliar clues from time to time. I do love it when grids have global appeal but they certainly do not all need to be that way. That said, great grid! (3 years ago)

Luke @ #28219: It doesn't take "insult" as the correct answer for the "make fun of" category. (3 years ago)

Moondog @ #57054: I thought I saw so many possible connections with geographical features and ancient languages like Anglo Saxon, but you burst my bubble with your so logical answers. Well done, a truly diabolical grid, but one I might possibly have solved (if I was a genius) as none of these groups are actually outside my knowledge. You have my true respect. (3 years ago)

Nighteyes @ #57015: Amalgam is also spelled incorrectly. (3 years ago)

Moondog @ #57056: You sent me completely the wrong direction on the Wonka group. Nice difficult clues. I could have got it but totally missed it and that's on me. (3 years ago)

Baron @ #57045: I really hope chuck was a deliberate red herring for the market group (3 years ago)

Urutsini @ #42675: Best to avoid using the same style of linking. And try to include more overlap/red herrings (3 years ago)

Avenger @ #5907: Tut tut must try harder. Inadequate. (3 years ago)

General Eisenhower @ #57019: Isn't it the NATO alphabet? Otherwise a good wall. (3 years ago)

Kaphc @ #57051: @Dark Knight - never thought of that! In my head they are deffo chocolates not sweets. But I've added it in (3 years ago)

David @ #1436: Pirate but not Captain? (3 years ago)

Kaphc @ #57046: 6/10, I really liked the ador group although that was the one I didn't get! (3 years ago)

Hamburger @ #57040: Nice easy one, cheers. (3 years ago)

NichKnack @ #57041: I actually really liked this one. I started by thinking "wtf, why don't I know so many of these words? Darn trivia-heavy puzzles". My fault for assuming they were all real words. (3 years ago)

Ace @ #57036: Nice effort. Made more difficult by having just names, so even if you correctly guess at one or more groupings there's a fair chance you won't know them all. (3 years ago)

Ace @ #56885: @NichKnack, I wouldn't worry about it. As you say, there are tons of country-specific references in lots of grids. Yes, dinner roll as a term is specifically American, but I've certainly come across it on TV or movies, so it's not exactly an uncommon term, and could easily be inferred from the context even if you don't know it/ (3 years ago)

RBR45 @ #57041: Good grid 10/10 (3 years ago)

NichKnack @ #56881: This entire puzzle exists because I thought of the sun category and it made me smile, I'm glad you enjoyed! (3 years ago)

NichKnack @ #56885: The reason I decided to do the insurance category was because I came up with Farmers market and then thought it would be a good red herring for that categoy, but as an American routinely frustrated by super british pop culture on their gameshows, it's something I'll be a little more mindful of in the future. Thanks! I don't know if dinner roll is American in particular, I guess as an American, it never really struck me that that term might not be universal (3 years ago)

Cajun @ #56881: Excellent work with the sun category...very clever (3 years ago)

Cajun @ #56916: well done. Straightforward... 10/10. Thanks for the grid (3 years ago)

GJF @ #23323: Agree with DJS - Portal isn't a shooter, and Myst is also a videogame. (3 years ago)

quodlibet @ #57000: Tricky! (3 years ago)

Cajun @ #57005: Well done (3 years ago)

Cajun @ #57012: Polo and golf are collared shirts. Crewneck is a style of shirt not a shirt in and of itself. T-shirts is not the right way to define that category. And agree with Ace that synonym needs to be an acceptable for that category. (3 years ago)

RobRab @ #55509: SPOILER: Hippocampus is such a terrible mythical animal... no wonder it doesn't get to in the club here. ;) Anyway, awesome puzzle!! (3 years ago)

Dark Knight @ #57029: Nice. I tried just “lyrics” for one set, chancing my arm. I was close! (3 years ago)

Dark Knight @ #57027: Prime Ministers again?! Why didn’t you include cocktails and types of dance for the threesome. (3 years ago)

Ace @ #56992: Boo! Rea doesn't really fit, only as an anagram or homophone. (3 years ago)

Matthew van Well Groeneveld @ #57022: The social media site is spelt Tumblr (3 years ago)

yosserh @ #56983: take a walk dannymanny and friends (3 years ago)

David @ #56177: Toner should be acceptable, no? Enjoyed the grid! (3 years ago)

Ace @ #56983: Baffling indeed. Even with the 'answers' I don't understand a single one of the groups. Would be nice if they were properly explained; as it is it looks like they're all totally unconnected. (3 years ago)

RMP @ #56983: Oh dear, I seem to have been targeted here. How disappointing. I don’t understand how others have succeeded and can commend this PuzzGrid @BobbyMonger, if that is an actual name, please don’t question my academic integrity, I would like to have you removed from this platform. @DanieleManieleBaniele, again you need to improve your manners. @Mr and Mrs Smith.

Mr and Mrs. Smith @ #56983: My wife and I are serial puzzlers, in fact we have been frequenting Puzzgrid since our wedding 60 years ago. We come from a long line of proud puzzgridders, and have raised 5 little puzzgridders ourselves. We have never, in all of our time, come across such a brilliantly crafted, fiendishly difficult puzzle. It was Winston Churchill who, at our wedding, first said, when you're going through Hell, try a puzzgrid. Thank you DannyManny, for bringing back such beautiful memories. (3 years ago)

JDeGrant @ #56983: I am afraid I too have found this PuzzGrid “fiendish”. The Links which found at last were at best irrelevant and disappointing. I have been playing PuzzGrid for 4 years and this is one of the worst I have come across. DannyManny please sort your act out before sending such ridiculous grids up. (3 years ago)

Grant Monger @ #56983: Bafflingly simplistic. (3 years ago)

Daniele Maniele Baniele @ #56983: @RMP, Baffled by your comment! Ive managed this puzzle twice now and it's very easy for anyone with half a brain cell. I think you have fundamental problems, and frankly are incomprehensible, nonce. REgards, DMB (3 years ago)

Allie @ #56931: A fun grid. Thank you. (3 years ago)

Bobby Monger @ #56983: @RMP :(( Very disappointed in your mcomment, DannyManny is an excellent puzzler. Maybe you simply weren't intelligent enough to solve it?! (3 years ago)

Bobby Monger @ #56983: What a great puzzle! I can't wait to see some more from DannyManny!! Love from Bobby Monger xoxo (3 years ago)

Midge @ #57015: @Vicky. Thank you! I'll correct it now. I hope it didn't confuse things. (3 years ago)

dgms @ #57015: I took a while to see what was going on, and realise the first groups I'd spotted were red herrings, so I had to start again, but I managed it, though I had to stare at the onager line for ages to see the connection. I really connecting word being used in a different group. Thank you. (3 years ago)

Vicky @ #57015: You seem to have mis-typed compound. Otherwise, a great grid! (3 years ago)

Ace @ #57009: Very good. Nice mix of the slightly obscure with some excellent red herrings. (3 years ago)

Ace @ #57012: Needs some work. The Tees group is particularly ambiguous, I'm assuming you're implying T-Shirt for a couple of them. Oh, and if you have a synonym group please allow that as an answer. (3 years ago)

Malcontent @ #56925: @ Ace - it does work. They're not synonyms of each other, they're all synonyms of a different word, with several meanings, which appears elsewhere in the grid. It's given in the answer, which you'd understand if you'd read the answer. (3 years ago)

Ace @ #56807: @Gridlington. Think "traffic lights". Red, amber and green. I quite liked this one, although yes, it was relatively easy. (3 years ago)

Malcontent @ #56908: Good. I can't believe I solved the grid, but couldn't see the Dog line connection. (3 years ago)

Midge @ #56871: Impossible. Got the Albert Ross line, because those were all obvious, had no hope with the others, until the lines were sorted out and only got 3 links. Nighteyes, What accent do you have?

Steve @ #56836: Think you’re right about the anagrams, just wanted to mix it up a bit. Only real red herrings (chip and Beethoven) were singular. They have to be to make it work. Unless you mean cards and gamblers as singular, which probably would “look” better. It’s just usually there’s plenty of each in casinos. (3 years ago)

Brooke @ #56774: Fun grid (3 years ago)

Ace @ #56800: Rivers mixed with towns, a saint and an empress, not really groupings as such. And yes, the Red Sea is nowhere near Russia (nearly 2000km away) I assume you confused it with the Black Sea. (3 years ago)

David @ #56805: Thanks, that was fun. Your grids are quite unusual in that I get the first 2 lines immediately then struggle terribly. (I usually find grids all hard or all easy) (3 years ago)

RMP @ #56839: Links a bit sketchy. Typo in cranial which means the link doesn't work. Doesn't recognise British English spelling. Sol link is very weak, I think meant to refer to tonic sol-fa? (3 years ago)

Ace @ #56839: Needs a bit of work. Cranial is the correct English spelling, so that group wouldn't work. Oh, and you should accept the standard spelling of colour. (3 years ago)

Charles William Kirk Jr. @ #56727: I do have to say that I did stumble on this site looking for nissan motors site, but it was because I assumed if I typed in "www.nissan.com" i would arrive there. I see no problem with finding Nissan Computer corporations page here. he bought the page first. he has used the name for years. its obvious that it is a computer retailer. Also, there are many companies that don't have domain names that match their company names. nissan, I suggest you get a different site. don't push the little guy around. Mr.. Nissan, I wish you the best of luck. (3 years ago)

Neil Marshall @ #33156: Ant, spider, super and iron - I gave the connection "men" and it said that was wrong. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #56673: Well beyond me but if you didn’t have the pokemon line in there this could have been a good fiendish grid ( I appreciate it’s just personal preference about the pokemon thing but it’s such a huge group to call from that a non player would never get it ). (3 years ago)

Mollie @ #56708: All good! Best grids ever!!! (3 years ago)

Murdo @ #56720: Good themed grid to get the brain into gear. It does have an ambiguity that Iced can be swapped with Black (or Instant?) although your solution is the most usual way round so it is easily enough solved. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #56667: Haha Murdo, join the gang 😄 (3 years ago)

Murdo @ #56667: Hi Ace, Horatio and Fam. It was Fist that threw me and, yes, maybe Man should have as well but I knew that one! It's an undefined line where some piece of knowledge is either general or a bit too 'how was I meant to know that?'. I'm happy to not know things. Which is just as well, really. (3 years ago)

Josh @ #50918: Totally agree Yoanka. Emperor as well, and almost hangman (hanged man), which feels very intentional. Very much enjoyed this one. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #56667: I agree. All seemed doable to me. I missed the Man connection but should have got it. (3 years ago)

Horatio @ #56667: I agree with Ace - there were no red herrings I could see so every group slotted in nicely. The only thing Murdo might be referencing is the 'Man' one, but nothing else in the grid fits that line. For info the 'Man' first appeared in 1963. (3 years ago)

Ace @ #56667: @Murdo. Yes, it's annoying when you don't know the answers, and they can sometimes be so obscure that they don't seem 'fair'. That's kinda the point, though, isn't it? Not sure what part of this grid you struggled with, all seemed clear to me. (3 years ago)

Murdo @ #56667: Solid grid. Good range of groups. The ones I knew were easy enough! Slightly spoiled by a cultural reference that passed me by (when there are other more generally known options). (3 years ago)

Mark @ #56636: Quite a decent grid. The accords vs. capitals red herring links were just plain nasty and a bit numerous, and because of that I’m not 100% sure the solution is entirely unique. I’d have to double check for interchangeable clues. Regardless, a worthy first attempt. (3 years ago)

sircol man @ #56565: This was good but you need to accomodate to non-US spellings of "color", and you never explained the links for the singers and coffee terms, this sucked. (3 years ago)

Anne @ #56626: There's a spelling error here that threw me - it's bon appetit, not appetite. (Writing it with the correct French spelling would make that category a lot easier to find I guess.) (3 years ago)

I have heard "Cocker" used on it's own as a greeting similar to "mucker" in the south Yorkshire, Derbyshire region., and I think "Duck" is quite widespread among older generations.

Freddgar @ #56603: Good grid, only one nit pick. Three in the Anchor row aren't butter. Got the rest. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (3 years ago)

Freddgar @ #56606: Another good one. Liked the Gyre and Hound rows, didn't get them, but liked them. Again, well worked. You win 10-4 Thanks for posting (3 years ago)

SF7 @ #56146: As in the word ultra can precede all the terms. Certainly not ridiculous. (3 years ago)

Ace @ #56580: What Malcontent said, although I wasn't even able to make the fast food connections at all. I did like the aid group though, not one that I've seen here before. (3 years ago)

Midge @ #56595: Good one. I loved the Christmas ref herrings. (3 years ago)

Ace @ #56582: very poor. Two of the soap items have no apparent link to it, the "cod people" makes no sense even if you meant CoD. (3 years ago)

Ace @ #56586: What's with the box group? Only one of them is obviously related to the given connection. (3 years ago)

Malcontent @ #56546: I failed at this, sorted two lines, saw three links. Couldn't get past coal for lignite, and tried everything but xxxv as the fourth in the other line. Really good. (3 years ago)

I have crabs @ #56588: dude. (3 years ago)

Malcontent @ #56580: Two groups were really good, one was fairly random (three half names of food outlets, and one mascot from one) and just don't see. I don't understand how ballpoint (pen), safety (pin), grenade (pin?),fire extinguisher (pin?) work as a grouping. (3 years ago)

Malcontent @ #56586: Two groups were great, but two made no sense even with the answer revealed. (3 years ago)

Malcontent @ #56595: This looked a lot more Christmassy than it turned out to be. (3 years ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #56570: Please explain the mater group! (3 years ago)

Malcontent @ #56570: Very good, but I'll have to Google the link for the Alfredo group, as your answer makes it no clearer. The Al dente group isn't nice, logically - two methods and two degrees - it's like making a 'steak' group from rare, blue, grilled, microwaved - I got the group, but it's not satisfying.

Enny_Gima @ #56573: I liked it, but I feel like Orange and the other fruits could be switched around and still be valid. Also I think something like "Stock Price" or "Value" would work better than just "Stock", as it doesn't entirely make sense as is. (3 years ago)

Heather @ #56551: Great grid, keep them coming (3 years ago)

SF7 @ #56544: I really like it until the final category! You can't have two different categories in one? Different spelling and slang words. All four need to be the same. (3 years ago)

SF7 @ #56546: It was good but for some reason one square in every category is incredibly obscure. A waxy substance found in whale's intestines? An obsuce mineral corundum? Mineraloids that are the lowest rank of coal? A song that reached number 9 in the 1970's? One of these was in every category and I'm all up for a challenge but it was so out of touch with the rest of the grid. It's not for me but if other people like it then fair play. I would look for more consistency with the level within the grid myself. Thanks for posting. (3 years ago)

Freddgar @ #56546: Diamond grid, hard work gone into this. Well done. Good all round general knowledge. Phew !!! 24 seconds left on the clock. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (3 years ago)

SF7 @ #56327: Lightning* not lighting. The clues aren't actual clues, they're just vague words/references with no real meaning. No variety between categories. 1 star for me (3 years ago)

Evan Miranda @ #56541: I think this was pretty ok, I would like it to be a little harder and better topics. (3 years ago)

Nathan @ #56327: Vaguely relating to a favourite character isn't a good connection between clues, and connecting walls should cover a range of subjects. If one connection were marvel, it would be fine, but all four is too much. (3 years ago)

Colmac @ #56540: Brilliant. Too good for me. But brilliant. (3 years ago)

bigz @ #56271: Agree that angelica is a spice and not an herb. Lavender is an herb. The WY towns group left me spinning and I got nowhere thereafter, even though the OC group was right there. Fiendishly constructed. (3 years ago)

Ace @ #56493: Too much overlap between the jacksons and the biblical figures, with nothing to tell them apart (3 years ago)

bigz @ #56267: Great wordplay. (3 years ago)

SF7 @ #56265: As the previous comment says, a bit too easy. There's nothing to throw you off. Also, when using terms for the groupings at the end always use the singular as it allows more terms to be accepted. Thank you for the grid. (3 years ago)

bigz @ #56266: Much better use of name confusion than your last group. Well done. (3 years ago)

bigz @ #56265: If you get the Potter group, the others have no red herrings, no crossovers. I never saw Brooklyn 99, but knew the others in a heartbeart, so, that group just fell together. If at least one name crossedover, that would have made it slightly more difficult. (3 years ago)

bigz @ #56259: Tough and a bit niche. What are bone wars? (3 years ago)

SF7 @ #56531: Enjoyed it but might need to update the bad religion group. I typed in bands and it wouldnt accept it? Other than that it's a good grid, thanks! (3 years ago)

bigz @ #55111: Only issue is that you did not opt for 5 minutes. The delineation of the groups is tough without pen and paper at hand if you can't worm thru one group quickly. Very good work on your part. (3 years ago)

SF7 @ #56536: Loved it! Can't believe I couldn't think of a feather boa though!!! I could see all the groups but couldn't figure out which squares to put in them!Got 5/10 in the end. Very good grid, thanks (3 years ago)

Ryan @ #56453: this is so bad (3 years ago)

Ace @ #56478: Annoyingly inconsistent capitalisation. Either all or none of the names should be capitalised, otherwise one looks for some significance which wasn't there. (3 years ago)

Malcontent @ #56462: Lovely and simple. Shame 'synonym for hiatus' wasn't acceptable as a link term. (3 years ago)

Ace @ #56473: No chance on the VHS one, and I never heard Beans used in that context. (3 years ago)

Malcontent @ #56267: Nice. (3 years ago)

Malcontent @ #56282: Good. Got ten, though I only knew one band name, so guessed. Nice links and red herrings. (3 years ago)

LL @ #56519: Good (3 years ago)

Malcontent @ #56455: Good ideas, but a greatbwall. There are at least four 'red herring' answers which make up pairs of answers which can be directly swapped, meaning there are at least four valid solutions. Ariel and Beatrice can be swapped (Ariel is definitely a princess and Beatrice is a redhead). Change Beatrice to Eugenie eliminate that problem. Also, in the old Disney cartoon , Tweedledum & Tweedledee are redheads, which means Tweedledee could swap from the twins group, with Fred Weasley in the redheads group - in the book Lewis Carroll doesn't mention their hair colour, or them being twins.

Kden @ #56400: Loved it! But "lander" should have been sufficient for that grouping. (3 years ago)

eBarnz @ #56463: You should probably accept "mouse" for the mouse group. Otherwise great! (3 years ago)

EOS @ #56455: Nice (3 years ago)

SF7 @ #56462: Really good! Just maybe include the word synonym(s) for the pause/interlude group as that seems to be what most quizzes on here have for that sort of category. It's a great grid though, nice one. (3 years ago)

Lee @ #56436: The "craft" group doesn't work - you can't have "craft" for three of the words and then "crafters" for the fourth (3 years ago)

SF7 @ #56344: Wow! Mate, honestly it's just a bit of feedback. You're now criticising my feedback based on how you think some people pronounce the city I'm from - incidentally a word that does actually contain an R. It's a fine grid, I just one issue with that. For what it's worth I saw Edin-burra so your argument is flawed. I cannot believe such an innocent bit of feedback is being met with such passive aggression?! Anyway, I'm going to stop replying cos this is getting ridiculous. Have a good one mate. (3 years ago)

JesseBlack @ #56434: Thanks for the comment Aetees. I think there are some cases where the consistency of how you select the words does not matter at all, perhaps with film titles for example due to the ambiguity of words like 'the', 'it' etc. However, I do think in this case you are right and the consistency makes the solution a lot neater so i have made a slight change. :) (3 years ago)

Fredric baker @ #56429: I would much appreciate it if I could edit some of my work, i got one of them wrong and it is really annoying me, I also think that it was right anyway por favor give me the points. Yours sincerely, Fredric baker. (3 years ago)

John Doe @ #51349: How can you have uninteresting as the official answer, but don't take not interesting as an equivalent answer???? (3 years ago)

Aetees @ #56434: I enjoyed it. I do think that if you are picking a single word out of a title there should be consistency in how you select the word. E.G. all the first word or all the last word. Good on the whole though, thanks for posting. (3 years ago)

Malcontent @ #56412: Please correct Kelper to Kepler. I wasted time trying to find another astronomer for the astronomer group, and hidden seaweed species to make a group that fitted with the misspelling. (3 years ago)

Malcontent @ #56418: Good. The groups work and couldn't find any pairs of answers that could be swapped between lines(despite my best efforts, as I was annoyed at failing). Too hard for me to finish (solved two lines, found four links after time). (3 years ago)

Malcontent @ #56433: Quite good. Two really, really annoying red herring groups.Challenging to spot the groups, satisfyingly logical links - shame they were all word puzzle based. (3 years ago)

Ace @ #56391: I love it when I've not even heard of any of the show/character/whatevers in the answers. How specialised/obscure are we prepared to go? (The Blue ones were the only group I might have stood a chance of getting, although I didn't). (3 years ago)

Jay @ #56411: Great grid (3 years ago)

Roberta @ #56412: You need to check the spelling of those astronomers! (3 years ago)

Roberta @ #56428: Definitely not a unique solution - there's a whole bunch of answers that could swap between the "boy bands" and "contain brothers" groups, and you could swap One Direction with the Jackson Five as well. (3 years ago)

Bobby @ #56412: Good Puzzle (3 years ago)

stjohn @ #56344: Hi SF7 - no offence intended I was intrigued how you would pronounce that word. I tired all sorts of accents in my head, then remembered you were from Scotland where there are many accents and dialects. I see now you are from Edinburgh [Edinbraw , Embra local variants] but I believe Ed-in-bruh is phonetically correct. Now to claim to know exactly where the "r" should be in a word is a bit rich where this moves from after the "u" in the spelling to after the "u" in pronunciation. This makes me smile. If I set other grids with the risky homophone aspect and I miss, please please feel free to let me know :-) (3 years ago)

Ace @ #28959: @j, Many non-pc computer keyboards have separate keys, and functions, for (carriage) Return end Enter. (3 years ago)

SF7 @ #56344: I assure you I'm absolutely fine. As I said in my first comment - overall a good quiz. But your argument suggesting I'm expecting everyone to conform to me pronounciation is both false (I am not suggesting that) and reversible (the writer should not expect everyone to conform to theirs). I would dispute that the 'majority' of people pronounce Stalk like that, the r sound should be absent and that is a linguistic fact. Like I said though, a good quiz I just wanted to question that. These quizzes need to be open to all feedback and I included the area I felt needed improvement. That's all. (3 years ago)

Ace @ #56344: @SF7, I think you're the one getting your feathers ruffled. While we can all be aware of different regional pronunciations, you can't expect everyone to conform to your own. For the vast majority of the English-speaking world, Stalk rhymes muck more closely (even exactly for most people) with Stork than it does with Stock. (3 years ago)

Ace @ #56383: The boat "control" group doesn't really work in your very narrow definition, three of them similar but the fourth only tenuously connected (yes, I know what the keel does, but it's not an active control like the others). Simply boat parts would suffice. (3 years ago)

Gary Lee @ #56409: I have found this site by accident and I hate to say this but----This is one of the most ridiculous, unfair and unjustified lawsuit I have ever heard about!!! I strongly suggest that the Nissan Motor Company Stop harassing small companies and allow them to go on their business. Why don't they use a name as nissanmotors.com or whatever. On the Nissan.com web site it is clearly stated that if you are looking for Nissan motors please go to nissandriven.com or something like that. The owners of that site did not even have to do that but they were gracious enough to. If this is the case then ANYONE with a name can take anyone to court for a name? OK well then I should sue whosoever owns www.garylee.com for that web name? it does exist, I may be older than the person who owns that website, therefore since I am older than him do I have the right to "STEAL" that name from him? or force him to give it up? IF I do want it THAT badly then my alternative would be to approach the owner and offer to purchase it from him, and since it belongs to him it is his decision to decide if he wants to sell it and what price he wants for it! If I so down and out as not to be able to purchase it then I have to do without it.. Maybe someone with the name of Wendy should decide to take away or file a lawsuit against Wendy's for that name too.. and so should thousands or millions of other companies or individuals, hell let us take everyone to court. Come on people this is ridicules.......... I do wonder if this has anything to do with anything cultural??? if so this could become a suddenly blown out of proportional and even become an international issue. these are my thoughts.

an aberdonian @ #56344: @stjohn came here to complain about the stalk - stork 'homophone', didn't think I'd see Sheddocksley getting a shoutout! (3 years ago)

E @ #56310: Literally the definition of a snack is that it is not part of a meal. Hors d'oeuvres are meant to be eaten before a meal, the appetizer is generally the first course. So they are not all parts of a meal, you need a different definition. Also, cil, guin, and dant all become single words when "pen" is added at the beginning. Penstate is not a word, you have to add another n and make it two words so it doesn't work as a group. (3 years ago)

Ace @ #56266: Two groups who's explanations don;'t begin to explain. Judy, jake, b99, what? Do we assume that crucible is some sort of TV show or movie? Why not say so? (3 years ago)

Ace @ #56271: Nasty, didn't get a single point. Herbs are a bit dubious, Lavender certainly isn't one, Angelica arguably not either. I did like the OC symbols though. Got a groan when I saw the answer. (3 years ago)

Starmandx @ #56285: Good job, I like the Mario red herring. For the word connections, you should make sure the missing word is on the same side for all four clues. So in this grid, the Duke comes before three of the clues but after one of them. Also, Hazzard in Dukes of Hazzard has two Zs (3 years ago)

Loin El Richie @ #56266: ABC. Always Be Capitalising. (3 years ago)

a_redo @ #56175: oh. okay that's pretty cool (3 years ago)

Chris van Chip @ #56276: Nice Puzzgrid! The links are clearly defined, allowing Puzzgrid to mark it relatively well. It's also a nice refresher :) (3 years ago)

bigz @ #56021: Neologisms should probably not be used. Adding the 2nd E to ampersand....... Just make a different group (3 years ago)

a_redo @ #56193: would never have known disc golf brands but this board is really fun! love the red herring with Na (3 years ago)

Cajun @ #56114: Had me chasing my tail on the NBA herrings. Well done except the "nature" group is a weak connection (3 years ago)

Malcontent @ #56266: Don't know how I scored 10 on this. No idea what the Judy group is, even after reading the answer, but I got a point for whatever I wrote in the link. Two groups of musical terms in the same grid isn't great. Only sorted them because the tempo ones were clustered together so I saw them first, then noticed the others and had a go at putting them together as my third line- not really satisfying. Abigail group was good, and it was nice to have a musical terms group. 2** (3 years ago)

Ace @ #56244: Thanks Oli. You might think about adding more details to the answers anyway. (3 years ago)

Est289 @ #56265: Nice wee grid. I didn't know the names connection. (3 years ago)

Oli @ #56244: lol, sorry Ace, my autocorrect changed "x-men" to "men". Toad, Gambit, Storm, Bishop (and beast and angel as red herrings) are characters from MArvel's X-Men comics. (3 years ago)

dgms @ #56267: I enjoyed that- a nice mix of general knowledge wordplay,and one simple definition group, but it was frustrating to have so many red herrings (three) for the only straightforward line. The Red line and the Collapsed line were excellent fun. Thank you. (3 years ago)

Ace @ #56244: Pretty poor when even the answers given are unknown and unexplained, e.g. "men characters". (3 years ago)

bigz @ #55970: Nit picky on Nixon. He just dodged impeachment. Really good confusion with the assasination and Mt. Rushmore groups because you have enough names of people who have appeared on US coins and bills. I must admit to failing to solve it because Mt. Rushmore was so obvious that I never considered it and kept going on about assassinations and currency. Very well done. (3 years ago)

bigz @ #55963: Pulling offf Classical Gas. Congrats. Gets some of us even for the pop, rap, and hiphop groups that show up on grids. (3 years ago)

d @ #56211: I don't think it's too hard (I got a 5/10) but I do think the 'fist' category could use some improvement. I think it's best practice for groups like that to be structured either as 'precedes _____' or 'follows _____' Enjoyable grid all the same (3 years ago)

Malcontent @ #113: Good, but not great. Fair enough to be strict about counties vs provinces (though I feel Ireland or Irish should have been sufficient, really) but I'm pretty sure corollary doesn't strictly mean result. I'd have solved it in less than half the time if that group had actually been genuine synonyms. I've also never heard of duff as a synonym for steal. (3 years ago)

J Silberman @ #56183: Good comments, thanks Ace and Savage, Ray67. It was an experiment at using Puzzgrid in a different way and I am sorry that some of you did not like it.

Argon Vile @ #56172: Sorry about the poor connections, although I don't think "All X are Y" is necessary for a valid connection, just "X are commonly Y". Most clutches have a pouch, and most pies are round. If you watch any cartoons, movies, TV shows, Three Stooges shorts, anime -- you will be very hard pressed to find a non-circular pie. You can also google image search terms like "Clutch Bag" and "Pie" which will echo the common understanding of what these items look like. Most grids revolve around connections like "Sharks and Jellyfish are found in the ocean," "Armstrong and Rover have been to space," but this doesn't imply that all sharks are found in the ocean (Seaworld would have a word), or that every person with a surname of Armstrong has been to space (The fuel costs would be astronomical!)

Ray67 @ #56183: A nice idea, but very hard to solve in the 3 minutes. (3 years ago)

Nighteyes @ #56170: I'm still seeing oversight and off. Those two are not autoantonyms. (3 years ago)

Savage @ #56183: Agree with Ace (3 years ago)

Ace @ #56183: Ridiculous. The numbers in each 'group' actually have nothing specific in common with each other. No point making a grid impossible when nobody is going to feel, once they've seen it, that they should have been able to work it out. (3 years ago)

Ace @ #56177: Nice one. Never knew about "Key" - filed for future use. (3 years ago)

PANOPTES @ #56175: Oh, I get it. (3 years ago)

Ace @ #56152: Yes, far too niche. Lots of related terms to confuse you, but none of them are actually related to the real groupings, which is what makes a good red herring. (3 years ago)

Ace @ #56170: Better now, good job on the change (3 years ago)

Ace @ #56172: Some very poor connections. The bells are not mentioned in the song, unless a very loose translation; a purse, especially the British usage, doesn't need to have a pocket; pies are not inherently circular. (3 years ago)

Lindybeige @ #56158: Did you try getting 'veil' in there as well? That would have been neat. I typed "!" and hit return. Would have been satisfying had it given me the point for just that. (3 years ago)

Freddgar @ #56168: Nice and easy grid 10s all round Thanks for posting (3 years ago)

bigz @ #55899: Just excessively ridiculous. At lest have the courtesy to make it a 5 minute solve, not 3. Backwards and upside-down. Do you enjoy torture? (3 years ago)

Lindybeige @ #56148: The deities are equivalents of each other in Roman and Greek mythology, and are associated - often depicted as a pair, so these are two names for the same pairings, so they go together regardless what they represent, and 'love' isn't really the main thing they represent. (3 years ago)

eBarnz @ #56014: A homophone is a word that is pronounced the same as another word but differs in meaning. Fly has two different meanings, so it is technically a homophone of fly, even if that's not how I usually think of homophones. (3 years ago)

Malcontent @ #56161: Good fun, nice and simple to solve once I recognise one or two from each group. I didn't even really see exactly what had been removed, but they just fell in place in about a minute. Thanks (3 years ago)

Malcontent @ #56137: Really good grid but impossible to solve, because Marker and Float could be swapped over between their respective groups, so there are at least two different valid solutions, when there should only be one. (3 years ago)

dgms @ #56156: Thanks, Malcontent, that was good. The Best group and the Temptation group were excellent. Matcha was a bit of a giveaway for its group (that was a big help), but I think the final group was too vague, and the connection too far removed from what was actually there to see in the grid. (3 years ago)

Freddgar @ #56161: Oops shoul have read the answers first !!! Apologies, red face. (3 years ago)

dgms @ #56157: Thank you, that was great fun. I really liked the Tolkien's Mirkwood group, and the red herrings for the others. I just wish I'd scored better. (3 years ago)

Griffin @ #55863: I really liked the concept, but unfortunately I rated this one poorly because it isn't possible to rule out the last two categories. Juno, Pluto, and Minerva can all be excluded from planets, but Jupiter cannot, and he is also a Roman god.

Fam @ #56031: Happy to have been bamboozled by you! Fluttered around my last two groups for ages and one of those groups was so obvious after the fact. Ty (3 years ago)

Widger @ #56027: excellently constructed - v tough within the three minutes - got them all on third go. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #56034: Wordy ones will get me every time. 3/10 for me. (3 years ago)

Widger @ #56031: excellent grid (3 years ago)

Kate @ #56031: (3 years ago)

Freddgar @ #56009: Nice and easy for someone of my vintage. A fan of all. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #55975: Tricky enough if you don’t know football. Good grid. Ty (3 years ago)

Yoanka @ #47100: Amazing! (3 years ago)

Fam @ #56030: Thought I was going to race through it but got down to the last two groups and ran out of lives before I got the right combination. Ty (3 years ago)

Aetees @ #55975: Very Good (3 years ago)

Fam @ #56028: PS You lose a point ( or all ten ) for including that Leader of the House (3 years ago)

SM @ #56010: please correct the spelling of palindrome (3 years ago)

Freddgar @ #56028: Very good grid. Well worked, note to self. Read more classics. You win 10/7 Thanks for posting (3 years ago)

Ace @ #56028: The dickens references are really obscure, well done. (3 years ago)

Kate @ #55937: infuriatingly good :) (3 years ago)

Yoanka @ #44354: The anagrams were a bit too clever for me, but I liked it. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #56028: Haha Aetees, well I am quite pleased with myself then 😊 Can’t deny it St John, always happy when one of your grids pops up as they always induce a pleasant amount of head scratching ( or groaning ). Almost got a full house but my literary ignorance let me down. Ty. (3 years ago)

Ace @ #55991: Capitalising the names makes that group too obvious. And the answer "agent" should be accepted, not just the plural (3 years ago)

Aetees @ #56028: Very well put together. I didn't get anywhere close to solving it but I would have felt very pleased with myself if I had. (3 years ago)

rosiepose @ #55960: Nice one! (3 years ago)

rosiepose @ #55968: Really good, particularly enjoyed the Secret Service code names one, kicked myself afterwards! (3 years ago)

Ace @ #56023: Stephen Walton, you're quite right, my mistake. (3 years ago)

Ace @ #55992: Add "length" to distance group answer (3 years ago)

rosiepose @ #55974: Good grid, but I think it would be better if you tried to do categories that there weren't clearly four or five of. As in, it's really guessable when you see five obvious movie titles or full names, whereas the walls on Only Connect tend to be a bit more obscure. (3 years ago)

Stephen Walton @ #56023: Ace - thats a homophone. however i put they could all have first letter replaced with H to make new words so i think i deserve a point (3 years ago)

Fam @ #56021: Brilliant. What an eclectic mix to make sense of. The only one I couldn’t get in the end was Mum though I knew what was required. Ty! (3 years ago)

Fam @ #56008: Trickier than your average grid. I’d agree with Widger about flour. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #56004: Nice challenge. Enjoyed that. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #56007: Quite straightforward but probably hard to get if you’re not from the UK. Ty. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #56025: Perfect (3 years ago)

pseudonym @ #56025: You can say that they are ... colourful (3 years ago)

Ace @ #56023: A homonym is where differently spelled words are pronounced the same. These were simply words with more than one meaning, which could include most of the English language. (3 years ago)

Ace @ #56026: Surely the groups are far too obvious even if you don't speak German? (3 years ago)

Jmelb @ #56001: Nice and tricky. (3 years ago)

Ace @ #34294: Obscure code, but easy once you work it out. I didn't. (3 years ago)

Jmelb @ #56025: Just noticed what a pretty array of flags you are collecting! (3 years ago)

TRIFFIK @ #55990: That was great fun TY St John (3 years ago)

Pseudicat @ #56004: Glad you liked it, Widger! While Keep is often associated, you're right, it is also actually a specific type as well - often following 'stone'! :) (3 years ago)

Tom @ #34294: So very clever ******** (3 years ago)

Justin Z @ #51146: 3 fun groups, but I don't like the "before or after" construction. Neater when it is either "before" or "after" exclusively. (3 years ago)

Widger @ #55994: challenging grid ty (3 years ago)

Widger @ #55995: Good grid (3 years ago)

Justin Z @ #42675: Could have used a greater variety of link types. (3 years ago)

puzzled @ #56017: I love a puzzle - I was wondering how Malcontent can leave a comment on #56017 when it does not exist and then give an almost identical comment on #56020 - what do you think Dogma? (3 years ago)

Widger @ #56001: a monster of a grid. Scarred by the silent treatment (3 years ago)

Widger @ #56008: liked the river group and the piggy group. thought flour was a bit of a stretch but overall an enjoyable grid (3 years ago)

Widger @ #56004: Enjoyable grid. fooled into thinking de niro was in Shutter. Tiny gripe - Keep is associated with the group not a type of ... (3 years ago)

killacool @ #56014: Ace, you're right, I changed it to iceberg, how silly of me (3 years ago)

Widger @ #56009: What Shane said (3 years ago)

Ace @ #56010: You;ve misspelt palindrome and it doesn't recognise the correct spelling. Film connection is too vague. (3 years ago)

Widger @ #56010: good grid (3 years ago)

Ace @ #56013: Too niche. Never heard of most of these people or the (I presume) TV shows mentioned. (3 years ago)

Widger @ #56015: very clever grid (3 years ago)

Ace @ #56014: Not bad, but a glacier does not sit on top of water. (3 years ago)

Widger @ #56021: very enjoyable grid (3 years ago)

killacool @ #56022: try not to overthink it, it is easier than it seems (3 years ago)

killacool @ #56014: shane, that depends on your regional pronounciation ;) (3 years ago)

Malcontent @ #56020: Good - especially liked the Nonet line. Couldn't solve the whole wall, one line seems tenuous and a line or two of knowledge based rather than word puzzle would be nice. (3 years ago)

Shane Miles @ #56009: Not hard, but very enjoyable (3 years ago)

Shane Miles @ #56014: Not bad, but Aunt isn't a homophone of Ant, i'm afraid. (3 years ago)

Queb @ #56020: Awful (3 years ago)

Yoanka @ #42198: I love grids with a common twist. Very good one. (3 years ago)

Yoanka @ #35374: Nice, simple and friendly to younger solvers. Maybe "kid-friendly" should be a category for people to browse, some of these would be nice brain teasers for children. :) (3 years ago)

dgms @ #56020: I really fell for the abbreviated names redherrings, and wasted half a minute on them, but I got there in the end. Thanks! (3 years ago)

Yoanka @ #8403: The T- and -saw categories were great, and the dance category with Tango and Jig was just the right amount of confusion. Took one star for using brands as a clue because only 2 of them are internationally recognizable, but that's par for the course with these things. (3 years ago)

Yoanka @ #35648: Definitely fits in the easy category for me, but I enjoyed it. The bean clue is quite common, so it pops right at you after solving a few of these. (3 years ago)

Yoanka @ #44800: A bit too obscure for people outside Britain, I think. (3 years ago)

Yoanka @ #37982: Uniquely fun. 2-3 words per group are all you really need to guess the common clue, so there's always a bit of fun in finding the last word that fits. :) (3 years ago)

Malcontent @ #56017: Loved the Nonet group. Would be nice if there was a knowledge based line/group among the word puzzle ones though. (3 years ago)

Jmelb @ #55984: haha, you old smoothy! (3 years ago)

Jmelb @ #55995: Nicely done, TY! (3 years ago)

Yoanka @ #49709: Fun and original. (3 years ago)

Yoanka @ #30437: Too much sport in one grid for me. (3 years ago)

Jmelb @ #55990: Very well put together TY (3 years ago)

Yoanka @ #50918: It's rather interesing that Star and Wheel of Fortune also fit into the Major Arcana clue, and Tsar also fits into the anagram category. Not difficult, but a nice grid. (3 years ago)

Jmelb @ #55993: Nice TY (3 years ago)

Yoanka @ #15868: Very easy, nothing was there to tie the categories together and create red herrings. (3 years ago)

Yoanka @ #30982: This one was really tough for me. I completely missed the clever anagrams and I thought the clue was related to sports teams, singulars of sport team names or something (Yankees the baseball team, Canucks the hockey team, the rest I had no idea about, but I'm not well informed in sports, so it sounded plausible). I've never heard someone call Australians "Kiwis" or Brits "Poms" before. (3 years ago)

Nb @ #55950: A tricky one. Just 4 points for me. The nose group was a bit too abstract (3 years ago)

speilberg @ #50152: diese niegar konnen suuk mie nutz (3 years ago)

speilberg @ #56010: dis mudda (3 years ago)

JP @ #55970: As Widger, says, Nixon does not qualify for his group, although he very likely would if he had remained President longer. More technically correct would be to replace "Nixon" with "Trump, again". (3 years ago)

neighthin @ #33026: @cx and nick, that's how this works, most grids have red herrings even on the actual Only Connect show. But there is still a unique answer since Minute and Times are required to complete NYC. It's only a bad grid if you can swap two answers and it still works since then it's not unique. (3 years ago)

Flamingo34 @ #56011: Really enjoyed this! (3 years ago)

Bredbeddle @ #49111: noice m8 (3 years ago)

Moondog @ #56001: 0/10 for me. I should have picked up a few of the clues before reading the group explanations. More fool me. A truly excellent grid. I might have scored midway, but your red herrings totally fooled me. (3 years ago)

Avenger @ #5491: This grid needs removing. (3 years ago)

Louise Sutherland @ #47100: very witty (3 years ago)

FactGuy @ #55995: Thanks! I really appreciate it! (3 years ago)

Stephanie @ #56003: Fun puzzle. (3 years ago)

James @ #56003: Nice puzzle, thanks (3 years ago)

Fam @ #55995: Liked that! And loved the fact that I got the Cruel Summer line despite guessing that they were all songs by Bananarama 😂 Good connections. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #55993: Thanks Hamburger. These are good as fun easy ones ( if you’ve done them before ) as you can quickly pick out the groups once you’ve found the connection in one example. Still took me a minute and a half mind you 😄 (3 years ago)

Fam @ #25128: How did Lorna even start on these? How did she keep coming up with novel ideas like this and then think, “yeah, I’ll construct 16 examples of this and fit them into groups”. Incredible mind. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #56001: Enjoyed reading all the connections even though I didn’t get them. Ty. (3 years ago)

St John @ #56001: truly movie buff territory (3 years ago)

Fam @ #55992: Managed two groups but all the connections. Nice one! (3 years ago)

Fam @ #55988: Really liked that, especially as I got it with seconds to spare and my last life. Got the dip line with a different connection in mind ( - out ). Had some different examples in mind for the pebble line but pebble sealed it as Jmelb ( I think ) had mentioned those to me once. Ty! (3 years ago)

AMX @ #55370: 👍 (3 years ago)

Fam @ #55990: Thank goodness for Flanders. I almost didn’t get that one. Ty! (3 years ago)

quodlibet @ #55988: Deceived into looking for some connection with your name. Not up to date with my slang, I'm afraid. (3 years ago)

Hamburger @ #55992: Thought it would be easy, lots of herrings well done, cheers. (3 years ago)

Sally Wheelwrong @ #55992: Golly gosh, was this hard! I was pretty darn salty when I couldn't get it. Overall, I'd give it a solid 10/10, even though I'm Wheel"Wrong" most of the time. But this time I'm definitely not! (3 years ago)

Louise Sutherland @ #25128: would have been perfect with a little more time. . . and if i had a pencil and paper! kept forgetting the words (3 years ago)

St John @ #27584: I missed tis first time around. As Louise says "so clever & Fun! check it out (3 years ago)

Louise Sutherland @ #27584: SO clever and fun (3 years ago)

St John @ #55979: @Freddgar - agreed Kitty not as well known. This was from his New Masters Album [this single got to No 47 in the charts in 1967] a bit more obscure, but I wanted to keep a pussycat theme running through the puzzle. (3 years ago)

AMX @ #55990: Great grid! (3 years ago)

gridleyscott @ #55740: I am gridley scott. How DARE you steal my name - Sent from Samsung smart fridge (3 years ago)

St John @ #55969: Everyone a winner ty (3 years ago)

Hamburger @ #55990: Rob Orbinson cracked me up. Very high quality made grid, unfortunately I really need to brush up on some of my general knowledge. I got the theme straight away but still couldn't crack it. Hats off to you, cheers. (3 years ago)

Hamburger @ #55989: Not much effort in this. (3 years ago)

Freddgar @ #55979: Excellent grid, Kitty ?? got most of his LPs, well I'm from that era. 'Tother two were a guess, but got 'em. Couldn't place Una. Thanks for posting. (3 years ago)

Hamburger @ #55988: I got it with about 5 seconds to spare. Tougher than it looks, cheers. (3 years ago)

Basil @ #55989: Awesome numbers (for Primary kids!) (3 years ago)

Hamburger @ #55987: Very clever. Loved the English line, cheers. (3 years ago)

Hamburger @ #55969: Excellent fun to do grid. Not sure if Aces belongs in that group technically though. (3 years ago)

rosiepose @ #55987: Tricky! Liked the Microsoft (Word, Edge, Office) red herrings. (3 years ago)

Hamburger @ #55984: Entertaining as always. A well deserved plug BTW, keep 'em coming, cheers. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #55987: Liked the word line. I always end up reading a capital ‘i’ at the beginning of a word as a lowercase ‘l’ so that threw me. Ty (3 years ago)

Fam @ #55986: These come up every now and again but they still take me quite a few tries to get right. Ty. (3 years ago)

Hamburger @ #55982: I agree, the size line spoiled it for me otherwise pretty good. (3 years ago)

__ @ #50257: Should have accepted "facial features" because that's what they are. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #55984: Ahh, thank you 😊 Got all the groups but wouldn’t have scored much on the connections by your exacting standards ( don’t forget I rarely bother to type them in ). For one I didn’t notice the meanings, I just saw what they could be without the beginning. (3 years ago)

David @ #55957: Great fun, thanks. Didn't get the final group's connection as I couldn't fit Sky Plane with the rest. (3 years ago)

St John @ #55982: Shame, but Britain and Auk are interchangeable and have to agree with Ace the Size line needs work, but ty anyway (3 years ago)

Ace @ #55982: The mediums are a bit random, to say the least. (3 years ago)

St John @ #55984: (3 years ago)

Hamburger @ #55975: Excellent grid, so much fun. 5 stars. (3 years ago)

Hamburger @ #55976: The orange line is a bit iffy; so many others could fit in there. Other than that a good grid, cheers. (3 years ago)

Hamburger @ #55978: It checks out but frustrating to solve. Cheers. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #55978: Sorry for the misidentification again Dave. As for dave, well here’s another nice mess…. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #55971: Oh of course, how silly of me 🙄 Sorry Dave 😄 (3 years ago)

Hamburger @ #55980: The meerkat line was a bit hard but a good fun grid nonetheless, cheers. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #55974: Yes brilliant. Point Break line very clever - I didn’t get it 😄 (3 years ago)

St John @ #55971: me dave sml "d" lol - apologies to Dave (3 years ago)

St John @ #55981: 5* simple pure grid, took me a little while to get my first line, kinda fell into place after that. Ty Hamburger (3 years ago)

Fam @ #55971: Oh Christ, so Dave’s not you St John?! I think I’m going to have to start writing some of this down. (3 years ago)

Hamburger @ #55979: Another excellent grid albeit very difficult. Loved the lifeline line, cheers. (3 years ago)

St John @ #55980: Quality, quality, quality 5* well earned me? - 2/10 meerkat (3 years ago)

Fam @ #55979: This is more like it 😀 Exact same scenario - two I knew, two I didn’t, one refresh - but this time pleased to learn the new connections and back to your usual 5* 🙂 ( I was trying to use that flippin’ ducat too ). (3 years ago)

Widger @ #55979: Excellent grid - a real d'oh moment when i realised where lifeline should be . TY (3 years ago)

dave @ #55978: Think along the lines of Elon Musk or the Kardashians, any thing can be or not be a name or not a name. Good initial idea Dave , but....... oh well ty [still wrong Fam😊 ] (3 years ago)

Fam @ #55978: Gah, I didn’t mark you down btw, in case you think that was me! ( you were off your usual 5* though 😉 ) (3 years ago)

Fam @ #55978: Hmmmph, got the Iris type group distinctions straight away, but even refreshed to try to sort the remaining two groups to no avail. Can’t argue its validity but still feel a bit hmmmph 🤨 (3 years ago)

Hamburger @ #55929: Great grid, well done, cheers. (3 years ago)

Yup @ #55895: Having both Chevy and Dodge brands makes the grid a little same-y, in my opinion. Enjoyed otherwise. (3 years ago)

Yup @ #55954: Tony Stark group is pretty flimsy. Rest was fine. (3 years ago)

Ace @ #55840: Didn't like the deliberate misspelling tp make one of the clues+red herrings work, (3 years ago)

PotatoSalad @ #55969: Nice and easy, but some clever red herrings there. Would be good if you could accept "NYC" for the relevant group (although perhaps I just shouldn't be so lazy!) (3 years ago)

Dave Coram @ #55969: Just right... (3 years ago)

Fam @ #55929: @ St John 🤦‍♀️ (3 years ago)

OtterK @ #55974: Really loved the Point Break row. One that you feel over the moon to get! Brilliant grid. (3 years ago)

stjohn @ #55929: nice easy one, you're a fun guy Theo. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #55971: Think I know it’s you this time. Got two groups but annoyingly didn’t put another together even though I guessed three clues. Missed the false eyelashes as what would they have to do with cake. Wd again! (3 years ago)

Widger @ #55970: Good grid - although I dont think Nixon technically belongs in his group (3 years ago)

Ace @ #55948: Yes, too many possible, equally valid, groupings, with no logic used to get the "right" ones. Shame. (3 years ago)

OtterK @ #55969: Really enjoyed this. Thanks! (3 years ago)

Aetees @ #55958: Very good. (3 years ago)

Trillium @ #55963: Fiendish, for sure! (3 years ago)

Fam @ #55929: Only your second grid and already getting glowing reviews Erodoeht, well done! You’ll be hooked now and constantly trying to think of new ideas. I thought I’d only post one and now I’m forever scribbling things down on pieces of paper 😄 (3 years ago)

Fam @ #55966: They need to create a category beyond fiendish for your grids. Ty. (3 years ago)

chris @ #55929: Maybe the best grid I have seen on this site. Varied, intelligent, difficult but not impossible. Well done. (3 years ago)

Jackie Chapman @ #55535: Nice one! Just tricky enough. (3 years ago)

Jmelb @ #55958: Hahah, Stjohn has wayyy more than me! But his clever style often gives him away. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #55958: No, I’m just me Jmelb. I think it’s only me, you, StJohn and your aliases that are on here 😄 I highlighted it for you in the comments. Maybe you did it a while ago but thought meh. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #55957: Thanks Hamburger. Well crafted and nice ways in. What does it say about me that when I’m thinking of making a similar grid I’m thinking of how to disguise it and make it more difficult 😄 (3 years ago)

alexboi @ #55948: Good idea but poor quality. A lot of numbers can swap groups with each other and still work. For example: 2 and 10 could swap groups, and 90, 8 and 66 could all swap places with both 50 and 78. This often times makes it impossible to finish the grid without heavy guessing, even if you've somehow figured out the connection. You need to avoid that. (3 years ago)

Jmelb @ #55966: Nice, very OC! TY (3 years ago)

Jmelb @ #55958: Thanks Fam - another alias : ) stj- homophire lol! (3 years ago)

Fam @ #55956: Hi Ace, I never really get this. I know of stridor through my job, but wasn’t familiar with ronchi which I looked up and both are there. That’s what I see as part of the beauty of these grids, the chance to learn a new word or fact. Now computer game characters, that’s another matter….. 😄 Thanks FactGuy, managed two connections but missed the memo link and you know which other. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #55958: Very well done! I managed a measly 2/10. Ty. (3 years ago)

Langers @ #55840: Caught out by link of the fly group (3 years ago)

Fam @ #23411: Do this as a fiendish challenge without the comments, or have a read and make it doable ( though working out my last two groups still made my brain hurt ). (3 years ago)

Fam @ #55889: I noticed this was your first grid erodoeht. I think it’s quite a good grid. You’ve probably been marked down a little because HP comes up frequently but also your description for the tallow line doesn’t explain it fully so maybe some people have missed what you mean.

Persona Gallica @ #55886: What is the link between Cameron Diaz Keira Knightley Margot Robbie Jennifer Lawrence? Just giving full names in the answer doesn't help here. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #55882: Liked that. Ty. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #55883: Nice idea Widger. I was surprised by how many of these I got. Helps that I had one of these groups in one of my grids and that I learnt the word uva in a recent grid. Thanks! (3 years ago)

Krokodil @ #55792: 5* Brilliant. Excellent grid (3 years, 1 month ago)

eric @ #55813: the connection for line two is also collective nouns for animals - i wish you people would check your facts before submitting sub standard and incorrect grids (3 years, 1 month ago)

eric @ #55820: the connection in line one could also be to beat... (3 years, 1 month ago)

eric @ #55824: another gird that hasnt been thought through - Persue is spelt wrongly and this line could all have the letter D added to the words to form another word. The connection given of words for romantic pursuit is lame in the extreme. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Sav @ #55822: LEN Fairclough (3 years, 1 month ago)

I used to watch it at work, or even just watch the highlights, but every race has been too important this season to not watch live. Italy was one of my favourites. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #55781: @St John, but I don’t mind that as it’s brought Merc and RB closer together in the constructor’s championship. I was probably more anxious about Alonso’s tyres hanging out. If you end up working as a tactician for Mercedes can you get me a ticket? 😀 (3 years, 1 month ago)

St John @ #55781: @ Jmelb - as Dawn French said in the advert "they're not Terry's - they're mine" @ Fam - I did not think the race was boring, it was like a chess game. I even shouted at the screen to bring Bottas in for a tyre change when he had about 23 secs advantage over Perez - did they listen to me? like hell and four laps later BOOOM flat tyre. Poor tactics from Mercedes. (3 years, 1 month ago)

It doesn't matter in the long run as you have no other choices that match the mammoth, sloth, and tiger. The poppy group falls together. The suits are a given. Your last group comes together via elimination of the others but the connection is insanely niche. Poor job top to bottom. (3 years, 1 month ago)

St John @ #55781: The FIA said that Max & Red Bull had nothing to answer for and Mercedes request for a review was thrown out.. I am not saying anyone would do anything underhand but.....Max not running Lewis off? How come he ended up so far off the track if he was turning into the corner and amazingly the onboard camera showing if Max turned the steering wheel was not available.

I’d actually not mind if Hamilton won now as he’s been fighting hard and it would be a great comeback story. Max played a bit dirty last week. It’s been a phenomenal season! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Malcontent @ #55775: Good, but Wright and Ball can be swapped between groups(fairly certain he fits that link and Ball can follow that word) so there are at least two valid solutions to the grid. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Malcontent @ #55770: Good, but I'm giving myself 6 rather than 5. The only link I really knew, for the first line I solved, was marked wrong because I put the character who said it, Malvolio, not the play. I had a lucky guess at the Uneasy link. (3 years, 1 month ago)

dgms @ #55670: @dave.How does it not work? It works for the group it's in. In fact, it's the reason I made that group with that link. It doesn't work for the group it's a red herring for, but it doesn't have to work for a group it's not part of, does it? Perhaps I've misunderstood. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fizzy @ #54946: Assassinated and Sauce were both marked as incorrect! This was a good quiz - but could have been great if you’d given more flexibility with the answers. A lot of people will put “assassinated” rather than “shot to death” - and be as frustrated as me that you mark this as wrong. Tiny amend from your side and all will be well.

Fam @ #55537: Haha, liked it when the Gher line fell into place 😄 (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #55583: Haha, I love the comments sometimes. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Midge @ #55579: @ Ant. I've no idea and no interest in what Zootropolis is, but I'm assuming there's no Fox or Worm in it, so it the Zootropolis link means Rabbit can't be swapped with either one. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Stephen Walton @ #55559: excellent red herrings! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #55383: Ahh, thanks WVPuzzler! Appreciated from such a skilled and prolific grid setter as yourself! 🙂 It takes me quite a while to compose a grid so I’m chuffed if people like them. It’s a bit like cooking a roast dinner - it takes all day and then it’s gone in an instant 😄 (3 years, 1 month ago)

Midge @ #55576: Good. Got the Nones group, knew it the link, but not the right link term. Guessed the cellophane link after I'd solved the wall. Loved the Home group (and the lesson) (3 years, 1 month ago)

Ant @ #55579: Nice grid, though I feel the Zoopolis group is hard to distinguish between just regular animals. (3 years, 1 month ago)

SC @ #55541: Hardback and tapback? (3 years, 1 month ago)

RMP @ #55441: Not wild about having terms like "wife beater" and "winter beater" in these puzzles. And yes, I know the first can also mean a garment, but it is still distasteful. (3 years, 1 month ago)

WVPuzzler @ #55383: I got a couple of these clues, but it mainly went right over my head, particularly the rhyming slang, though I knew mince pies. I liked the explanations, once the grid was resolved. Thank you for truly fiendish and very clever grid! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Joe @ #47823: Grace link was rubbish. (3 years, 1 month ago)

WVPuzzler @ #55578: Well spotted! reminds me of el, em, en, eo, which is what I thought was the answer. I have updated the grid. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Widger @ #55583: Putting connection explanations in is a sine qua non (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #55580: Managed this one! I’m sure we subliminally absorb words from other grids. One of your four letter words was an answer in one of St John’s recent grids I believe. Good grid. Ty! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Widger @ #55535: Yes - I didnt spot the Crowbar Wrench - should have gone for Crown (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #55578: Managed to get all the groups but only one correct connection. I thought ‘c’ for that group too. The Salt group I thought were means of removing stains, guessing that Clear and Fresh might be American brands. Didn’t have a clue about Era. Ty. (3 years, 1 month ago)

WVPuzzler @ #55512: Got the Beast, Jenny lines, the other two were stumpers. Nice but tough grid, thank you! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Cristobal @ #55535: Mr Picky, you're too picky. A wrench and a crowbar are not interchangeable at all. A wrench is a spanner for undoing nuts and bolts. A crowbar is a jemmy for forcing open packing crates or locked doors. Good grid! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Horatio @ #55544: Brilliant grid, thanks (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #55544: For some reason even though I’ve done this style before I was thrown by the layout and the fact that both words started with the same letter. I spent all my time trying to work out a complicated solution that wasn’t there! Wd, ty (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #55546: Getting harder. Got the groups but only knew a fraction of the words. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #55545: Thanks Simon, it’s fun trying to refresh my Spanish. It’s easy enough to look up but if you want to put translations in the answers in future grids it’d be nice 😉 Got confused and kept thinking that uvas were eggs rather than grapes 🙄 (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #55485: Yes, this was really nice. Ty. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #33987: She must have kept you all on your toes St John. Her brain is definitely working at a higher level. So many different ideas and techniques. That’s partly why I missed this, as I assumed ( 🙄 ) it was one of those ones where there is a mixture of words you know and some more obscure ones. So I was trying to find the Savannah group but also something to do with people who work with metal/soldering. I completely missed it. (3 years, 1 month ago)

jollycorpse @ #55166: @ Mister Tom - Thanks. "Dried nasal mucus" almost made the final cut but I decided against for fear of upsetting the more squeamish among us(!) I have since tweaked the homophone in question to make the distinction more overt for future players. (3 years, 1 month ago)

William F @ #54712: Incredible grid. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #55416: I wouldn’t feel bad about this grid at all Argon Vile! Just being difficult doesn’t make it bad. One of the hardest things on here is to come up with something original and this is a success. It was one of those ones where you wonder if it’s just a nonsense when you can’t make any connections, and then you see it once the grid is resolved and think, ‘ahh that’s clever’. I don’t think it’s American centric, just the one line where we tend to work in different units now making it harder to spot but it is necessary because of one of the clues. Well done! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Argon Vile @ #55495: I'm unsure if it's deliberate, but having the same word twice in the grid means it's a coin flip whether you guess the correct "Duck" or not! Other than that it's a clever grid and I enjoyed solving it. (And, having the repeated word "Duck" is cute because of the "Duck Duck Goose" wordplay.) (3 years, 1 month ago)

Argon Vile @ #55496: A very tough grid, as only one category is identifiable without guesswork! As someone who's never played System Shock, Final Fantasy or Resident Evil -- I still correctly identified the other three categories. But, ran out of time trying to brute force the members because of the clever misdirects (Bumblebee, GLaDOS, Leprechaun) Someone who plays more of your kinds of video games will probably have more success! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Argon Vile @ #55416: Thanks, Fam! I do feel bad about this grid for three reasons: two of the categories are very American-centric, and one is a knowledge check where you're either familiar with one specific thing or you aren't. I'm impressed you were able to guess the connections! Making these grids where they're fun to solve is hard for me, but I'm having fun trying. Thanks for your patience with me!

Absolutely not – test and edit it using the email link first 8) When tried and tested, recreate the grid anew and submit publicly There are plenty of other file hosting sites but I had issues with several of them and so stuck with the above method after trial and error.

Fam @ #55429: Haha, I know this should have been easy but I tell you where my mind went. I put Ghost in two wrong categories where I had three already so thwarted that effort. Also started wondering whether PS was in St Elmo's Fire so that red herring worked too. Then to top it all got Striptease confused with Indecent Proposal, which wouldn’t have been a problem only I was trying to remember if Jack Nicholson was in that or was it Robert Redford. You see what you’re dealing with! 😂 Still, I scored 3 on the connections once Ghost was in its right group. Thanks for setting! 😀 (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #55403: Cotton translates better Argon Vile, but I think it’s always going to be tricky with food related grids. French dip and Reuben don’t mean much to me either but I guessed they must be in that group. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #55359: Crikey, cut the guy/gal some slack. Admittedly I often don’t bother typing in the answer. I know whether I got it or not and that’s enough ( though to be honest I do occasionally type the answers just for the childish satisfaction of seeing the confetti 😀 ). All that’s happened here is that the poster has put the plural form of the connection in the link box. Accepts sauces, Asian sauces, mushrooms and butterflies. Not a biggie, just stick the singular in instead next time, or the root of the singular and plural eg butterfl. I think that should work. God knows I try to put every possible connection in the link box when I post and still sometimes miss some. Thanks for taking the time to post grids 🙂 (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fizzy @ #55417: Clever, clever, clever. Didn’t get “The Answers” until I saw all the answers. Nice one. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #55415: Works well. Fun whilst still being tricky. Was happy to get the aha moment with the gin line. Ty! (3 years, 1 month ago)

SC @ #55416: ridiculous (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fizzy @ #55359: I agree with Moondog. I put Asian sauces in for the sauce one - because satay sauce is from Indonesia - NOT China. Frustrating! Don’t be so specific - and if you are going to be specific make sure you get your facts straight. Otherwise would have been a good puzzle. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #55416: This is very very clever Argon Vile. I couldn’t see anything but the links are very good. I finally guessed the connection for 451 once I’d seen all the others. I won’t spoil it for anyone else who’s going to try so I’ll leave it at that. Brilliant work, ty! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Argon Vile @ #55415: Wow, fun grid! I couldn't figure out the link between the last four words, but once they were side-by-side I pieced it together. The "gin" and "forefinger" links tricked me, you tricky person 😛 (3 years, 1 month ago)

Brooke @ #55370: Good grid (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #55407: Gave this one a go film buff and you’ve actually made it quite accessible but I think maybe my film knowledge is never going to be great enough no matter how easy. For example, I knew about Mirren, Blanchett, Hayek and Dench in those roles ( maybe even Hopkins ) but still wouldn’t have known enough to guess or form those groups. Ty anyway, you still learn something and might watch a film because of it! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #55407: Thanks Moviebuff ( I actually knew this one was you for a change ). Yes, it’s more ones ( potentially ) like this one where I recognise a lot of the players but don’t know where to start. I could let it play out and then see if I could see a connection but I think it’d still be hard. The more I think about it, maybe you’d have to oversimplify it too much to make it worthwhile 😄 (3 years, 1 month ago)

Argon Vile @ #55403: Thanks for the suggestion! I've added "lolly/lollies" as a suggestion, although "Candy Corn" is a bit of a play on words which hopefully crosses the pond. If not, I'd love a suggestion on an alternate type of tricky candy to guess which translates better ("Ribbon" Candy, "Cotton" Candy, etc) (3 years, 1 month ago)

MovieBuff @ #55407: Nice easy quick cuppa type. Was NOT going to fall for the Susan George type again and took me just a little while longer for the Hopkins [which was his?] rhetorical, I will research. TY filmbuff regular quota of stars applied. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #55398: Jmelb, oh don’t get me wrong, it was good! It was my first grid of the day though ( yeah, I’m fangirling you ) and for a while I was even trying to figure out whether all the groups were the same format ( I could see quinoa and was trying to see if that worked ). I like a tough grid though and get more satisfaction out of it even if I have to refresh. With this one though sometimes I’d refresh and lose the groups I’d already found! 😄 I still took a wrong guess at the skiy group thinking there might just be some words I didn’t know ( and because I think you laid that trap 😉 ) so even after all the extra time you still won 10-7 and I’m happy with that 😀 (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #55407: Hi film buff ( and movie buff ) I never really give your grids a go as my knowledge isn’t great enough. But if after your grids have been up a day or two and spoilers aren’t going to ruin the fun for serious movie fans, any chance of some hints? Would be fun to try. ( I figure that anyone who deliberately reads the comments before attempting a grid after a few days is looking for hints anyway ). (3 years, 1 month ago)

Miss Slink @ #55404: Ok, but the thing with grids like this is that once you've worked out one set of connections, you're most of the way to figuring out the rest of them, and so loses some of the difficulty/fun. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Moondog @ #55359: I got the groups rather quickly, I'm irritated by the fact that sauce and mushroom were not accepted as correct answers. The clue is in the instruction when uploading a grid, the beginning of a word is sufficient to give the definition because the software put in place by the originator of the site will supply any suffix needed to complete the definition. If you decide to ignore that and specify a single meaning then you are effectively saying only those people who think exactly like you and type that exact phrase are correct. Unless you carefully define an exact phrase or meaning in your groups you are going to attract constructive criticism, or precise instructions on how to go about explaining your groups. You can take this as either one, the other or both. If you see it as anything else, you should consider the possibility that you need to expand your command of language before attempting another upload. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Moondog @ #55396: Completely missed the colours, and IMO X Men was an informed guess but I should not have been that stupid as I did know all those characters, I just didn't connect enough. Respect. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Moondog @ #55363: Like Fam this wasn't easy for me even though I recognised all the songs, I still missed the connections in two groups. All hail the brain that thought it up and put in all the effort to give us a music round as a wall. The effort to not only connect all the songs, but to upload the clips is much appreciated, probably the best conceived and executed wall on this site that I have ever encountered. Many, many thanks.

Hamburger @ #55387: Being from Australia this was rough, still managed 2 lines, cheers. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Moondog @ #55378: I'll happily accept the other groups, but Whales, Horses, Dogs and rabbits are categorised as mammals rather than simply animals. As the pop up says 'he system isn't perfect. Do give yourself the extra points mentally. (There's probably no need to comment about this, unless it's constructive.)' I believe it's constructive to make that criticism as the facility is there in grid construction to construct the groups within defined parameters. If the group is too wide (i.e could include arachnids, reptiles, birds, fish, amphibians or even extinct species, the fault most likely lies with the originator of the grid rather than any perceived failings of the software used to create it. A little more creative thought and precise definition would correct this problem. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #55352: @St John. Haha, I need to attend that course too. I often joke and people don’t realise that I’m joking as my humour is quite dry. I should have stuck a smiley face on the end of it. Are you saying you didn’t get the groups this time around? I find that astounding as I thought I’d made a bodge of it. I don’t think it’s bad enough to bury it, just not good enough to be proud of it. Could have used the groups more wisely in better separate grids. (3 years, 1 month ago)

St John @ #55311: @Nighteyes, I took another look just to be sure. The "ed" suffix would work for that line, but think that would be really really poor or loose don't you think?. Plus an "ed" suffix could also be applied to at least five other words [making nine] and that would result in a non-unique solution grid and that is a total "no-no" (3 years, 1 month ago)

VT @ #55363: Loved this one, nice touch with the audio clips! (3 years, 1 month ago)

St John @ #55352: Hi Fam, I am taking a course at the moment about customer services and effective communication, Visual clues [body language] are so important as are tonal values. So written communication, [which we take for granted] has it's potential pitfalls a case in point, I was not criticising your grid, but my failure to recognise the words. It was meant as a general utterance of personal frustration. If I wanted to I would use the Scottish variance "keech" which I think sounds a much friendlier version of the English or French. If I hate one of my grids, I edit it with four different numbers or symbols [which I think you have seen before] and issue an apology with it. (3 years, 1 month ago)

d @ #55289: Connections are so niche basically no-one would get them. 1. "Good candy bars" to get on halloween? Skittles isn't a bar, and neither are smarties (though they could), just make this candy 2. Maybe if it becomes popular in the future, but very few people play "super auto pets" for someone to answer it - the game ones should be of well known series 3. Things that can "ascend"? Perhaps, but you don't use the specific word "ascend" to describe rent, helium and escalator (rise, get higher, any one of the many synonyms), but unless you use that word, Jupiter doesn't make sense, so the question is literally about getting "Jupiter Ascends", otherwise you can't get any connection 4. This makes so little sense, like the words should at least be relatively related to each other - Door Hinge and Bumble Bee literally have the app name in them, so there isn't much to figure out, and the other 2 are just really loosely related (Like tinder to campfire? I guess, but match has very little to do with pair, unless I was 100% certain on door hinge and bumble bee I would not be able to make the connections) There also really isn't any red herrings, this just seems like a bunch of weakly related words put together (3 years, 1 month ago)

Malcontent @ #55277: Good. Had to restart once after solving one group, as it took so long, but I managed it! Would be excellent (and I would've solved it quicker)if your Latin was correct - Lupus is wolf, not rabbit. Rabbit would be Lepus (actually hare rather than rabbit),lagomorph (the family that includes rabbits and hares), oryctolagus cuniculus (the European rabbit) or something indicating one of the other rabbit species.

JD @ #54206: too many variables, agree inflated balls, hard balls etc (3 years, 1 month ago)

David @ #55166: Thanks, that was huge fun. Confetti and plenty of time left. (3 years, 1 month ago)

bigz @ #54446: Between niche, confused, confusing, and nonsensical. Two groups are just plain weird. Third comes together only by happenstance. (3 years, 1 month ago)

RMP @ #55166: Very nice! (3 years, 1 month ago)

RMP @ #55160: 13+6 does not equal 18 which technically makes this puzzle impossible/very frustrating (3 years, 1 month ago)

LGG @ #55119: Pretty sure it was Edd the Duck (double d) (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #55124: See, this is how bad I am at the wordy ones. Obvious what you’ve got to do but it still took longer than 3 mins for me. It’s down as easy but not for me 😄 (3 years, 1 month ago)

d @ #55079: Great fun as always, FYI "mr" wasn't accepted, may be worth an edit. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #55119: Yes, it must have been my bad spelling. I thought it was a bit mean not to accept the game. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Widger @ #55112: nice groups , although no months end in "ter" so mind need an amendment (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #55122: Not a clue ( apart from robot ) but who am I to judge. Somebody might know that stuff. I didn’t even know who they were apart from Jay-Z. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Widger @ #55119: nice groups , revolver isnt spelled backwards though. (3 years, 1 month ago)

St John @ #55119: Ed Balls was not on my wave length, but I see where you are coming from. Plus the answer accepted for epor was clu,wea,back thanks (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #55119: I wondered what toilet balls was. Did you mean to do that? I’m also not sure if I typed the obvious answer for epor incorrectly but it didn’t accept it. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #55118: Svetlana took the words right out of my mouth. Might be a geographical thing. Ty. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #55096: This will probably go off the front page soon. If you’re a sports fan you might get it. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #55098: Think this is an example where people mark down just because it’s difficult. I didn’t figure it ( kept being short of a whole group ) but it’s good and original as far as I can see. Thank you ( didn’t know about beetle ). (3 years, 1 month ago)

Trillium @ #55101: "Digits add up to a prime number" is another valid connection for the group with 34. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Svetlana @ #55118: Should accept peppers as an answer. Otherwise, great grid! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Pat @ #43242: Enjoyed that! (3 years, 1 month ago)

uxo2nd @ #55113: Nettle, Scorpion, The Police and Bilbo Baggins... Genius :) (3 years, 1 month ago)

Taildragger @ #55108: Loved this one. Soooo many crossovers! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #55115: Thanks ( friendly tip - if you want to make a few clues harder, choose some which start in a vowel, or don’t contain so many consonants ). This was quite straightforward but fun. (3 years, 1 month ago)

kitty @ #55111: Really good tough grid. Confess I refreshed the page as I ran out of time with just two groups so probably took me 30 seconds longer than the 3 minutes. Very satisfying when I got there though! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Breadeds @ #55109: I would allow 'salads' as an acceptable answer (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #55112: Easy apart from the ary group for me. Thanks (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #55113: Loved Boombastic which I got straight away. The rest foxed me but it was masterful. Ty. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Trillium @ #55111: This be excellent ;-) (3 years, 1 month ago)

bigz @ #54399: Too intricate. Almost like a revenge grid for prior criticisms. Essentially impossible given the time constraint and, even with 5 minutes, bloody impossible. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54336: @WV Which version were you watching? UK, NZ or US? Biased obviously but UK is the best ( for the presence of Greg Davies as the quintessential taskmaster ), NZ a close 2nd and US pretty awful. It depends upon the personalities as much as the format so maybe being familiar with the comedians plays a part, but I came to know and love some of the NZ contestants. I haven’t watched any OC recently. I’m very poor on the earlier sections but sometimes quicker on the missing vowels and I’m sure I’d be better at the wall now. Drives me crazy when they don’t systematically work through all the options when they have 5 possibilities in a category. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #55111: Hi Bouldersaur ( good morning? ). I could see where this was going but there were enough clues that I didn’t know that I couldn’t get the groups. If I’d have thought what the table clue meant then I would have been able to narrow it down and possibly get it, so I think it’s a great grid and good challenge. Ty! (3 years, 1 month ago)

EOS @ #55111: Superb (3 years, 1 month ago)

Taildragger @ #55102: Very nice grid, great categories. Some fuller explanations would have earned 5 stars for quality. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #55110: At last I’ve got one ( one of your easier ones ) now that I’ve clicked on to your style. Ty. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Bouldersaur @ #55111: Thanks for playing my puzzle, feedback is welcome! I didn't want this one to be TOO hard, but I fear some of my clues are a bit too obscure. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #55103: Very clever idea. Yet another one I didn’t see. 5* for you. Dunce hat for me. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #55099: Very good. Saw ss straight away but struggled with grouping the others. Thanks! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Freddgar @ #55109: Nice and easy grid. 10s all round Thanks for posting (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #55086: Noice. Good groups but somehow I only got two connections. Ty. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Brooke @ #55067: Very enjoyable & a bit different. Took a while to realise the pattern though! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #55090: Btw, what I like about your puzzles in this style is that there are always at least a few clues I don’t really know and have to work out from those that I do, or by default. Miss Marple group was my last in this case. Thank you for the work you must put in. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Dan @ #55102: nice (3 years, 1 month ago)

Bouldersaur @ #55052: Nice puzzle! When I first looked at all the words I thought "No way I'm going to get this" but after some thought it all came together. Cool puzzle! (3 years, 1 month ago)

CoffeFondue @ #51803: That was easy (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #55063: Haha, very good. You had me a bit, thinking it can’t be as straightforward as this and then going round in circles with the red herrings ( I try to be systematic when there are 6 to see if I can still narrow it down but I think it’s still by accident in the end ). Only connection I didn’t get quite right was ‘etiquette’ but The Doors was good. Ty (3 years, 1 month ago)

WVPuzzler @ #55082: This was hard but good, I got one group (knew two) and three connections. The Cash line was a stumper. Thank you for a tough challenging grid! (3 years, 1 month ago)

WVPuzzler @ #55086: Very Good, was a not-so-wild guess on the Starr line, since I only knew two, but was happy to be right. Got a respectable 7/10, thank you for the grid! (3 years, 1 month ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54308: That's what I get for not checking the answers when I get a group correct; silly me! (3 years, 1 month ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54336: Fam, I watched the first two episodes of Taskmaster, and to be honest, it was kind of 'meh', at least to me; I may not have been in the right mood, and will try it again later. More recently, however, I have been immersing myself in series 17 of Only Connect, and thinking that making these grids has improved my lateral thinking, as I have gotten several more questions right than I normally would.

WVPuzzler @ #54515: Yes, St John, 'Kil' was tricky. I looked for initials, abbreviations, etc, and found an obscure Dutch word, and was thrilled; if I use this letter sequence again, and I do, God help me! (3 years, 1 month ago)

The instructions are right there on the screen when you are creating your grid. Lazy lack of effort. And believe me this is constructive, because you need a kick up the ass! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Moondog @ #54949: Difficulty is driven by intellect. Intellect is distracted by red herrings. I would rate this grid as very difficult becuase the red herrings distracted me beautifully. Perfect example of the walls on OC. I respect that, well done. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54822: Right, found it. I’d guess that someone has marked it down because it’s difficult. I only got 2/10 ( Ug should be Ugg btw ). But I personally don’t think that grids should be marked down because of difficulty, as what is hard for me might be perfectly doable for someone else. It’s a valid grid but I think what makes it fiendishly difficult is that the nature of the connections for all of the other 3 groups makes the clues wildly different and hard to group. Dog line was interesting. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54834: Thanks @StinkyPete, Freddgar, Ace of Spies. Yes AOS, that’s what I see as a fault of the system as if someone marks it down early doors then there’s no chance to see how it would have been rated by different people over a longer time period. So it’s skewed in favour of whoever marks it down as it can be off the page in mere minutes. I’d suggest you just make a mention of it in the comments as then people are at least aware of it and can give it a go. If nothing else you can get feedback if there was a reason it was unpopular.

Fam @ #54865: There’s no logic to the spacing of the letters Aetees. The setter can split them as they like, sometimes deliberately to mislead.

Fam @ #54834: @Nighteyes, thanks for attempting and for feedback. Realised that muddled sale might be confusing but both words were there for a reason in a way. I thought someone might know Mayday then pick out that group. Then you’re looking at a smaller set of words, and onwards… I often don’t get any groups then answers seem more obvious once the grid is resolved. Or I just like reading the connections anyway even if I would have never got them. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Bouldersaur @ #54701: I loved that the clues for the 4 letter words were the easiest to figure out, which gave more information for resolving the others! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Nighteyes @ #54826: 10/10 with half the time left. I put "sleepy" where you were looking for "synonyms", because many setters do not accept that if you don't say what it is a synonym for, but I think it was a moral victory. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54834: @Bouldersaur 😂 (3 years, 1 month ago)

Bouldersaur @ #54834: Oh! I see. I was filtering by USA, I see it now. For sure, I think it's hard for folks to remain neutral after they've gotten 0/10 on a puzzle! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54834: Thanks Bouldersaur. I once had it explained to me that if your grid gets awarded less than 3 stars then it will go off the main page and can only be found by specifying that you want to browse grids of that rating. People wouldn’t generally do that so then it doesn’t get seen. But I think some people rate down because they find it hard or don’t like it, rather than rating up on difficulty and remaining neutral on quality. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Nighteyes @ #54834: To be worth 3 stars it must be at least theoretically possible to solve it. This was not only exceedingly obscure, but even if one had an idea what one was looking for, there were so many ways that much of it could be interpreted, that it would take way too long to run through all the possibilities. For example, muddled sale could have been a clue for an anagram of "sale". So after eliminating the easy group, dawdle etc. I looked through all the other clues to see if they had any possible connection with lase, then seal, then leas then ales. By then most of the time had expired, and I'd barely started considering what the rest might mean. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54838: Haha, yeah it doesn’t take much to dupe me! Yeah, I try to as people take the time to post and then they have no way of knowing if people have even done them ( apart from the rating I suppose ). Nice to get some feedback though. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Bouldersaur @ #54838: I may have been super deliberate in making pairs and trios of clues on this one...thanks for playing--I see you commenting on all the grids and that's super nice of you. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Bouldersaur @ #54834: I gave your 5 stars! I tried to display all puzzles, regardless of ratings and didn't see this puzzle at all. I forgot to set a puzzle to "for a general audience" and it didn't show up on the site at all. Maybe that's what happened? (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54838: I think I might have done a previous one of yours like this and got it, but on this one I kept finding two or three things that went together then drawing a blank and not changing tactic. I tend to either see it or smash my head against the wall 😄 You've been posting some great ones (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54834: Ah, thanks Bouldersaur - but reason to downgrade it on quality or just upgrade it on difficulty? I very rarely give less than 3 stars - only if someone is clearly mucking about or it’s not suitable for kids who might be playing. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Bouldersaur @ #54838: Thanks Fam! I try to make my puzzles all have a theme and once you figure it out, my hope is it's easy to sort all the categories. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Bouldersaur @ #54834: I gave it my best go and got OBLITERATED. Even when resolved I had only an idea for one! Super unique topics, too hard for my lil' brain. :) (3 years, 1 month ago)

Moondog @ #54840: You who enter textspeak and symbols to prevent honest players from gaining points have the audacity to berate them as fools? Clearly your life is limited indeed if you take pleasure from peurile pranks. I'm knocking 40 points off my IQ just by chastising you for being a timewaster. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54838: Aarghh, completely missed it. 5* for you 3/10 for me ( once I read the first connection ). Should I have put it down as a medium, which it should be, or a fiendish for me 😄 (3 years, 1 month ago)

Moondog @ #54846: I'd like to point out that for the film group I deliberately entered 'badly spelled movies' and was awarded the points, but yet computer games and sport were marked incorrect! There's probably no need to comment as the sytem isn't perfect, but I felt the need to vent all the same. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54834: I’ve got bumped off the front page straight away. Please give it a go and give feedback so I know why. It’s on the harder side I suppose until you see it, but not hard once resolved I shouldn’t imagine. Ty. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Nighteyes @ #54748: The idea is ok, but the groups are sloppy. Two real ales, one stout and john smiths do not make a group. Three books which are essentially word descriptions, and one set of maps - again a sloppy group. Two prostheses and two diseases. Not a group. And no, they can all be experienced by people of any age. The Holmes group is also messy. It works, but you have author, two words from the title, and a location. Very jumbled.

Ace of spies @ #54714: Tricky. Robbed of a point by misspelling of flin(t)stones 😲 (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54699: Are you from the UK Nighteyes? The only ones I wasn’t familiar with were Mowbray and Hofstadter and they would still be known by a lot of people. Give this a go tonight before it’s too late! (3 years, 1 month ago)

chris @ #54709: Quality grid, well done (3 years, 1 month ago)

Griddler @ #54714: Great stuff. Got really stuck on the Magic Roundabout. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Nighteyes @ #54699: The overall outcome is ok, but most of the content is ludicrously obscure. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Nighteyes @ #54700: Potentially ok as an idea, but the majority of the "opposites" were simply different. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Nighteyes @ #54707: Quirky. Playful. Good. (3 years, 1 month ago)

d @ #54657: Agreed fam, enjoyed the grid otherwise though (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54710: Got there eventually but definitely needed more time. Ty. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54710: I’ve realised that I find these really difficult even with pen and paper 😳 (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54706: Thanks KPOT. I picked up on the idea and the fourth clue quickly but hadn’t noticed about the first clue. It’s a great format. I guessed Crackling Good and Fore and worked backwards from there but for the others I didn’t know the final clue so I just worked with the remaining possible letters to try to form words that might fit. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Aetees @ #54696: Vert nice. I could really go for some LMN MR NGP about now. (3 years, 1 month ago)

kpot @ #54706: Thanks. It does have a visual look of difficulty, but not that much different to the ones WV and you and others have done recently. The principle is the same. I don't know if you noticed but all 1st start with the letter in question and I tied to leave a clue in the 4th slots. As they are all numbered this reduces the risk of fumbling around too much. From these I thought it would lead one to the answer. Obviously I did not accept just the first letter. (3 years, 1 month ago)

StinkyPete @ #54699: Very nice (3 years, 1 month ago)

Puzzler @ #54002: Thanks for the feedback. J - Fruit is rejected because you could have included banana. The link is that they are companies not fruits. Fam - Most people think Boris is his first name - it's actually Alexander and apparently he's known to friends as Alex, not Boris. Martin - good suggestion - I thought Kiwi might send people down a NZ line as a red herring. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54706: Another great idea KPOT. I needed about ten minutes though. Managed 4/10 as it’s very hard if you can’t hazard a guess at the fourth clue. Would love more of these! Thanks! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Puzzler @ #54180: I like this grid! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Langers @ #54703: A nice twist (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54698: Yeah, I thought that too St John. Especially as it’s a flippin’ funny grid 🙂 (3 years, 1 month ago)

St John @ #54698: It's OK Aetees, we know that this is not you (3 years, 1 month ago)

St John @ #54707: It's good to have fun! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54707: Haha! Well no complaints from me and honoured 😄 Had trouble finding one group but then I looked up and it came to me. And you were right, STN KYPT was indeed all I could see! ( when I put that together with FM in one group and it was wrong I felt a little silly for my conceit ). Thanks and keep them coming! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Freddgar @ #54696: Another good one, nice and easy when you spot the plot. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54693: Definitely think these are considerably harder than it seems as the setter. Got these eventually. I like to try to work out every clue even if I’ve already got the groups ( took a while to get FLT NK ). Thanks. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54664: Easy one. Only had a little stall with the underover line. Thanks. (3 years, 1 month ago)

RMP @ #54686: Sorry to be picky, but there are a lot of misspelling in this grid. They are distracting because there is (for example) no Caribbean island called Jamaca, it's Jamaica. The rest are: Girls', Bentley, Antigua, Triple H. Unless the misspellings are there for a reason? Also the Harpur Trust set is wrong/out of date. There is no school called "Bedford Prep" but there is "Bedford School" (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54676: Wasn’t so clued up on this one. Got Hemmingway but then only one other after resolution. ( Dry sack/bag not made of Tex btw. It’s a bag with a roll top closure that provides a watertight enclosure by the way it’s secured. Usually made of nylon with a siliconised waterproof coating ). (3 years, 1 month ago)

J @ #54686: Also Antigua spelled wrongly. (3 years, 1 month ago)

J @ #54686: Not great. Didn't accept car as the answer was probably set to cars. Should use singular as advised. Jamaica spelled wrongly. Bedford line way to localised knowledge. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Freddgar @ #54679: Excellent grid. Love the vowelless walls. Solved the wall, failed on the 2 and RY LFMLY rows You win 10 -6, more please. Thanks for posting. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54679: I wish I could learn from you StinkyPete. This works wonderfully. Mainly it’s really not important to try to disguise stuff. It’s hard enough as it is if you’re not the setter. And having 4 distinctly different groups makes it better too. Got all the groups but 4.0 was only by default so didn’t know what that was. Thanks! (3 years, 1 month ago)

S. Sanders @ #49812: NOT BAD @ ALL (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54645: I did give this a go on paper St John as I’d already written it down. It’s definitely too hard without ordered letters though as there are too many possibilities to narrow down. At least you gave it a go. Some people don’t post at all. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54647: Ah St John, don’t be so hard on yourself ( we’re doing a pretty good job of that 😉 ). I didn’t get to give the other ones a go but you could have just changed them to the letters and numbered them as in Simon’s original. I found that a reasonable challenge in itself in the time, and don’t forget that some people are just doing these on their phone on the train ( or in the bath @Nighteyes 😂 ). Keep at it…..the scattergun fights on! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Nighteyes @ #54641: I got the idea, but too late to find more than one group. Yes, paper would have helped, but I'm in the bath, so it might have got a bit soggy. What would also have helped is if the answers were connected. Like xray, zulu, papa and mike for example. (3 years, 1 month ago)

kaphc @ #54646: Lovely connections on this wall. I got slightly distracted by the wrong spelling of Manhattan, and wondered if this was a deliberate mistake but I don't think it was? (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54647: I’m your biggest fan…..but this is madness. Having to work out the letters just consumes time with a pedestrian task, and then without any ordering of the letters it seems too much of an ask….sorry…..I love the cryptics, trivia input, wordplay and English lessons though 😀 (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54645: Hmmh, I’m not happy about this but I’ll give it a go. I’d considered that rule but then wondered whether that means we are using various mathematical functions. Anyway, it’ll come out in the wash but this might be a scattergun example. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Simon @ #54641: To explain what is happening here. What you need to do is create four, four letter words. 1st represents the first letter of the word, 2nd represents the second letter of the word and so on, this is to help you. There is only one unique solution. This might take longer than 3 minutes so you could refresh it before the time ends. I just want to see whether people like the concept.

Freddgar @ #54626: Nice and easy, 10s all round Thanks for posting. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54626: Thanks KPOT. Works well as a straightforward grid. (3 years, 1 month ago)

werdna @ #54606: Easy but fun! (3 years, 1 month ago)

kaphc @ #54612: Lovely wall with nice straigthforward connections and some good red herrings (3 years, 1 month ago)

dave @ #54625: needs an edit (3 years, 1 month ago)

werdna @ #54626: Great fun. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54554: Right, I’ve changed this for a ‘final’ time. Subjectively picked the most well known or easiest to spot examples of each category so hopefully doable even if this isn’t your area of interest. Refresh! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54554: Thanks Edwaldo, feedback is great as it’s so so hard to pitch the missing vowels ones correctly. I’ve changed this grid so many times but I might modify again so that they are easier to spot, then people can try to find the link. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Hampton @ #54602: Good grid. Ty. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Edwaldo @ #54554: FIENDISH! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Edwaldo @ #54569: A superb effort (3 years, 1 month ago)

Est289 @ #54567: Hi Fam. I think I put it as "hard" rather than "fiendish" but these evaluations seem to get changed by PuzzGrid. Thanks for playing my grid though! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54617: Thanks, I wasn’t familiar with the Desmond line overall but had heard the Desmond term itself. Nova line made me laugh as I was expecting it to be far more educational. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Est289 @ #54612: Great fun grid! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54616: Got a couple of the links once the grid was resolved. Peterborough line let you down though, unless I’m missing something. Thanks for posting. (3 years, 1 month ago)

St John @ #54613: very good, appreciate the humour thank you (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54613: Great grid Weston. 10/7 to you. Missed the land connection but good one. Thanks. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54612: Fine for a bit of fun. Ty. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54610: I didn’t know there were any red herrings? (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54610: Quality grid Midge. Just missed the Zorro connection. Enjoyable, thanks. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Ben @ #54596: Loved the 'death' group :) (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54597: Knowledge based not word play, in case you’re wondering whether to persevere. Thanks but beyond me, esp Palkia group ( should have a category of their own or some kind of warning in my mind 😖 ) (3 years, 1 month ago)

JerseySusanna @ #54585: Thank you - my head hurts and I need more caffeine! Really good crossovers. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Malcontent @ #54610: Nice. Not too hard. Once I'd discarded the obvious group which was a red herring, two groups fell into place right away, the third wasn't hard to separate, but finding the fourth link (Collier Yates) was beyond me. (3 years, 1 month ago)

JerseySusanna @ #54603: Great grid but, being not as clever as some and now having learnt a new word (!), I had backwords refused which is usually okay. Thanks for the new word which I love! (3 years, 1 month ago)

JerseySusanna @ #54605: Thank you - didn't make all the connections but got the links when connections made. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54606: Fun one for some confetti. Thanks. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54605: Good grid. Gran Canaria I believe but still possible to guess. Ty. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Freddgar @ #54606: Good grid. Never knew that about Alderney, I was a fan too. Live and learn. Thanks for posting. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Freddgar @ #54596: Very good, liked the death thingy. But...I put ring for the Fellowship line (don't ask), got marked correct ! You win 10-5. Should be 10-4 😉 Thanks for posting (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54596: Very good, thanks. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Kaphc @ #54591: Very fooled by this wall, I was convinced I'd seen connections and was trying to make groups of things that weren't there! The penny dropped when I started naming the connections and from then on I did better (3 years, 1 month ago)

chad @ #54600: GARRBO FLARBO (3 years, 1 month ago)

Squadxzo @ #54593: Just decided it was probably better to make slight adjustments to the last clue to make it a more reasonable thing to guess while making the clue more specific. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Squadxzo @ #54593: No idea how to judge how hard this one will be but I tried to make it somewhat fun with a bunch of crossovers. Also not sure how to best clue or phrase to accept for the last group so I was quite lenient. Anyway I like it for my second grid hope you do to. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Moondog @ #54570: I suspected foods mentioned in Life of Brian, but could not make a single group. FIendish indeed, beat me soundly. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Moondog @ #54571: Your descriptions on retailers and bands failed to encompass a broad enough description. The tools are there to do better. I suggest you do the same. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Moondog @ #54578: Wall, folk etc completely sent me on the wrong track. A great wall definitely in the spirit of the show. Thanks. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54568: Pleased with confetti on this friendly grid as I finally applied stuff I learned from other grids - dodged a red herring, remembered some new trivia, applied a technique. Ty! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54567: Oh dear, yes, that IS going to be fiendish. I recognised my first few and then….. oh no wait a minute. I’ll wait for someone to give some clues. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54560: St John, yep. I didn’t know any of them. It’s been a busy day on google. (3 years, 1 month ago)

St John @ #54541: Very nicely done frenalen. Go on I'll third it. ty (3 years, 1 month ago)

Antny @ #54564: I got two groups as well. The Hym would have been easier if it was Rhym. Also, I don't know carry on films very well. (3 years, 1 month ago)

St John @ #54560: Thanks, not a bad grid, works what more do you want? Now, what is a villiant? Nitro for the non professional is just a reference to the gas mixture for tap poured stout or other "smooth" beers [70% Nitrogen 30% Co2] this produces smaller bubbles and gives these beers their characteristics. Would have preferred Oyster but it's your grid and none the worse for that. Now Fam have I confirmed what you were thinking? Profilier! ;-) (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54565: Good good. Ty. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54541: I second that. Ty (3 years, 1 month ago)

William F @ #54553: Bit much mate (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54564: Nothing wrong with it. I got two groups and Mtrn. You could make that group easier with Cmpng, Dctr, or Pthkhybr which are easier to guess and better known ( to me at least ). And the Hym group seems out of place with the others. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54560: Very bizarre mix. There’s at least one that you will get in here St John, and I imagine one that will annoy you. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Midge @ #54564: Total rubbish. Impossible. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54559: Oh how annoying that I gave up. It’s been so long that I forgot about that one and couldn’t get anything. Hats off though, very clever. You deserve a rest! (3 years, 1 month ago)

pog @ #36889: pog (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54558: My knowledge nowhere near enough to get this. I only knew one clue and guessed one other that might go with it. Nice ideas though. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Langers @ #54544: Really good - solved it, but even when I had the first 3 groups, it took a minute to get the 'back' answer (3 years, 1 month ago)

Midge @ #54553: I kind of enjoyed it, even though I failed to get all the lines and links (two lines and three links). The 'Trivial' line was total crap though. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54554: Sorry Langers. It’s normal to break the words in random places in these style grids, and I followed the pattern of capitalisation only at the beginning of each clue ( I realise that lower case ‘l’s [els] can be mistaken for capital ‘i’s [eyes] though ). I would have capitalised the whole lot but some people don’t like that either so it’s hard to please everyone. Hope you still enjoyed some ( tip - I just refresh if I think I’ve almost got it but need more time ) (3 years, 1 month ago)

TRIFFIK @ #54559: I reckon this should go in Fiendish as well!! Very clever, well done! (3 years, 1 month ago)

starfairy @ #54559: One of your most memorable grids for me was this type. And now there's Manky .... :D, TY (3 years, 1 month ago)

Langers @ #54554: May have had half a chance if the words broke in the right places or if capitalisation matched! I realised they were films, but would have needed two days to work them all out! (3 years, 1 month ago)

St John @ #54555: That's my lot for today. Remember, if you learn one new thing each day, then your skul bone wil be ful by the time you is owld. Have fun everyone, and play nicely :-) (3 years, 1 month ago)

Langers @ #54559: I reckon that goes in the fiendish category! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Core Crew @ #54554: Works great now :) (3 years, 1 month ago)

Langers @ #54551: Original and challenging - enjoyed this one (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54556: Easy peasy, you didn’t dupe me. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Core Crew @ #54556: Very funny :) (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54555: Gave it a refresh as I didn’t want to waste your hard work and got full marks on second attempt. I see you sneaked in sou. Are you sure you aren’t a teacher? (3 years, 1 month ago)

St John @ #54554: That is a bit better/neater. As I only got the one line before , and now you take that from me. If I was not paranoid I might assume a little payback! However I am not [any more] and struggled I saw two from each, [definitely giving up my other moniker] Nice one Fam (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54554: If you came late to this good for you as I’ve completely changed it and hopefully corrected mistakes ( tell me if not ). It’s supposed to be easy and accessible with an extra link to find. This is a totally different grid now St John, so you won’t get lost in the M room. I’ll use that in another now though, thanks! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54554: Sorry, I’ve completely changed this now, so comments are going to seem crazy. Should have decided first then posted but I did it on the fly. Must try harder. (3 years, 1 month ago)

St John @ #54555: a slight reworking (3 years, 1 month ago)

Malcolm @ #54552: sounds a bit like a weak connection (3 years, 1 month ago)

starfairy @ #54554: No, no, not too easy! (Edit: add a T and lose an N on Hshn... and add a T on Hbck ... ?) (3 years, 1 month ago)

Ant @ #54554: I got the cars link but nothing else, perhaps because a number of clues are missing random consonants e.g. Hclrfmny should begin with a T. I also think if you're going to do three groups of films, you might as well go the whole hog and do four groups. (3 years, 1 month ago)

fgddfg @ #53688: ok (3 years, 1 month ago)

St John @ #54554: 5*, - not for me you did not. However I saw M and stayed in that room, so no wonder I only got 2/10 (3 years, 1 month ago)

Antny @ #54546: Tricky grid, some explanations would be nice in the answers so it's clearer what you were thinking. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54515: (3 years, 1 month ago)

St John @ #54515: Fam, if it accept salt, it will accept salamander, stromboli etc, as the grid setter has it set up accept s,sa, etc.. so all that is needed is the first letter. Tough why you entered salt is a mystery (3 years, 1 month ago)

poop @ #32645: replace the first letter with "tw"? You can make any words fit if you take some letters away and replace them with other letters. The point of this is to find the connection not find what the connection would be if they were other words (3 years, 1 month ago)

bloss @ #54476: clever, but I needed more time! (3 years, 1 month ago)

TheBogeyman @ #48818: I have three words for this grid. The first two are "piece of" and you can guess the third yourself. One answer is wrong entirely and the other three don't match even when typed correctly. Back to the drawing board you go. (3 years, 1 month ago)

bigz @ #54024: Lucy must have double vision. I only see one. Five minutes would have been kind. Wouldn't have done me much good but would have been kinder than 3 minutes. This was a fiendish board. (3 years, 1 month ago)

bloss @ #54480: fun! (3 years, 1 month ago)

bigz @ #54018: Very well constructed. Very difficult. Few will get the Anne of Green Gables group except by process of elimination. (3 years, 1 month ago)

TheBogeyman @ #54003: The nonsense words group is an absolute joke. What the **** do those piles of poo have to do with the answer? A grid you won't score maximum points on unless you wrote the grid. Pathetic. (3 years, 1 month ago)

TheBogeyman @ #54492: Bugger that was hard. Got the groups but a tough one for a non-Aussie to work from. (3 years, 1 month ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54477: I got 7/10, missed the Cowboy group. Took a guess with nationalities, ended badly. A very good grid. Thank you for posting! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Dark Knight @ #54479: Trifle did not accept trifle. (3 years, 1 month ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54480: Excellent grid. I saw two groups immediately, and worked out the other two. Dairylea, I've only heard of through Graham Norton stories. Very clever, thank you! (3 years, 1 month ago)

St John @ #54480: Ditto (3 years, 1 month ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54476: My American English nearly cost me the Vat group. I was racking my brain going through relationships, and there it was. Very nice, thank you! (3 years, 1 month ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54368: Nice grid. Second was a good clue, thank you! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Myrion @ #23323: It took me 15sec to find the four groups, because they were all very distinct with only "Myst" belonging to two groups. (3 years, 1 month ago)

stan @ #54476: couldn't find the gran but got the others, thanks for making my brain work hard (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54479: Bit of fun. Ty. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54476: Ok, forgiven, but only because it was actually quite satisfying to persevere with it and finally get it 🙂 I didn’t actually clock on to your clue. I thought it was a joking reference to you having time to post grids because you didn’t have family around. I thought of the possible connection after solving two lines. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Miss Slink @ #54477: I don't think it's too obscure (surely the kind of people who play quizzes like this are also the sort of people who are culturally aware enough to have at least heard of most of the films here), but the issue with grids where all the links are essentially the same is that once you've worked out the first two groups, it's very easy to figure out the rest. Not bad for a first grid, though! Would like to see how you try one with more varied connections. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54477: Even if you don’t know all the titles you can take a punt. (3 years, 1 month ago)

St John @ #54476: *go back (3 years, 1 month ago)

St John @ #54476: Sorry Fam, I started with an insect [homophone] but realised it was too close to the geriatric, so changed [after submitting ] to the more conventional option. I was hoping to do it before anyone played To be fair I did leave a clue. That was the reason I could not go ack, never want to be mean [well not on purpose anyway] forgiven? (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54477: Fun and I got confetti so it’s a 10/10 from me! I’m not a movie buff so it was pitched just about right. Thanks for posting. (3 years, 1 month ago)

d @ #54477: Oh man you've never seen Argento? You're in for a treat. Suspiria and Deep Red are two of the best horror/thriller movies ever imo. He's kind of the godfather of Giallo which is an italian horror style that was very influential. Suspiria was also remade recently and while it's definitely polarizing I enjoyed it quite a bit. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54476: Ooh you absolute rotter! I had to refresh about 10 times but I can be a stubborn so and so, so I solved it in the end! Thought there might be a theme so that helped. I got two lines fairly quickly but the short words are fiendish. Is that why you changed one of the lines btw? Did it not fit the theme? You’re still a rotter. (3 years, 1 month ago)

St John @ #54476: No 😛 (3 years, 1 month ago)

St John @ #54476: Let me think about it (3 years, 1 month ago)

MovieBuff @ #54477: 4/10 for me, I am going to have to change my moniker - skolimowski? argento? duke etc - not familiar [never heard off] these directors. ty for the challenge (3 years, 1 month ago)

Aetees @ #54468: Good grid, not too hard. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54476: St John - have you just edited this? I had two lines then refreshed and now I can only find one! If you have, change it back! - remember how difficult you made your last one. If you haven’t, call me an ambulance! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #8387: ……… indeed (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54468: The stretch is the beauty and is what makes me smile 😄 By that stage you’ve probably got the other three groups so this has a couple of silly ones. Were you not bothered by Letsby? 😂 (3 years, 1 month ago)

ross davison @ #8387: Very clever............ (3 years, 1 month ago)

DBH @ #54468: I love the Walls by this compiler. But I do have lodge a small protest at 'Ave Maria'. As Ave has a completely different meaning here, i.e. not short for Avenue, it's a bit of a stretch. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54473: Well, I found Ramadan and spent the rest of the time trying to find hidden words. When they’re there I miss them, and when they’re not I’m in with both feet 😣 (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54472: Such a friendly looking grid. So fiendish to try to work out. Just 2/10 for me. Very good! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54471: Very good. Kicking myself for missing two connections. Could only think of Lady. Class. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54468: Haha, I almost didn’t get the last connection but I knew Fifth and then said Letsby in my head and laughed and imagined your mirth when you thought of it 😄 Fast fun grid! (3 years, 1 month ago)

TRIFFIK @ #54468: That was fun! TY (3 years, 1 month ago)

St John @ #54467: and the difference was? Do you know how to edit a grid without re-submitting? Check your emails [inc spam if nec] there is a way there to edit. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54462: Brilliant StinkyPete! It took me 3 refreshes before I could get them all and put them in the right groups ( with the crossovers too ). Some tricky ones but great fun. Thanks. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54461: Thanks Midge. Managed two lines but the letters ones always fox me. My mind doesn’t seem to want to do that next step when I haven’t found any other connection. I should have a checklist of things to go through. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Malcontent @ #54443: I don't understand how this wall is supposed to work. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Dark Knight @ #54420: Very nice. I got there with some guesswork. Thanks (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54443: Are the connections supposed to be the same for two groups here Theatrefana? (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54440: Hi Purple. Just so you know, a grid won’t work properly if you have two clues that are the same word. Same for you CJGirlGeek. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Freddgar @ #54442: Well done, I really enjoy these type of grids. I know what to look for, finding it...well that's another matter 😉 You win 10-4. More please, thanks for posting. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54442: If I didn’t know the form I probably wouldn’t get these but that knowledge makes the resolution attainable and the challenge enjoyable. Got there but the purple line was only by default as I only knew p. Thanks for setting! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Twitcher @ #54442: Outstanding! This might be my favourite ever grid. Sequences and the wall combined - yes please! Well done and thanks :) (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54439: Your skill in setting is exponentially higher than my skill in solving. I love seeing the solution afterwards and doing my own easy version once I sneak a peak at the connection then go back to the clues to find/work out the example. Thank you! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54420: Thanks St John and WV. I must admit that when setting these I sometimes go through several iterations as I think the solution is too obvious. Maybe I try too much to disguise. I’ve got an easier version which I might try out in a few weeks so keep your eyes peeled :-). (3 years, 1 month ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54401: Once you see it, and everything clicks, it's a happy feeling. Thanks! (3 years, 1 month ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54407: Nice clues, St John! I actually got three connections. I missed the Oriental Finishers (grrr, I watch that one!) group; but had a lot of fun, thank you! (3 years, 1 month ago)

St John @ #54417: It is most definitely buff not bluff. (3 years, 1 month ago)

St John @ #54420: Ooer! Firstly I got 0. Now that's perfectly fine but I take exemption at the France item, they try to claim the Yorkshire pudding was theirs and now the cooking pot! It is a well know phrase " them that eats most puds gets more meat" A way of filling the bellies more cheaply. But as was said in northern parts of Yorkshire when they saw the pot was, is there "no mare meet" hence the origin. That's my story and I am sticking to it. -- Nicely done Fam, had fun, look forward to more to come! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Bill @ #54425: I tried twice, but there's a bug where it doesn't seem to let the user submit themes for the second group onward. (It's a pity because I noticed all four rows had the same theme, namely "soccer players," though grouping sixteen examples of the same thing into four sets felt rather arbitrary.)

Notamedium @ #54425: No (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54417: I thought that too Christine but if you google it, it explains it should be buff but it has become misquoted as bluff over time due to mishearing or possibly due to alliteration with ‘blind’. (3 years, 1 month ago)

St John @ #54351: One of those grids that pus people off at first sight, it did for me but I though OK lets see where this goes. I saw that the setter had presented a dozen times before Eng/Dutch. I quickly recognised three monetary and three Cretan and worked on those so I finally solved the wall through a bit of hit and miss. / / ^ etc did not get nor & etc. Think because they are singular the programme increases the size and this is a bit off-putting for me at least (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54352: Hi Endurita, I’m not hot on lyrics so probably not the best judge. I know all of these songs but probably wouldn’t have got it regardless. All I could say is that a setter it often seems obvious but you can afford to make it easier. Say if you had Eleanor, rice, church, wedding, that might be easier for someone who knows that song then they know they are trying to find words in lyrics to songs. For me you could have put Jack, Stan, Roy and Gus and I might have put them together then guessed why or tried to remember the artist. Hope this helps. (3 years, 1 month ago)

St John @ #54352: Really tough, there was no indication as to what the theme was about. Well known they may all be but?? A perfect example of something looking [and hearing] familiar to the setter and assuming the player will get that. Legit grid but "an in" would help with the quality. Yup 3* (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54330: Valid, but just personal preference - these ones drive me mad 😖 Went round in circles for ages thinking pizzas, animals etc and ended up with 2/10. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54336: Brilliant and complex as ever! Obviously only managed 2/10. Knew about the Aztecs but not what EPT stood for or the other facts. Are you watching her on Taskmaster? Another fact is that she had not learnt to ride a bike until the show. Too busy being supremely intelligent! Thanks WV! (3 years, 1 month ago)

St John @ #54337: Oh OK, As has been said many times, a grid looks so much easier, more obvious when you set the puzzle. Find it difficult to get the level just right, either banally obvious or too intricate. Still learning, thanks you two for the feedback. (3 years, 1 month ago)

St John @ #54331: Maybe I will leave this type to others🙄 (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54331: Wow, did you set out to make this fiendishly difficult? 😳 I could only make out two clues before the grid resolved and they weren’t even in the same group so I wondered whether you were taking this to another level with groups of rhyming words within words. Failed miserably, 2/10, but learnt 3 new words! Ty. (3 years, 1 month ago)

TPoser @ #54334: Completely failed at that. The categories were a bit broader than I was expecting for this style of quiz. Very tough (3 years, 1 month ago)

Maybe the same for politicians.

TPoser @ #54266: Don't think this gives a unique solution, 3 and 13 could be switched. But still enjoyed the grid (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54282: At least I got this one. You’re making me strain my eyes! :-) (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54291: Tough ones this morning! Got Fuji, thought of Miso but not enough, lost my way. Ty. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54292: Really enjoyable. Clever ideas. Bravo! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Gridlington @ #54269: Thank you all! Yes, I got the inspiration from Lorna. If you click on my name in the list of grids, it will list all my grids, of which a few of the later ones are in this style 😁 (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54277: A big fat zero for me Hamburger. I think it was a little mean with the obscure terms. It was interesting to learn of Ivy League in that group though. I’ll add it to Caesar in my fragile memory bank. Ty. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54269: Yes, I’d seen it the other way before but I hadn’t noticed it in this form so I was glad to figure it after initially being baffled. Kind of liked the fluidity of it. Underpits was the way in for me ( but I also initially thought of another link when I saw bootacy next ). (3 years, 1 month ago)

St John @ #54269: a good grid, disada and bootacy I saw fairly quickly ad assumed a common theme, Always foolish to assume! 6/10 for me.. This type of grid has been done many times before, [I've done it myself this way] but they are more usually with . / or [ ] to aid. Lorna, Ducky and Jmelb as well as gridlington are great exponents.

Fam @ #54269: Fantastic idea Gridlington! Don’t know if anyone’s done it before but I haven’t seen it. Took me a while before I could see what was going on ( you just need that first way in ) but I loved it and managed a 10/10 with one refresh. Thanks ! 5***** (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54260: I think V deserves it this year and I want him to win. Would still like to see H get 8 championships at some point though. This season has been great and it’s good to see him in a real battle. Can’t wait for next year with Russell either. Wonder how long before sparks fly. Hamilton’s definitely going to feel the squeeze. And Norris, who couldn’t want to see him get his first win! (3 years, 1 month ago)

St John @ #54260: Said before [Freeway] it would be H, but now getting the feeling that this could be V's year. Can't wait for next year with Russell alongside and maybe even Norris with a stronger McLaren? (3 years, 1 month ago)

Greg Hurst @ #54255: Range is technically not an average but a measure of dispersion. Think 'statistical descriptions of data' is more appropriate? Otherwise fun. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Kit @ #54231: That was, indeed, fiendish. Got two groups and it made me work hard to get even that many! Thanks for the challenge! (3 years, 1 month ago)

misof @ #48149: Vodka is not a term for water, in the sense that IRL nobody actually says "vodka" and means water. Grammatically, the word "vodka" is a diminutive formed from the word for water, just like "Tommy" is a little Tom and a booklet is a little book, so it syntactically does represent a word akin to "little water". But that's not how the word is used. Vodka is the alcohol, voda is water. The puzzle just has it wrong. (3 years, 1 month ago)

bigz @ #53907: The pearl, etc., line is nonsense. It is merely what's left once you figure out the other 3. Appears to be a total disconnect. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54242: Ahh, I hadn’t but I think I do now. A bit tricky spotting you. (3 years, 1 month ago)

bigz @ #53895: Too niche and half the groups just fall into place. Red herrings only for the blocks and metals. Not really very well constructed. (3 years, 1 month ago)

St John @ #54242: Hi Fam - to be honest I have not seen the grid of the day alter as quickly as this before [seldom there]. I do not know how the system works, it may be the number of hits as well as quality ratings. The programme used to show the number of times a grid had been accessed, but this has been gone a while now. Pick up on the ornithology? (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54242: This one doesn’t come across as one of yours St John because of the common themes. A Jones though, I’ll take that! You’ve been on here a while St John - has the grid of the day/week always changed throughout the day? (3 years, 1 month ago)

St John @ #54243: Nice grid - watch out for the spell checkers. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54239: Given you 5* for A dee doo dah alone. Thanks! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54233: Okay, so extra challenge for someone who is reading the comments before attempting the grid, and in the knowledge that there is more than one unique solution - strategise to ensure you reach the solution as set by the setter before running out of lives. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Freddgar @ #54236: Mouse Mouse ? Miny should be Minnie (3 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #54233: In other words, good except it's not a grid, so it gets 1*. Also- and I Don't blame you for this- the chocolate group has been done to death over the years... (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54233: Ah Barry, that was why I was finding it difficult 😄 (3 years, 1 month ago)

David @ #54231: 2/10 for me too. Tricky one. Thanks. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54233: Actually harder than it first looks if you just tap away merrily, because of so many crossovers. Better to strategise first but I got there on my last life. Ty ( just a friendly tip for future grids - include the shortest version of your answer in the acceptable answers eg cats, papers ) (3 years, 1 month ago)

Barry @ #54233: Good except that it doesn't have ONE unique solution. You could swap 'Milky Way' into the space category and put galaxy, star or mars in the chocolate category. Red-herrings are fair, but grids should have only one possible solution. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Ray Ven @ #54168: @BernardB - D E V I L- five letters in sequence, how you read them is up to you. - That you have not heard of DeVilbiss is not an issue, it clearly fits with other clues. Trick or Treat is a singular activity and not two and therefore is reasonable for a category. If you want just ignore, if you must, just state that you could not solve the puzzle [the overall theme was, I believe reasonably clear] or that you did not like it. PS why not try leaving a positive feedback sometime. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54221: Thanks Hamburger. Don’t think I’d woken up when I did this. Only got one line but all the connections. Always forget Caesar. Ty. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54165: Sorry Nutalie. You could always leave checking the answers until you’ve attempted all the connections, to be on the safe side. But you’re right, I hadn’t thought of that as I hadn’t considered the order that they would be answered in. Just designed as a fun easy one. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Bernard B @ #54168: Trick or Treat is two categories for one line, which is really bad design. And who the hell knows about DevilBiss, which isn't Devil, but actually DeVil (two separate words). Look at the best rated grids and see how they can be difficult but fairer. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Freddgar @ #54161: Nice and easy. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Langers @ #54163: Nice grid - answer for beech, oak, walnut, maple should be trees as well as types of wood (3 years, 1 month ago)

BabyJane @ #54163: I loved this. Intricately planned with cross cutting groups. Thanks for posting. (3 years, 1 month ago)

BabyJane @ #54161: Enjoyable grid thanks (3 years, 1 month ago)

Heauxbeaux @ #54157: Thank you Fam :) It's OK, if people don't like it there's not much we can do about that lol. I wanted to make a pretty challenging grid, so I understand if people don't think it's fun. But honestly, I thought people liked a challenge now and again. Oh well. (3 years, 1 month ago)

chris @ #54127: Excellent grid, not too difficult. (3 years, 1 month ago)

BabyJane @ #54125: This is one of my favourites today. Missed out on one connection, and the Wang group got me stumped as there is a couple in there Ihaven't heard of. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54157: There is no way this should be 3 stars ( currently ). (3 years, 1 month ago)

Malco @ #54157: Very clever, but frustrating rather than enjoyable or satisfyingly challenging. Groups that included a coded version of the link word alongside words that go with it, definitions of it and varieties. Too many layers and leaps of logic to be doable. The oil, gas, coal group was amusing, but at least two things in it required a sideways jump from that wasn't clued. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54160: Must be getting better at these. Saw them all apart from Irish coffee bizarrely, though still got all the groups and links. Amass Acreage stands out a bit. Ty. (3 years, 1 month ago)

BabyJane @ #54160: Didn't spot the Irish coffee group and should have really (3 years, 1 month ago)

BabyJane @ #54096: I enjoyed this a lot (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54157: Man this was brilliant! I was going to refresh as I knew it was going to be clever but I’d exhausted my ideas so I let it resolve before trying to see links. ( Don’t read on if you want to try it with no spoilers ) Spell it group was inspired! I gave up too soon with numbers meaning anything after I looked at the A ones so I missed those clues ( clever on your part ) I guessed there was the ELO group but obviously included the red herring so no joy there. All in all a wonderful complex confusion of energy based red herrings. 2/10 for me and a 10/10 and one of the best grids I’ve done for you. (3 years, 1 month ago)

BabyJane @ #54158: Good quiz. Not convinced on 'crew' fully fitting the group though. (3 years, 1 month ago)

BabyJane @ #54126: Great fun - Thanks for posting (3 years, 1 month ago)

BabyJane @ #54127: Nice and simple after an initial misdirection, good for my tea break (3 years, 1 month ago)

BabyJane @ #54129: I enjoyed this but I'm not as convinced by the More Electric group. (3 years, 1 month ago)

BabyJane @ #54147: I enjoyed this. Did not get the America group though (3 years, 1 month ago)

BabyJane @ #54151: Other than the Springsteen albums those connections were beyond me. Good grid though (3 years, 1 month ago)

BabyJane @ #54155: Nice grid. It took me a while to finish one group as I kept not being able to spot the fourth one, but eventually got 10/10 (3 years, 1 month ago)

wild_biologist @ #51481: One of the favourite walls I've done for a long long time! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Pat @ #54113: Are Richard Osman and Ian Hislop (I presume that's who we are referring to) really "comedians"? I put TV personalities. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54155: Great! These are fun, and easy to construct if anyone else fancies a bash. Tip from my own failings though - don’t try to make it too tricky as it is hard enough when you’re not the setter. (3 years, 1 month ago)

JerseySusanna @ #54127: Clever and original - enjoyed muchly, thanks! (3 years, 1 month ago)

JerseySusanna @ #54155: Brilliant but too much of a challenge today and didn't get the W&G connection. Thank you! (3 years, 1 month ago)

barry womble @ #54117: 5 stars. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Squidily didily @ #53789: Great good fun! (3 years, 1 month ago)

TPoser @ #54149: Very clever. Almost gave up when I realised they were all pokemon. But that was a massive red herring, all clues were purely word play, no knowledge of pokemon required. Brilliant and thoroughly enjoyable, thank you. (3 years, 1 month ago)

barry womble @ #54151: 5 stars. (3 years, 1 month ago)

dave @ #54149: if you like pokemon, brilliant (3 years, 1 month ago)

Dark Knight @ #54128: Clown (3 years, 1 month ago)

Moondog @ #54100: Truly difficult. I enjoyed it, thanks. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Moondog @ #54112: Listen with mother stumped me because I'm too young, I thought it was watch with mother. Great grid. Enjoyed it. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Moondog @ #54119: Now this is a proper grid! Red herrings all over the place and perfectly logical answers at the reveal. I struggled even though I recognised some groups and only got 3/10. The point is I enjoyed it a lot even getting soundly beaten, and learned a few things too. Thanks. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Johnathon @ #54134: Amazing puzzle!!!!! 5 stars (3 years, 1 month ago)

Kaphc @ #54096: Lovely wall with an unusual theme that made it look tricky to start with but in the end was quite straightforward and very enjoyable to solve. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Stuart Fenwick @ #54126: Sorry - but I don't like it. Garner and Ghana are not homophones. You have three surnames for Jennifers and then a nickname for one so not really a pattern. Buy ting/biting a homophone for cold? Certainly not where I'm from and I live in a very cold country!! Thanks for giving it a go but not for me. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54126: Haha! Fun 🙂 ( are you moonlighting StJohn 😄? ) (3 years, 1 month ago)

misof @ #43870: The -ic group is just bad. In three of them you are just forming an adjective from a noun, in the fourth one you aren't. And in the extra one the clue isn't even a valid word. The rest of the grid is very nice, but this was an eyesore. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Nighteyes @ #54104: Clubs and banks more or less worked, but not the other two. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Freddgar @ #54120: Very good wall, nice spread of subjects. Yes, Artists it is 😁 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Freddgar @ #54125: Very good, surprised I solved the wall so quickly. Failed on the Re row. You win 10-7 Thanks for posting. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #41931: @Puzzgrid, not relating to this grid but are you aware that grid of the day and grid of the week are changing several times within the same day now? ( or has that always been the case ) (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #41931: Great cheerful grid! (3 years, 1 month ago)

misof @ #41931: 10/10 but had to work for it. Very clean and enjoyable. Rhyming names were the first group I found and i was a bit surprised that it really was an intended group :) (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54119: Cool grid! Lots of stuff I didn’t know but at least I got the soba line and I should have seen the Heisenberg connection since I knew the individual clues. Ty. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fulmah @ #54120: you got it (3 years, 1 month ago)

scarfer @ #42198: such a fun one (3 years, 1 month ago)

Lynn Loveday @ #53752: 🤷‍♀️ who knows no one knows (3 years, 1 month ago)

misof @ #52792: I knew all the groups. Got only 1 out of my 4 descriptions accepted :/ (3 years, 1 month ago)

Ant @ #54096: Alas, too many unfamiliar terms for me, so never really got anywhere. I was able to guess at the groups, but I reckon extensive general knowledge or google at hand to really sort this out. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Aetees @ #54096: Very nice (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54113: Are tarot cards more popular than I would have imagined as they come up a lot on here and I would never spot them. That and minecraft, pokemon, or any video games connections :-) Liked the rest of the groups and I was lost with all the red herrings. Ty. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54112: Brilliant Fulmah! I almost got it all. Very clever. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Ace of spies @ #51084: Ise group a bit weak (3 years, 1 month ago)

Bagsy33 @ #54104: No logic to the clues which makes it impossible to solve (other than wild leaps of faith) - not my bag I'm afraid (3 years, 1 month ago)

Hampton @ #54104: Good grid (3 years, 1 month ago)

starfairy @ #54104: I really enjoyed it. Easy way in that explained the grid, then fine grading of difficulty through to that tricky wood shop line! TY :) (3 years, 1 month ago)

pogrybalk76 @ #54096: Lots of fun! managed to get the groups very quickly and made a lucky guess for the fish group connection for 10/10 (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54109: Interesting groups. Something new. Ty. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54104: Links were good enough but clues too obscure to get to them for me I’m afraid. How would you jump from wood shop or arboretum to the answer? (3 years, 1 month ago)

pogrybalk76 @ #54082: 'letter' should be allowed for the letters group (3 years, 1 month ago)

F @ #54096: Very pleasing. Not super hard but still extremely satisfying to complete. (3 years, 1 month ago)

F @ #54097: Really liked this but I feel that 'boobies' being pluralised while the other bird species were in the singular was not quite playing fair. (3 years, 1 month ago)

DanM @ #54087: need to accept pop musician as answer to homonym one (3 years, 1 month ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54088: MRH, don't forget 'in Troy' that bit is very important (3 years, 1 month ago)

MRH @ #54088: Too American for us Brits. However 12 ounces does not equal a pound unless you meant three quarters of a pound, thereby making it even more obscure. (3 years, 1 month ago)

MRH @ #54100: Love these 7/10 (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54082: Why put the letters group in an otherwise good grid? (3 years, 1 month ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54100: Love missing vowels grids. Hadn't heard of a couple of these, so was happy to get two lines and three connections. Thanks! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Freddgar @ #54084: Very good wall, I solved all but one row by guesswork. You win 10-5 Thanks for posting (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54101: Without seeing them side by side I don’t know if this is exactly the same as your other grid Bob, but did you know that you can alter them using the link in your email without having to re-enter the whole grid. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54100: Nice one StinkyPete! Without the clue, these are so much harder than on the tv show but lots of fun. I tried constructing one but made it too difficult. Managed two lines here and most of the answers once I sneaked a peak at the connection. Thanks! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Freddgar @ #54100: Love these vowelless walls. Failed on the ZEBL L row. You might want to remove the E though 😉 You win 10-7 Great grid. Thanks for posting. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54096: Nice LittleQuill! 5 words I wasn’t familiar with made it a pleasant challenge. Nice idea. Thanks! (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #54088: Far too tough for me so I’ve stuck it in the fiendish category ( I think some people mark down when they don’t get it ). I could only work out 4 clues so not enough to get categories. I don’t know a certain language and some clues would be easier to get if you were from the US I think. One I’ve never heard of but a quick search says it’s popular in the US. Thanks for posting. (3 years, 1 month ago)

misof @ #24123: "Bobalki" is a very rare spelling for the dumplings (to the extent that as a native Slovak I did not recognize it). The most common name for the food is actually "opekance", that's what you would find in a dictionary. In some regional dialects the food is called "bobáľky" or sometimes "bobaľky" (or "pupáky"). The i instead of y at the end is not grammatical in Slovak - except for maybe one specific dialect that will pronounce the last letter as i instead of y. (3 years, 1 month ago)

David @ #54003: I've read the Gnar group's answer, and remain none the wiser. My reason for grouping them was they were the only nonsense words on the wall. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #53997: Yep, firm but fair. Good to see them, and good to see peeps not downrating them (3 years, 1 month ago)

Freddgar @ #54012: Love these type of walls. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (3 years, 1 month ago)

dgms @ #53999: I liked two groups, but two were impossible for me - never heard of anything in the Manchester orchestra group, only heard of one thing in the County group. (3 years, 1 month ago)

dgms @ #53995: Great grid. I'm trying to work out what UK accent DOESN'T work for those homophones - they work in Geordie, South Yorkshire, London. Not sure about Scouse. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Martin @ #54002: The fruit group is a bit hard to define. Brands that are fruit? Might have been better to have raspberry instead of kiwi, so that they're all tech brands. (3 years, 1 month ago)

dgms @ #54013: Really clever, but one group was too multilayered for me to find the link, even when the group was lined up. (3 years, 1 month ago)

dgms @ #54014: This is definitely the fiendish. The spool group was very clever, but I don't know how anyone is supposed to get the curves group, or see the link even after it's resolved. The clipper and chalice groups look very familiar. (3 years, 1 month ago)

d @ #53963: DBH I understand where you're coming from. However, these players are some of the best known to people with any casual knowledge of the sport and all currently active on popular teams. Point guards may seem overly specific a connection, but I'm pretty confident just 'NBA players' would also be an accepted answer. Also FWIW PG is probably the position with the broadest casual awareness because of their central role in initiating offense, so if there were any position to use it's probably the best option. (3 years, 1 month ago)

d @ #53981: Managed to solve the wall on the second to last guess with 4 sec left even though I only spotted two connections. The groups I missed (NATO and double meanings) were fiendish indeed. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Fam @ #53925: Thanks Jollycorpse. I realised afterwards that it was you who had set your first picture grid a few weeks ago so I hope you don’t mind, as then, any remarks which are in good spirit. Personally I think the key with the picture grids is finding the images which most clearly convey the clue, without the need for red herrings. For example, I got your taxi clue and the picture of the bull is particularly appropriate, I just didn’t see the connection. But I think you could get away with a less crafty picture than the map, and a more direct image than the windows one ( eg nail**** or paper**** ). Just personal opinion though. Please keep posting them 😀 (3 years, 2 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #53925: Thanks, Fam. No option on the edit page for quitting early or readjusting the time limit unfortunately. The map is the biggest herring here, perhaps too clever for its own good... (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53925: Had fun trying to work this out but didn’t get very far. Got the microphone line. Hammer line is actually very clear, I just missed one of the clues, and the deer line is clever. The only line that didn’t come across as clearly for me was the last one as I incorrectly thought the map element was significant for that clue, and I didn’t guess what the windows picture represented. Thanks for posting as I’m sure these picture grids take time! Do they still give you the option, as the setter, to include a ‘give up’ function for the person doing the grid? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Est289 @ #53910: Well done, Mister Tom (south of the border!) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #53910: Even south of the border that wasn't taking long ;-) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Est289 @ #53657: Loved it! Thanks! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Est289 @ #53911: Nice one! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Kit @ #53874: I needed another hour or two for any hope with this one! Good but those clues were decidedly puzzlers! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Est289 @ #53901: Stumped by this grid! Well done! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Est289 @ #53903: Really liked this grid! Thank you! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #53903: Nice pm red herring. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53907: What’s the connection on the Pearl line please? You have lots of different words in the description. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Freddgar @ #53903: Very good grid, nice and easy. Thanks for posting (3 years, 2 months ago)

Tirosh @ #53856: @Phil Oh interesting!!! I'll add that as a possibility! Thanks for letting me know, and good catch! (3 years, 2 months ago)

bloss @ #53904: cool! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Aladdin @ #46035: Fiendish (3 years, 2 months ago)

Aladdin @ #46601: Too obscure for me (3 years, 2 months ago)

Aladdin @ #47316: Petre surely? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53904: Wow, went from thinking I would get nowhere and giving up, to getting confetti with 6 seconds left on the clock. Clever idea and a nice, if challenging for me, contrast to more typical grids. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

d @ #53901: I recognized pretty much all the connections but the red herrings were layered so thick I didn't get any groups so I ended up with 4/10. Well made. (3 years, 2 months ago)

d @ #53874: 7/10 but satisfying as hell. Keep em coming WV! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Est289 @ #53895: Nothing wrong with the grid - I just couldn't solve it. Well done. (3 years, 2 months ago)

mateo @ #53895: Really bad grid. Sorry (3 years, 2 months ago)

Wtf @ #53861: A nit is an egg not a louse, tempAH is not a homophone of tempER, the song is do-re-mi, and who is rowland?, bad,bad,bad (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #53687: MIsspelled Hajib Otherwise well made grid. Enough disconnects to run out the clock. (3 years, 2 months ago)

chris chapman @ #15242: Liked that one. Fairly easy 10 for me (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53861: I enjoyed that more than your last sequence wall. It's a shame some things are too long for the squares, but good overall. Thank you. (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #53669: David, the creator is correct. Norman, Angevin, Plantagenet, Lancaster... (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53885: Very good. Got there eventually. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Aetees @ #53842: Well my Twice likes to send me down completely the wrong road but excellent all the same. (3 years, 2 months ago)

MovieBuff @ #53842: This piper's son found it a jewellery of a puzz, now I fancy a cup of coffee. :-) (3 years, 2 months ago)

MovieBuff @ #53884: I was oh so close but so many options. Very clever and fiendish unless you get a lucky early line. A true challenge, thank you (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53884: This is hard enough even when it’s sorted into rows. I didn’t even attempt it beforehand because these short word puzzles are the hardest for me. (3 years, 2 months ago)

MovieBuff @ #53865: From the collection? :-) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hamburger @ #53869: Nice grid, cheers. (3 years, 2 months ago)

bloss @ #53842: good theme! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Buzzelli @ #53874: I got 1, loved tik-tok [did not get it tll revel] extremely cryptic, alpha centauri, betelguese, sol, sirius, rigel. Did I mention I GOT 1 big happy (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53882: Nice Buzzelli. Just missed the connection for the Alfie line. I was thinking Alfie Boe. (3 years, 2 months ago)

scarfer @ #53861: such a fun one!! thank you (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53879: Very good, got two lines and all four groups. Thanks! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hamburger @ #53872: Excellent grid. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hamburger @ #53874: These are cool. I'm not very good at them but I always enjoy seeing the solutions. Cheers. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53874: Very good - Lorna good (that is a compliment!) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Roy @ #53550: (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53865: I only got two points, but knew nine of the clues, so I will take a little pride. As a Wizard of Oz fan, I loved the inclusion of Frances Gumm. Thank you! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hamburger @ #53842: Great grid. Tom-Tom is also a drum. Cheers. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53878: Nice one TimC. Thanks! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53879: Thanks Hamburger! Fun grid and tricky enough to still be pleased when I got it. You kindly threw in a couple of ‘ins’. (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53842: Excellent! it took me a minute to see what was happening, but then an 'aha' moment struck, and I got my confetti. Thank you! (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53843: Wood, Wort? I see what you did there, very clever. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Est289 @ #53859: Tricky but good! (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53874: Thanks Fam, I like making more complex grids, and I can tell you, these are the taxing ones! But once they're done, they're done. I'm happy you enjoy these! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Sharon @ #53752: Got a bit confused, not sure what the turnip has to do with anything and in our house Santa eats mince pies and drinks sherry not milk :) But did it with 56 secs to spare so bring it on Barry!! (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53874: (3 years, 2 months ago)

Nicky @ #53822: Satisfying start to the day! Ta. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Terry @ #53869: I got the citrus fruit group straight away, but struggled with the others. One criticism - I'm not so sure Cate Blanchett was actually born in Spain. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53863: Bah, you totally got me. Lots of similar terms to confuse. Good grid. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Terry @ #53838: Ant - You are incorrect in what you say, as Huw Edwards doesn't actually have a face. Its CGI'd for the telly. And Rita C is in fact completely bald, but wears a wig. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53872: Only managed 2/10 but great wall. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Kruptos J @ #53842: Nicely done TY (3 years, 2 months ago)

Kruptos J @ #53843: Liked it but did you have a nightcap?? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Kruptos J @ #53833: A nicely challenging version. This style has also been practiced earlier and in several incarnations so Stjohn's is a welcome take on the style too. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53811: I will see if it is on youtube (3 years, 2 months ago)

looseefred @ #53861: A series within a wall, fiendish indeed. Had to learn cryptic crossword solving within a 3 minute timer, managed a meagre 2 points! (3 years, 2 months ago)

phil @ #53856: Interestingly, "___ tight" is an alternate solution for the "___ dry" category — air-tight, high and tight (military haircut), hang tight, hand-tight (as opposed to wrench-tight). (3 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #53855: Good work. I got 7/10 (3 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #53859: I liked it, even though I only scored 5 (3 years, 2 months ago)

Omegaman @ #53769: Well it worked for me, thank you. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53861: Hard to read - clues don't fit in boxes and letters are missing. Still doable, and fun clues, but please edit. (3 years, 2 months ago)

AMX @ #28438: Love it LinkGrid! Science & Words: That's my fructose based sublimation, infant!! :D (3 years, 2 months ago)

TPoser @ #31976: Excellent and inventive (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53859: Surprised myself by getting that! Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #53638: Glad so many know the stops on the Glasgow underground London, OK; Paris, passable; about any other city, you gotta be kidding. (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #53631: Locksley. Not smoked salmon. Locksley. (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #53630: Missing one L in Sevilla Throws the group off as it is either a neologism or a purposeful misspelling. Difficult and not good. (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #53629: Chrysler isn't Chrysler any more. And, it's only number 7 worldwide. If you were going to go brands, you could have picked better. Nice confustion with the states and rivers. Not much confusion otherwise. (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #53628: Not tough and just plain bad. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53847: Great! Think it might be my first confetti of the day ( though sometimes I skip it anyway as I can’t be bothered typing the connections). You seem to have set off a bit of a flurry of this style grid today 😀 (3 years, 2 months ago)

scarfer @ #53846: I really enjoyed this one. fab job! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Est289 @ #53851: Thanks! (3 years, 2 months ago)

dgms @ #53846: Thanks (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53844: @buzzelli thanks for the explanations. There were4 things I'd never heard of (2 in 1 group) and they would have bugged me.@fam Thanks for asking. (3 years, 2 months ago)

spoon @ #53807: This was good. Took me a bit to get the ruck category (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53846: Thanks. I think the clues are pretty good. Got most of them and thought the bread and jam clue was good even though I missed it. Only thing that threw me was that one of the lines started on a two letter word, and through my own stupidity I confused D with M. Wd. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53844: Scraped 10. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53842: Great fun, thanks. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53846: Ok, but it needs editing/refining. Some nice clues/themes though. Take a look at few other sequence walls. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Matt @ #53828: Very good - challenging (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53844: Ahh, thanks Buzzelli. Kind of you to add that. Had some of them, like the scamp line for example, and the yolk clue which I loved, but definitely ignorant on some of the others. Ty. Look forward to more. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53846: Very Good ideas, but clues are too wordy, and a couple are really badly written. I still managed ten though. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Matt @ #53833: Superb! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #53822: Yes! Loved this one! :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Buzzelli @ #53844: Hope this helps (3 years, 2 months ago)

Freddgar @ #53842: Very good! 10s all round Thanks for posting (3 years, 2 months ago)

Matt @ #53829: I only knew 'hour' from its group, stumped by the rest. Happy with 7/10 (3 years, 2 months ago)

Est289 @ #53774: Liked it! Thanks! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Est289 @ #53789: Brilliant! Really enjoyed this! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Est289 @ #53827: That was great! Thank you! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Est289 @ #53829: Liked it! Thanks! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53713: This one was good too. Put the Claire group together but didn’t know connection. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53844: This was good. Could see where you were going but couldn’t get all the clues. Last two were partly guessed. Looked up some stuff but would be nice if you could give brief explanations of stuff that can’t be looked up directly. Thanks for posting. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Est289 @ #53842: Great grid! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53833: @StJohn, so I’ve fallen prey to the wacky nonsense you usually experience so if you or anyone else reads something out of character it’s probably not me 🙂 @Pookington, wow you’re tough on yourself. Have you been watching VCM on Taskmaster? It’s brilliant. Her interaction with Alan Davies on a task last week was hilarious. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53843: Simply marvellous. Though I missed your namesake and only got as far as John Denver leaving. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #53833: Ach, this one was annoying, because I had to take points away from myself. I technically guessed the "Barton" line correctly, but because I hadn't really understood the clues, I decided that if I was actually a contestant on OC, Victoria would not have given me the points. Therefore I didn't feel that I could give them to myself. So I got 7. Excellent grid! :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

TRIFFIK @ #53843: That was fun! TY (3 years, 2 months ago)

TRIFFIK @ #53842: TomTom - hahaha. Enjoyed that, ty (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #53829: Thought I was never going to get this one, but then it all suddenly fell into place, and I scored 10! Umm...the "West" clue is a bit dark, isn't it? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53833: Okay, ignore my previous post. I've changed my mind, and no longer want to see this kind of grid. (3 years, 2 months ago)

O @ #53833: Right on Charlie Brown! St.John - you are a disgrace! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Charlie Brown @ #53833: Yes, I agree with Mixu Paatelainen and Malcolm Tent. C'mon, Ian St,John, get your facts right! (3 years, 2 months ago)

sas @ #53821: I'd say too many red herrings for the tops -- guernsey is also a type of knitwear, also, not all knitwear is associated with tank top or sweaters -- I would allow more options such as 'warm outwear' or 'clothing for torso' (3 years, 2 months ago)

Mixu Paatelainen @ #53833: Okay - I have issue with this grid. An ape is NOT a monkey. A person from Finland is a Finn, not a Fin. Interesting try - but doesn't work. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Ant @ #53838: The newscasters could all go in each of the categories, so there are 24 possible correct groupings. For these to work you need have a single correct grouping, or at least a clearly most obvious one! Otherwise, I like the ideas. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Boris Johntone @ #53838: Brillo-pads (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53833: Great, but took me so long to read all the clues I had to start again and I still only had 11 seconds left after solving. The centre of Offaly is FA or the gap between F and A, which delayed me a little. (3 years, 2 months ago)

C3PO @ #53838: Difficult, but pretty decent. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53824: @Starfairy - thanks! I've edited now. (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53833: Nicely Done! I got 7/10, and in the fourth group was trying to work out the clues around fin, but the fourth letter eluded me. Good variety of clues and a fun grid, thank you! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Cecelia S @ #53838: Super grid. Thanks (3 years, 2 months ago)

3 *** @ #53833: "knocked up" as they say, and I/we am/are - me, myself and I. My name went toxic for some reason. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Tabitha @ #53828: Brilliant concept (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53833: Well, it was a valiant and enjoyable effort. You must have had one on the construction line as otherwise you knocked that up very quickly. Btw, do you think you should see someone about your split personalities? :-) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hannah @ #53833: @ Fam - I do not think I will, this is WVPuzz's domain. I think one from me is sufficient, I do not wish to compete [be shown up] or dilute the quality of this genre (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53833: Thanks St John. The more the merrier for me with this style. Got all but the See the Sea line but obvious now. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Me @ #53768: Hello (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53833: @WVpuzz, hope you do not mind me having a go? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53828: Thanks WVPuzzler, I may jot down some ideas if some come to me, and credit you if I manage to complete and submit one. I often find with grids that I have a couple of reasonable lines but then struggle with ideas/clues for the others. (3 years, 2 months ago)

JD @ #53744: Need a smaller brush (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53829: Nice little head scratcher Hannah. Got two lines but all the connections immediately once the grid was resolved ( beforehand I had wondered who Anne Barr was ). Wasn’t familiar with the expression, ‘a bum’s *’ but am now. Thanks for the cheers from last night. I can recommend M&S Crémant de Bordeaux if you like a tipple ;-) (3 years, 2 months ago)

starfairy @ #53823: Enjoyed it, especially the Sun line:) Could you put the categories in the answers? I didn't know where some of the names were from. (ADMIN - there was a glitch when I put the fourth answer in and it didn't move through and let me rate it. Thanks) (3 years, 2 months ago)

TR6 @ #53825: so many comic alternatives, well done thank you (3 years, 2 months ago)

starfairy @ #53824: Nice one TY (Edit on the Jack answer?) (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53828: PS...Do try one; they are immensely satisfying when they are finished LOL (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53828: They're sometimes difficult and, yes, I do start from end to beginning. In this grid, for instance, in this grid, the abominable snowman and Broadway musical lines were pretty much done in my head when I sat down to type it up. The other two came fairly quickly, but sometimes you have to wait for inspiration to strike. And sometimes, after I think I've finished, and submitted the grid, I look at it, and say 'nope', and edit it on the fly hoping no one plays it before it's perfected. This one was no exception, and two clues were changed after posting. Their replacements make the grid much better, in my opinion, at least. (3 years, 2 months ago)

starfairy @ #53825: Nice one, real Baron! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Freddgar @ #53829: Nice straightforward grid. 10s all round Thanks for posting (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53828: Haha, yes I noticed you were spacing them out so I’m always thrilled when one pops up. I would try one myself but I don’t think I could do it justice. Are they difficult/time consuming to construct? Do you start with the end word in mind and work back? (3 years, 2 months ago)

starfairy @ #53828: Difficult and fun for us, and spot on from you. TY (I guessed Asbo :D) (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53828: Thanks, Fam. The only real difficulty is coming up with single letter clues and trying to avoid too much repetition. I'm glad you like them, and I think I have a few more in me yet, though, I'm trying to space them out with more conventional grids. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hannah @ #53827: Reminds me of Lisa Stansfield's biggest hit song. thank you (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53828: These are getting trickier WVPuzzler. Are they getting more taxing for you too? Thanks for posting. They’re some of my favourites. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53824: Nice wall. I got stuck trying to fit twixt into the wrong group, then saw why it doesn't fit. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hannah @ #53822: Very pleased to see well constructed grid with a twist 5* [I only scored 1/10 but it did not spoil my enjoyment] thank you (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53816: Fun and crafty mix. Enjoyed it. Thanks (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53822: Enjoy a grid when you don’t work it out entirely but the links seem so obvious once the grid is resolved. Nicely disguised ( for me at least ). Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hannah @ #53782: I changed my mind from the small sonata to a place of libation but forgot to change the grid as can is a word on it's own rather than sona (3 years, 2 months ago)

Vicky @ #11636: Really enjoyed this one :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53782: Good grid. Didn’t get Cava line but the fact that I had Crémant tonight helped with that line. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53512: Where are you St John? Are you going by other names or taking a break? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #53782: What was wrong with sona? It was scarla that was new to me. I've only ever heard it called scarlet fever. But yes - good grid. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dd @ #38245: Too hard and obscure (3 years, 2 months ago)

Vicky @ #2917: I enjoyed this one! :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #53787: Good grid. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53795: Very good. Can't believe I missed the wall group - did it in a grid two days ago. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Tom @ #38231: Enjoyable (3 years, 2 months ago)

Kit @ #53594: That really made me think! Thanks for posting! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53788: Enjoyable, and clever, but too much pop culture knowledge required for me. I scored 7 by guesswork. (3 years, 2 months ago)

dgms @ #53791: Fun. It looks easy but has complications (3 years, 2 months ago)

Susie @ #53727: Hmm...Pumba's a warthog ;-) (3 years, 2 months ago)

BG @ #16796: BGfiendish (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53787: Very nice. Straight forward. Thank you. (3 years, 2 months ago)

dagoba @ #53776: I don't know what you took out, but that was still hard - maybe there are too many long clues for me - my eyes were swimming while I looked for hidden words. I feel I should have seen the groups and links I missed. Clever and I can't argue with the links. Very good. (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #53527: Mellophone and serpent................................. (3 years, 2 months ago)

BG @ #30514: BG thanks. fiendish (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53781: Hard, not fiendish. I got 6. (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #53526: dogleg, maybe last leg, other 2 made no sense got it by sheer luck but no prayer on the leg circuit. (3 years, 2 months ago)

BG @ #52920: thanks (3 years, 2 months ago)

BG @ #44352: it should accept BUNNY. Energizer Bunny (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #53690: nice (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hannah @ #53787: I am a silly moo today, thank you (3 years, 2 months ago)

Freddgar @ #53782: Good grid, but...you might want to swap Sona for can. Thanks for posting (3 years, 2 months ago)

JM @ #53777: The Arsenal players' names are spelled incorrectly - Vieira and Henry (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #53512: Threw me with gin sling. I kept going for shot, not sling. Wasted my clock. As per usual, good job. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Freddgar @ #53787: Excellent grid, nice spread of subjects, only saw 1 red herring. Straightforward, but beat me hands down. You win 10 - 2. Thanks for posting (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hannah @ #53786: I liked that especially the Sahara Desert, East Timor or River Avon line *feud? thank you (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #53499: Certainly tough but solvable. Connections, well, 3 out of 4 ain't bad by me. Never would have thought of the abbreviations, no matter how long I had. Well thought out. (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #53494: Uber-specialized categories. Wisecrack must be an "in" joke and is totally lost on me. Maybe a good grid for Poli Sci majors or modern history specialists but kinda lost on the general public. If you were aiming at just high degree of difficulty, you scored. (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53783: 4 cracking choices, nice and easy thank you (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53776: Edited now (not saying what I took out). I hope it's clearer. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53776: Should I edit and remove that group? (3 years, 2 months ago)

dgms @ #53776: Loved it, but I agree, too many Arthurian items. Maybe ditch the actual Arthurian line and put something else in. I loved those red herrings in the other groups, so it would be a shame to lose them. (3 years, 2 months ago)

puppi @ #53779: good grid but I am clueless about the Ray line [apart from Ray that is] (3 years, 2 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53779: I really enjoyed this, thanks (3 years, 2 months ago)

chris @ #53775: Wensleydale, not Wendslydale. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hampton @ #53735: Good solid grid (3 years, 2 months ago)

DBH @ #53775: Absolutely agree that Kraft is perhaps not quite right in the cheese group. Would also say that, unless you are familiar with 'Haworth', you would not be aware that the first syllable is pronounced 'how'. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53766: Well constructed, but not interesting for me - two groups based on very similar subjects which I have absolutely no interest in. (3 years, 2 months ago)

DBH @ #53776: Really clever BUT in the time allowed, it is not practical to have so many red herrings for one particular group. So, yes, I agree absolutely with Malcontent. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53773: Ok ideas, but hard to solve when you misspelled Aotearoa as Aotearea, so I thought that group was a red herring, and was looking for more hidden words. (3 years, 2 months ago)

puppi @ #53775: Smeg head - enough cheese????? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Chester @ #53773: I saw and assumed but one should not presume. It did not go unnoticed or unappreciated. :-) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53776: Clever groups, but so many King Arthur red herrings made it almost impossible to see the actual groups. I only found two lines. It felt annoying rather than challenging. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53773: @Chester, yes but the TR6 was a broad hint for you though? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #53775: Kraft processed cheese spread Cheese ?????? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Roy @ #53748: (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dd @ #28634: Hotels, v good! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dd @ #27341: Very hard? Enjoyable (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dd @ #47961: Chocolate hobnob seems a bit cheeky. Scottish fold a little obscure (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53748: Fun straightforward grid. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53758: Nicely themed, thanks. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #49330: I liked this one lots! Officially I got 7, but I gave myself 10, because I think "alcohol" works. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Chester @ #53773: agree with steve, but thought the de soto was great. much Acclaim (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53773: Liked this. Thanks. Thought what the spitfire group might be but took me a while to get the right combination. Just the right amount of accessibility in this grid. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Chester @ #53769: Elizabeth Regina, God bless the Queen (3 years, 2 months ago)

steve @ #53773: five stars... but the watchmaker red herring was a bit mean (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53763: Fairly easy but a nice mix. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53765: Yep, Curry group pretty obscure. Meant nothing to me. Rest of grid good. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53769: Probably more common in Melbourne (well, especially my bathroom). (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53764: Nice grid. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53769: Interesting different angle. Don’t know if curl and dry work so well for a UK audience as those things wouldn’t spring to mind for me but the whole grid works well. Ty ( though I didn’t get anything haha ). (3 years, 2 months ago)

JD @ #53238: Cardinal points? (3 years, 2 months ago)

JD @ #53248: A semitone up is not necessarily a sharp, neither semitone down a flat I'm afraid . . . (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #49534: This one was pretty brutal! :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Murdo @ #53765: I agree, David, but the Curry line was just a bit too far into the niche. It can be a tough balance. (3 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #53765: Fun, thanks. The Curry line was inspired in its obscurity. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hamburger @ #53763: Cool. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Spencer @ #53748: Incredibly fun! Top stuff. (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53763: Good grid, the 'surging' group stumped me, but it was fun, thanks! (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53762: Let's hear it for the ladies, thank you for the grid! (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53764: I'm happy I at least knew the groups, even if I couldn't sort the clues. A good, tough grid. Thanks! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Tirosh @ #53762: Fantastic grid all around! Nearly had me stumped, solved it with one minute left. (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53758: Good grid, got 6/10, and now I feel like having spaghetti. Bravissimo! (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53748: Very clever, good construction! Thanks for posting and for the confetti (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53527: 10/10 Very nice, thanks! (3 years, 2 months ago)

UStralian @ #53753: Please mark the correct language. (3 years, 2 months ago)

UStralian @ #53758: Nice, but I was marked correct for giving "football players" for the Truffa category (3 years, 2 months ago)

Uberlije @ #53766: Hey, I'm such a big fan of your puzzgrid, keep up the hard work mate (3 years, 2 months ago)

Elon Musk @ #53766: This is so bad. Will not come to mars with me. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jeff Bezos @ #53766: wow, this was phenomenal. I would like to see more content from @Elk, he definitely has the brain capacity for creating these 'puzzgrids' (3 years, 2 months ago)

A smarter person @ #53766: omg this was so good, I would recommend this, and you can trust me because I am a smarter person (3 years, 2 months ago)

A smart person @ #53766: I would recommend this, and you should trust me because I am a smart person (3 years, 2 months ago)

Lochster @ #53766: This 'puzzgrid' is so good! You should definitely try to complete it (3 years, 2 months ago)

matt @ #53758: Great wall, ty (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53761: Good. Very clever, but too cryptic, one link too obscure to spot, one that's hardly a link and Zen isn't a homophone for Zehn (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53761: Not for me. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hamburger @ #53748: Top grid. Had fun solving this one, cheers. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53758: Good, general knowledge based grid. Clear and properly logical, without being totally obvious. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53758: Nice wall, thanks. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53703: Very good, but Tony group was a bit of a cop out. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53738: Great. Good red herrings. Thanks. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53740: Good grid. Thanks (3 years, 2 months ago)

DoubleHappy @ #53692: FYI Immortal Beloved's central character was played by Gary Oldman. (3 years, 2 months ago)

DoubleHappy @ #53692: (3 years, 2 months ago)

DoubleHappy @ #53734: Enjoyed, thanks (3 years, 2 months ago)

spoon @ #53748: Maybe add "relatives" as an answer for the category it can apply for (3 years, 2 months ago)

spoon @ #53741: Idk if there is a way to fix the capitalization but it totally gives away one category without knowing what the actual answer is (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #53450: No red herrings for your ectomies. None elsewhere for that matter. 33 seconds to complete. Your earlier one wasn't great but took longer to read through. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #53744: For posh people? Rather a sweeping statement. (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #53448: Thanks for the extra time. (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #53446: Another good job of construction. Enough to make me want to cheat to get the Peck group correct. Finally did so by accident. (3 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #53757: Great grid, thank you. (3 years, 2 months ago)

paul @ #53750: danke (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hypatia @ #53748: Very nice (3 years, 2 months ago)

Freddgar @ #53751: Good grid, nice mix, at least one red herring 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Puzzbotfly @ #53734: Thanks for your comment but if our grids were that related, I would have been able to solve yours :). They're great but usually too in depth for me. I'm sure there's always seasonal grids put out so we'll be seeing some movie monsters, demons, death etc. Cheers. (3 years, 2 months ago)

TALLPAUL713 @ #52969: Nice grid 👍 (3 years, 2 months ago)

Greg Hurst @ #53751: A good one! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Aladdin @ #46898: Hmmmmm. Not sure about the villains category. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Freddgar @ #53745: Good grid but way too tough for me. Too many red herrings/crossovers, I spotted seven horses. The answers don't explain what a scurry is. You win 10-1 Thanks for posting (3 years, 2 months ago)

Freddgar @ #53748: Excellent grid, the scales fell with the Preston clue. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Est289 @ #53737: Tough one! Good job! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Est289 @ #53744: Tricky one! Thanks! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Est289 @ #53749: Tough one! Well done! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Est289 @ #53748: Great grid! Thank you! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #53738: I spent most of my time trying to figure out who the fourth female singer was! When I saw the group I did figure it out. Excellent red herring! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hypatia @ #53741: A ray is not a line. Also startlingly easy, in part based on uneven capitalization (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53748: Nice and straightforward. I kept misreading one thing though, so was very confused about my final group, for a moment or two. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Est289 @ #53698: I liked it! Thank you! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Est289 @ #53700: Nice grid (3 years, 2 months ago)

Est289 @ #53702: Great (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hypatia @ #53719: Should take "cats" (3 years, 2 months ago)

JD @ #53260: Like greek yoghurt - strained ... (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53742: Nice andeasy to solve, but difficult to match the specific wording of the links. I disagree with two of the items being put into two of the categories, but realise it's a matter of opinion, and I solved the groups anyway. None of the things in the bull tail stew group is necessarily tied to the link term. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Coli @ #10425: Terriers (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #53732: Very nicely done! I'm very annoyed at myself for not figuring it out in time. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Coli @ #10433: Utter tripe. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53740: Good wall. Nice ideas, and some devious redherrings. I'm not sure anyone but me will know Brook though. The Germane line was sneaky. (3 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #53704: Fun grid, thanks. 2 of the naughty list actually passed well into the 21st century (although doing their most notable work earlier). (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #53422: Gone in 44 seconds Not enough red herrings (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53735: 7/10 agh. It was going so well for me until trying to find the Olympia link. Olympia was the only one I knew that fitted the link, so no hope. Very good (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53738: Good, but one group was, visually, an obvious group, even though I didn't spot the link until I'd solved the wall. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Tom @ #45897: Intriguing and clever (3 years, 2 months ago)

Ur mom @ #52652: It’s very educational for children to learn Spanish ! (3 years, 2 months ago)

MovieBuff @ #53735: Poor Errol, poor David, if they only knew you were faithless :-) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Higgins @ #53662: Actually I liked the grid, neat, simple follows all the rules. In the south east region of Bavarian, Munich and towards the Austrian boarders the pronunciation of 'Herr' is more like 'Hur'. Presumptuous to assign regional pronunciations and accents of other countries based upon your own preconceptions, It is close enough to my ear to fit the grid and cannot [as far as I can see] to any other groups, so why pick at it? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jaded Mineral @ #53662: Nice fun grid! "Herr" is pronounced more like "hair" so isn't really a homophone for "her". (3 years, 2 months ago)

film buff @ #53601: That was fun (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53726: Very, very good. I only got six, as I've never heard of Wings, and kept putting All Quiet, in that group instead. (3 years, 2 months ago)

film buff @ #53726: No, it didn't have anyone really known to us : ) (3 years, 2 months ago)

buy ron @ #53725: Well I'll be ! Did not Ho there were so many when I did mine. 2 lines easy but looked too deep [Louis Armstrong, Baz Lurhmann, Chevy Chase etc. Thanks filmbuff, I will return the favour before long.

Tyghter @ #52656: Just want to say I made this grid and it used to be a bit easier but I updated it to be a little more difficult. (3 years, 2 months ago)

K Yost @ #53720: For Cobblers, Butlers, etc... I said "old professions" meaning archaic jobs which I feel is fair. Otherwise great grid! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53705: Last was just mean. Never heard of it - I thought it was a red herring/typo. Good grid (3 years, 2 months ago)

Anastase @ #53687: Good grid. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hannah @ #53666: 10 to 6 brilliant, give yourself 100 balloons [any color] (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53666: Great grid, good ideas. Nice and logical.However my inner pedant has to point out that you CAN'T give 110%. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53694: Very good. I don't think it's fair to have Ho without Westward, as that's the name of the place and without Westward there's nothing to connect it to the link properly - I still found that group and the link though. I'm kicking myself over the Les Misérables group link - I'd have scored 10 if I'd just made the obvious guess, though I only knew one definitely fitted it. (3 years, 2 months ago)

MovieBuff @ #53692: I remembered your 'song' (3 years, 2 months ago)

film buff @ #53692: Amadeus was easiest (because I had that group tucked away too) and GG was hardest - all of it was good! TY (3 years, 2 months ago)

Freddgar @ #53688: Nice and easy grid for a Sunday morning. Nice mix, couple of red herrings. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (3 years, 2 months ago)

MovieBuff @ #53692: *for film buffs only* - a little harder than it looks (3 years, 2 months ago)

Damon @ #53689: Engaging thank you (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #53666: Super grid. Great ideas, lovely mix of themes. Cracking start to the day. Thanks. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #53394: Another fun one! :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #53544: Absolutely buckets of fun, this one! :) Not sure the extra time was necessary, but not unappreciated either. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53687: Really good, but am I missing something? Couldn't either Ganges or Yangtze be swapped with Irrawaddy, giving the grid three equally valid solutions? (3 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #53662: Thanks that was great. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53684: Great as usual! Ty (3 years, 2 months ago)

Damon @ #53669: that was neatly executed (3 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #53669: Nice grid thanks, but shouldn't it be Normandy (proper noun rather than adjectival form)? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53687: Very nice grid. Ty (3 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #53684: Great, fun grid thank you. My first confetti of the morning. Didn't think it needed the additional time, but top marks nonetheless. (3 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #53685: Great fun, thanks. Shop thwarted me, with its different pronunciation from the rest of its group. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Gloria @ #53534: That was really good. I got a couple lines but got stuck on the last two. It was really hard to finish the last two. then anthony went over to the couch and fell asleep but his glass tipped over and got ice on the ground. my mom had to pick up the ice cubes. then i typed all this. ty.

Malcontent @ #53646: Amazon. I only got 4. Thought the funky homosapian group must have been Hitchhiker's Guide references, and not a clue about the miller group. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53650: Good ideas. I have few niggles - I see that feather goes in its group, but with completely different logic - it doesn't make a phrase with the link. Weather or shuttle would be more pleasing. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53650: Good ideas. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53642: Great grid. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Joe @ #53603: Good, thanks! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Adam @ #53620: Didn’t like the hidden instruments being a mix of start and middle and end. Better, I think, to be all start or all middle or all end. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Joe @ #53601: Good! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #53646: Awesome grid! :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53638: V. Good. Took me a while to separate the three lines I saw, but I got them in under 2 mins. My guess of Football Grounds in Scotland for the last (Partick) group didn't pay off though. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53639: Clever, with nice ideas, but impossible for me because some ideas weren't carried through logically. For example Euler is a scientist - the constant is known as 'Euler's number', never just Euler, so oiler doesn't work in a group of homophones of mathematical/scientific constants. Was looking for a group of homophones for scientists and homophones of constants or just letters. Would be an excellent grid if things like that were edited to make sense. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #53633: The names of the four people is NOT a category. I typed 'surnames of BBC presenters'. That is a category. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #53631: Like the last two I played, the definitions of the categories was such that it was near impossible to get full marks. I wrote 'Robin Hood characters', 'cabbage', 'biscuits', and London hotel restaurants' and got nothing for any of this. Otherwise, would have been a good puzzle. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53632: Another brilliant one! 5* (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53631: 5* thank you (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53628: Really easy to solve. Poorly worded links. Worst example was that chocolate etc. group - they aren't just sponge cakes, but cake, food, flavouri and ice-cream weren't accepted. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #53601: Needed crossovers (e.g. Years, Rings) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53619: V.good wall. Thanks. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53619: Nice! I got ten, even though I've not heard of all the films. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53620: I failed at this. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53621: I got five - couldn't sort the Camille line from the north by Northwest line. I thought there was a Hitchcock group there and didn't know the films well enough to see the Camille group link. Very good. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53630: Never going to happen. 1/10 by lucky guess and like Malcontent I only knew 2 in that group. Fiendish isn’t for me. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53626: I got seven. Loved the Cryer group (I didn't know the exact link). The Paisley group made me laugh. I missed the Scowie Water line link - it looked like there was a much more obvious link for it, but that was a horrible trick. I think that's not really fair. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Joe @ #53610: Good! Liked it (3 years, 2 months ago)

MRH @ #53629: Brands surely (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53630: This is a complete rip off of JmT's impossible one. It's not as hard when I knew what to look for, but the rehydration group entries are quite obscure only knew two. (3 years, 2 months ago)

MRH @ #53628: Need to singularise accepted answers (3 years, 2 months ago)

Joe @ #53618: Rubbish (3 years, 2 months ago)

Joe @ #53627: Utter nonsense... (3 years, 2 months ago)

Joe @ #53624: Not good.. Especially the Monday one. Lunacy linked to Monday. I think not.. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Joe @ #53625: Era is not a unit of time. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #53627: I also got 2/10. And a sore brain. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53627: I think it was an achievement to get 2/10. Blimey! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53618: Very clever but much too fiendish for me. Only got 2. I'm hopeless at finding the groups when they're more than two steps of logic away from the clue. Not sure honda works that group though - it'd a word that goes with, rather than a synonym or alternate. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53617: Evil. Too many confusing vomits. Very good. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Kaphc @ #53614: Nice wall with a couple of good detractors (3 years, 2 months ago)

Kaphc @ #53622: Good connecting themes, I thought that a couple of the groups didn't fit too well together so I struggled a bit (3 years, 2 months ago)

Till E @ #53573: Stj, just ignore. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Kruptos j @ #53589: Liked it TY did you mean surprise? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #53556: The Crosby films are well known, so no niche knowledge needed, and the hotels are common too. The birds and the instruments also fall easily within the general category of general knowledge. I did not get either the birds or the instruments, but the fault was mine- I just failed to spot the concealed words. So no, Jim, the grid was far from impossible, just very sneaky. A good grid. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53587: Well constructed, but too niche and too specific for me. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53613: Don’t know if Molly really works as I’d spotted the others including the red herring. Any alternatives? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53612: Wonderful. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

ratsupreme @ #53440: The ensign etc connection feels very arbitrary, they are not even pronounced the correct way (3 years, 2 months ago)

Est289 @ #53610: Excellent grid! Thank you! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53609: Nice change 🙂 (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53577: @ Dark Knight, you probably do other style grids by this setter and love them. I’d asked for this style as I find them quite funny and a welcome change every now and again. I see how it could be irritating if you didn’t see what was going on though. Like you say you can just avoid them now you know. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53605: Interesting mix. Liked the idea for the Cury group. I’d actually found the group and thought of that option for Cury but didn’t didn’t think of the others. Might steal that idea for another grid if that’s ok. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53603: Straightforward but led me to look up the Turing **** and now I know why the film was called that. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Chase @ #53544: Very nice (3 years, 2 months ago)

Chase @ #53594: Excellent, as always! Thank you :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53599: Liked that. Managed 7/10 as I thought there were Lords in there. Thanks. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53601: Nice grid. Ty. Is this 3 star btw? - if so I know you’ll be interested to know you mistyped Magnificent ;-) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #53577: Worst grid I’ve seen in weeks. Oh well, each to their own, I’ll just avoid this setter in future. (3 years, 2 months ago)

dave @ #53566: A quiz site, not a platform for political doctrine (3 years, 2 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #53577: No. Just - no. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53595: This would have been challenging enough for me without the crossovers 😄 Some super talented people there. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53595: I'm not sure whether I liked this or hated it. Got one line, but all four links. Obviously don't know enough about these actors/writers. The redherrings/crossovers were great, I just didn't enough fit it together. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53566: Solving the grid was very easy- two groups were obvious and one hung together as 'positive things internationally'. Two links weren't great - one (peace) where items could fit umpteen different links and another (Black Sea) you'd need to be a mind-reader or ridiculously lucky to get right - I got lucky and scored a point for guessing Ukraine for it. I got 7 but not because the grid made sense to me. (3 years, 2 months ago)

3 *** @ #53580: Very good indeed, Vacillated between food, music or liberals and ended up with just 4/10. Thank you (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #53318: the jewel and tire groups need help (3 years, 2 months ago)

d @ #53544: I've really been enjoying this style of grid. When you know what form to look for it allows for harder clues while remaining very satisfying and solvable. I got a 10 but it took me down to 30 sec and the penultimate guess with lots of thought expended along the way. (3 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #53358: Great, fun grid thank you. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53589: @Corrector thanks. I can see the purpose of the system but it’s not without its flaws as if the first few people mark a grid down then it likely isn’t seen by a wide enough audience who might mark it up. I’m not saying this is an outstanding example. I was just curious. Is Pink Table Gridlington? I can’t keep up. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Corrrector @ #53589: @Fam, the stars are awarded by players, if the star quality falls below 3 or 2 and half the grid id no longer shown on the front page. To see these you have to select the grid quality at the top of the screen. The level of difficulty may also alter from that originally set again depending on the difficulty stars settings chosen. NB gridlington has been a quality and honourable setter for a long time. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Freddgar @ #53573: Good grid, nice spread of subjects, several red herrings. 10s all round. Thanks for posting (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53579: Crikey, I’m getting confused with who’s who. Maybe this was set by St John. Or maybe Gridlington is St John. For all I know there are only about 5 people on this site each with numerous names! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53589: Can someone tell me, if a grid gets marked down does it get taken off the main page? I did this on the main page but now it doesn’t appear. The connections are very loose but I imagine if someone knew politics and history and saw the theme they could possibly get it ( with a bit of wordplay and guessing thrown in ). (3 years, 2 months ago)

Kay @ #53510: Wow, I did not know a SINGLE ONE of these. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53589: Too tough for me ( only the dam line ) but you did put it down as fiendish so some might get it if they clock the theme. Made me read a little anyway. Thank you. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Freddgar @ #53557: Tricky indeed, woo was the give away for that line. Got two other lines. Tristan was a good red herring. The other 4 were obvious. Didn't know the Gough line. You win 10 -7 Thanks for posting (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jo @ #53566: Aims of UN? Naive (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53577: Well, luckily the grid was resurrected because of the comments otherwise I would have missed it. Wow, refreshed twice but still didn’t make it all. Bhat oven and Mild Cormorant lines were made but couldn’t figure enough of the other two to make it, though I knew the connections. Thank you, and sorry for the extra enemies accrued 😄 You seem to be getting a right pasting this afternoon! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Lloyd @ #56: Not a bad grid apart from the two unusual words which rely on obscure knowledge rather than working things out. (3 years, 2 months ago)

DBS101 @ #53484: @D @Midge Galactic Basic Standard, known in-universe as Basic, is indeed from Star Wars. One of those things that people never say the full name of- even I didn't know that's what it was short for, I've only ever heard Basic. It was after getting for the programming languages, along with Java. (3 years, 2 months ago)

kpot @ #53562: Russia - NATO? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Lloyd @ #53557: Any fool can choose four lists which require VERY specific knowledge. How about making a grid that you solve from first principles e.g. by placing hidden PATTERNS, or something a little more stimulating, so that there's something to 'work out' using your brain, rather than simply recall. Your grids are just endless lists. Have you seen Only Connect? (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53577: @ Lloyd - not a troll - this was made by request. If the grid is no longer on the first page, it has been marked down because I appear to have annoyed someone or some people. (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53573: Well that's me been told off then. It would seem I have to learn how to make grids based on first principles [not entirely sure what that means] and think. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Lloyd @ #53577: I hope you're a troll. That was a total waste of your time making that. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Sedge @ #53573: Are you a troll? If not, please check out other grids, which involve working things out from first principles rather than knowing the names of alcoholic drinks (harder to make grids I know as it involves thinking).

Big jim @ #53510: Very fun and entertaining grid even if it was quite straight forward. Thats what these grids are about, fun and a bit of something different (3 years, 2 months ago)

Edwaldo @ #53533: You're right, removed Amazon! Sorry! (3 years, 2 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #53544: Brilliant thank you - love this style. Just got it with no lives to spare! (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53556: That was good, nice mixture and red herrings. ty (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53556: @ big Jim. Viol is an instrument, an entire family of instruments, in fact. They're still used. I don't see a problem. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Big jim @ #53557: not sure how many people you think would know the 4 islands of Tristan de cunha! or the names of the 4 rings in wagner ring cycle.... some may but we are talking very very few. Incredibly tough grid (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53537: Dibble lost me - only ever heard it called Dibber. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Big jim @ #53556: a grid thats just impossible. Viol as an instrument... well got no chance with stuff like this in the grid (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53528: Good. About to google H..., but then Ben's comment came to mind and lightbulb moment. Liked snap as well. wd ty (3 years, 2 months ago)

StinkyPete @ #53548: Doh! Apologies, the Cash group now corrected. Thanks for the feedback. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Ben @ #53528: Brilliant. Not sure I would have got far if I weren't myself Mancunian, but nothing wrong with a tough group. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Ben @ #53527: Loved this. Challenging but achievable, a few red herrings, some slightly obscure answers. Spot on. (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53537: Stumped again! But I came away with some knowledge, and I liked the trick in the 'scaffold' group, one of my favorites. Thanks for the grid! (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53548: Ditto, pls check your accepted answer. I tried it twice, once because I thought I had typed wrongly secondly with upper case. (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53545: Got it, excellent grid! Thank you, Hamburger, for the insight. (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53548: Good grid, I like the use of the 'phantom' group, the only issue I have is that the 'Cash' answer doesn't work, so I gave myself the point. Thanks! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hamburger @ #53545: I guess the clue was in the name. Brutal grid. (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53510: Very nice grid, the only thing I got was the Rick Roll. Thanks! (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53526: The only group I recognized was the birds, and that's not even right. As for the show, the only presenter I remember was 'Dickinson' when I watched it years ago. This grid was a stumper, but a good one, thanks! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53537: Got two then forgot to look again 🤦‍♀️ Thanks Kruptos. (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53550: Very nice, took me a minute on 'Box 20', but I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell. Thanks for posting! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hamburger @ #53524: Only got the band ones, good grid wd. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53537: actually that is a fair call, I will add them! (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53550: Nice indeed [box 20??] ty (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53533: I think it was still obvious to try that one in there. People might talk of an Amazon *. Good grid I thought. Stumped me. (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53538: Nice - double bluff? (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53546: I highly recommend this grid! Thanks (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53537: Solved the wall! :-) at the third attempt :-( A smashing puzzle. Now for the 'not fair' moments. Livestock? - no and 'Roses'? also no. Thank you, I enjoyed it for all that (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53546: Fantastic. Got all but the Tangle line. There’s always something I forget to think about. (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53544: Love these puzzles. Kept looking for your 'modus operandi' then [good job I am not a doctor because I got my cervical tubes mixed up, i.e. trachea.. Thank you WV (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53533: Amazon? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53550: Nice one Hamburger! My eye immediately drawn to Box 20. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53512: Mother's ruin - I'll drink to that. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53538: Very satisfying as a doable morning grid. (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53546: :-) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53532: Good grid. Done by the Dragon line. Whenever anyone throws in one of those or a video game based line it’s enough to make the whole grid trickier for me. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #53546: Oooh, such a bastardy red herring! You very nearly got me with that one! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53534: Good grid despite looking impossible to start. Got two lines then only recognised enough from the other two groups to try to put them in a group together that wasn’t specific enough. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53526: ah! I thought you meant Bells or Haigh's :-D (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53544: First one of these I didn’t get in time. Too many clues I didn’t know. Keep them coming though, they’re great! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53526: Ooh, I am actually watching it now! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53546: Thanks for sparing us another HP-extra star for that! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #53533: I wonder if anyone ever gets the odeon group correctly? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hamburger @ #53532: Good grid. I'm not familiar with pokemon however. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Omegaman @ #53332: Metre not meter (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fat Skye @ #53448: Top notch grid there (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #53265: Not a chance that is a 3 minute quiz. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Brady @ #53521: Weird and sad trolling. Says a lot about whoever did this. (Not the real WVPuzzler) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Avenger @ #4278: Excellent grid - well thought out. Thank you HB. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Rosanna @ #52044: Hooked in by Tulas Trop... great grid (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53526: Seems like you’ve been having a wee dram tonight. (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53525: 6/10 for me. Quick romp through two lines then tripped up, what a sin. wd thank you (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53525: At last! Didn’t miss it this time. (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #53256: Pier and Peru are both totally wrong (3 years, 2 months ago)

Rosanna @ #53352: Great grid, fun mix of clues. (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53516: #53516 has been deleted by me - ask 3 Star (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53524: Very good. Saw the Dwarfs connection but couldn’t see enough of them. Saw the Smiths connection but didn’t see the right ones. And YET again I failed to look at words closely even though I just did your last grid 10 mins ago. There’s no hope. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Simon @ #53520: Not the real WVPuzzler (3 years, 2 months ago)

Simon @ #53521: I don't think its the real WVPuzzler. Click on their name and only two grids come up. The real WVPuzzler has 80+ grids (3 years, 2 months ago)

Freddgar @ #53517: Nice and easy. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Nikki @ #53521: Uhh, you OK WVPuzzler? (3 years, 2 months ago)

mella @ #53523: @Fam - great point. Have edited to make it less ambiguous. :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53516: What the hell is going on? (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53515: Nice, but I never see the globe line. [failed my Eng. Lang 'O' level] passed my Eng. Lit 'A' level though. go figure (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53523: A sad 1/10 for me, but I think the sun line could also be followed by light, boosting my score to a massive 2/10. Thanks for posting. (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53523: good but I lost my head searching, wd ty (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53510: I see floating things before my eyes and it makes me happy. Now back to the grid......ooooh ty (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53515: Dave didn’t like it. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53515: Nice one. Yes, the globe group also had me stumped. And yet again I kicked myself for not looking at the words more closely if I can’t see a link 🤦‍♀️ (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dave @ #53515: What an absolute crock of (3 years, 2 months ago)

david A garcia @ #53448: Love the style. Super good! (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53516: gone, removed (3 years, 2 months ago)

Daniel Stares @ #53516: ???????? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53510: Wow! Memory lane. Great grid! Boogie and Run around were much easier to spot. I couldn’t actually tell the other two though I know them. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53517: 12 clicks and confetti. Very neat grid. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53520: here again? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53512: This is it! Great! ( needed a refresh of course and you were very generous on the Shabeen line ). Ty! (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53519: I think I have seen a few like this before (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53516: 😂😂😂😂😂 (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #53516: I got stuck for ages on the ostrich clue. Then I realised there was no ostrich clue, and I just don't know what the hell I'm talking about. Then I solved the puzzle and gave myself a lollipop for being so clever. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53507: 6/10 for me. I was also stuck on thinking ‘little’ and threw in a wild ‘Kate’ for another. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53504: Chuckle like Boris the Animal (3 years, 2 months ago)

tcpankratz @ #53520: These clues don't make sense. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53502: Nice to have a grid that allows you to get 10/10 every now and again. Thanks. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53503: Only one line on this, on the strength of remembering Tubular Bells and other records in my brother’s collection. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Sarah Louise Horobin @ #53513: Check your spellings (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53517: I enjoy the use of words that look similar at first sight as a minor trick. have done this many times myself.. nice grid ty (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53504: Only managed two lines, the more popular stuff, but I know how many beans make five ;-) (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #53230: Second worst. Your other was more niche and what the hell is deadname? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Ted @ #53504: (3 years, 2 months ago)

Nick @ #53517: Hey, women can wear all those hats. Any hats! (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #53226: how niche can a wall be? (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53516: Raspberry, singular could be raspberry tart. Did not wish to confuse (3 years, 2 months ago)

Iain @ #53512: Messy construction, very samey. Zzzzz. (3 years, 2 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53517: 10/10 - cute puzzle (3 years, 2 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53515: The globe group had me stumped. Good grid! (3 years, 2 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53516: This was good fun! I got 7/10 (3 years, 2 months ago)

Even @ #53516: Incorrect spelling spoil this as it makes it unfair even if you've got the link. Without giving too much a way it should be "Raspberry" and not "Raspberries". Also, it's just the same idea repeated 4 times. Needs variation to be interesting. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #53507: Shakespeare was my first group too. Good grid, I thought. (3 years, 2 months ago)

VCM @ #53502: Good One! Great to have a medium grid that was medium (3 years, 2 months ago)

Sarah Louise Horobin @ #53514: (3 years, 2 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #53512: A bit confusing initially, then an easy ten after spotting the first group. Fun though. Well done. (3 years, 2 months ago)

MovieBuff @ #53516: Did you hear Bow Bells as a nipper? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #53515: Excellent - a nice mix. I particularly liked the globe group. (3 years, 2 months ago)

josh @ #53429: this one is perfect! uniquely diverse with its categories (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53504: @ St John. Hahahahaha (3 years, 2 months ago)

MovieBuff @ #53481: Thanks Midge, the last one you mention is not a 'great' film to be sure, nor a well known/remembered title, but there are some terrific lines in there plus cameo performances from Gene Kelly and Bing Crosby. Plus Yves Montand saying "cockle doo doo" and includes Frankie Vaughn. Well worth checking out. (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53507: must put the light on... well crafted. two lines relatively easy, just needed identifying. got the Webster connection just not the right ones. did not get Shakespeare group as I was thinking "little" ty enjoyed (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53484: @D I assume Basic here means Galactic Basic, from Star Wars. It's a bit of a fudge, if it's that, but that's all I found except for the computing term. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #53512: Yeah! :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53507: well crafted. two lines relatively easy, lust needed identifying. got the webster just not the eight ones. ty (3 years, 2 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53507: I suppose it depends on your frame of reference. It was actually the first group I thought of. Apologies that you found it tough. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53481: Good. Liked wall theme - big fan. Got two lines straight away. Saw one other link but couldn't sort out the other two groups. Love the Potato Chips film, but that's the only quote I really recognised from it - if you'd also had ' cherry pits in her head' and 'tried to sleep in the bathtub' I'd have solved the wall. Didn't know the last link (my heart belongs to daddy) as I've not seen that film. (3 years, 2 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53510: This was a fun one (3 years, 2 months ago)

JD @ #7434: verbs? hmmm synonyms worry? more work neede on this (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53507: Good, but logic of the Shakespeare group link was very vague for such specific link words. (3 years, 2 months ago)

tcpankratz @ #53440: The yes connection is pretty hard (3 years, 2 months ago)

tigermoth @ #53394: I don't think the clue for young fox is correct (3 years, 2 months ago)

tcpankratz @ #53448: Really fun concept! (3 years, 2 months ago)

D @ #53484: BASIC is a family of general-purpose, high-level programming l******s whose design philosophy emphasizes ease of use. The original version was designed by John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz and released at Dartmouth College in 1964 (3 years, 2 months ago)

D @ #53484: What is Basic here? Google isn't giving me anything (3 years, 2 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53504: I'm sensing a theme haha! good puzzle. (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53503: I liked that, my type of music plus your mellotronic sense of humour. ty (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53502: Simple but good, Glad I change my mind as pay control did not feel right. ty (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53504: Fair warning Midge [no offence meant] (3 years, 2 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53502: Nice quick grid. I enjoyed it. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53484: Good. Fluked getting 10 - didn't know the full reason why basic fitted into its group, but your link terms were generous. Thanks. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53499: Thank you. Glad some people like it. Hope calling myself 'MidgeMusic' was enough warning that this might be a bit of a themed wall (no one warns me about the sport ones or the 'who won a bafta in 1979 ones though). (3 years, 2 months ago)

Roy @ #53448: V V V good (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dogma @ #53499: I spotted the Eine Kleine group, because the composer was a linkthe other day. Cornish Corsairs made me see the rest of its group. I couldn't separate the other two and still couldn't spot the final link - maybe it's too well hidden to give anyone a chance? Very tough, a bit niche, but good. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Syuhax @ #53358: Nice one, just the right level (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53484: Elvish - excellent! (3 years, 2 months ago)

dgms @ #53499: My head just imploded. Very good. I got two lines, and three links (if I allow myself G & S, which you didn't- I shouldn't have been lazy and used abbreviations). The mice line was impossible, but great. I ought to have known there was a hidden word line, but they didn't leap out even though the group was so disparate it HAD to be a hidden word one (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53499: Gilbert, yes - the rest no. Tough especially Mice line. ty (3 years, 2 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53499: A tough one! Got me stumped by a couple of lines and i failed to make a full connection. I enjoyed learning with this one though. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Flanners @ #53448: Love the concept, still takes some thought even when you crack the pattern. Great grid (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53478: Good, you led me down the herbs garden path. ty (3 years, 2 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53430: I knew most of the links but couldn't put the groups together so only got 4. Nice idea for a grid though. (3 years, 2 months ago)

wizzer @ #53478: Ah Parsley the lion from the Herbs! Nice grid thank you (3 years, 2 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53432: Some real facepalm moments when i saw the answers here (3 years, 2 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53484: A lowly four for me on this, but more through stupidity than bad puzzle making. A great grid, thanks. (3 years, 2 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53494: Only 2/10 here. (3 years, 2 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53478: sorry will correct must be a typo (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53484: Oh very good! I keep kicking myself for missing things. Every time. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Matt @ #53478: Nice grid, wasn't aware of Parsley the Lion or tea as a shade of green but satisfying to solve Also 'guacamole' wasn't accepted (3 years, 2 months ago)

Matt @ #53467: What? (3 years, 2 months ago)

barry womble @ #53446: Really enjoyed this, thanks. (3 years, 2 months ago)

barry womble @ #53448: Fantastic. (3 years, 2 months ago)

barry womble @ #53473: Good proper red herring which I had completely failed to notice. Thanks for pointing it out! (3 years, 2 months ago)

barry womble @ #53479: Er, no. (3 years, 2 months ago)

gappy @ #53407: I'll confess that walls where all 4 solutions require the same mechanic are less enticin to me than a lot of players here, but this is a very good example of a single-track board, well done. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Mr DR Shaw @ #53372: Sorry to upset all the opera aficionados and spoiling all of your fun. I have edited the grid now so as to not upset anyone else who attempts to have some fun with this grid. May you all have a blessed day (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53478: What a delightful little grid! Thank you! (3 years, 2 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53479: Loved this, even though I only scored three (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53477: I thought at first that this might be a joke grid but I grouped them on what looked like went together and guessed what they were and turns out they were all right 😀 Thanks for posting. I’ll make do with a DB11 if I win the Euromillions tomorrow. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Aetees @ #53358: Excellent (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53473: Very nicely linked! It looked like you had dedicated a link to Victorian politics at the moment ; ) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Mrsbusman @ #53448: Great grid! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53473: All good links but for some reason I was completely blind. Great when a grid can do that. (3 years, 2 months ago)

MovieBuff @ #53397: Do you know I think you are right. They are funnier in print, somehow not quite so crass or obvious. Though I know these films inside out, I must confess to laughing more as I researched and wrote them down. Thanks for the kind comments - now what is next in the pipeline? (3 years, 2 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53407: I really liked this. It was tough at first, but it unravelled nicely and i got a confetti. Woop woop (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53465: Nice little mix there. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pesto party @ #53407: nice grid thsnks (3 years, 2 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53473: Had me stumped on a couple but really enjoyed it (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53473: "Nice and Friendly" (3 years, 2 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53472: The linking words don't seem broad enough for this. There's also a couple of typos (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53397: Had a little look at this on the basis of film buff’s comment ( I can never solve them ). The lines somehow seem funnier in print. ‘Notice anything unusual about it?’ It’s made me want to dig out an old film and watch it with my mum. Very good! (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53437: Got it! Very nice, thanks for posting. (3 years, 2 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53437: Thought, I'd lost my touch this morning. But I got this one (3 years, 2 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53443: I was stumped by this apart from one line and guessing another when they were revealed. Good work (3 years, 2 months ago)

MovieBuff @ #53183: WV - I did try, can't have everything. (3 years, 2 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53450: Easier than the last one... thankfully! (3 years, 2 months ago)

MovieBuff @ #53450: Time to put that book away, take two aspirins and go to school. Enough (3 years, 2 months ago)

salmacis @ #53447: The Pool group didn't really work for me, and Port au Prince was mis-spelled. I liked the other two groups though. (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53183: Very good grid. I saw the six endings, and whooped, as those are some of my favorite books; I only wish you could have worked 'Treader' in there somewhere. Thanks for the grid! (3 years, 2 months ago)

MovieBuff @ #53446: Ditto :-) (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53407: My best 'Only Connect' round. I can maybe get one question, if I'm lucky, in the other rounds, but missing vowels are where I get most of my points. Thanks! (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53435: Clever grid, the only group I didn't have a clue on was the 'Callouses' group, but when I saw the answer, I smiled as that is a trick I like to use myself. Thanks for posting! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hamburger @ #53450: To my surprise, I actually worked this out. (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53445: Nice grid, I knew three groups, but the 'Sam' group was beyond me. A Very nicely constructed grid, thanks! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53447: Well, film buff gets it, and maybe I do on the basis of Tilly’s comment, but this is too much for my little head in the morning. A puzzle within a puzzle. Time for a cup of tea. ( it’s the whole thing right? ) (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53447: A good learning experience, and I have to say that the 'Welsh' group was fiendishly clever. I knew that the 'Cornish' group had something to do with the British Isles, and had the idea of the 'Of Wits' group, I was saying some of them out loud, but that's as far as I got. Nice tough grid, thanks! (3 years, 2 months ago)

dgms @ #53372: Three really good groups (though I thought West Side Story was a Bernstein musical, which Sondheim helped out on, rather than being a Sondheim show), but the wall was invalidated by one group that's a nonsense.

Midge @ #53427: @ Malcontent. Saw that one. Gave up filling inlonks once I saw the (not)'opera' (at all) link. Not worth bothering. Decided to do the Threepenny Opera group as a bit of a joke because of that. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #53424: Burger could have equally been sandwich, or a wholebunch of other items - not a good group. Rhubarb? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #53421: Easy, but enjoyable. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53427: That was fun, but fairly similar to another music based wall I saw earlier. This one was actually good and uses a real definition of opera though. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53410: One refresh and we got there. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53343: @ Fan same here. I thought disgusting processed 'food' full of refined sugar was a good answer. Never heard of Ambrosia Salad, or two of the things in the Lennox group (though I got that link) I think this should have been an American grid not a UK one. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53372: Kind of ok, but a little samey and the groups don't all work. The operas group is spurious - Hamilton's full title is 'Hamilton an American Musical', and your definition of Opera is musical is simply wrong, or are you saying that Die Zauberflote and Carmen aren't opera? And as that group is undeniably invalid, it undermines the fairly adequate remainder of the grid. Actually, I'm getting less enthusiastic about thus wall the more I think about it, and your reply reiterating your incorrect assertion doesn't make it any less inaccurate. (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53263: The Hufnpuf thing, tough hugely popular and successful in the US, it was only shown in the UK for two seasons in 1970/1 on London Weekend TV. So if one is not in the right age group or living in the right area at the time, one wouldn't have heard of it, like me. Midge , the Anderson one of yours is a point in case for me, I am too old and that one passed me by as I discovered beer and other interests. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53263: @Midge, I’d be lost on your wall too but the comments are making me laugh 😂 I did the Banana Splits wall too and looked up the other American tv show. I’d never heard of it and was none the wiser once I’d seen it. I’m not convinced anyone knows it. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53406: I find all this trolling, posting under someone else’s name, commenting (deliberately) under someone else’s name baffling. I mean, what is to be gained? I find it even more bizarre on a puzzling website 😄 (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53263: @Horatio I'll take the criticism for the Zelda group, but thei It-star link was a brilliant TV show! The other day I saw a wall where two groups were characters from the Banana Splits, and characters from another American Kids TV show from the '70s that I've never heard of (never broadcast over here). That annoyed me even more than the 'pacman monsters with the first letter changed' group from another wall. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53396: @St John - I thought Edward VI was the curve ball for that group because he existed as an actual monarch later. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53407: You made this accessible which is more than I did for mine of the same ilk. I think the key is to make the groups distinct and not to make it so difficult that you put people off. Success on both fronts for you! Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #53407: I love the missing vowel grids. I either figure them out in a few seconds, or I don't figure them out at all. Got 10 in this one :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53406: I agree with Pw62 (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pw62 @ #53406: @Midge, user names like commentators names are not "owned" by anyone. I have posted under 30+ names in the past to avoid trolls. There is no way of preventing it. It is not illegal, so I do not think the owners/monitors of the site can use individual email addresses to "warn off" non desirables. One has to put up with it (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53405: V.good. couldn't see the jive link at all (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53406: @St John. You mean you can submit walls under another user's name? Or do you mean the account bus hacked? Not great either way I know I've commented at least once, using another user's name, accidentally, when trying to aim a comment to them, but didn't know you could 'steal' a name.

Dogma @ #53404: Navy was fiendish - I've never heard of it. I saw all the links, in 20 seconds, just couldn't assemble any lines. Great ideas .Not sure it works like a wall on the show though. Head and Arm can be swapped with Hand and Foot, so there are at least five valid solutions, and it's virtually impossible to pick the one out of the five valid ones, that you've decided is correct.

Fam @ #53381: If you go to your email Jacob you’ll be able to edit your grid if you want. Once you check for spellings, put capital letters at the start of each word, and change out the Noah group it will work fine as an easy grid. I learnt something interesting about chickens by doing your grid! Thank you! (3 years, 2 months ago)

I'd be interested to see the 20 legitimate ways of dividing them up, that is contrary to the normal types of grids we got on this site.

Ben @ #53372: Grids where everything essentially fits in the same category are frankly very frustrating. There must be at least 20 legitimate ways of dividing up 16 musicals into 4 groups, making the "correct" answer entirely arbitrary. Also, that's a definition of "opera" I have never heard before. That's what I would call a "sung-though musical", while an opera is a separate genre, which is usually (but not always) sung-through. (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53367: Corin, what the ...hell was that. I remembered after the reveal and chuckled. Bucket Pub? lol. thanks J what a way to start the day. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53367: Thanks Jmelb. I haven’t seen them before. Got Cheese line as that was a way in. Seeing as it's quite hard anyway might be kinder to put ‘skin fruit’ so that the word is in the correct tense. And I don’t think ‘body of water’ really describes that word. Rather it could be ‘creates body of water’ as the body of water would be the reservoir itself. I still wouldn’t have got those lines anyway though :-) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53367: Recycling a few of my older ones-hope there are no long memories! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Spencer @ #53359: Great fun, although I'm not sure if it's fiendish. Really liked the preceding 'land' line! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Spencer @ #53355: Thanks! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53351: Learnt something - always a good thing TY (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53355: Nice TY (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53321: Nice one! TY (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53329: LOVED IT! Could just hear Sydney Greenstreet! Thanks (3 years, 2 months ago)

alistair @ #26145: Dunno who Sandra Bollocks is or what the heck 'rent control' is but I got there in the end. Solid puzzle. (3 years, 2 months ago)

two reeds @ #53359: fun grid, though translation line was too opaque for me (3 years, 2 months ago)

matt @ #53355: I should’ve warmed up before attempting this… (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53331: Because it was a repeat of the one before I think. (3 years, 2 months ago)

matt @ #53330: Good fun! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53355: Only got one line but very clever and well executed grid. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #53331: Why ignore? It was pretty good. I didn't know the comedians nor ever heard of tzu, but still, good effort (3 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #53332: Naw, it was pretty good. Missed the black widow line but the rest gave plenty to think about. (3 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #53354: really good grid! Well done. I got 5 but should have got them all. (3 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #53352: nice grid. I got 6 (3 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #53345: Nice line was good (3 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #53349: It's an improvement (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53318: Korma Rant. That was it! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53352: Thanks DoubleDare. I think it’s quite tough so I’m glad you got all of the connections ( at least it’s not impossible ). Always seems easier when you’re setting it. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53354: Stumped me for all but one line but I really should look harder. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

DoubleDare @ #53352: Great grid. Fair and well-crafted, not too easy or too hard. I did miss the last two groups (though I think I definitely could/should have got them), but I got all the connections right, so 6/10. All in all, a fun grid. Thank you. (3 years, 2 months ago)

CookieBaBa @ #37236: Nice shoutout to Unus Annus lmao (3 years, 2 months ago)

scotts03 @ #53349: Enjoyed it. Just about my level. Finished 10/10 with about :20 left. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Rick B @ #53305: Like it, especially the idea of having ant as a sym. Got a bit confused because some of my pumpkins are (fortunately) strangers. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53351: Ooh, just in time. Just missed the Duff connection. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53349: Brilliant. Enough to get your head scratching and looking at the clock but still fun. I missed the Pencil connection but it was good. Thank you 🙂 (3 years, 2 months ago)

Rick B @ #53329: Very enjoyable, even for us non-purists. I see Moviebuff, I think "Play it..." (3 years, 2 months ago)

Esso @ #53349: Exelentto. (3 years, 2 months ago)

DoubleDare @ #53349: So this is the second grid I've made. I don't know if it's good or bad, hard or easy. I just hope that it's at least somewhat original and fun to play. Cheers. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #53328: Excellent. Easy but fun. (3 years, 2 months ago)

JayDee @ #53338: Nice grid. Really liked the Benatar etc category because it was unusual and challenging but not impossible to get if you gave it some thought (I didn't get it, but once I saw the answer it made sense). (3 years, 2 months ago)

two reeds @ #53312: Edited the puzzle to fix the "age" answer! I'd accidentally typed it as "ages". (3 years, 2 months ago)

colincidence @ #53326: The red herring group was a bit arch. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53338: Nice and straightforward except the link for the Benatar group. Good. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53293: Good. Missed this first time around. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53343: Nice bit of novelty there. Resolved the grid even though I didn’t know all the connections. Thought Lucky Charms line might have been unhealthy breakfasts. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #53328: Fun grid! :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53332: John, how so? (3 years, 2 months ago)

John @ #53332: Terrible (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53340: Would have given you a 5* if it wasn’t for the blimmin’ Wiggle line. Completely biased but because I don’t know anything about that area and the words are always so random, it throws the whole grid into chaos for me. Wd. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Aetees @ #53336: awful grid. a load of rubbish. Worst grid of the last year. I would give it only 1 out of 137. It really is a big poopy puzzle. i did not enjoy playing this at all. Please stop making grids if this is the best you can do. I think it is not a good grid. It would come last in a best grid contest (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53326: A good puzzle, not difficult but fun to play (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53321: Haywood - it was the same letter - the first one. If they had "ingers", "etlocks", "eathers" or "eet", I would have. 😊 Ben as Bugs Bunny would say "Ain't I a stinker" 😎 (3 years, 2 months ago)

DAL @ #53308: For the body part one, you can also remove the first letter from each word in the set to make another word. (3 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #53306: good grid. Shane line so (too?) obvious. Piano line staring at me in the face, still didn't see it. (3 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #53312: "Age" not accepted? Zidane line too niche. Otherwise good grid, tough but fair. (3 years, 2 months ago)

TALLPAUL713 @ #53285: Loved this wall, tv quality (3 years, 2 months ago)

Synch10 @ #46560: yes, not bad (3 years, 2 months ago)

Synch10 @ #46560: @ Fam - maybe try #52873, #53149, #32155, #30845 (3 years, 2 months ago)

Edgey @ #53314: WVPuzzler please except my apologies, just a spelling error that I have now put right. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Tom @ #53312: FYI "age" didn't work for me (3 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #53321: ok. lost points for the marine animal line. If missing one letter it should at least be the same letter. Otherwise it's just an unsolvable mess. (3 years, 2 months ago)

paul @ #53302: add a to the end to get a country add a to the end to get a country add a to the end to get a country add S to the beginning .... this is very triggering! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Synch10 @ #53317: very tough to crack. I got one line after 2'15" and no more even after a refresh. I was aware of the geographical nature but could not find the group you wanted. I was also intrigued why the dependable Mr Dravid was there. Really enjoyed this puzzle, thank you (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53321: Neat. Got it. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Baron @ #53302: Good grid. I came up with an alternative answer for the carp group - all can be both nouns and verbs. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53318: I’m afraid this one was too tricky for me St John. This is second level homophones, though they seem obvious once you know. I’m more at the twisted homophone level. What was one of your recent classics? I know they make me laugh. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #46485: Aha, another moniker! Maybe you and Jmelb are setting ALL the grids 😄 I think it’s nice to resurrect a grid if you come across a good one, as they are soon lost in the thousands of entries. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53318: Some were quite tricky - good to see the accent disclaimer : D (3 years, 2 months ago)

Tom @ #6161: Accessible, intriguing and innovative (3 years, 2 months ago)

Edgey @ #53314: Tposer and Al, I get your points and was not something I had noticed. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #46485: A fun little grid and two new meanings of words learnt (3 years, 2 months ago)

Al @ #53314: There are two alternative groups for the states as it could be landlocked and not landlocked. Arizona, Colorado, Idaho and Nevada are landlocked. Alabama, Delaware, Oregon and Texas are not landlocked (3 years, 2 months ago)

Tposer @ #53314: Interesting ideas, but the states connection seemed a bit too obscure. With that many states, there are probably countless equally valid ways of dividing up (eg states bordering Utah/ states with a coastline), and not enough time to try all possibilities. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53260: Took a while, TY (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53305: Cheers Jmelb/whoever else 😄 Do people really try to mark each other down then? What’s the point? Seems a bizarre arena for targeting/trolling. Thanks for posting. I notice a few people are regular posters and I appreciate the effort. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Edgey @ #53301: Never heard of any of the answers, but that could be my fault. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53276: The partridge jumped straight out first. TY (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53305: Fam I do lots of types of grids, I like to mix it up - and under a few names too ( a moving target is harder to hit!) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Synch10 @ #53312: no chance for me. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53312: Tough grid ( but thanks for the extra info - inspired by a recent event? ) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Synch10 @ #53311: that was tougher. and cipher? well I never knew that! thank you (3 years, 2 months ago)

Synch10 @ #53310: Mmmm, not that it would make any difference to my ability to solve, but is it not Clandeboye? thank you (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #51887: I' happy to have got 7 on this one :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Synch10 @ #53309: a puzzle in two parts for me. thank you (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53305: Got the one line. Got another once grid resolved. Do you often construct your grids like this so that one connection is a hint for the others? Liked the ideas for the others but don’t think I would have got them in a month of Sundays :-) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Synch10 @ #53308: I liked that, especially ka. thank you (3 years, 2 months ago)

Synch10 @ #53304: a nice easier puzzle, and like TPoser, I fell for the same trick. thank you (3 years, 2 months ago)

Synch10 @ #53302: harder than it looked at first sight thank you (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53310: Well, what a mix! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Synch10 @ #53305: deflate stranger - yes you can laugh lol. another smashing grid (3 years, 2 months ago)

MovieBuff @ #53306: I laugh at my own blindness. shane etc genre? nah cannot be that obvious and war line thought there had to be something in them also and I could only assume deafness, did not see what was staring me in the face. Fun, thank you (3 years, 2 months ago)

koshatnik @ #53254: Excellent and original grid. Sorted out the groups and three of the connections only to draw a blank on the Blue group. Thanks for setting! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53308: Good one that. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

TPoser @ #53304: I was convinced the anagrams connection was a homophones connection! Great quiz, fooled me! (3 years, 2 months ago)

TALLPAUL713 @ #53301: Absolutely awful wall. Too niche. The criteria for a good wall is, would it, could it, be shown on the actual show for real. This has no chance, someone showing off. Never do a wall again compiler. (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53280: Definitely fiendish, but I did three of the groups, so I am pleased with myself for that. Thank you for the grid, tough as it was! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Ant @ #53261: I enjoyed this grid. Thank you. I had never realised how much overlap pokemon and coldplay had in common. :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Ant @ #53260: No, I would say difficult. Very difficult in fact. I couldn't parse any of the clues in time, and I think part of that might be that some were just terrible (the pizza line in particular were some incredibly strained defs). (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53251: I did think about that, but the problem is that 'technically' such an answer would be incorrect. 'Shell' itself is not an oil company; the official name of the oil operation is 'Royal Dutch Shell', and 'Mobil' is part of 'ExxonMobil', which actually owns 'Esso'. That leaves 'Chevron' which is the only answer in that group which is, in and of itself, an oil company; however all four are names of gas/petrol stations. I hope that helps, and by all means, have the point since you clearly had the idea. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53276: Easy but fun, and good novel groups. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Ant @ #53255: I got the Shakespeare group and the homophone group, but not the others. Still i think this was a good grid. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Ant @ #53254: Nice grid, thank you (3 years, 2 months ago)

DW @ #53251: On the Chevron category it didn't take "begin with oil companies" - that ought to be acceptable don't you think? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Synch10 @ #53276: thank you Fae (3 years, 2 months ago)

Synch10 @ #53260: Cryptic, not difficult (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fae @ #53273: Liked this a lot (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #53065: One group extremely niche Clever phrasing overall Essentially unsolvable in the time given even iwth the one obvious alliterative group out of the way. (3 years, 2 months ago)

GrooveJuice @ #53213: The Poughkeepsie line is probably too obscure; it's there just for the bit of fun in seeing if anyone was familiar with the link. I wouldn't call the rest obscure; an immensely popular novella, major cities, and some of the biggest names in a sport don't seem ridiculously elusive. (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53270: Very nice 10/10. Thank you! (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53248: Fell flat on this one, 'Lunt with bee' is clever though. Thanks for the grid! (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #53047: The Joanne group must be regionally related as oo be doo goes with either Denise or Denis(Blondie). I am old enough never to have heard a recording of the tune with Joanne. (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53028: I should say that it is a nice grid, I learned a couple of things from it. Than you, Buzzelli, for posting! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Synch10 @ #53028: Thank you WVPuzzler (3 years, 2 months ago)

Buzzelli @ #53028: @bigz, City breaks are popular short holidays and to make a maximum break 147 [155] is a target in snooker. On the cards is a common idiom for meaning something is likely to happen similar to in the cards. I hope this clarifies the issue? (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53028: Bigz, 'on the cards' and 'in the cards' are idioms with the same meaning. A 'maximum break' refers to the game of Snooker, and a 'city break' is a vacation or holiday spent in a city. All information that a quick Google search turns up. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Synch10 @ #53270: @ Ben, you could type all those in and you would probably hit one, the easier way is to use "synonym" as a cover all. You obviously solved the wall, well done and please award yourself the missing points. Thank you for playing (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #53028: Two groups have nonsense clues. The phrase is IN the cards, not on the cards. And what the H is a City or Maximum break?????? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Ben @ #53270: Need more detail when typing responses. I put "anger", "use" and "colour". (3 years, 2 months ago)

Synch10 @ #53269: A tricksy line spoiled it a little for me, otherwise good (3 years, 2 months ago)

Synch10 @ #53262: I have to agree. I tried other potential combinations such as park, bush, common etc but realised almost instantly what was required, so no chance for me. A valid grid, just.... (3 years, 2 months ago)

Ben @ #53262: Far too London-centric for my taste. (3 years, 2 months ago)

dave @ #53263: utter crap (3 years, 2 months ago)

Synch10 @ #53264: Could not unravel in time. Some references beyond my ken. Very good grid (3 years, 2 months ago)

Horatio @ #53263: Two lines in this grid requir such detailed and obscure knowledge that is is virtually impossible for someone with excellent general knowledge to even begin, and the setter may be the only person alive with the knowledge of both these areas to be able to solve their own puzzle! The word lines were also so vague as to again make solving within 3 minutes absolutely impossible. Just not much fun, which should be the point. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53264: V.good. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Horatio @ #53264: really good grid (3 years, 2 months ago)

salmacis @ #53259: Can't believe we almost simultaneously came up with the same category. Some of these were very hard to spot, to the point of being a bit too obfuscated. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Aetees @ #53261: For clairty's sake, the first comment is not by the creator of the grid. I am not sure what they are hoping to achieve but I will not be engaging with them beyond this point. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Synch10 @ #53261: Ran around but could not catch a cold (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53219: Bombed out on this and scored one. I should have got the saddle group, Frasier being spelled wrong had me searching for groups that weren't there. Dawn had me lost, as all the others in the group went after the link word. Never heard of Alone in the context of the group link. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53255: @dgms, that’s what I found out when I looked it up and was wondering if there was something else. Just seems a bit obscure when the other things you can at least see.

dgms @ #53255: I meant to say ' not unknown to non-medics or non-biologists' (3 years, 2 months ago)

dgms @ #53255: @ Fam Caecum (or Americanised as cecum), is part of the intestine. It's pronounced the same as Secombe as in Harry Secombe. It's definitely not uknown to non-medics or biologists. I knew it and I didn't even do biology GCSE, but I do watch Casualty and Holby City. I double checked the pronunciation of both Secombe and Caecum before I submitted (actually, I was going to swap Hare in instead of Secombe, but realised that would mean being very strict with the definition in the mole group, or ditching mole). (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dogma @ #53256: V.good. I only managed it because two things in the Esteban group (third line I solved) rang a bell. Portugal The really helped me with the first group I saw (had to guess one other item in that line), thank you. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53258: Found one group, saw the link of the wen group, but couldn't get all four. Had no chance with the others only heard of one in the Level group and the ink group means nothing to me. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53259: I got one, saw another link but couldn't sort the group before the time finished. Good themes, but too many red herrings of exactly the same sort that could go in the same group. Good, but frustrating not enjoyable. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hampton @ #53248: Fun grid (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53258: Got one line but not knowing the ink line made the rest of it a mess. Can see why you put it in though. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53248: Malcontent, I wondered about that too but checked a thesaurus and they used it as a synonym, so I left it. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53257: Falls out pretty easily once you dismiss the red herrings. (3 years, 2 months ago)

VCM @ #53257: Good fun. Didn't get all the groups but hey (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53255: Am I missing something with secombe? Is that commonly known? I got the other 3 in that group but have never even heard of it and when I’ve looked it up it doesn’t seem to fit with the rest of the group. Tough grid. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53248: Very good. I think Acrid should be Acid though - Acrid is more bitter, than sour, so I feel Acid is closer to your link word. I'm just nitpicking because I saw the other three in that group straight off, but solved it third, when it was obvious Acrid was the only thing left that could fit. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53255: Can't decide if it's great or terrible. Saw 2 links in the wall - couldn't get 4 of anything in time. Saw 1 more link when groups were sorted. 2 things in the boomerang group were v. obscure. I should have been able to get the 4 in the v. obvious secombe group. V. good (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #53231: Fun :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53236: The two station groups don't work, I'm afraid. There are songs called Cannon Street, Victoria (and 'Euston Station', and there's probably a song called Paddington too), and Waterloo is a London terminus station in zone one with national rail services, so there are at least three valid solutions to the grid as it is. (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53108: Thanks for the comment, David, it's a lot to take in, but I do appreciate the time you took to post your thoughts. The grid is more involved than a typical connecting wall, and I want quizzers to have enough time to read and think about the clues, and so I increased the time limit to five minutes. You are right that 'Germany' is what I hope to be a subtle hint its group as Volkswagen is a German automaker, the important part of the clue, however, is 'book of maps' (Atlas). A major factor in writing clues like this is limited space, so I try to be pithy but concise, and the negative integers that lead on Golf scoreboards lend themselves to a view, in my opinion, that 'negative is positive'. I do take your point about consistency in the color group; in my defense, I will say that it was easy to find words that include 'red', and bridging the other colors was done so as not to give the game away in that group so easily. Thank you for spotting the phantom NATO connection. It was unintentional, but if you found a new layer of complexity in the grid, I salute you! Thank you again for your comment. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53241: The lagoon group could also be a group in which all items contain double letters. None of the things in that group could be swapped into the other groups that have things with double letters. I'm glad double letters wasn't the answer though - it's such a lame link. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53248: Nice and easy apart from the applause group, because it was a different type of link from the other three. V good. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53248: Clever quality grid. Shame I didn’t know my semitones as it would have helped. I knew a few of the clues but couldn’t pull it together. Drinks line was great. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #53248: Really enjoyed that. Thanks (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53249: Had to check Essar wasn't a typo before I commented- pretty obscure. Good wall. Saw all the links before the time ran out, but only sorted 2 lines. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #53204: No Yve, dint is fine - look it up. This wall is excellent. I love the square.group. Superb. My only (very minor) quibble is that a standard abbreviation for the Prefect group is hhgttg, so that should be included in the marking scheme. But still, this is certainly a five-star wall! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #53213: A bit obscure maybe? I'd be truly astounded if anyone ever gets 10 on this one. It is easy to write impossibly difficult walls. The goal is to write ones where the response, after seeing the answers, is to say, "I should have seen that!". (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53202: @Dogma - I think you mean first group I started making, then changed my mind and scrapped after putting red herrings for it in three other groups. I ended up making the Ave group to fill in. @Fam Thank you (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53183: Thanks @Malcontent, there’s usually a reason for ‘coincidences’. I knew I’d seen something recently but couldn’t remember what. Wondered if St John had too and thought the same. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53202: Clever one Midge. Didn’t get any before grid resolved. Got two after but I like the ones that get you scratching your head. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dgms @ #53198: V.good. I can't believe I solved one of yours in under a minute, and got all the links - though the last one, the Raffles group, was a lucky guess, as I only knew my answer definitely applied to Raffles, and one other rang a bell, but had never heard of the other two. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53183: @ Fam I saw a grid a couple of days since,with a group that had the same link, but not hidden. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53202: Annoying. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dogma @ #53202: That was fairly hard. It was good, but I would have liked the red herring group to be a real one, instead of all the groups being based on different types of wordplay. The Adric group was hilariously contrived. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53181: Ahh, what a lovely grid. Got all the lines but couldn’t think of the snooker line connection because I just couldn’t think of that word in snooker, and I was thinking, ‘French yes, Glaswegian nae - what does that mean?’.

St John @ #53139: as Fam says and if it's not there, check your spam folder (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53170: Went back and did again so I could offer feedback Jollycorpse. Images that you updated in the BF line work better as one old image I just thought of NY, and unfortunately I thought Rusty Nail was a band 😄. Fry worked just as well in the other line. Can’t remember what you replaced with the horses image but since that is a good example of that connection it might be an improvement. With some image grids you have the option of ‘give up’ which resolves the grid into its lines instantly. Don’t know if this is still an option for you as a setter but it’s appreciated as if you have no clue but still want to see the answers or at least have a hand it’s good to not have to wait so long.

St John @ #53184: I don't thik you need any advice. That was a super grid and super tough. Nice use of red herrings. Subject matter was way outside my comfort zone [means I knew none of it apart from the daddy. Well laid out annotations as well. (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #52957: well known in what parallel universe (3 years, 2 months ago)

kpot @ #53163: IT IS CONSIDERED "SHOUTING" IN E MAILS, LETTERS ETC. ALSO THEY ARE NOT AS EASY TO READ, E.G. THINK OF ROAD S\AND MOTORWAY SIGNS, LOWER SACE LETTERS ARE USED AS THE EYE AND BRAIN FIND THE SHAPES MORE RECOGNISABLE, Other than that no problem - polite reply, I hope this answer's your question (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53163: Ahh, thanks :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53162: Yeah, I don’t know if Puf made it to the UK. I watched Bingo and co a lot but don’t think I could have told you any of their names. (3 years, 2 months ago)

kpot @ #53163: It is considered "shouting" in emails letters etc. Also they are not as easy to read e.g. think of road and motorway signs, lower case letters are used as the eye and brain find the shapes more recognisable. Other than that no problem (3 years, 2 months ago)

The Waiter @ #53162: Thanks for the suggestions. Have amended the grid accordingly. Puf and friends is a bit of a cult classic. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53163: @kpot, genuine and polite enquiry, what’s wrong with capitals? I don’t do it myself but don’t see any problem with it? (3 years, 2 months ago)

kpot @ #53166: that was real hard thank you (3 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #53143: That was very enjoyably sneaky. To weave such an obscure reference through it so thoroughly was excellent. (3 years, 2 months ago)

kpot @ #53165: very happy with that, and myself. took a while, and a number of combinations be fore I saw what was going on. should not have watched da vinci code [x] as that through me. very well done thank you (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53166: Yep, you had me going round in circles there! (3 years, 2 months ago)

kpot @ #53164: oh, and again, please not all uppercase letters, thank you (3 years, 2 months ago)

kpot @ #53164: Not good, more than one solution for example when you type in anagram on google or bing the first image comes up is "Listen". Venus anagram = Nevus -a nonspecific medical term for a visible, circumscribed, chronic lesion of the skin or mucosa. again think what a player might enter as an answer. as you did not accept synonyms on your previous grid, I typed in "land" as an answer - wrong it was "ground". please keep playing but take care. thank you (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #33792: This one was fun! :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

kpot @ #53163: tough request on titan, synonyms not accepted and a polite request, do not use all upper case thank you (3 years, 2 months ago)

kpot @ #53162: very good, bingo brings back memories, never heard of puf. possibly extend answers on open line? (3 years, 2 months ago)

kpot @ #53159: very good, I was well beaten (3 years, 2 months ago)

kpot @ #53156: got there in the end, lots of versions. wondered why a beer was in there. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53162: Quite good but Frustrating. First two groups v. easy, but last two impossible. One kids TV show I've never heard of and one I only just remember- I just couldn't sort then out. Also Open isn't a synonym for 'open by force'. (3 years, 2 months ago)

kpot @ #53153: pretty good, I liked the toe line (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dgms @ #53155: I was totally stuck, so gave up. Came back an hour later, and solved it it 1.30. I'm sure there are some swappable answers, but I can't find them! Very enjoyable. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Rik @ #53161: Agree with above...I think Crosswords is meant to be Crossroads (3 years, 2 months ago)

pebble @ #53161: I think you meant crossroads, not crosswords (3 years, 2 months ago)

pebble @ #53160: slightly problematic in my opinion. the famous birds connection could have also had tony hawk and florence nightingale, with birds from that category also appearing in book titles like the widow and the parrot by virginia woolf (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53160: Far too difficult for me. (3 years, 2 months ago)

pebble @ #53159: intriguing connections, took me a while bc there are some good red herrings in here. ty (3 years, 2 months ago)

Sarah Barber @ #50918: How is only connect a guessing game? Not at all you mugged us all off with that one, how can you guess the group with that. Very poor take it down or change it (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53156: Oh very good! Was blinded by vert and verde so failed to get the last two groups. Liked that. Wd! (3 years, 2 months ago)

MRH @ #53147: Great first grid. You don’t look like a novice. Harry Potter is another recurring theme. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Freeway @ #53149: number eight coming up. - sorry shouldn't mention numbers [it was a bit lazy anyway] 🧐 (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #53100: Lovely grid! :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53149: Yep, now I feel a fool 😑 Should have researched first. Good line! ( Ham or Ver this year? ) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53149: @ haha Freeway, you’ve COMPLETELY changed it, no need for that :) , but now that you have, I can’t see Ask ‘Arry 😄 ( funnily enough I’m switching between this site and FP3 at the moment - probably easy to figure with a bit of research, only been following for a few years ). (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53155: Grr, I’m a nit for not seeing that, especially as I’d seen sliver earlier. Wd. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Freeway @ #53149: @Weeble, @Fam - changed (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53154: Nice. Some nice new groups in there. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53146: Midge, I guess some of them would appeal to an older group. Little red rooster-Rolling Stones, Rooster Cogburn-John Wayne movie etc (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53150: Stand corrected, there's both! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53150: hi, its Set, liked the clamp too. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53152: Quinceañera? Tennis points? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53150: Managed to resolve this with only truly knowing one connection. Liked the clamp line. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53151: Made sense, but impossible. Found two groups saw another link after the wall revealed the lines. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53149: I was going to ask about that Weeble, as I’d seen sick stees, but it’s just the beginning. Wantstead Heath is a stretch :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53145: Yes it was! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53147: Hi Weeble, there are people far more experienced on here than me but my feedback on this is that it’s a sound grid that works well. I would allow synonyms for one of the lines ( unless it was just that I mistyped it ). And I was glad that you allowed ‘different sounds’ as a more general description for another. Some people seem to care whether their connection is accepted though it really doesn’t bother me. Finally, the same advice that I was given when I started a few weeks ago - the hardest part is coming up with original ideas. It’s hard when so many grids have been constructed but recurring themes are NATO phonetic alphabet, cluedo, dances and Hitchcock movies. It’s inevitable but don’t stress too much as there will be new people joining who haven’t seen them. You’ll get ideas as you come along. Have fun! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Freeway @ #53147: good (3 years, 2 months ago)

paul @ #53145: Ah, a walk down memory lane. Very nice. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Weeble @ #53149: Liked them all, but struggled with the numbers group being all numbers, as in the whole clue? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #39823: I think, in our own unique way, we're all CEO of Apple. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53130: Good grid. Took ages to get the Dung group (my last group) link. Couldn't see anything except Dungeon. Kicking myself once I realised. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Weeble @ #33026: Lovely stuff (3 years, 2 months ago)

Weeble @ #15242: I liked this one (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53138: Ahh, what a shame there had to be a video game based line in there, the other ones went well together and I know nothing of video games. I have to concede that the words fit in well with the rest of the grid though and serve to mislead. Wd. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dgms @ #53135: A good grid. I only got 7, as I've only heard of one thing from the Earth group, but I was very pleased with myself for spotting/sorting the John Peel group, when I know nothing about the link, apart from what pops up on the news every year. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Weeble @ #53147: Any feedback on this grid would be helpful. It’s my first one. Just trying to get into it. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53138: Got 7/10. Only sorted the last two groups because Clawgrip, Tryclyde Mouser, and Birdo all contain the names of rivers - Claw, Ouse,Clyde and Bird (3 British, one in Manitoba) - never played any Mario Bros. Maybe I'll give myself 10/10 (3 years, 2 months ago)

Weeble @ #53129: Nice grid. Really got me thinking (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53142: Great. Nearly gave up. Saw the Cally link first, but too many possibles, so had to leave it till last. The Tyne group helped as a 'way in' to the wall - would have been impossible for me otherwise. Thanks. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53146: V.good. Solved it after one refresh. Saw all four links quickly, but never heard of blithering -----, little red -------,Mud---, or -------cogburn, so it was tricky. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53146: Actually bloss, it crossed my mind! (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53109: Great, and fun! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Weeble @ #53109: Yep, had me guessing a few different ways. Well done (3 years, 2 months ago)

bloss @ #53146: Was this inspired by the Australian Bird of the Year vote?! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Freeway @ #53142: I didn't see the link until the reveal, well done (3 years, 2 months ago)

Freeway @ #53146: That was hard, I had to refresh 3 times before I gave up. kept little red legal together all the time, well done thank you (3 years, 2 months ago)

Will @ #186: Really enjoyable, nice mix of approaches, good red herrings. One of my favourites so far! (3 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #53070: Admire the ambition of a minimal wall like this. Unfortunately, I think the droids category delves too deeply into lesser-known info to be calibrated for a general audience, the dice are all a bit the same, and squares on a chessboard feels much too loose to land as a cohesive category. Something like types of paper, bingo ball possibilities, or stuff that makes a word (B4) feel like they could help the concept sing. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53137: Not that I would have got this anyway, but just to mention that this won’t work as a grid with three MacDonalds all spelt the same way ( if you try it out yourself you’ll probably see why ). (3 years, 2 months ago)

Twisty flax @ #53134: So much fun! Lots of tricks! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Kyon @ #53126: This wall is for Homos (3 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #44354: Directions were a nice one to figure out after the wall sorted itself out—and very much the tricky kind of thing they’d do (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53129: Very good. Nice mixture of groups. (3 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #52971: Tricky having the false color group and the not-quite-right fruit group, nicely done. (3 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #52920: Nice red herring with Booby---helps to recognize it's real category first. Funny enough, I managed to successfully solve despite having the wrong connection---best I could think of was animals at the end for gangLION and ballaRAT, but I think the word "ending" got me the points. Appreciated the leniency, but might be worth refining to require some form of "prep" in the answer! :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #52884: Nice overlap for the water category with Who, and the shift of meaning for POOL between categories is a nice touch. Didn't get the HAPTIC category, but seems legit. Also didn't get the ZODIAC category, and that one is actually especially tough---I'm not entirely sure how gettable it is. With the letters being internal rather than on the ends, and not particularly striking letters on their own, it may be a little too loose/hidden for me, personally. I'm also not sure what ZODIAC itself is meant to contain, is that just IA rather than a traditional intelligence agency? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53118: Really good. It was impossible to select the groups but I saw the links straight after I failed to solve the wall. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53118: @Kruptos J Tried, but ran out of characters. Actually thought it had let me, but Y disappeared again after submitting it (3 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #53108: Very interesting idea for a wall—at first, I thought you were a madman, but I gradually got the direction and appreciate trying something more complex. Since each of these are more like a Round 1 connection rather than a Round 3 group, though, very tough to try and decipher them for groups in the timeframe. A few specific thoughts, meant constructively, hope that’s okay! I’m guessing the inclusion of Germany in the Atlas clue was meant as a hint for the category, but it ends up making that clue not as direct a match for its category like the others, I think, if that makes sense. The golf clue gets the point across, but “negative” feels slightly imprecise as a reference to low scores. The “every man” clue may be less pinned than the others in its category—if intentional, no worries, but if not, maybe another specific proper name like the other three would be a slightly tighter set. And in the colors, the puzzler in me always wants the set to consistently cross between words—RED is a bit looser than the others both for being such a short word/fragment to miss, and because it doesn’t bridge. My focus on the tightness and directness of the groups mostly comes from the more complex clues, to make sure everything fits together precisely given the extra layer of solving. Out of curiosity, by the way, were golf, polo, and India an intentional red herring category for the NATO alphabet? Devious, if so, I couldn’t imagine that wasn’t one of the groups! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53107: Dane really put me off - I thought it was there for a reason - please correct.

WVPuzzler @ #53109: Thanks for the grid, I liked the theme! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53082: Thanks Jmelb. Like I say, I was actually trying to make them trickier as initially I thought both topics would be easy to guess. I had easier examples but I swapped them out 😄 ( bnn, ppl, grp - maybe they only seem obvious to the setter ). (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53107: Tough grid, got nowhere with it, knew a few groups but couldn't put them together. Five stars for Kinsey Millhone! Thanks. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53082: Thanks Barry. It’s so difficult as when you’re setting a grid like this the clues seem too obvious so you try to make it more difficult. It was only looking back on it I realised it was fairly tricky. I’ve changed a couple of the titles so they stand out more. How about the short ones, could you see them straight away?

Pookington @ #53061: Very fun grid! I got all the lines with five seconds to spare, but was only able to identify three of the connections - the "hardtack" line refers to a subject about which I know nothing. So, I got 7/10, and was very pleased with that. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jimdas @ #53063: Where is the gavroche though... confuzzled (3 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #53070: awful (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53084: Good ideas. Would be ok if it all made logical sense.The Ashes group made no sense - Wimbledon and Ashes don't wear white - too far removed from the clues to work. O O O was a big stretch to go in a group where all the other members could be followed by the link word. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53082: Thanks St John. I checked and it had gone to the spam folder though I don’t know why as previous ones had gone to the main folder. (3 years, 2 months ago)

JoeySalads99 @ #53084: Unbelievably bad. Clues are incoherent and the creator should be ashamed of himself. (3 years, 2 months ago)

JayDee @ #53084: Clever, very good, well thought-out. (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53082: very good though I mixed a tome and an originator so went round in circles. Have you done the obvious? sent your email address correctly and checked your spam folder? (3 years, 2 months ago)

quodlibet @ #53018: Beautifully done! A couple of athletes unfamiliar to me - maybe I don't read the sports pages enough. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53082: Bit of an easy one I’ve realised but the last two grids I’ve done I haven’t been sent a link so that I can modify them. Has anyone else had the same experience? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Freddgar @ #53063: Gavroche... well known ?? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Loin El Richie @ #53076: Another discontinued American breakfast cereal to memorise. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #53067: The foot puns do not work. Bad group. Otherwise ok. (3 years, 2 months ago)

JesseBlack @ #53019: Oh nice spot Midge thanks for pointing that out, I have made a couple of changes so hopefully there’s a unique solution now. :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

d @ #53070: Loved this one, figured out all the connections but had only got the dice group and managed to solve it for a ten getting two groups in the last ten seconds (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53076: Thanks, that was fun. And a bit of culinary education too. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Ant @ #53061: Very good. Thank you (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53067: Nice and easy except for the not homophones group. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53064: Nice - fairly easy. Two very samey groups made it harder. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53057: Got ten but by pure luck. Saw all the links quickly. Sorting the Eileen-Charming group from the Congo-Buster group was tricky as I'd not heard of half of four things in the two groups. Trickier because two charmings went into the same group, and I'd tried to avoid that. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53061: Great. Really tricky. Got the mongrel royal group, gave up when I could see two more groups but only three of one and two of another. Restarted five mins later, solved it in 1.50 and got all the links. Guessed the Hardtack link, because of Hardtack - had no idea about the other clues for til I checked. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53067: Very tough. I didn’t get anywhere with it but good to see one of your classic lines in there. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Liam @ #53049: I looked at this initially and thought oh hell this isn't a medium one but i got them all! nice grid. (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53066: downloaded twice - ignore this one (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #52846: sun group inconsistent 2 of 4 pastas are really obscure to the general public so that group has to fall into place by lucky elimination of the sun group half successful (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53050: good one (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53019: Really good ideas, but (clandest)in(e) and (c)over(t) can be swapped over, as can (th)under and (ra)in, so it doesn't have a single correct solution,like a wall on the show is supposed to. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #53044: Very nice. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53048: Really good, and solvable in spite of mistakes. Emic should be Mic. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53020: Easy pease. Post your fastest time. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53004: Great ideas. Couldn't see the grouse group link so couldn't sort it from the crane group, but once the wall resolved I saw the grouse link straight away. Unfortunately swan and goose can be swapped between their two groups, so it doesn't work like a wall on the show. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53010: Good, but 'Overwatch'? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #53012: Ok, but needs editing. The brand is Green & Black's. Missing the apostrophe s off the end had me thinking it was a red herring (I've also never heard of two of the other brands). The neckline group didn't accept neckline as the link. The organs of the body group didn't accept body parts. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hannah @ #52997: Taking back Jonathan reference - I should have doubled checked, my bad - you can now enter smug mode! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hannah @ #52997: I am keeping Dillon, as it was done purposely. I looked in my dry store and no surprise all out of veronica, nevertheless grid altered so it works. It is really annoying to find misspellings, " Jonathan as 'Johnathon " when in reality it is neither but - Jonathon, infuriating isn't it? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #53013: Really good! Nice mix of topics. Especially liked the backwards animals. (3 years, 2 months ago)

147 @ #53005: You should accept Apostles as well as Disciples (3 years, 2 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #53012: A few clanging mistakes here: Green & Black should have a possessive "'s" on the end, and they're primarily known for their chocolate rather than their (much smaller) ice cream range. Walls should also have an apostrophe. Also, "straight across" is generally known as a "slash" neckline. There's some nice ideas in this wall, and I like the "_eye" group, but I'm baffled as to why this was rated 5 out of 5 when there are so many errors. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #52997: Annoying. I tried for ages to get the misspelling of Jonathan as 'Johnathon' to reveal something, in the same way as the misspelling of Dylan as 'Dillon' is what made that fit into the herbs group. Veronica is herb, so Veronica Lake and Basil Rathbone could be swapped over. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #52946: Thank you St John! You’re welcome to Dylon Glegs. Long may it live on. May it become as ubiquitous as racecar 😄 (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #52946: Thanks @Mister Tom, helpful feedback. You’re right, there were no crossovers but my idea being with this format that if you can find a way in with one clue you can race around to find the others that fit just for fun. As with all grids, for some this will be too easy and for others just pure nonsense. I have to put my hand up, I had to google ISO 8601 to see what you were talking about. Duly noted. I thought originally you might be referring to people as d***s 😄 (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #52946: As you say "marmite" ugh bovril man me, I actuall saw the O clue late in but got it and it made me smile. Was going to [may well still] use the Dylon Glegs [brill one I thought] in another aspect. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #53007: please add explorers to South Pole group answers (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #53008: nice. Please add Zodiac as an acceptable answer (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53010: Liked this one. Quite proud of seeing enchilada first and working back from there. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #53010: Not bad, got two lines ty (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53009: Liked the Dark line ( even though I didn’t get it, it was original to me ). Breaking works ok in its line as it’s an obvious clue, but I didn’t see the It line because of the variety of forms. Some people like that though as it makes it a bit harder. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #52946: Thanks for setting. It's not the first of its type. I quite like the offbeat puzzly ones (and set them) but feel this lacks what all grids need- crossovers. ( maybe they were there and i just missed them, i dunno). Ultimately quite straightforward without them. Also please use ISO 8601 when writing d***s :-) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #53008: Surprised myself with 7. Very nice grid indeed! :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53006: 😄 (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #52946: Just goes to show that some grids are like marmite. It’s a work in progress and all comments appreciated ( not least because it at least shows you that people are trying them as within a day you’re off the page ). I changed the O clue @Nighteyes. Thanks all. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #53004: You could change one of them to parrot ( or a less obvious one if you could think of one ). I thought of goose but that would be interchangeable with swan. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hampton @ #52914: Good grid. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hannah @ #53001: this one a bit easier (3 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #52973: Thanks ;-) it probably needed a group that wasn't a word prefix or suffix one (other than the false trails). Once you see the potential for herring though it is hard to unsee. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #52997: Grrr, kind of irritating as I saw the herbs and also numerous bodies of water so thought the whole grid was going that way. Didn’t get beyond one line therefore. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #34635: This is really good. First three fell into place intuitively and the last one by default. Nice variation on a typical grid. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #52990: Not sure if this should be medium or hard, or whether the herrings were sufficiently red. But I had fun making it :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #52967: Started this one expecting a score of zero, but ended up getting 7/10. I got the groups right, but incorrectly identified the Kardashians one. Awesome grid! :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #52792: This one was a lot of fun! :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

GOOD STUFF @ #52989: These are the grids I live for! (3 years, 2 months ago)

smart brownie @ #52989: @here this isn't instagram or something. Also i know how to spell knight i just slipped. Also knight and dragon are in fairy tales and so are horses and towns (3 years, 2 months ago)

Moondog @ #52973: 0/10. You destroyed me! I might on a good day have got two groups but the others although obvious when you see the answers would have beaten me on my very best day.

SeedyEm @ #52915: Good grid, but I'm not sure it's unique. I would say that Bank and Embankment are interchangeable. Still fun! (3 years, 2 months ago)

JD @ #3775: hmmm (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #52955: Let it run to the end just to see the resolved grid. Didn’t become much clearer even when I read the solution. Over my head. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #27181: Sooooooo many red herrings! Got it in the end, though. Nicely done! :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

paul @ #52942: Very nice. And I like that even though I didn't see the connection in the last group, it accepted any word with an A as correct!! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #34633: Thanks Pookington ( I think we like similar grids ). Couldn’t figure out the per/chance connection, annoyingly. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #34827: I got nothing, but it's a brilliant grid anyway :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Tobi @ #52921: Tremendously clever, took me a couple of minutes to get! (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #52802: Nice grid, Thanks for posting! As someone who begins constructing most of my grids with a 'precedes' or 'follows' group, and as others frequently say, in these groups, it's best to have the words all follow or precede. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Spencer @ #52885: Gahh, you're absolutely right. You'd think that recently rereading 'Copperfield' would have cemented that in my mind, but clearly I took a few liberties upon remembering that it was something to do with shoe blacking.

St John @ #52802: I believe the reference is the US version of a boy scout badge [lighting fires, tracking etc] which is sewn to the uniform. DC1234 is mixing both US and UK as can be seen by the flag next to his/her identifier. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Krista Lonsdale @ #52784: Agree Deutchlander. I guess s/he was trying to add more males names but Marco ans Adolf were so un-English,so unlike the other 4. But not being a viewer of Minion stories knowing why he picked those 4 very English names was beyond me. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Krista Lonsdale @ #52873: Knight where made me laugh anyway!!🤣 But then so did the cheese accompaniments.🤣🤣 (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #52904: Not a scooby. Simply don’t operate at this level. Got as far as putting Naranja and Appelsin together, then looked to put ‘Japanese looking’ words together. Saw Cuervo, thought tequila :) Someone is going to have to have a pretty broad knowledge base. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Krista Lonsdale @ #52880: I got it all but only just in time because there were loads of crossovers! That`s the sign of a good grid! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Krista Lonsdale @ #52897: Agree with Midge. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #52903: Quite good. Having the Skew group and the Mottingham group in the same wall was a bit much. Solved the wall in a minute,would have guessed the Mottingham link if it hadn't seemed like a repetition. Knew two of that group, another rang a bell, but itseemed like a repeat so I looked for a word link instead. (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #52904: I like a challenge, and all info [as long as it is accurate] is valid. Therefore I marked this grid highly, but I should like to know if the Aran line [good herring btw] is sufficiently "gettable" ty (3 years, 2 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #52853: I added a star for the Alan Partridge reference, but dropped one for not allowing "nationality" or "demonym" as an answer. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #52903: 7/10 this time. Didn’t know Maryland etc. Good work on coming up with new ideas. (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #52902: @Fam, bask in your youth! The grid did need a little change anyway. I bought Go Wild as well and think I used it one of my grids not so very long ago. Embarrassed to admit, the first record I bought was "Billy Don't be a Hero" by Paper Lace (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #52902: Ahh @Barrymore/Stjohn don’t make any amendments on account of my fuzzy brain :) I have pockets of knowledge floating around in a sea of confusion. Just a little bit too young/uncool for Newman. First record I bought was Bow Wow Wow - Go Wild in the Country. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dagoba @ #52899: Good. The Office group was sneaky - never heard of any of those characters. Is it the US version? I couldn't sort that from the belief group, as I've never heard 'Creed' used as a person's name. I couldn't see what overlap there could be between the two groups (belief, and 'names') except for Faith. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #52902: Took ages sorting the first group I spotted (Bisto), and had to restart, but got 10/10. Don't like the Bisto group - feels wrong they all go after different things that sound similar, but couldn't sort the other groups till I had that and the Merkin group out of the way. The wool link was obvious, but until there was only that and the witch group left, I couldn't sort it out. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Barrymore @ #52902: thanks @Fam - have amended Pope, a bit surprised you did not know Newman, 1979 No1 (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #52902: 4/10 for me. Saw Whites and Bisto but didn’t see the link as I don’t know the other two. (3 years, 2 months ago)

paul @ #52889: good. the book titles are also all movie titles. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #52889: This is not as hard or as random as it first looks ( though admittedly I got the Cleopatra group then went blind ). One group is obscure but the other three are there if you slow down. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #52868: Really good! Thank you. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hamburger @ #52873: Well made and good fun. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Krista Lonsdale @ #52822: I though they were trains! I wondered what a river train was? 🤣 (3 years, 2 months ago)

Krista Lonsdale @ #52843: Solved in 21 seconds!! Vegetabes and metric a bit too straightfwd perhaps? But I still enjoyed it.TY. (3 years, 2 months ago)

barry womble @ #52868: Absolutely brilliant, thanks. (3 years, 2 months ago)

barry womble @ #52864: tremendous. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Krista Lonsdale @ #52852: 1 less `words within words` would`ve made it harder. But -hey-I like getting 10/10. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Krista Lonsdale @ #52868: Made me think! (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #52633: The retronyms are half right, half nonsense. Your scrambled countries falls apart unless guessed out of desperation. Aneurysm is not spelled with an i. (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #52631: Very niche after the one obvious group. Not for a wide audeince. This is like putting up the names of 4 Presidents, then the marks of limos in which they rode, then the names of their chauffeurs, and then the names of the chauffeurs' dogs. This just carried on down irrelevant paths. (3 years, 2 months ago)

RainyDays @ #52866: Missed my confetti cuz I typed "John" instead of "Johns" :( But good grid! (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #52625: Why not just 16 clues for Deus ex Machina or some other concept? This brought back horrid memories of my Shakepeare professor at uni who was an etymologist and didn't care about storylines, the beauty of the speeches, or anything but niche trivia. This is academic narcissism taken to a new height to produce a new low. Horrid. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #52791: nice (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #38916: @Pookington. If you like this style of grid check out those by truecockney. An example so you can find them via the name is #19213 (3 years, 2 months ago)

Woodie @ #52861: with thanks to LittleQuill for the inspiration (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #38916: The most fun grids are the ones where I'm racking my brains for the first two and a half minutes, then it all suddenly clicks into place and I end up solving it with just a few seconds left. This is one of the most fun grids. :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #52833: Nice. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #52855: Very nice. Thanks. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #52856: Great grid, thanks. The Hotel group did not accept "phonetic" as an answer. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Woodie @ #52852: enjoyable (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pesto party @ #52833: nice grid really fun (3 years, 2 months ago)

AndyP @ #52851: Quite a favourable grid and completed fairly quickly. A couple of my links didn't take (looks like you needed to write "religious leaders" out in full when maybe "relig" should have been enough), but that's first world problems. Cheers. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hamburger @ #52846: Good grid. I only got one line right. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #52845: This was definitely not easy ( for me! ) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #52851: Got there in the end (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #52852: Quite dastardly when your brain’s not in that mode but I got them all. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jonboy @ #52849: nice one, not too hard, thanks (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dogma @ #52842: Nice and straightforward, thanks. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #52844: This was clever. You got me with all those fruits though the resolved grid made sense. Wd, ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hamburger @ #52792: Well done. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #52850: At last, one I can do at this time of the morning 😄 (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #52847: Maybe my brain hasn’t woken up yet but this seemed a bit tough and obscure. Got the English line but unaware of the connection. Comminuted line should have been doable but I didn’t know that term. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dogma @ #12469: Brilliant ideas, but it doesn't work as a grid, as there are several directly swappable answers. Bow, or Axe could be swapped from their group, with Spear. Sword, from another group could also be swapped with Spear. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #52849: Learnt something with wine, but looking up stop and cube they seemed a bit more obscure. (3 years, 2 months ago)

JD @ #3500: You don't know much about music? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #52839: Very nicely done! I completely failed to solve it, and kicked myself when I saw some of the answers. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #52843: Solved in 27 seconds. Nice and easy. :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

d @ #52761: damn not knowing widow and falling for the trump red herring stumped me. Missed all the groups but managed 3 connections. The verb category was a little vague for my taste (maybe if they were missing the same letter? that might be hard not to make obvious I suppose) but a good tough grid all the same. (3 years, 2 months ago)

corrector @ #52833: Napoleon III (Charles Louis Napoléon Bonaparte; 20 April 1808 – 9 January 1873) was the first president of France (as Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte) from 1848 to 1852 (3 years, 2 months ago)

Sam @ #52833: Wasn't Bonaparte an emperor rather than a president? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Johnny @ #52756: This one very good. We like this one. This one is a good one. It is liked. (3 years, 2 months ago)

sark @ #31483: The "name" category is inconsistent. "Second name" and "Pen name" are made up of two words, while "Nickname" and "Forename" are both single words. (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #52592: 2 of the 4 go beyond niche this was a total waste of 3 minutes of my life (3 years, 2 months ago)

JadeSM @ #52835: The derrick line and group of animal lines are pretty obscure (which is fine I suppose, just difficult) and I would try to avoid mixing up if the associated word goes before or after the clue like they do in the other two lines (e.g. jehovah's witness vs witness protection and house arrest vs white house), just my two cents though this is all preference (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #52584: The Saint Saens was not going to be guessed by many, including me. The other 3 took seconds to put together, No real red herrings. And, Nothappy apparently skipped music class that day. We can likely presume that Berlioz and Debussy also qualify as obscure. Thank you for indeed not including Pacman, Mario Bros, or comic book superheroes in any groups, as well as omitting soccer players. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #52833: Nice (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #52582: get the H out concord (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #52575: Nice amusing component with complicated (3 years, 2 months ago)

Trillium @ #52821: Fast and fun! (3 years, 2 months ago)

DoubleHappy @ #52723: Check out the Spanish original version of Vanilla Sky - "Abre los oyos" (open your eyes) with subtitles - it's awesome (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dogma @ #52823: I thought it looked simple and some of it was. I loved the Doormouse group, and the mean Fortune group. I wasn't so impressed by th other two. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #52822: Nice and straightforward, with enough red herrings to make it interesting. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #52812: This one's good. I failed. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #52810: Nice idea, but needs a lot of editing to work as a grid and to make any sense. Even the stage version of The Wizard of Oz is not by Lloyd Webber - though he collaborated in adapting it, and it seems odd to have Bonnie & Clyde in the grid twice. (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #52542: Put Clinton in the right group by chance. Got the 42 connections other than him until I saw he fit in. Nice grid. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #52817: This was a really good one! It stumped me for a bit, then made me feel awfully clever when I got it! :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Woodie @ #52812: very good (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #52823: Easy, once I saw what was going on. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #52782: Excellent for British history nerds. I, unfortunately, am not a British history nerd, so I got a total score of zero. Learned a bunch of stuff, though. Very nice grid! :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #52778: Good grid and some new facts too. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #52777: Yes to what Stjohn said please. Some stuff you can look up yourself ( like popcorn ), but I can’t see postulating either. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #52759: I got 7, largely because what I know about wrestling can be written on the head of a pin with loads of room to spare. A very good grid indeed! :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dogma @ #52778: Should 'Maiss' be 'Meiss'? I wasn't sure which was phonetically more plausible for that group. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #52764: This one was brutal! I got a great big fat zero! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #52773: Interesting, but three groups were basically overlapping, so without knowing in advance what you were after, it was impossible to sort the grid completely. (3 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #52778: Djibouti rolls of the tongue a lot easier than it's predecessor The French Territory of the Afars and the Issas (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #52769: Very good, but two of the homophones aren't homophones. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #52778: I got five. Officially six, but I took a point away from myself because, while I got the countries, I didn't realise they were named after cities. (3 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #52777: solved the wall but expand answer please, especially shorthaired thank you (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #52778: Good wall. Not too many red herrings. It all made sense and worked. Difficult to phrase the link for the Djibouti group, but it accepted my answer. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #52771: Ever so slightly specialist. I do like playing the ‘press random buttons for 3 mins and see what you get’ game though and I got one line. (3 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #52770: I wait to see your next offering (3 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #52776: Should have refreshed, knew them all but could not segregate in time. wd ty (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #52770: I thought you’d done walls before Pookington. I only managed two lines but thought it was a good wall. I appreciate any walls that people put up as it takes time and I’ve only managed a few myself. Thanks. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Aussie @ #52775: Should be easy for Aussies (3 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #52770: That's an excellent wall for anyone let alone a beginner. Quite tough, plenty of crossovers and herrings, but doable with effort. Well done. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Freddgar @ #52770: I thought very good, solved all, but didn't have a clue on the Exit line. It's an age thing, first album I bought was Buddy Holly and the Crickets! Nice spread of subjects A red herring or two, what more could anyone want ? More please, I enjoyed playing, you win 10-7 Thanks for posting (3 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #52730: nice and easy does it every time (3 years, 2 months ago)

James @ #52770: Definitely. A highly accomplished first effort, I'd say (a very good wall regardless of the experience of the setter) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #52773: I got two! :( (3 years, 2 months ago)

Pookington @ #52774: I'm embarrassed to say I didn't get a single one! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Kruptos J @ #52769: One group galloped away with my time but enjoyed the others TY! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Kruptos J @ #52751: Liked this, TY (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dogma @ #52757: Okay, but the misspelling 'seperate' made me waste time looking for hidden words and discarding the synonyms group for a while, and the Composer homophones don't all work as homophones. I loved the Salad fingers reference. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Yerushalmi @ #52758: There isn't a unique solution. You can switch Corn with any of Tapioca, Bread, or Rice and it would still work. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #52760: Unsatisfying (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dagoba @ #52759: Fairly easy, except for the Suplex group - I didn't get the link for that. Separating that group from the Bloody Mary group was a little tricky, but I just chose the ones I knew fitted, and they worked. I was lucky really that didn't know all four from the Suplex group could also gone in the Bloody Mary group. (3 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #52761: too difficult for my lack of knowledge, and therefore the trump red herring was wasted which is a shame ty (3 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #52759: easy enough but I was left with a possible eight alcoholic beverages. got them though wd ty (3 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #52758: very good, the rye line was a switch in themes which made it more difficult [but that's fair enough] and again the UK/US differences made it more difficult over here, well for me at least. wd ty (3 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #52757: that young lad's granny's house must have had a big attic! Gave you five stars BUT deducted seven stars for the finger reference. day, dress, bowl first thing I saw and when informed "pap pap oops" grrrr. all said good grid ty (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #52760: This turns into a fiendish grid if you approach it like a typical grid. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #52756: Well, maybe I’m in a bad mood but I just found this infuriating. Kept thinking it must be relatively easy and was trying to find a logical way in but got nowhere. Once I saw the resolved grid I realised that I never would have got it. Bravo. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Tilly @ #52727: Midge, you will find tubs of "Sweet Shop" in ANY British supermarket. Chocs, flowers, dinner, bubbly can be individually or together can be associated with any celebration [hint: - refers to red herring "celebrations"] I accepted "gif,pres,tok" as answers - used Valentine as a valid example. Good grief (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #52729: Nice how the theme ties it all together. I only managed one line though on the basis that they all sounded whacky :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Woodie @ #52727: yes it does, try it with no hyphen (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #52727: Ok but the Valentine's group could apply to any anniversary, birthday or celebration - there's nothing specific to romance or valentine's Day about any clues in the group. The chocolates group didn't accept chocolate, and I've never heard of 'sweet shop' as a brand name of prepacked sweets. (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #52697: ....and by Ne, I meant neon, not neodymium..... (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #52697: Sure, for example, take the chemical symbol for cobalt, Co, and the symbol for Neodymium, Ne, put them together and you get the word 'cone'. Einsteinium, Es, and Gold, Au, gives you Esau. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dogma @ #52715: I completely failed to get any groups, or spot the links. V good. I should have seen the panic group, but have never heard of the link for the paprika group, or of cobbers and bullets in reference to their group. The Hustler group was good, but I didn't see bit because, I think, to fit in that group, it should be HUSTLE not HUSTLER. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #52693: very pleasant! ty (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #52710: Good but I feel a bit cheated by the bloom line. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #52715: A couple in the picnic line specific to Oz I think, and couldn’t get the paprika line as just not familiar. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #52711: Very good. Kicked myself for not seeing the Woe connection as I’d used that poem to construct a clue for one of my grids. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #52697: Thanks for trying to explain WVPuzzler, but something in my brain is not engaging because I don’t even know what you mean by that. How can a word be made of two symbols? I looked up Esau and it says elder son of Isaac and the other words are straightforward but the explanation is ‘2, two, chemical elements, symbol’. Apologies if I’m just being stupid but can you elaborate? Thanks (3 years, 2 months ago)

Tilly @ #52695: Hi Rik, I have tidied up the grid as you proposed. I did it the other way as one item could have fitted three lines and I wanted one line to be obvious to reduce the possible cross overs. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Freddgar @ #52692: Nice n easy 10s all round Thanks for posting (3 years, 2 months ago)

barry womble @ #52693: One of the best grids for a while. Thanks. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Rik @ #52695: 6/10 but no idea how...very difficult. Not sure I like the takeaway group with some being types of takeaway (e.g. pizza) some being slang for brands (e.g. Kentucky) and some being individual orders you would get at types of takeaway. Just didn't feel like a clean group IMO! (3 years, 2 months ago)

barry womble @ #52691: brilliant. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #52697: ?? I have no idea what you mean by the fear line. (3 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #52693: Thank you Jane, but if you look closely I did say NOT Julie Andrews, Marni played Sister Sophia. I was fortunate with this inclusion because i thought her name ended with an 'e', when I checked and saw not, it happily opened up a whole new line (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jane @ #52693: Very good. The inclusion of “Marni” was particularly clever; I spent ages on the Hitchcock films! (Though I’m pretty sure Julie Andrews did her own singing in the Sound of Music; Marni Nixon was in it, but she played her own part.) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Tilly @ #52692: Nice grid, could I advise choosing the same upper/lower case for all your grids. Just a small point of interest, and in no way affects this grid, this is the gun associated with him but it was not his favourite. He was ordered to swap his favourite a .25 Beretta for the now iconic Walther PPK (3 years, 2 months ago)

Tilly @ #52691: I liked that [wanted to nit-pick but could not] 5* wd ty (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #52684: Clever format :) Got the synonyms then another group by chance. Once the grid was resolved I could use the explanation for the synonyms to guide me for the rest. Very satisfying. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Tilly @ #52687: thanks for feedback, Rex maybe a common but not generic name but in this "specific" case Rex has 29 accredited appearances in movies [IMBd] . "Rubber and Crane is what you'd do"? are not smooching and drinking also things you'd do? Have amended the wood line, but as for vagueness? I think not. Having said that all opinions [other than facetious or personal insults etc] expressed are valid. Thank you (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dogma @ #52673: Nice. Unambiguous links, that still weren't too obvious to spot. Took me a while to see that Queen of Ethiopia fitted into the group it did, and I'd never have linked the Flex group without seeing them grouped together after I'd solved the other groups. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dogma @ #52684: Good. Funny. I picked out the first group without seeing the link, got the synonyms group second, , then separated my last two by accident. Still couldn't get the link for the first group, then when it was revealed, the two others I'd not known were obvious. I ended up with 7/10 without really solving it at all. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dogma @ #52686: V. Good, but, at a push, it could be argued that tip and tine are swappable. Find something else to substitute for tip, then you can avoid confusion. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcolm @ #52663: Ralph not ralf! plus didn't like that some of the sisters were fictional, some real. Not bad though (3 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #52663: How many ways do you want to spell that chap's name? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #52670: Nice grid, but please improve your answers. Did not accept “Occupations” for the jobs, and did not accept “Formula one” for F1 Also, why do you need to specify the sex of the tennis players? Surely “tennis players” is enough. (3 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #52676: I did not know that about harmonicas. Thanks, fun grid. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcolm @ #52676: Think the pairs one needs some work - coordinates can be more than two dimensional and aces could come in ones twos threes or fours (or more depending on the game you're playing). I did keep trying to put dragon balls into that category, but that's on me. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #52656: Good grid. Just a little thing though - you gave the Geta line away by being the only words you capitalised. I got duped by Scooby doo though so still missed two lines :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Rik @ #52632: Okay grid but has some problems IMO. Lagoon and seabed are not necessarily associated with reef (I think), whereas they are all linked by sort of watery geography. 'Detective' didn't work for the detective category either. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Kit @ #52656: Some good red herrings! I got the emperor clue simply by clicking on all the capitalized boxes so that could be made a bit tougher in future. (3 years, 2 months ago)

JD @ #3037: Fillion? Medieval? - we don't all play minecraft - better things to do with our time - really a load of nonsense; poor, poor, poor (3 years, 2 months ago)

Freddgar @ #52656: Very good grid. Guessed (correctly) at two lines, failed everything else. Learned something on the Augustus line. Nice red herring on the scooby doo line. (rhyming slang in the UK for clue) As in "I didn't have a Scooby Doo", sums up my effort 😊 Thanks for posting (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #52654: Great, but Fait Accompli means the decision has already been made, rather than that there was no choice, so it's not a good fit with the other three phrases, which all mean the situation is an impasse, with no possible good outcome. That said, it's the only group I got (3 years, 2 months ago)

scotts03 @ #52636: @paul - the very same, finding Drake got me back on the right path. Also was looking for countries with Lbr - Liberia. Ended up 10/10. Loved it. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #52625: @dogma That's harsh, but pretty true. I don't get how Paris and Mercurtio count as 'neutral'. (3 years, 2 months ago)

scotts03 @ #52599: Excellent. Very well done. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dogma @ #52625: Not great, a couple of interesting ideas,but needs editing, to be valid, and needs more variety to be interesting. Two groups are two similar, need an encyclopedic knowledge of the play to differentiate them, and really to be a mindreader. In fact bthey could be separated into two different, equally valid (arguably slightly better)groups - characters who die in the play and those who don't. The other two groups are obvious to sort from each other, but impossible to find the right terminologies for the link. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dogma @ #52635: Very good, but couldn't blackeyed Susan and Marguerite be swapped between groups, giving two valid solutions? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dogma @ #52645: Good, but your autocorrect must have changed Trenet to Tenet, which had me struggling, as I thought that was a deliberate misspelling, hiding another word. I managed to solve it with thirty seconds to go though. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dogma @ #52637: Only just solved it - so many red herring groups, and two links I could kind of see, but only knew two or three in the group that fitted. V good (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #52643: I’d say this was at least a hard. At the level I’m at ‘Mario’ seems reasonable, ‘Fox’ you might get if you were a fan, ‘Bit’ you’d get if you were aware of a few more terms than me. But ‘Cheer’ just seems a bit of a stretch. Do regular players get lines like Cheer? Thanks for posting. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #52576: Nice. Ideas were good,nice and easy except the O group. I only saw that connection once the grid was resolved. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Midge @ #52597: Nice groups, but let down by too many swappable answers. Not a good grid. (3 years, 2 months ago)

dgms @ #52597: Good categories/links, but it needs a lot of editing. There's one wrong/completely made up answer, and two pairs of answers that could be directly swapped between two groups, so it doesn't work like a real wall, with only one solution, and can't be solved in the time/number of lives. Frustrating because the it could have been really good. (3 years, 2 months ago)

dogma @ #52597: Great ideas, and the two groups that work are fun to solve, but the grid doesn't work as a grid. Au, Fr, Be and Co, can all be swapped between the chemical symbol group and the internet country domain group, which means there are several valid solutions to the grid, when there should only be one. It would be almost impossible to stumble over the solution you've decided is the correct one, without being a mind-reader. Also, Ct isn't a chemical symbol for any element that actually exists (Centurium was a name proposed for element 100, but that was rejected in favour of Firmium). (3 years, 2 months ago)

Fam @ #52576: @Dagoba. That’s the beauty of these grids I guess. There'll be some connections that one person thinks ridiculously obscure and another person thinks obvious. The more grids I do the more techniques I become aware of so that’s another trick I’ll have to look out for ( though I still don’t think I would have got it ). The only line I got was the Castle one and that was only because I thought the words ‘looked’ like they went together, a cunning technique of mine :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #52213: In early 1967 Berry Gordy renamed "The Supremes" to "The Supremes featuring Diana Ross", in Autumn of the same year this was changed to Diana Ross and The Supremes and this remained until 1970. Therefore they were "officially" Diana Ross and The Supremes 1967-1970. Many notable music acts have changed their names just ask the Quarrymen.

Rik @ #52280: 10/10...fun quiz...maybe a bit too easy? or maybe I was just oblivious to the red herrings (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dagoba @ #52460: I was sure there was a magazine called Underground, so totally failed to sort the London and magazines groups. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Rik @ #52450: 3/10...tantalisingly close on a couple of groups. Really good wall IMO (3 years, 2 months ago)

Cloud @ #50918: I got tripped up by Star as it's also a card in the Major Arcana - should've seen the bigger picture! Otherwise, this was very fun. Happy to report "Kings" is also an accepted answer for the emperor one :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dagoba @ #52456: Great, fun ideas. Found it frustrating that most if the hidden words were hidden in fairly long (in the context of a wall) phrases and were mostly too well hidden for me, to be honest. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Rik @ #52455: 0/10...Too hard for me! Might have got the K connection in hindsight but was too dejected from the difficulty to really try. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Danni @ #52455: Great grid! Loved the 'another hero' group. :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Rik @ #52454: 6/10...Made all the groups, but just put 'animals' instead of stripes; and for some reason didn't see the Mario Kart items! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Rik @ #52456: 4/10...struggled with both hidden words groups. Couldn't even see them once it was resolved. Not a bad wall, but maybe two groups of hidden words was a bit much? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Freddgar @ #52397: Very good grid, must've taken a while to create, good work. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #52390: I think someone already mentioned should br tring not ring according to your solution. Not that that would have helped me. Scored nothing by holding onto Suez. This was tricky. I personally think that the connections like the one for the honey group are too obscure. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #52398: Good grid, liked the red herrings 10s all round Thanks for posting (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #52398: Good medium grid (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #52395: 👍 ( sometimes it’s nice on the lines like the floyd ones to give the full answers, just for interest’s sake. I know two of them but not the others ). (3 years, 3 months ago)

werdna @ #52395: Enjoyable! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #52397: Novel grid Gorgon. I think it was on an episode of QI that they said that there were more words that broke the rule than those that obeyed it. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Gorgon @ #52397: It was actually harder to think of ones that obeyed the "rule" (3 years, 3 months ago)

eBarnz @ #52361: Nice grid! (3 years, 3 months ago)

d @ #52248: haywood that's the best feeling isn't it? (3 years, 3 months ago)

Chris @ #52372: Not a chance for the non-americans, myself included. Complexity was good. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Est289 @ #52377: Brilliant grid! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Freeway @ #52057: liked it, caulk is to fill gaps , the other well not really a building material as such, but no matter. (3 years, 3 months ago)

bigz @ #52067: 2 of the 4 are out there (3 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #52385: Nice. I was just planning a grid with a clarkson group in (3 years, 3 months ago)

bigz @ #52057: Caulk has no homophone. That's how it is spelled. (3 years, 3 months ago)

d @ #52356: I feel the exact same haha (3 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #52358: Personally i'm not a fan of groups with a connection word as prefix and suffix, but enjoyable nonetheless (3 years, 3 months ago)

Ant @ #52361: Very nice, thank you (3 years, 3 months ago)

bigz @ #52039: works in Chicago, too Very nice. Makes you dust of decades between classroms and dotage. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Ant @ #52383: Very entertaining grid, 5*. Thank you :) (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #42820: Very hard to interpret with just one picture. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Theo @ #24111: Excellent grid (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #52354: Was just about to say the same for Age group. Way too loose a connection to stand a chance of getting that. Rest of grid was good though. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #52371: Catsup. That was new to me. Nip line would have been hard enough even without anagrams and the Lisa line was just too much of a leap. All in all too hard for me. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #52356: Very good even though I scored zero 😄 (3 years, 3 months ago)

Aetees @ #52383: Excellent. I didn't make much headway with the grid but it fits together beautifully once you know what to look for. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #52383: Sitting there thinking "3 cheers doesn't go on that group "... (3 years, 3 months ago)

Trillium @ #52383: Amazing. :-) (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #52379: 👍 (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #52383: Quite fun. I like these kind of grids. Thank you. (3 years, 3 months ago)

dagoba @ #52382: Good wall, but frustrating and impossible for me. Great idea having ten or eleven things that looked like whodunnit or horror titles, and five that might be from Greek myths, but it totally confused me. The solutions were fun, even though I only got one group. (3 years, 3 months ago)

dagoba @ #52382: It all makes sense, now I see it and it works properly as a grid, but two groups needed very specific knowledge, and some word puzzle clues were very long, so it was really hard to read them through and spot what was there within the time. Good work though. I liked the faked book titles. It just needs a quicker reader with sharper eyes than mine to solve it. (3 years, 3 months ago)

haywood @ #52369: Nice grid. Sent me down the wrong path before I twigged and corrected. (3 years, 3 months ago)

haywood @ #52377: nice diverse gris, worked it out in the end (3 years, 3 months ago)

James @ #52376: Very nice grid (3 years, 3 months ago)

ROBBIE @ #52286: Great imaginative word play! (3 years, 3 months ago)

bloss @ #52322: Answers to one group are often clues - there's not problem with that. (3 years, 3 months ago)

D @ #52223: The tact group could be affixes in general (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #52322: Just depends whether you want to make it easier or not Tommy. For me personally I’d prefer without. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Anastase @ #52346: Nice grid. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #49131: This is an old one but I loved this. Enough to make you think but not give you a headache. Thank you. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Tommy @ #52322: Thanks for your comments everyone. I was trying something out with including the answers as clues. I actually did it twice with both 'salad' and 'cocktail'. Let me know what you think of this particular device. (3 years, 3 months ago)

nobby stylish @ #52322: I enjoyed very much. thanks! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #37632: Brilliant the amount of work you’ve put into these music ones. Strange to be taken back to your youth. Something for everyone though I’d say 70s kids best placed. Thank you. (3 years, 3 months ago)

d @ #52350: This one was really satisfying, I was hopeless and pressing randomly for two and a half minutes and then I managed to finish with two groups and 3 connections. Bravo! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Est289 @ #52350: Tricky! Very good. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #52342: Seven thirty/thirty seven What?? (3 years, 3 months ago)

inoks @ #52326: not sure about that category with Iron in it. Otherwise a good grid I think! (3 years, 3 months ago)

RSUD @ #52342: One is not a prime number (3 years, 3 months ago)

LGG @ #52342: Doesn't work because there's more than one possible solution. FIVE and SEVEN can be swapped and still be correct. Also, the Roman numeral link is really tenuous. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #52338: Cool. And there’s even one of the groups that I only know from playing puzzgrid! Lecter line was good. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Batigol @ #52338: Nice grid. Would have struggled to spot the cockney rhyming slang clue without getting the other groups first. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Jishun @ #52321: Fun (3 years, 3 months ago)

Est289 @ #52322: Nice grid (3 years, 3 months ago)

Simon @ #52282: @Dagoba thanks for the feedback (3 years, 3 months ago)

Paul @ #52297: The USA clue is a bit misleading, as the whole of America is named after Vespucci. As much as people from the US like to think they are America, the people of South America would have something to say about it. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Ro @ #52270: Nicely balanced grid (3 years, 3 months ago)

Dogma @ #52270: Lovely ideas, fun and fairly straightforward to do, but the Gloucester group are all cathedral cities too, and Derby biscuits exist, so there is a possible swap with Lincoln between those two groups, which had me wasting thirty seconds or so trying out different valid solutions. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Dagoba @ #52282: Ok grid, but I didn't like the transport group. Car and bus are types of vehicle, air and rail are are modes of transport - unseal/decanal and broad would have been more logical to complete a set with Hairs and Trails. Strain and Interplanetary would have worked better as a group with scary and abuse. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #52311: Liked it when this grid fell into place but the fur group fell in place by default and I don’t think it’s a very strong group. I still kind of like it though 😄 (3 years, 3 months ago)

Ant @ #52286: I liked it a lot, although you should have held off publishing for a couple more months. Christmas should be ignored until after bonfire night in my book. Not that the supermarkets care. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #52301: Nice one (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #52287: Only got one but it was good 👍 (3 years, 3 months ago)

Odo @ #52264: I was informed that chook is the correct spelling for an Australian chuck/chicken in an earlier grid I did. Thought if I just put "S" some might say "Ah! but I put "C"" - just covering myself :-) (3 years, 3 months ago)

Tom @ #52240: Fun grid, good job! (3 years, 3 months ago)

SeedyEm @ #52240: Good grid and enjoyable, but I don't think it's a unique solution since Lincoln and Jackson could have been switched... I think? Maybe switching Lincoln for Cleveland (which is both a US and English place-name, but neither a US capital nor an English cathedral city?) (3 years, 3 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #52259: Nice, thanks! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Aleksi @ #52223: Awesome. I love trigonometry so you got me on board. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #52177: Propper gridding. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #51877: Sheesh and i thoufg i had a tough crowd on 51879... It's very clever but very niche- for most people it's going to be a guessing game which removes a lot of the fun. (Presumably if you know the game it's fairly straightforward). (3 years, 3 months ago)

bigz @ #51957: Hey Jude was written by Paul McCartney for Julian Lennon, John's older son, at the time of John and Cynthia's breakup. Jude was what Paul nicknamed Julian. Jude is not a woman's name in this case. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Dagoba @ #52168: Great. I'm ashamed I couldn't sort the Tick Tock group from the 7 group. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Dagoba @ #52181: Really good ideas, but I'm just not the right mind set for this one - I sort of saw what all the groups were, and sorted one group, but was totally lost with some of the cryptic clues, as I was thinking more of quiz/skill shows rather than game shows in general and th shows like Deal or No Deal didn't enter my head. (3 years, 3 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #52155: A nice trip down memory lane, TY! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Ant @ #52181: Interesting idea, but the groups were too similar, meaning that even if you're able to decipher all the show names (which is challenging enough for 3 minutes), trying to find the four groupings is arguably next to impossible. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Gridlington @ #52134: Very good! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Gridlington @ #52164: Very good! At first I was thinking "oh no, not more anagrams" but with 6 to choose from it became trickier! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Gridlington @ #52169: Nice grid. Liked the numbers being in different groups (3 years, 3 months ago)

bigz @ #51879: Good overall. Would also like to see the solved anagrams. Can only get the 2 easy ones. (3 years, 3 months ago)

bigz @ #51877: Leave your apartment sometime. Leave your Iphone there. Take a walk. Sit at a bar, on a bench, in a cafe. Talk to humans. Your grids are getting more absurd as time goes on. And you had the balls to call someone else out about their lack of a life????? Mirror. Look at yourself in it and be afraid - very afraid. (3 years, 3 months ago)

bigz @ #51876: Aside from debating whether there were 12 or 13 Apostles, and being unaware of the pony reference, it was clever but needs pen and paper and about 15 minutes. You made a great puzzle but it doesn't work within the time frame. (3 years, 3 months ago)

bigz @ #51875: Before or after. Combo never good. Looks like a reach to fill in a last group every time. (3 years, 3 months ago)

bigz @ #51866: So stretched in places that it is warped (3 years, 3 months ago)

bigz @ #51859: Very good, Macaroons. I am unfamiliar with most of these groups but appreciate a Wodehouse reference anytime. (3 years, 3 months ago)

A Large Owl @ #52169: Tough but doable! I liked the dropped N group the best. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Paul @ #52144: Need to add whiskey as a spelling (3 years, 3 months ago)

bigz @ #51856: just way out there (3 years, 3 months ago)

Paul @ #52145: I also said collective noun. Otherwise good fun (3 years, 3 months ago)

bigz @ #51847: Got the wall but had no clue on Superheroes. It was a pretty good effort overall. Nearly forgot Sid played bass and Johnny is a great option within two groups. Froze me for a bit. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Paul @ #52171: Agreed on the plastics group, I never would have got that as film quotes in a million years. Enjoyed the Addams Family group though, was satisfying when I saw it (3 years, 3 months ago)

Dances with Ferrets @ #52145: Nice grid, thanks! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Dances with Ferrets @ #52171: The Plastics group is a bit too vague, I think. And the spelling for the potato snack is Hula Hoops (3 years, 3 months ago)

Anastase @ #52170: Tough at first, but once I got one group, I just about managed to get the rest in time. Enjoyable grid. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Manolis @ #28660: The whole thing with -son and season, reminds me of the bit with "what does y-e-s spell" and "what does e-y-e-s spell" (google it for a funny video) (3 years, 3 months ago)

Anastase @ #52168: Good grid (3 years, 3 months ago)

Mrsbusman @ #52145: Collective nouns needed for ‘groups’ . (3 years, 3 months ago)

Manolis @ #98: Two of the connections are wrong. La is a note, but Me and Ray are homophones for notes (Mi, Re). It should be either all notes, or all homophones. And night before nurse is not a prefix, just a word that goes together with nurse. But night before mare creates indeed a new word. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Odo @ #52164: 5* (3 years, 3 months ago)

Sak @ #49081: "Take a Bow" isn't so much an audience reaction, as something you do thanks TO an audience reaction. "Networks" wasn't accepted as answer (no big deal, but worth learning from. Networks being TV channels.) Otherwise, as others have said; excellent puzzle. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Dagoba @ #52132: Good apart from the Newton group. The telescope was patented about thirty years before Newton was born, calculus was used in ancient Greece, and was refined by Newton (and independently by Liebnitz) in the 17th century, and while he formulated the laws of motion, he didn't 'discover motion'.

The ladder one I just didn’t see and I didn’t think of the bee with hayfever as simply being literal. Thanks for putting me on to Lorna’s grids. She’s amazing and must have put so much time into constructing grids. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Dagoba @ #52124: Lovely. Very funny and fun. I was going to give up, because it looked as if it was all about sport, but then the Liverpool group caught my eye, and I realised that none of it was about sport, which was brilliant, and I solve it in under two minutes. Thank you! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Aetees @ #52050: I was sure there was a Pokémon connection, spent far too long trying remember if there had ever been a Pokémon wrath or something. Nice red herring and a good grid. (3 years, 3 months ago)

St John @ #52074: very good ty (3 years, 3 months ago)

St John @ #52087: Daogba thanks, the reference I used must have "translated it". I copied it out as first seen. amended, I am out of my comfort zone. thanks J knew it would be too easy for you. Back to my scattergun techniques for now. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Dagoba @ #52051: Good, but Kelly and Bryan can be swapped between groups. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Jmelb @ #52087: Done in 30, enjoyed that TY! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Dagoba @ #52087: Excellent. I only sorted one group (Verona), and identified one other link after the time had run out (Iago). I ought to have recognised the Solinus quote, as I read that play at school, but had no idea. You do need to correct ,'houses' to 'households' and 'born' to 'both', though. I nearly didn't get that group because of the misquote. (3 years, 3 months ago)

St John @ #52084: very good indeed (3 years, 3 months ago)

St John @ #52075: not difficult but I walked into your herring. enjoyed ty (3 years, 3 months ago)

Dagoba @ #52083: V. Good. I only managed to sort out and identify two groups. I only knew Milton from that group, so had no hope of putting the connection together, and again, Hannibal in it's group should have been a giveaway (and from the only film in that group which seen), but I was stuck on much older films.

Dagoba @ #52066: Good ideas, and challenging, but it's a shame that at least four red herrings create pairs that can be swapped between groups.Nugget can be swapped with Tooth, Barrel with Letter. There's only supposed to be one workable solution to the grid, otherwise we have to be mind-readers to solve it, and rather than 'fiendish' the wall becomes 'insoluble'. I'd suggest editing this one. Put Letter in Barrel's place and Nugget in Tooth's place, then replace them in the 'double letter' group, with Utter and something that doesn't fit into the other groups. (3 years, 3 months ago)

bigz @ #51733: Considering Israel has put up a few stinkers, his or her words are being a bit harsh.

Fam @ #32899: Nice to try all these different formats. I find it interesting that your mind can ‘see’ that there is something going on but takes a while to figure it out. I had to refresh once as the clock always run down by the time I figure it :) (3 years, 3 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #52016: Niche. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #52056: Groups were easy to separate but the connections for two of them seem far from likely common knowledge. The Close group especially. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #27995: A bit tricky but very satisfying. So annoying when you miss the connection then it stares you in the eye. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #24484: 👍 ok, just a couple more ( I often do the grids that have been praised in the comments so I hope that highlighting these might let a new audience enjoy them ) (3 years, 3 months ago)

eBarnz @ #51978: Austen and Rousseau (in the Lost group) are philosophers and Hume and Locke (in the philosopher group) are characters from Lost, so there is not a unique correct solution to this grid. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #24486: 👍👍 Are you still on here Lorna? Or does anyone know? Great variety of grids and pitched perfectly. I often see the link but it’s a race against the clock. Thanks for posting so many. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Dagoba @ #51975: Not a grid for me really. I don't watch 'reality' shows. I sorted two groups , one of those was accidental. Never heard of anyone from the Julian Smith group, and only heard of Tom Arnold from the group he's in. (3 years, 3 months ago)

I have crabs @ #52042: I saw Surskitbrah at a grocery store in Wentworth Point yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for TFT advice or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and pivoting into the comp I was already going for. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Nunus in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the Nunus and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any RNG infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each Nunu and put them into his lineup and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by whining about how bad his team comp was really loudly. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Squid Lover @ #52042: Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Squid Hater @ #52042: Very good, 10/10, my wife left me (3 years, 3 months ago)

Dagoba @ #52024: Enjoyable, but frustrating. I couldn't sort out my final two groups - the 'meringue' and man groups. They could have been sorted as a nationality group and a man group, by swapping Pavlova with German. I'd thought of meringue as a group, when I saw Swiss, French and Italian, but knew there are only three types of meringue, so tried to make a 'desserts' group with Pavlova, Swiss (roll) and got stuck again. (3 years, 3 months ago)

dgms @ #52024: Good ideas, fun and fairly challenging to sort the groups. A pavlova is a dessert made using meringue, not a type of meringue. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Jmelb @ #52039: I was thinking of you and Ducky, Bloss! (3 years, 3 months ago)

dgms @ #52038: Nice. Great fun. I spotted three of the groups and solved the grid fairly quickly, but had no idea about the Reason group. I thought it might be dating apps. (3 years, 3 months ago)

dgms @ #52040: Horrible grid. Very obscure/tricksy, but it did all make sense when the groups were revealed, and it worked with no possible swaps between groups. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Tilly @ #51995: 7/10 for me, thought it was reference to Raintree County, plus I always associated Marina with Morris but they became the same I guess later. we were Oxford not Cambridge people. ps age is just being number :-) (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51996: Beginning to see a bit of an overlap in the interests of quizzers :) One line for me. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51992: I think ‘house’ works for one of these groups too. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51989: Jesus, *their strengths. Couldn’t leave that howler lying there! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51995: Yes! Satisfyingly happy with that 😀 Got two groups on merit, then the Clift one from just one clue from watching old films with my mum, and the last one from some inspired guesswork from childhood memories. Nice grid. Thank you. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Jmelb @ #51995: ... and mine! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51913: Still works for me. It’s just harder to see initially. The connection is ‘words associated with’ or ‘words that come before or after’ and it helps as it allows more flexibility on the simpler word association grids 🙂 (3 years, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #51995: Very good grid, a nice mix of subjects, a red herring or two Got it fairly quickly, shows my age 😊 10s all round Thanks for posting (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51989: Everyone has there strengths and this wasn’t mine. One line then lost. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Daniel @ #51913: These words don't follow the correct form of this game. If you are adding a word to all of them, they need to all precede or all follow the word, not be a mix. So Class Act, Class Struggle, Class Clown, Class First (but of course this is wrong) Night Club, Golf Club, School Club, Sandwich Club (again, this last is backwards) and so on.

Bianca @ #32739: this was type hard bruh (3 years, 3 months ago)

adb @ #51960: Still not sure why the solution to the cherry group is 2000? (Wasn't it 10,000 maniacs?) (3 years, 3 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #51969: Enjoyed it, nice mix. 5* P.s. What about O'Neill, the Ninja Turtle's reporter? But Almost singer is a nice clue anyhow. Good grid (3 years, 3 months ago)

barry womble @ #51969: great. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #51969: Nice and easy, pretty well thought out 10s all round Thanks for posting (3 years, 3 months ago)

Devlyn @ #51982: This was my first go at making one of these, I think I went overboard on the specificity of the words (3 years, 3 months ago)

Joshua @ #15868: Easiest yet (3 years, 3 months ago)

Ant @ #51969: I solved it. :) (3 years, 3 months ago)

Ant @ #51976: For the multiple heads group it would be nice to have explanation as to who these characters are, and where they are from. Fluffy who instance is quite a common but I don't know any with more than one noggin (3 years, 3 months ago)

d0gJaW @ #51932: Didn't take "teeth", didn't take "abbott & costello", didn't take "homophones of letters" - could definitely work on the link keywords on this one. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Christo @ #51969: Clever (3 years, 3 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #51833: Good, I wouldn't call the violence group just murders.. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #51828: tricky but good (3 years, 3 months ago)

CatieS @ #51755: Very funny haha! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51969: Thanks Ant. Very generous of you :) Did you get the grid? (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #50693: Great grid. Could do with these kind of ones having the boxes you can write in like in the sound/image grids. Got loads of the clues but couldn’t hold them in my little head to draw the connections. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Ant @ #51969: Avril is actually French for April, so the link isn't quite as tenuous as you think (3 years, 3 months ago)

HD @ #51755: I lol'd! (3 years, 3 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #51942: Great grid 5* (3 years, 3 months ago)

Gorgon @ #50900: You know it's good when you run out of time and then can name all the groups after they've been sorted for you. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Gorgon @ #34751: @Bob - what TV show? Those are from an excellent book series 'A Song of Ice and Fire" (3 years, 3 months ago)

Est289 @ #32739: Great grid! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Est289 @ #35122: Nice grid! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51969: Just meant as a fairly easy one. Let me know (3 years, 3 months ago)

147 @ #51957: I would suggest replacing Jane with Lydia (sisters) as there is no way of differentiating the two Janes, which is a flaw (3 years, 3 months ago)

Ben @ #51965: good connections but the I think the connecting words need to be a little broader - I wrote 'Game Show' and didn't get it, and I wrote 'Slang' but didn't get it. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Neonage @ #51901: No but 1984 by Bowie was (3 years, 3 months ago)

Rebecca @ #51933: Truly difficult in the best way. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Ella @ #51935: Nice, well balanced-grid (3 years, 3 months ago)

AndyP @ #51965: Fun, got given 7/10 because I stupidly didn't match the terms on the Impossible line but nice and straightforward apart from that. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51957: This seems like it would be achievable once you’re shown the answers but a grid based on first names is just fiendish. Did anyone get this? (3 years, 3 months ago)

AndyP @ #51942: Very clever, but quite easy once it was noticed. Thanks (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51966: Neat little grid. I would just say that if you replaced Final and Grand with other clues it would be more challenging ( I can think of at least two for each ). (3 years, 3 months ago)

David @ #51755: Fun grid, thanks. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Ersatz @ #51958: Great puzzle! Loved the red herrings. I would suggest allowing “food” for the chicken category since I feel like 3 of them are broad enough that chicken isn’t really associated with them (3 years, 3 months ago)

haywood @ #51966: P.S. qu** s*** was also not accepted (3 years, 3 months ago)

haywood @ #51966: Excellent grid, with brilliant crossovers and red herrings, but slightly ruined by your making g*** s*** one word in your list of acceptable answers. No need to repeat g******* three times, or to pluralise it - just enter the acceptable answer in the simplest terms, i.e. g*** s*** (3 years, 3 months ago)

Tilly @ #51950: 5* for the humour alone. well beaten but had fun (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #40019: Love your music ones SmileyMiley. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Feza @ #50868: 'Arrow' was a sneaky clue :) (3 years, 3 months ago)

Feza @ #50868: Tough for an Australian who hasn't heard of some of these terms. Otherwise, quite good, thanks. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51960: 👍 nice to have a different grid. Some known and some educated guessing. Cherry group stumped me though. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51941: Disagree with the mind reading comment and thumbs down. Two groups were easy, a third possible and the fourth by process of elimination ( Navy group would have been easier for me with say neon or khaki in it but maybe you didn’t want it to be that obvious ). Not a bad grid and nice to move away from clues where they are all preceded or followed by the same word. I’ve tried constructing a couple of grids and it’s not easy. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51939: Tend to agree. Even when the groups are separated out the connections are hard to see as some of the examples are too obscure ( for me anyway ). For the Coraline group you’d need to be a superfan. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Jmelb @ #51932: Nice, could accept teeth? (3 years, 3 months ago)

Risk @ #51780: Very fun grid (3 years, 3 months ago)

Tilly @ #51882: very nicely done (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51876: @Tilly I think you could swap the 2 and 7 of one group with the 5 and 4 of another (3 years, 3 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #2622: having synonyms as the answer is too vague, it should be a word relating to the group (3 years, 3 months ago)

Tilly @ #51876: had another look and where the math functions are, there is only one viable solution (3 years, 3 months ago)

Tilly @ #51884: OMG - I thought I could strangle a homowotsit, but.....you🏆 (3 years, 3 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #29229: great (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51916: Nice ty (3 years, 3 months ago)

Tilly @ #51876: @John - are there? Must confess I did not think so given that four had = signs and all the others + signs. I shall take another look. Thank you for your feed back (3 years, 3 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #51885: I kept trying to put Fielding in the same group as Tate etc. although with your username I assume you'd predicted that. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Tom @ #51657: Moves cleverly from the seemingly easy to the genuinely fiendish (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51911: Haha, very clever, and Ridley Scott still gets a mention :) I could see some of the connections but not enough to make the groups. I need to be on a team! (3 years, 3 months ago)

St John @ #51879: Te Moo! but good (3 years, 3 months ago)

Feza @ #51078: White pizza? Never heard of it in Australia. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51876: I think it’s a great and challenging idea Tilly. The fiendishness of it is that you pretty much need to know the answer to every single clue before you can tackle the maths part. Most grids allow for some minor gaps in knowledge. I wonder if there’s a way of tweaking it. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #74: Fun easy one from the early years. I wonder how many of the original posters and players are still on here. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Tilly @ #51876: @barry - to be honest, although I enjoyed constructing this, I do not believe that extending the time allocated to 5 or even 10 minutes would help [even if I knew how or was able to]. So although it fits the criteria it is not a feasible wall for this site. (3 years, 3 months ago)

barry womble @ #51876: more time? (3 years, 3 months ago)

Neonage @ #51909: I love it:) (3 years, 3 months ago)

St John @ #51887: P.S @ Fam - I love to befuddle, lol (3 years, 3 months ago)

St John @ #51887: thanks @Fam,@ Jmelb and @barry, I put in Blade as the obvious, [@Nighteyes, I do not think one can claim Ridley Scott to be "hopelessly obscure" in himself] however when I was researching him I found those little nuggets [each in their own way reasonably well known] and thought it would be fun to share. It is a beautiful morning here and I am happy... :-) (3 years, 3 months ago)

Jmelb @ #51871: Nice ty (3 years, 3 months ago)

St John @ #51908: I liked that very much (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51908: Wow, I didn’t get anywhere with this. Learnt something new though. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51859: Another clever idea for a grid! I guessed what the connection would be straight away but my knowledge was not extensive enough. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Tbone @ #51879: Where there are anagrams it would be cool to see what they are unscrambled (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51884: Interesting one. Thank you. (3 years, 3 months ago)

St John @ #51577: always trying :-) (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51877: Gah, can’t you flag these up in the comments as special interest only or something ( like the film buff people do ). But maybe that ruins it for people who might not see it straight away but guess it with that specific interest. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Aaww @ #51884: Good one (3 years, 3 months ago)

Israel @ #51733: You are Satan embodied on a woe man. The hypocrisy between your life and solitude is a sad tale. If there is ever a time in which i meet such a sad and apathetic man, i will promptly grab a gun and aim it at my cranium. You deserve the death sentence. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51577: I see you must have modified this St John. I understand your reluctance because of the removal of the red herrings but it’s still a good grid with the surnames there. I didn’t know the connection even with them. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Malcolm @ #51815: My lack of Steakhouse and Eastenders knowledge hampered me wit this one (3 years, 3 months ago)

Purple Aki @ #51869: Fun wall! Caught out by the ____kick category (3 years, 3 months ago)

bigz @ #51577: Donnybrook is Irish.I believe it is an area of Greater Dublin known in the past for moblike fights. Fairly common but old fashioned expression. The explanations or reasons were very restricted on 3 of the groups. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Bob @ #12167: So A Mexican hat dance is a Mexican hat dance. Thanks for clearing that up!! Crap!! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Neonage @ #51840: Great except I have no clue of the Taskmaster winners being out of the UK (3 years, 3 months ago)

bigz @ #51567: Devilishly tough. You went very niche for the Musketeers, but I admire indulging yourself for those characters. Marco Polo derailed me on the candy group. Possibly your toughtest one yet. (3 years, 3 months ago)

bigz @ #51566: spun me in circles for 3 minutes really well constructed (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #35398: Nice, without needing too much specialist knowledge. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #44363: Good little grid. Couldn’t see all the hidden words even though I was looking for them. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Helen Bach @ #51822: Though you can be "anti" just about anything, really. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51812: Love it when I ‘see’ the groups within a minute but can only give the connection for one. Thanks for the explanations. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51847: Can someone, anyone, try this and post whether you solve it. I’m just intrigued as to whether anyone gets these ones I see as ‘impossible’. (3 years, 3 months ago)

jude @ #38444: second row should be precipitation not weather but good puzzle (3 years, 3 months ago)

Jmelb @ #51804: Nice and easy. Like most grids, has been done. That is to be expected, the trick is to true to keep thinking of less used examples. As St John says, you will never please everyone, so don't get discouraged. TY (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51775: Thanks Jmelb. Appreciated from such a seasoned poster as yourself. Nice to get feedback. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Helen Bach @ #51838: Yes, the place names was... well, it's just insignificant places that you found on a list somewhere. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Tom @ #33679: Good but very mixed, thanks (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #50166: Not a fan of ‘starts with’ type connections when looking for something more involved like where band is from etc. Got me thinking though and some great bands. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Ade @ #51804: Fun grid for a Saturday morning. Thank you Fam. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51838: Didn’t stand a chance with the Hell group. Enjoyed the rest though. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Ade @ #51815: Excellent. Thank you (3 years, 3 months ago)

Wolfy @ #51732: You should try my 90s bands one then 😆 (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51828: Clever. Got one but yeah, maybe if more time ( and knowledge ). Hard to pitch as some people prefer more of a challenge. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51844: Names were good to work out. Of your two other groups though, one was a little obscure and the other so much so I wonder if anyone would know it. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Ncfn @ #51828: Excellent! (3 years, 3 months ago)

David @ #51815: Really fun grid, thanks. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #51671: The worst grid I've done today. at least give us proper answers. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #42759: Mrs Miller, please, there is nothing in this grid that overlaps in relation and makes it a very easy puzzle as long as you can read. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #42761: the only thing challenging about this is clicking correctly as fast as you can. Nothing remotely difficult (3 years, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #43898: Don't submit a puzzle with typos, it's that simple Sarah (3 years, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #48309: Synonyms alone i guess is not good enough for "synonyms for easy" (3 years, 3 months ago)

Balex @ #51781: A shame that Out and Tie could fit in the other’s category, because the rest of the grid is nice and intricate (3 years, 3 months ago)

Balex @ #51780: Didn’t get the 60s thing because I thought it was “Time Bandits”. Kinda works! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #50929: 5* (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51766: I’ve come to hate the minecraft entries in the grids as if you don’t know them there’s nothing to make them stand out so they end up interfering with the rest of your workings. I guess that’s the game though. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51787: Easy but very good. (3 years, 3 months ago)

St John @ #51804: Nice grid as it stands and you can tinker with it with different examples, how it is presented etc to have variety, Keep this grid and use it as a template for others, There are many types of grid, some closer to the Only Connect format others completely different, I think the only rules are, nothing abusive etc, the players will let you know via stars awarded or comments, you will never please everyone, You may have seen I experiment [not always successfully] (3 years, 3 months ago)

David @ #51783: Unusual to find such a difficult grid the most popular of the day. Thanks. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51814: Only one group managed. Fits in the hard category in my eyes though it works perfectly well. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51804: If you happen to do this one can you tell me if you thought it worked. Is it still worth doing ones with no red herrings or is it too obvious? Thanks. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51813: Didn’t know if the different spellings were for a reason, but it’s wotsit and hula hoop. Good grid. Would never have got the Bashir one personally. I was thinking of Martin Bashir. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Cenedd Taylor @ #51813: Slightly kinder feedback... Wotsit & Hula Hoop is what you're after. Pretty good grid otherwise. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Risk @ #51804: Nice one! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Brandon M @ #51755: Love the innuendo, at the start I thought "if that's the connection, what words will it accept in the box?" (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51810: I think it should be in the hard category (3 years, 3 months ago)

Helen Bach @ #51805: While I was able to do it without actually knowing any German, now that I have seen the categories, the same applies as if it were in English: you can't use "numbers" AND "odd numbers" as categories. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51808: Interesting grid. I also find it interesting that sometimes your mind can ‘see’ what goes together even if you don’t know why. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #46080: Very good. I got all the groups bar Flu.rant. Just as Dogms commented, for some reason it was harder to figure. Maybe because there wasn’t an obvious ‘in’ word. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Tom @ #46080: Very clever but JMT right (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51804: Just an easy one for the weekend. Surely done many times before but I’m just experimenting for now. (3 years, 3 months ago)

AB @ #51785: 👍🏻 (3 years, 3 months ago)

Joanne @ #51755: I vote this the most entertaining grid so far. Good work! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51781: 👍 (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51780: Fun. I got a couple of groups and some of the remainder. Surprisingly can-yay-west I didn’t see. Good idea 🙂 (3 years, 3 months ago)

quodlibet @ #51755: I guess I've got a dirty mind... (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51775: Thanks for the advice and encouragement everyone. I’ve amended the permitted answers James ( I tried to think of all possibilities but didn’t think of this obvious one ). I take your point about grids being harder than you think they’ll be Mister Tom. When I looked at the finished submitted grid I couldn’t even see the connections myself! I’d deliberately included the card connection James, even though in a different format to the others, so as to be less obvious but now realise I don’t need to be that devious. You were thinking Al Jolson St John, I was thinking Neil Diamond. Probably many on here too young for either 🙂 (3 years, 3 months ago)

Chloe @ #51775: Answers as they are at the moment don't include sewing machine in the "singers" quad - it duplicates Jazz. Fun nonetheless! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Will @ #51755: Well played. (3 years, 3 months ago)

bigz @ #51469: ............................................ (3 years, 3 months ago)

James @ #51775: Good first attempt. Just a couple of comments / suggestions: You might want to widen the permitted answers (I used the term "double acts", which wasn't accepted) The card connection was a little misleading as, if I undertand it correctly, it comes before whereas the others all come after. Keep up the good work! (3 years, 3 months ago)

St John @ #51775: Age thing but I was thinking Al Jolson- I hope you enjoyed setting, keep going and you'll be hooked. The hardest thig is innovation, you are bound to take ideas from other grids, no worries. Mister Tom speaks true. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #51775: Good start ( i think- some of thebconnectionsni hadn't heard of). As for hard/ easy- this is fine and they dont all have to be the same anyway. It is rare that a grid gets better by adding obscurity, except as a " if you know this 1 clue you know the group" giveaway. Difficulty is a bit lile hofstadter's law: grids are usually harder than you think they will be as the setter, even if you know that this is the case. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51775: Same as 51774 ( entered twice by mistake ). More annotations in 51774 (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51775: This is my first attempt so apologies if I’ve subconsciously drawn from other grids. Also don’t know if I’ve made it too awkward or difficult by trying to make it less obvious. Don’t annihilate me but advice welcome. (3 years, 3 months ago)

St John @ #51729: Thanks for your feedback everyone, I enjoyed the idea when it came to me and apart from a mis-spell it had possibilities. It wasn't until I submitted and tried it out I saw the obvious problems you have pointed out, So all in all it's thanks and back to the drawing board :-) (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #46183: Amelia Earhart was also an aviation pioneer ( since you mentioned Whitehead and Phillips in your answers ). And since Armstrong could also be considered a transportation pioneer that could be the link for that group. I love the variety in your grids. Thank you (3 years, 3 months ago)

Helen Bach @ #51742: Nineteen seconds... (3 years, 3 months ago)

Helen Bach @ #51736: Agree with Jarah. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #50457: Though absolutely valid, I find the ‘changing letters to find a link’ connections infuriating. I also think this puzzle could edge into fiendish in that you’re also finding words of different languages within words. All in all good but quite tricky. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51751: Nice (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51750: I agree with Noah. You’d have to have some damn comprehensive movie knowledge to even stand a chance of solving this. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51748: I should learn not to give up on these so easily as once they’re in groups the answers are sometimes quite straightforward. This was very good. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51741: Good medium grid. Be good if it accepted a simple 1d as an answer but I don’t know what goes into submitting a grid and allowing variations on answers. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Omegaman @ #51400: Synonyms alone should be ok. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51729: I should add that I got all the groups ultimately but it was a bit of trial and error. The concept worked ok for me, for example putting Bhuzania and Tan together, but then there seemed to be three other possible pairings to go with that with only one accepted. (3 years, 3 months ago)

dgms @ #51729: Good ideas, but impossible to solve without being a mind-reader, as the pairings were arbitrary, and members of groups interchangeable. Also it should be Neau, for Nepal-Palau. I failed to get any group despite seeing the connections within seconds. The only logical solution I saw was to group Naau Vietibia Bhuzania United Kingindica together- as groups of smashed country pairings, Harroshead, Loncaster, Blackley Reddiff - as a group of smashed town/city pairs, Pal, Tan, Dom, Nam as the links between the countries, Car, Don, Gate, Burn, as the town links, as there was no reason to put Vietibia with United Kingindica, than Bhuzania or Naau, or any reason for Loncaster not to be paired with Blackley or Reddiff instead of Harroshead.

Fam @ #51728: Seemed like more of a medium to me, but then some mediums I find hard. All depends on your knowledge base I suppose. Sweets I’m good at. Thanks (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51729: For example why couldn’t Bhuzania Tan Vietibia and Nam form a group? (3 years, 3 months ago)

bigz @ #51434: somewhere between eccentric and ridiculous. one group makes sense without question. the other 3 are borderine insane. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51729: Good idea St John. Couple of small typos with the spelling I think Naau - Neau Vietabia - Vietibia And it seems like you would have to have specific pairings for each group of four countries or cities to be accepted but no logical reason why a different group of four couldn’t be put together. Still fun trying to work it out though. (3 years, 3 months ago)

dgms @ #51644: Please correct 'Abanddon' to 'Abaddon'. I thoughts the misspelling was deliberate, to hide a word in there, or so it could be an anagram, and I lost time trying to work it out, and wasted more time trying to sort out the devil group while excluding it because 'Abanddon' isn't a name for the devil.

Helen Bach @ #51667: You could swap Berry and/or Bird with Flag and/or Magic, likewise Hot and/or Eye with Dwarf and/or Wine. So not a valid grid. (3 years, 3 months ago)

dgms @ #51663: Nice and straightforward. Thanks. (3 years, 3 months ago)

dgms @ #51667: Nice ideas, but you need to change most of the items in the groups for it to work. There are too many to mention that can be swapped between groups, and there's only meant to be one valid solution, otherwise to sort any of the groups, we're relying on pure luck or clairvoyance, rather than knowledge and logic.

I ran out of time twice so started again, and nearly didn't manage it the third time Mrs McGinty seemed like the big clue for the first group I solved. For the final (for me) group, which I didn't solve, I spotted the link because of Edwin Drood, and that jogged my memory about another item in that group, so I had a guess. (3 years, 3 months ago)

St John @ #51576: @Jmelb,and vice versa. Tried other names but seems to be the same.

dgms @ #51600: Really good, but please correct 'escelator' to escalator. I thought it was deliberate, and wasted about a minute searching for a hidden word in there that was created by the misspelling, and looking for other misspelled words to go with it. In the end, the 'Escelator' group was the one I didn't sort out, but once it was collated, the link was obvious. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Jarah @ #51600: Good grid. Some problems are: 1. Escalator is spelt with an "a". 2. All the insects are in the singular : "fly", "bee", moth". But "lice" is the plural. It should be "louse". (3 years, 3 months ago)

Comment @ #51584: Whoops. All corrected. Ten thousand thanks. Must have been annoying, that one. Sorry all (3 years, 3 months ago)

dgms @ #51584: One thousand isn't the square of one hundred, that's ten thousand (the square root of a thousand is 31.6227766017) as I only knew three of the four, and no way to know that one of those was wrongly calculated in the grid, there was no way to get the connection in the final group (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51584: In fact I think you can answer it either way. Maybe you just need to be consistent. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51584: Steve, I think the answers are given in the format of what has been done to the original to get to the new grid entry, hence multiply by 3 is correct. (3 years, 3 months ago)

dogma @ #51546: Nice ideas, and very challenging, but it falls down because there's at least one direct swap that can made between groups. Scanty and Short can both be synonyms for brief, or half an item/pair of clothing (scanties is slang for knickers), so there's more than one possible valid solution to the grid.

bigz @ #51222: Crazygang not an English word. Gingang, God knows. Kipper tie and cuptie ???????????????????????????????????????????????????? (3 years, 3 months ago)

Odo @ #51528: mewl (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51528: Mule?? (3 years, 3 months ago)

bigz @ #51246: agree with TMW. Such an archaeic term. The middle letter extraction is unique. I didn't like it, but you were thinking very fiendishly. (3 years, 3 months ago)

bigz @ #51244: the stones group is easy to put together but is out of sync with the reason behind it. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Odo @ #51528: sorted (3 years, 3 months ago)

informantxgirl @ #51528: Having "Santa" in the secret group makes no sense, since the others are all book titles. That doesn't make a group. It would've made more sense to have something like "of Nimh". Also, "etc." has a period. (3 years, 3 months ago)

FraserMc @ #51526: pls correct snog for song in answers (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51481: Thanks Quizaster. I stand corrected. What else have I been wrong about all my life?! Thanks. Good grid. (3 years, 3 months ago)

David @ #51467: It was fun trying, but the Atlantic culture gap did for me on this (different spelling of a metal, and a show I hadn't heard of which isn't broadcast in the UK). Fun trying to unpick it, though: thanks. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Helen Bach @ #51513: I actually don't mind the Charles Laughton connection. But Piquet and Picket (or Pickett) are not homophones, and that group is a right old hotch-potch, as is the "pique" group. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Odo @ #51522: *for film buffs* (3 years, 3 months ago)

Skeats @ #51130: Great grid! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Quizaster @ #51481: Fruit & Nut is 100% definitely almond. It's Whole Nut that contains hazelnut. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Easypeasy @ #30437: 10/10 the tennis explanation took me a while. Lots of misdirection this one is good! Adding to the lols at the old ppl not knowing nba is watched globally and common knowledge these days. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51130: The minute someone mentions “Racecar” I can eliminate one group and get a head start on the grid! :) (3 years, 3 months ago)

Dances with Ferrets @ #51130: Aaaagghh!! The minute "Racecar" appears, you know it's another round of palindromes! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51513: The card game group doesn’t really work because of the different spellings and pronunciations and the small dog group is a bit iffy in my opinion. I looked up the answer for the Quasimodo group but couldn’t see references to the other entries in that group. Could you explain it. Thanks. Got the Drake group 😄 (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51513: Okay, found the other references for Laughton now but this is ‘pretty’ specialist knowledge (3 years, 3 months ago)

Jmelb @ #51506: give a point for beer! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Jmelb @ #51511: Ooh, that's piqued my curiosity!! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Jmelb @ #51512: carjack etc? They are blended words (3 years, 3 months ago)

Tom @ #49285: A clever, distinctive and novel approach, thanks (3 years, 3 months ago)

Jmelb @ #51512: Sorry, not sure what the green group is? (3 years, 3 months ago)

Tilly @ #51512: 7/10 but now I'm singing a song AND I know hat I want for lunch ty (3 years, 3 months ago)

Jmelb @ #51505: Thanks Fam, I originally did ash and changed to laurel! (3 years, 3 months ago)

informantxgirl @ #51512: The green group is horrid. What keywords was the gridmaker expecting exactly? (3 years, 3 months ago)

Tilly @ #51511: No not Leap but Trim because of a tenuous connection to where I grew up. The de Lacy family, who also owned Woodsome Hall, btw also haunted by Rimington [and yes I had experiences] :-0. (3 years, 3 months ago)

informantxgirl @ #51078: Fun, though a little too easy. I agree with the other commenter that "clay" is the one that stands out too much. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Jmelb @ #51511: Haunted?? (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51505: This was really tough. Could get some but not enough for whole groups. Did you mean Laurel rather than Ash in your answers. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Izzy @ #51363: (3 years, 3 months ago)

Tilly @ #51504: Good, just edit your answer, but does not deter from the quality (3 years, 3 months ago)

Jmelb @ #51509: heads up - very fiendish (3 years, 3 months ago)

barry womble @ #51500: terrific. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Jmelb @ #51506: True! (3 years, 3 months ago)

barry womble @ #51506: Great grid that completely defeated me. Maybe allow Beer as an answer as they all are if you include Ginger Beer? Thanks! (3 years, 3 months ago)

UStralian @ #51486: Truly awful wall. You've got two identical categories. Uzi is not spelled oozy. A "hair trigger" describes a trigger, not a trigger finger, while a hairpin does not describe anything to do with a trigger or finger. Gatt is not a type of gun, though gat and Gatling are. Just so many flaws. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51481: I think fruit and nut is hazelnuts. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Helen Bach @ #51495: Should be Archer, not Bow. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Omegaman @ #51244: How can rocks and stones be small stones? (3 years, 3 months ago)

Dances with Ferrets @ #51473: Yeah, those palindromes are done to death now. I'm a little rusty on my brands and my rap music too! 😆 (3 years, 3 months ago)

Omegaman @ #51228: Groups missing s is the same and old coins is correct so perhaps the acceptable answers could be widened. Otherwise this was fun. (3 years, 3 months ago)

d0gJaW @ #29105: It really needs to take "palindrome" as an answer for "palindromic names" (3 years, 3 months ago)

AB @ #33156: 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 (3 years, 3 months ago)

barry womble @ #51426: ***** for coming up with some new palindromes.Great 'king grid! (3 years, 3 months ago)

barry womble @ #51445: nice (3 years, 3 months ago)

barry womble @ #51457: good one. (3 years, 3 months ago)

barry womble @ #51473: enough palindromes. good grid though. (3 years, 3 months ago)

barry womble @ #51468: Great grid. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51470: Oh, at least I just noticed it was categorised as fiendish. That it is. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51469: 😣 (3 years, 3 months ago)

dogma @ #51447: Nice, fun ideas, with some great red herrings but the grid doesn't work. Olympia is also a Greek city as well as a US one, while Rhodes and Homer are both cities in the US as well as things associated with Greece, so there are at least three valid solutions to the grid as it stands and as the group links are defined, rather than just the one it's supposed to have. (3 years, 3 months ago)

dagoba @ #51445: Nice, straightforward grid, good fun. The only thing I didn't like was the cotton group - two of them are types/weaves of fabric, two are fibres the fabric is made from, and that spoils the logic of that group. I'd swap in linen and rayon for velvet and satin. (3 years, 3 months ago)

bigz @ #51211: I firest read LOTR 55 years ago. The items make sense of themselves but really don't come together well in most of the groups. Striclty for a limited audience - like a hobbit Rain Man. (3 years, 3 months ago)

bigz @ #51206: convoluted (3 years, 3 months ago)

bigz @ #51205: tsuj suolucidir (3 years, 3 months ago)

bigz @ #51203: much too niche (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51467: US based ones harder if you’re from the UK, but reverse is the same for you I’m sure. Couldn’t get the Fortune one which made the whole grid unfathomable for me, apart from the Blunder group appropriately. (3 years, 3 months ago)

also_fake_name @ #51253: died laughing when I got the wiki category first try (3 years, 3 months ago)

bigz @ #51196: Two groups make no sense at all. As for the third, what is a punch man? Bravo on chocolates. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51462: Nice easy one for kids (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51464: C’mon, you can’t be serious about the bathroom group 😄 I’d be interested in how many people would get the Frederick group also. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #51447: Hopkins? (3 years, 3 months ago)

scotts03 @ #51457: @d: Thought I put Texas in as an acceptable word, updated now. Thanks. (3 years, 3 months ago)

d @ #51458: I think it's best not to mix whether the connection precedes or follows the clues, which 3/4 categories did. Other than that, nice grid (3 years, 3 months ago)

JB @ #23323: I typed mythical places as the connection for Neverland et al, and it marked incorrect. (3 years, 3 months ago)

d @ #51457: Love the red herrings in this, but I think texas towns should be an acceptable connection for the big 12 category considering they all are, especially since UT (austin) is leaving the conference. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Risk @ #51452: Nice grid! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Ade @ #51438: Yay, 10/10. Lovely grid. Thank you (3 years, 3 months ago)

bigz @ #51164: since when does fondant go in potato salad? Bombay gin as we;;???? That group makes zero sense. (3 years, 3 months ago)

bigz @ #51161: 2 of the 4 are putrid (3 years, 3 months ago)

bigz @ #51160: soft and garlic pretty poor choices. not too legitimate as names of cheeses. (3 years, 3 months ago)

bigz @ #51155: nice misdirects with owen and staff from wilson, although I don't think anyone other than a beginner uses Wilson Staffs (3 years, 3 months ago)

Trillium @ #51434: It accepted "black" though the link specified was "pairs". How does that happen? 🎵 Do do do do...🎵 (3 years, 3 months ago)

JerseySue @ #51437: liked it - could the 'out' link also be 'up'? (3 years, 3 months ago)

JBW @ #51442: This is almost a good grid, but there are two things I don't like about the group Black, Fat, Pole, Wild - the word "Black" occurs twice on the grid, and "cat" is apparently not an acceptable answer! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Jeremy Jones @ #262: Z4, X3, M3, M5 - Cars manufactured by Mercedes Benz? Nope, they're all BMWs. Miffed the scoreline says 7/10 when it should have been a 10. Other than that I really liked the thought that went into it. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #51353: Far from impossible. I got all the groups and would have had all the connections if it had occurred to me that Sian could be thought of as a name. However, if you include that, why not also include Siri and Pol? In that case, any one of those three could validly have gone into the names group. (3 years, 3 months ago)

AB @ #51353: Well nigh impossible (3 years, 3 months ago)

Stephen @ #51341: Cartoon group was fine (nice misdirect with Bart). City group was a clever idea. The other two were too obscure for me; there was no "aha" moment seeing the answers. Making every clue a name is amusing/ambitious but it didn't work for me personally -- I instantly knew I wouldn't be able to finish because "famous name" types of clue are difficult for me.

Fam @ #51242: I think this works well as an easy medium TRA and you applied what people had mentioned about crossovers/red herrings. The only thing I would say is that the ‘connecting wall’ group is far too obvious so carry on trying to include groups for which it is harder to guess the connection. Great job though.

SK @ #51191: It's a good puzzle, but I think it needs more red herrings. You see Wii and switch and immediately think of Nintendo. You see Hamlet and Macbeth and immediately think of Shakespeare.

Jarah @ #51225: To the commenters above, pi is a function. There is the constant pi but there is also the function pi(n) which produces the number of prime numbers less than n. So pi(6) = 3 because there are three prime numbers less than 6 (3 years, 3 months ago)

david A garcia @ #51198: You could make the puzzle more challenging by throwing in some other categories that use the same or similar entries. Examples: CIVIC is a palindrome and uses all Roman numerals. MUSTANG and BRONCO are kinds of horses. Almost every category you made has items that could be split off like that. Keep going!

Chase @ #51213: Some categories, like "girls names", felt a bit too broad (3 years, 3 months ago)

Superrodan @ #51211: I'd argue this is not really the ideal grid for general audiences as it all has to do with specific knowledge of a singular IP. I was hoping the gimmick would be that everything was from LOTR but the categories would somehow be guessable without knowing much about the specifics of the story. It seems like it would be fun for fans of the books/movies though, so hopefully it finds its niche. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Chase @ #51211: very hard (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51191: @TRA It’s a neat grid that works well. If you wanted to make a trickier one you’d have to make the groups less obvious by having crossovers. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Ryan Chew @ #51191: I think maybe lakes should work for the group? (3 years, 3 months ago)

Icefang @ #51186: Peachy and peppery both having the same letter at the end doesn't feel quite as satisfying for the solution, though it does make sense for the couple of red herrings. (3 years, 3 months ago)

david A garcia @ #51193: Very nice grid! The Danson one threw me because I couldn't remember a God character. I may have missed something but if you're talking about "The Good Place" he played a god-like demon named Michael, and Demon might be a better clue. Still good! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Chris @ #42579: This grid doesn’t work in the usual sense - there isn’t a clear way to reach 28 upfront (unless you know all 16 and divide by 4, but that’s not how the format works). (3 years, 3 months ago)

Antony @ #51177: That was nigh on impossible. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51177: These seem like quite weak links to me but would be interested in what other people think. I don’t know if it is just that I’m not a strong quizzer. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Charles @ #42579: I am very sorry but this is not a very clever wall. There is no logical connection to be found within a group. So they all add up to 28? You can only find those groups if you know up front that the numbers all add up to 28 because nothing else connects them. But even then it doesn't make sense because "Minus One" and "Rogue One" are both 1 so how is "Rogue", "Candles", "Brothers" and "Months" a tight group when "Rogue" could just as easily have been "Minus". I'm very sorry but this is not a good wall. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #51169: Consistent, yes, but at the expense of quality. The lot and mote groups' logic was very poor. (3 years, 3 months ago)

barry womble @ #51133: great. (3 years, 3 months ago)

dagoba @ #51033: Fun grid, but only just solvable by luck, as bacon and sausage are interchangeable between their two groups (tomato could be swapped into it too - the sausage group is a bit too open). If you change sausage to something that can't go in the bacon/tomato group (fig, maybe?) you lose a nice red herring, but have a grid that actually works. There's only meant to be one workable solution to the grids, and there's at least one item in the bacon group that can be directly swapped with sausage. (3 years, 3 months ago)

barry womble @ #51134: perfection. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51119: Yep, impossible (3 years, 3 months ago)

Dogma @ #51033: Great ideas, but sausage and bacon could be swapped with each other, so one of them needs to be changed to make grid valid. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Ant @ #51043: Nice grid, looked tricky initially but turned out to quite solvable. :) (3 years, 3 months ago)

Ant @ #51042: Good grid. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Ant @ #51039: I found it impossible. Mostly because the connections were a little too vague. Even if I'd thought of the connector they weren't nice fits for the group so I discounted it too quickly. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #36344: Great grid. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #51146: Nice groups and crossovers (3 years, 3 months ago)

Quillen @ #51071: Very good grid, only issue is that the group containing "gold" did not accept "types of leaves." If you still have the link to edit the grid, I'd add "leaves" to the list of accepted terms. Good job! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Yoloswag @ #423: Too easy! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Quillen @ #519: I like the categories, very interesting ideas, but I think that the group containing laboratory should be more forgiving when naming it. I believe I typed "multiple pronunciations" and it didn't give me the point. Very good puzzle, though; I really enjoyed it. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #50654: Some of these grids quite tricky if you’re not from the US (3 years, 3 months ago)

Ant @ #51007: I think if you're going to word a change the words one, you should probably have all the words connected. That said, I was happy enough with the other groups. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #50655: Exactly. Nice. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #50670: Nice one (3 years, 3 months ago)

Dogma @ #50971: There were answers that could've been swapped between the 'tech companies' and 'high earning businesses' groups (unless that's a technical term with a very specific definition I don't know of), so the grid doesn't actually have only one valid solution. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Charles @ #51000: I liked it but there are some connections are not tight enough in my opinion. For instance with the toy category, there is a mixture of toy manufactures and toy lines. For instance Nerf is a toy line which is owned by the toy manufacture Hasbro. It would be better and tighter if they were either all toy lines like Barbie, Nerf etc. or all manufacturers like Mattel, Hasbro etc. The animal category could also be tighter. A ewe is specifically a female animal and the rest are not. I do really like the apostrophe one, that was quite clever. A lot of potential for red herrings. (3 years, 3 months ago)

ARD 41 @ #50997: 32, 64, 96 and 128 are most obviously multiples of 32, but this was not accepted, so perhaps change that. Prime numbers is fine. I am a mathematician and I have no clue what the other two groups are, like the previous commenter. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Dogma @ #50959: Nice ideas, and fun to do, although I spotted three group connections immediately, I feel like I actually sorted the groups by accident more than deduction, as there were at least two pairs that could be swapped between groups. The Nixie and Selkie groups are fun, but not sufficiently different from each other - Nixie and Selkie could be directly swapped over between their respective groups as they both fullfil the criteria for both. Similarly, ermine and sable are interchangeable between their two groups. The grid isn't valid, which is a shame, as I enjoyed for the most part (3 years, 3 months ago)

Hew @ #47542: Just tried three of you walls - brilliant- defeated every time- very clever and starting to see your style - love them (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fam @ #37772: Simple but clean. Good grid. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Dogma @ #50987: Quite good. It all worked, but three of the groups needed to be solved using the same sort of wordplay, which took time and was a little monotonous. If one more group had been straightforward answers, it would have been better. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Dogma @ #50976: Nice, logical and easy to sort out the groups, but two of the group definitions were very restrictive, only accepting the plurals. Also, in the 'love' group answer, you don't actually state what the connection is - it's fairly obvious, from your explanation of each item, but it would be good to have the actual link written there (3 years, 3 months ago)

Ant @ #50971: Not sure why the square numbers weren't written out (it made the group far too easy to spot being numbers, so much so I though it was a trap). The tech group and high earning businesses overlap too much, making it hard to tell which should go into which. (3 years, 3 months ago)

William @ #29992: Not only can they make other words by putting S first, but they also make other words if replace the first letter with D: deep, dowl, dawn and duck are all words. That's the connection I noticed with them anyway! Now I know what you're going to say, dowl isn't a word, but apparently it is an obsolete term for the filaments of a feather, related to the word down. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Charles @ #2297: People are saying it's too easy. It is not "too" easy. It's not the most difficult wall I have played, I'll give you that. But to the people who are claiming it's "too easy" I have to say, it's quite easy to spot certain connections, then you probably on accident found a group or two, there fore eliminating a red herring or two right off the bat and then the grid becomes much more orderly. Well done on making this wall. There are red herrings in every group. (3 years, 3 months ago)

d @ #50891: Not bad, but needs more red herrings. I also think it's important for clues to be either 'preceded by x' or 'follow x' and not a mix. The eye category also has similar consistency issues, unless 'eye of the cyclops' is a phrase I'm unfamiliar with. (3 years, 3 months ago)

bigz @ #50846: Don't most Porsche owners belong in the bag group??? What in God's name is a cabin bag? Also, when you mix prefices with suffices or tag words before with tag words after, it's just inconsistent. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Do give yourself the extra points mentally. (There's probably no need to comment about this, unless it's constructive.) A constructive reply is to advise you to think a little and put the basics into the answer so no one feels the need to criticise you for the lack. There is little wrong with the system, it's broad enough to accept decent input. The fault lies with the end user. Garbage in, garbage out. RTFM. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Helen Bach @ #50836: Great Britain isn't a country in itself, it's part of the United Kingdom which has a land border with Ireland. A more minor error: Andorra has a double "r". (3 years, 3 months ago)

bloss @ #50754: tricks! (3 years, 3 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #50804: I spent the better part of a minute staring until my 'aha' moment. Excellent grid, thanks for posting! (3 years, 3 months ago)

vexel @ #50839: Good luck Adam! (3 years, 3 months ago)

david A garcia @ #50827: One of the best! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Coked up @ #50825: Have to disagree Nighteyes. Maybe it's your accent. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Chris @ #50584: Sad to do this one on the day that Charlie Watts died. :-( (3 years, 3 months ago)

Jmelb @ #50827: Good TY (3 years, 3 months ago)

Jmelb @ #50804: Thanks Stj : ) (3 years, 3 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #50825: No. Won and one are not homophones (3 years, 3 months ago)

Jackie Chapman @ #50804: Clever twist. Fairly easy once the initial connection is made. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Gridlington @ #30437: Got the Hornet group by default! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Gridlington @ #50754: Great grid! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Joe @ #17624: Very easy buy very good (3 years, 3 months ago)

Gridlington @ #50804: Oh yes, a refreshing format! Enjoyed it! Not difficult but fun! (3 years, 3 months ago)

david A garcia @ #50804: I like the format and enjoyed it, although the word is CONFAB, Not CONFLAB, which might apply to a Weight Watchers meeting, but doesn't appear in the dictionary. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Jeff @ #37982: Best one I've seen since finding this site! Much different than most on here. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Poves @ #50809: Cool and clever (3 years, 3 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #50754: V Good (3 years, 3 months ago)

Quiara @ #50786: Really liked the cut off months category in the abstract, but the two sets of proper names were just too much imo. I don't think I could name a single Literature Nobelist, let alone four. (Oh, Dylan, I guess - which would have been a better misdirect for the novel characters than Cela or whatever.) (3 years, 3 months ago)

Ant @ #50810: Chicken McNuggets have shapes... I had never noticed. lol (3 years, 3 months ago)

Ant @ #50797: Weirdly I guessed grass and watch for the drunk and reptile group respectively, and both were accepted. Not sure why thought? (3 years, 3 months ago)

St John @ #50796: v good (3 years, 4 months ago)

fredoo @ #50785: Far too many red herrings. Just a guessing game. Poor. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Kay @ #50269: I kept looking for a word one where two letters were switched, because of anemone being spelled "anenome" (3 years, 4 months ago)

bigz @ #50750: The G is silent. Tree being crowned was a real stretch, though. Good board. (3 years, 4 months ago)

bigz @ #50749: Well intertwined. Ran out of time on the right tracks. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jess @ #33156: Very satisfying! (3 years, 4 months ago)

QueenBee @ #50714: Enjoyed this. Spent far too long on the 'man' connection though. Clever. (3 years, 4 months ago)

B Rad @ #50779: The US postal abbreviations is so esoteric compared to the others... Especially given how easy the other three were. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Brian @ #50795: Tricky! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Fez @ #50794: @ Helen Bach, true, I struggled to find that one, but it fit the group. I but wanted the vermouth connection. @Ragman, thanks edits will be made (3 years, 4 months ago)

Brian @ #50797: Good one - maybe accept some more words for “drunk” in the first reason? (3 years, 4 months ago)

Helen Bach @ #50794: When your explanation says "14th largest of..." it does look like you were clutching at straws to make up that group. (3 years, 4 months ago)

The_real_louise @ #50792: Good wall but a bit harsh (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ant @ #50774: I quite enjoyed it. Immigrant Song is a famous song by Led Zepplin, but some people may not be familiar with it. I no qualms about Goose (especially since the rest of the group is singular) or Cover Song which I have heard people use (even if technically inaccurate). (3 years, 4 months ago)

barry womble @ #50794: brilliant. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jmelb @ #50724: : D (3 years, 4 months ago)

KG @ #50792: Good grid, nice variety. Clever inside joke with Louise being an imposter (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jeremy Jones @ #50772: "Pearl" as a programming language should be "Perl". (3 years, 4 months ago)

Helen Bach @ #50779: Well, there's 50. But I agree, that isn't a good group. It does come down to just containing common two-letter sequences. (3 years, 4 months ago)

lockdown @ #50789: hint - it helps if your older (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dogma @ #50774: Good ideas - I liked the singulars of the presents in Twelve days of Christmas, but it's a 'cover version' or just a 'cover' of a song, not a 'cover song', and I've never heard of immigrant song (possibly that's just my ignorance). (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dogma @ #50769: Good ideas, but given that there aren't meant to be directly swappable answers, which mean there's more than one valid solution, it doesn't quite work. Length could be swapped with Deep or Socks. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jack @ #50631: Ooh I 'ate you Butler! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Emma @ #31008: I'd argue Jessica Rabbit isn't actually a rabbit, so doesn't belong in that group, but "cheese or sheep?" was fun! 🙂 (3 years, 4 months ago)

Cooky @ #50755: a batsman as in cricket (3 years, 4 months ago)

bigz @ #50718: Charles I was beheaded. None of the Georges was executed. (3 years, 4 months ago)

John @ #50738: “Connect” group should be such that the word “connect” is added in the same place for all of them. It doesn’t work to have it added as a separate word before some, a separate word after others, and as part of the same word in still others. (Plus “Ion” is capitalized, so it doesn’t work that way.) The counting group is also a little wonky, since you’re not adding the same thing to each member. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ragman @ #50758: Oh, okay..Is it an American term ? (3 years, 4 months ago)

Hal Jam @ #50755: Bats? (3 years, 4 months ago)

dickbutt @ #50673: really thought mustard, green, plum, and scarlett would go together because of the game "clue" (3 years, 4 months ago)

AB @ #50705: Unfortunately sometimes in an effort to look intelligent people produce walls that are simply impossible. Hysteresis is an example of this. Although all the words can have a effect called hysteresis the answer given does not hold true. BTW “Hysteresis is the dependence of the state of a system on its history” is literally the Google definition. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ant @ #50650: I like what you were trying to do, but it's too hard with some of the numbers you've chosen. For example I guessed that square numbers could be a potential group but didn't have time to find all the square numbers against the clock (at least without a calculator to hand). How anyone is supposed to figure out 33550336 is perfect is beyond me. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Moondog @ #50625: Seriously irritated that years was not enough to be marked correct for Tiger Rabbit Ox Dragon. In the context the reply cannot mean anything other than the correct answer! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Moondog @ #50627: Didn't get the group links and so am very impressed. Top notch. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Helen Bach @ #50624: I think I fell into every single trap on this one! (3 years, 4 months ago)

bigz @ #50608: It is RATTAN, not rattEN. (3 years, 4 months ago)

david A garcia @ #50600: Nice grid, but "nail bomb"? Jeez, Dzhokhar, "gun" wouldn't have been enough? (3 years, 4 months ago)

david A garcia @ #50623: I agree, although I do admire the meta twist. (3 years, 4 months ago)

ARD 41 @ #50621: Nice one! (3 years, 4 months ago)

ARD 41 @ #50623: Was loving this grid, but I am not a fan of groups that aren’t connected to each other but to members of the other groups. The other 3 groups are great. (3 years, 4 months ago)

ARD 41 @ #50627: I like 3 of the groups very much, but don’t like the 4th group being the other 3 links and the word group. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ade @ #50597: Nice grid. And an extra star for including one of my favourite authors. Thank you (3 years, 4 months ago)

misof @ #47258: Only managed 4/10 but still enjoyed it. Everything in Narnia was too long, there's no way to get those without some educated/lucky guess. Having "entrail" and "fainted" instead of "Reliant" and "Defiant" threw me off so I didn't find the spaceships in time. (3 years, 4 months ago)

misof @ #47270: Circle / semi-circle is wrong, it's 2, not 1/2. It should have been the other way around. (3 years, 4 months ago)

misof @ #47477: Adding three letters at the end and the fourth one at the beginning is never a good idea. Either have no pattern, or, preferably, have the same pattern in all four. (3 years, 4 months ago)

JesseBlack @ #50620: I think blood works as you can say that something is blood boiling or that really boils my blood meaning something that makes you very angry. (3 years, 4 months ago)

St John @ #50609: denied my floaty screen for wrong description of the hard line. :-( don't worry I awarded myself the point anyway and can replay to get my floaty fix :-) ty (3 years, 4 months ago)

ARD 41 @ #50606: Allow the word surgeon as well as surgery. (3 years, 4 months ago)

ARD 41 @ #50607: I am grateful to anyone who puts a grid together for others’ amusement, but this not good. You can’t have a group connected by being the last 4 words remaining, particularly when it contains a word starting with s and that was the connection for another group. (3 years, 4 months ago)

lockdown @ #50605: Nice ty (3 years, 4 months ago)

Rob @ #39638: hi (3 years, 4 months ago)

misof @ #49040: This was fun :) As a remark, the operations in the other direction could have also been accepted -- e.g., I entered "plus six" for the group you call "minus six" as I tried describing how to fix them and not how they were broken. (3 years, 4 months ago)

misof @ #49063: Meh. Please don't be lazy and make sure you have the punctuation right, it's distracting. (3 years, 4 months ago)

VCM @ #50591: Life and soul of the party (3 years, 4 months ago)

misof @ #50042: IMHO it would have been better to use Sigmund instead of Lucien in the "eponymous" group -- in the other three cases the adjective is actually formed from the name of the mentioned person, in Lucien's case it isn't so it discourages the solvers from thinking in that direction.

Helen Bach @ #50260: Never heard of a Marigold glove? They're rubber gloves, it's a trade name but people often use it generically as well. Definitely not an obscure thing. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Helen Bach @ #50585: Actually a sound one, to my surprise. I saw Wool-er and Lint-on and got sidetracked... (3 years, 4 months ago)

Helen Bach @ #50571: Good one. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Helen Bach @ #50578: I suppose Saint Helena is a sort of hint, but she wouldn't have been a saint when she was an empress. It's one of those "three-quarters excllent" grids that's so nearly there but let down by the last group. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Helen Bach @ #50583: Solid. (3 years, 4 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #50362: Good grid for all the music lovers, thanks for posting! (3 years, 4 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #50210: Very nice, thanks! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dagoba @ #50578: Good grid, but to be honest, as the items in the Empresses group are the only ones that contain women's names,'Women's Names' is perfectly valid as an answer , since there's nothing more specific needed to differentiate that group from the others. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Hester @ #50570: Good (3 years, 4 months ago)

david A garcia @ #50559: Popular is the key word. I don't play video games, but I recognized a couple of terms vaguely enough to figure it out with some, you know, PUZZLING. Well made, Aetees! (3 years, 4 months ago)

david A garcia @ #50576: "No, man. You just gotta get inside my head and explore MY horizons. Like, okay like right now, I could list like...okay: A case of cinnamon Yankee Candles, a charred model of the Galileo 7 shuttlecraft, a japanese dub of Cloud Atlas, and my mom's severed head.

Jonny @ #47100: Interesting concept but not that difficult once you piece it together (3 years, 4 months ago)

david A garcia @ #50512: Nice variety and red herrings. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Moondog @ #50510: X men rejected and imperial measures rejected. Badly thought out answers. Poor quality grid. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Omegaman @ #50510: Something wrong when imperial measures isn’t accepted so maybe the answers need widening? (3 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #50498: Ive never heard of a hawk moth (3 years, 4 months ago)

bigz @ #50476: Another winner. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Helen Bach @ #50504: Basically impossible. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Helen Bach @ #50498: I don't think the hawk moths are that obscure. I recognised them, and I'm no entomologist. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Helen Bach @ #50488: :( (3 years, 4 months ago)

Helen Bach @ #50478: Yes, that was going well until the "start with names" group and then it rather fell apart. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Helen Bach @ #50477: Actually, good one. (3 years, 4 months ago)

B @ #49854: I agree - not bad (3 years, 4 months ago)

david A garcia @ #50507: I guess it might be fun for Minnesotans. I might have had more luck with, say... Chauvin, Kueng, Lane, Thao. (3 years, 4 months ago)

david A garcia @ #50504: The concept is good, there were just too many crossovers. If one category had contained only one possible solution, it would have been solvable without needing the Enigma codes. (3 years, 4 months ago)

bt @ #50505: Thanks @Gorgon! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Helen Bach @ #50500: That's one of the better "the clues all start with..." connections. They're often not very good, so well done! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Helen Bach @ #50497: I think I might swap out one of the Carnival of the Animals group for Pianists, because (1) it's distinctively something that goes in that group which would stop any "oh, but that group could also be..."-type quibbles, and (2) it's quite funny. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Gorgon @ #50505: You forgot to capitalize the Incredibles group, made it easy to spot them (3 years, 4 months ago)

Helen Bach @ #50498: Good one. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Helen Bach @ #50499: Not sure Tinker actually works, and Larry King is such a stretch that it would have been better to use the actual words rather than trying to hide them, then you'd have single words to blend in with the other clues on the wall too. (3 years, 4 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #50472: Nice grid. Was proper scratching my head trying to translate one group until it clicked! 5* TY (3 years, 4 months ago)

anon @ #50467: gratis (3 years, 4 months ago)

AB @ #50467: Footloose doesn’t have the same meaning and you can put break in front of almost any item so that surely can’t count. (3 years, 4 months ago)

AB @ #50471: Never heard of a wireman. Google says it’s an electrician. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Observation @ #50472: "Out you damned spot" lol :-) vg ty (3 years, 4 months ago)

Observation @ #50468: I know insufficient to disagree with barry womble, so paul was enough for me to put the group together. Spent ages looking at the snow and still did not click. Rim I thought a bit mean, sure you could find an alternative? Enjoyed your grid ty (3 years, 4 months ago)

Observation @ #50467: Well I liked it. Good use of red herrings and free is free! ty (3 years, 4 months ago)

Observation @ #50466: neat synonyms? (3 years, 4 months ago)

barry womble @ #50468: les paul is not a brand or manufacturer - it is a model made by gibson. You could try Martin instead? Sorry for pedantry. (3 years, 4 months ago)

winxvictor @ #50364: times are harder (3 years, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #47162: Very high quality, clever, entertaining and challenging (3 years, 4 months ago)

Kuba @ #50451: Very nice, thanks for making! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Observation @ #50439: thanks Dgms (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #50452: Very good ideas, it could be a really good grid, but it needs some work. You can't have identical words in two groups, so basket needs to be changed in on of them. 'Rank' doesn't contain a word meaning the same as the others, it just is the word - you could edit it to 'Rankle'. 'Ish' isn't really a homophone for 'ich'. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #50240: Really good fun, and great ideas - I really enjoyed it. The only big problem is that Power and Break can be directly swapped with each other between groups, and there's only supposed to be on valid solution. If you amend Break to Mill, that cross over would be eliminated (and while Mill could still fit into another group, there's nothing in that group that could be swapped with Mill). (3 years, 4 months ago)

david A garcia @ #50446: It can be both, Noah Webster. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jmelb @ #50439: Well done (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #50439: I think Rhodes Island might be a typo for Rhode Island - it made getting the groups a lot more difficult. (3 years, 4 months ago)

AB @ #50440: I liked the theme (3 years, 4 months ago)

AB @ #50446: Hatched is a verb not an adjective (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dipthong @ #50419: Yes! She's linked to two of the clues - Press Gang and then the Pride and Prejudice link because she played Lydia in the 1995 series! Haven't seen her in anything recently though... (3 years, 4 months ago)

St John @ #50440: a little variation (3 years, 4 months ago)

Feza @ #33231: Nice, but not sure about the expressions related to horse and Harvey. (3 years, 4 months ago)

poopydoopy @ #50371: I think if the names of the singers were confined to a genre or band, or the singers shared something (first name is Billie/ Grammy Award winners/ etc.) then there would be a stronger connection. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Riji @ #49632: Thanks for the feedback! Updated the seed category and the accepted terms. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Elizardbreth @ #45006: Could have made it so it would accept "large" and "extinct". Other than that, fabulous grid! Really good job. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Elizardbreth @ #45138: Confused seems to be a bit of a weak category tbh. The tv show one could have had some red herrings to make it more obvious, but that's on me for not recognizing it tbh. Ty for the grid :)) (3 years, 4 months ago)

Elizardbreth @ #45385: Made me smile :) good job 👍 (3 years, 4 months ago)

Elizardbreth @ #45519: I was thinking it was something musical. Never guessed ALL FOUR connections would be musical .. nor that they would belong to ONE ARTIST. Cute grid, but maybe not best suited for 'general audience'? (3 years, 4 months ago)

Elizardbreth @ #46173: Easy squeezy for this Texas native. Excellent grid 👍 (3 years, 4 months ago)

Elizardbreth @ #50040: Well done! The last two stumped me- didn't know all the lakes, and had never heard of a Sazerac (3 years, 4 months ago)

Elizardbreth @ #50177: You've done it again, WV. Nice grid. 👍 (3 years, 4 months ago)

Moondog @ #50415: Space raiders are manufactured by KP and are a corn snack, a sub set of the brand. Crisp is a little innacurate. The other three are the brand names. The Only Connect 'elves' wouldn't make such a glaring mistake. Apart from that error, the rest of the grid is inventive and accurate, although not too taxing for a 10/10 score. (3 years, 4 months ago)

AB @ #50418: Rope is not a type of jump. Jump (or skipping) is a type of rope. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Loin El Richie @ #50362: Personal fave. gg. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #50393: @bigz Cantaloupe has PE at the end. I'm not sure about Darmstadt - DT might be design technology. (3 years, 4 months ago)

PillyBiper @ #50380: Good grid. However, Pluto is not a planet if it were there would be thousands of bits of rock big enough to qualify. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Gorgon @ #50360: I would think ultimate should work for the Top group. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Gorgon @ #50395: @Horatio - a quick google search would tell you that they are distinct figures in Greek mythology (3 years, 4 months ago)

St John @ #50229: Hi Rick B, neither just losing my little grey cells at an alarming rate, prob due to a lack of Theakston's Old Peculiar lubrication. ;-) (3 years, 4 months ago)

barry womble @ #50403: Not sure about the Wilburys in this group. What about carthorse instead and something like Oud in the different sized ensemble group? Still a brilliant grid from a true puzzgrid all-star though! Please keep them coming. (3 years, 4 months ago)

secret @ #42747: Answer for the clue regarding "rotas", etc. was vaguely framed- could add more synonyms like, say "timetables". (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jonny @ #6833: Very cool. Love all the presidential red herrings. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jonny @ #44363: Schadenfreude was super hard to guess. got it by sheer luck and even then I didn't realise Chad was in it. I was looking out for Middle Eastern countries (3 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #50397: Good, but the letter switch group is inconsistent. (3 years, 4 months ago)

St John @ #50400: good grid man - spell checker DalmatiAn (3 years, 4 months ago)

Roy @ #50384: (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jen @ #47954: Last group is impossible to work out and rather bad taste !! (3 years, 4 months ago)

bt @ #50371: "Didn't? Leave some feedback, as long as it's constructive." @daz just because you don't know something doesn't make it a bad grid. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Superrodan @ #50360: This was one of those ones with just enough crossovers in the category I immediately recognized for me to have to give up and narrow it down by finding the other connections. Once I found them they were relatively easy to categorize (though with a few red herrings) without anything too obscure. I liked it. (3 years, 4 months ago)

hawthorn @ #50391: For the first three groups I literally gave a word that was in the answer, so I'm not sure what it was expecting (3 years, 4 months ago)

JD @ #98: Only answer; notes on a musical scale? (sound like - not true spelling) Tonic sol-fa/solfa/solfege need to be answers: The solfege syllables for the ascending chromatic scale are Do- Di- Re- Ri- Mi- Fa- Fi- Sol- Si- La- Li- Ti- Do The solfege syllables for the descending chromatic scale are Do- Ti- Te- La- Le- Sol- Se- Fa- Mi- Me- Re- Ra- Do Enjoyed your wall nevertheless, sorry but as a musician . . . . . (3 years, 4 months ago)

AB @ #50391: Good questions but your answers are strange. For equipment eg saddle you have the answer “these are some of the horse”. More care needed. The facial markings answer needs to be more succinct too. (3 years, 4 months ago)

AB @ #50362: Very good (3 years, 4 months ago)

bigz @ #50353: Homophones, not homonyms (3 years, 4 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #50384: @ St John - tbh I never checked whether Stern belonged in the other group, it's a ridiculous coincidence. I'll either tighten up the connection wording or replace it with something else. Thanks for highlighting. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Nicky @ #50365: 5* for mention of my favourite band! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Will S @ #50351: The red herring group is less obvious than the groups in the solution. MND = A Midsummer Night's Dream (see explanations of the groups). (3 years, 4 months ago)

Daz @ #50371: Probably one of the worst grids...Noone plays GI....very vague last names of singers....Yellow Jacket??? can i have the last 3 minutes back? (3 years, 4 months ago)

Daz @ #50372: Ground isnt really the answer they are steaks. I dont think its right to have 'can be preceeded or followed by...' should be one or the other. (3 years, 4 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #50355: Nice, TY (3 years, 4 months ago)

d @ #50341: It might just be cause I happened to be familiar with the connections but I thought it could maybe use more red herrings, I rarely solve the grids on here but I got this one in like 30 seconds. Also as an FYI idiom wasn't accepted, may want to change that (3 years, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #24084: Very clever and challenging in the best way, thanks (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ade @ #50296: Lovely grid. Pretty simple but fun. Thank you (3 years, 4 months ago)

bigz @ #50331: Pretty pass ??????????? Good job with carbon and cannon as ade does make cannonade but carbonnade is the more used spelling from the French than the single n Flemish spelling. That was a real fooler. (3 years, 4 months ago)

bigz @ #50330: Shelley is the correct spelling. Bradbury and Wells belong in a sci fi category and not as horror authors. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Informantxgirl @ #42675: I especially liked the "arrest" group. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Kieran Moore @ #50355: Nice grid! Some fun crossovers and still doable! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ant @ #50262: Very Clever, much enjoyed. (3 years, 4 months ago)

The GC @ #49837: AMAZING grid! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Horatio @ #50310: Thanks for posting a puzzle, but this is really, really bad - the positive reviews are simply patronising guff. 23 seconds, and it only took that long because I stopped to yawn in the middle. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Horatio @ #50312: Dances, NATO phonetic alphabet, Shakesperan characters and state capitals have all been done to death. Well done on making a puzzle, but please lets have something new. (3 years, 4 months ago)

JubalBarca @ #14069: Given that Einstein is mostly known as a physicist rather than a mathematician, I don't actually think the grid quite solves properly - in that Newton is an SI unit and can be swapped with many of the people in the SI units set. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Gorgon @ #49240: change the wrestling group to allow "wrestl" (3 years, 4 months ago)

EOS @ #50296: @bigz: 'Lay of the land' is US idiom. 'Lie of the land' more normal in UK/Ireland. (3 years, 4 months ago)

St John @ #50311: I liked it but, if I were Mr Picky or Mr Pedantic, some of the tenses or plurals could use a tweak esp on the David Austin line (3 years, 4 months ago)

St John @ #50310: good one, looking for the kids programme, nice re herrings 5* (3 years, 4 months ago)

St John @ #50308: @ Igor, correct [and age dependent] easy but fun (3 years, 4 months ago)

JerseySue @ #50307: Enjoyed this start to the day, thank you, but can't the 'ting' also be ted? (3 years, 4 months ago)

Igor @ #50308: I think that most people will just not get it or will find it very easy, depending whether they know one subject. I enjoyed it. (3 years, 4 months ago)

sally @ #50290: there's a word incorrectly spelled - it should be 'Caramac' (3 years, 4 months ago)

d @ #50306: This is top tier stuff, so obvious once you see them all but it genuinely stumped me (3 years, 4 months ago)

david A garcia @ #40083: Occasionally I'll see a comment offering an improvement to a set of clues that was seemingly acted upon, as the comment will no longer reflect what I see on the grid. Good on the creator and the commenter. It's annoying when the mistake or obfuscating clue is left unchanged. Why wouldn't you want to fix it and not wallow in mediocrity? (3 years, 4 months ago)

Terri @ #50299: Particularly evil 😈 (3 years, 4 months ago)

david A garcia @ #50290: I question the validity of "big cats", but okay. However, "felines" must be included as a correct answer. They ARE. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Risk @ #50274: Best grid for ages (3 years, 4 months ago)

d @ #50087: this is pretty clever (3 years, 4 months ago)

JayDee @ #50290: Always best to spell something correctly. It's Caramac. (3 years, 4 months ago)

d @ #50105: Agreed @jonbob (3 years, 4 months ago)

ARD @ #50131: I could have said White instead, but I wanted to reassure there was a group of snooker balls in there. (3 years, 4 months ago)

d @ #50106: Anagrams of countries minus the letter I? I respect the creativity but I feel like that's a bit unreasonable (3 years, 4 months ago)

d @ #50113: I like the red herrings with vampires and luc besson, but the directors and remakes were a bit too easy imo, particularly the directors (3 years, 4 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #50292: To be perfectly honest, I think this is far too specific. It's not even enough to be passingly familiar with Pink Floyd's biggest hits - you have to know albums. (3 years, 4 months ago)

d @ #50118: I enjoy your walls but I think some of your spelling/word connections can be a bit overkill at times (3 years, 4 months ago)

d @ #50210: This is the first time I've gotten the full 10! I'm pretty proud of myself for spotting the last connection cause I never would have grouped those, I think the only reason I noticed is cause I had done a few of your walls in a row so I have a feel for what to look for (3 years, 4 months ago)

d @ #50211: This is a doosie. I caught nickel and quarter pretty faced but I never thought to look for them inside the words and not at the end. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Simon @ #50262: Hi, it is a chain of coffee shops in the North West of England. Didn't realise it wasn't known elsewhere. I will change it for non-north west people :) (3 years, 4 months ago)

d @ #50223: Damn this one is good. I was so convinced that one of the connections would be words that are nouns and verbs that the only group I got were the plurals (3 years, 4 months ago)

d @ #50235: I think you need more red herrings, I usually don't solve the whole wall but I got this one in under a minute (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #50241: @bigz I thought that at first, but I was thinking of the German, and 'Gesondheid' is correct in Afrikaans, which is what the setter specifies in the answer. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #50251: Very nice, logical groups. I'll nit-pick and say that in the description of the Dark group, you ought to specify 'title' too, and in the East group, only one of the terms really has connotations of myth or fantasy. (3 years, 4 months ago)

d @ #48330: damn this one was nicely assembled, I knew it was new mexico cities but I couldn't nail the combination. the cars were a nice touch as well, one of those ones that's easy to see once they're all together but hard to notice in the flow of the game (3 years, 4 months ago)

d @ #49736: I think you needed more red herrings, I normally don't complete the walls on here but I got this one in under a minute (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dipthong @ #50253: @RegularQuizzer, I'm sorry you found this small brain teaser outside your ability and thus resorted to curt comments that are certainly not constructive in improving this wall. It is hardly necessary to be so brusque in your language when you could have simply stated what you found challenging about the puzzle and perhaps also - if you are capable of such measures - what you enjoyed. I do not believe that all the links contained within the wall are outside the reach of the majority of quizzers, but maybe your brash comment is a result of frustration at not noticing red herrings or some fiendishly simple link? I hope your future comments show more civility and decorum than this one. Thank you. (3 years, 4 months ago)

RegularQuizzer @ #50253: This is atrocious. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Hester @ #50241: harder than it first appears TY (3 years, 4 months ago)

d @ #50234: FYI fuzz is the only law enforcement slang there I've heard before, also I put trades for the first connection and got counted wrong, might be worth fixing (3 years, 4 months ago)

Mojo872 @ #50110: @corrector: nope - "peperone" is Italian for "bell pepper" (plural: "peperoni". On the other hand, "pepperoni" is the Italian-American sausage. The clue only works with the former! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Feza @ #32802: Very clever and enjoyable! Thanks. (3 years, 4 months ago)

If I were the quizmaster I would maybe stop trying to strive for the feeling of being smarter than everyone in the room and throwing in red herrings everywhere. Do better, be more like 9/11 hero Mark Wahlberg (owner of Wahlburgers). Have a nice day. (3 years, 4 months ago)

dumb @ #50151: damn I wish I remembered capital vs capitol from third grade (3 years, 4 months ago)

Good grid @ #48141: I enjoyed it although it was very easy. Acute and obtuse can pretty much only be angles, humpback and beluga can pretty much only be whales. It was clever having a whole category that was just "blue" and not actually including "blue" though and "bookworm" was nice. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Mark Nagle @ #50218: sorry - please explain . The answers make NO sense to me. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Good grid @ #49678: Loved the misdirect of having the gems along with "ruby" which is actually in its own category for being red. Annoyed that I didn't get "Black __" when I got the red things, and I went through so many possibilities thinking they could be kinds of gun (sheep gun / sheep rifle, a rifle, a widow(maker?) and panther (I knew it was a tank which was close) or maybe things that can be used as nouns and verbs (widow and to widow, rifle and to rifle, admittedly this falls apart with panther and sheep).

grovers @ #50147: i apologise eric! this is my first grid so i thought you only could put one word in the box to do with links. i've changed it now, but your comments were insulting and i think a bit of an exaggeration (3 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #50105: I feel like for this one, any of the individual rows would be a great Connections Round problem. But put together in a grid, there are just too many possible connections between 16 numbers possible (for my tastes anyway). (3 years, 4 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #49968: Yep, same here! Guessed the last line. Great grid, enjoyed it TY 5* (3 years, 4 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #49980: Agreed, but I thought there's more of a chance of solving it this way through similarities and process of elimination. (Alba, Albain etc) Anyway, once you've tried one way, e.g. all Latin, you realise it's the other, no? (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jo @ #49980: Does not work because you can also do them in groups by language ie all Latin (3 years, 4 months ago)

Risk @ #49885: Really good (3 years, 4 months ago)

Gridlington @ #49948: I liked the DA line and the Droit line, but Cluedo is overused and although (as an electronics technician,) I know about logic gates, I think your average punter still won't have a clue what they are, even after seeing the answer. I was trying to make them into names by adding a Y; Roy, Danny, Roxy... couldn't get the last one tho! 😄 (3 years, 4 months ago)

Kuba @ #49961: Very nice! I love themed grids. Thank you for making! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Kuba @ #49965: I would advise not to make a grid with foreign languages if you have to use google translate to get the options. Make sure you really understand your own groups before making them into a puzzle. But on the whole, it didn't matter too much that there were mistakes because the links were clear! Thanks for making :) (3 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49934: A rare 5*. Very clever (3 years, 4 months ago)

Kez @ #49736: Very good and challenging. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Omegaman @ #49920: I think US tv programmes with a single word title ought to be correct. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Omegaman @ #49886: Very good and original. Had fun deciphering these, thank you. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Omegaman @ #49882: Sorry but not for me. Colours not on a rainbow? - but at least it accepted colours. Seals have pups and raccoons have kits not cubs. Second letter i is a very poor group. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Omegaman @ #49880: As #49876 (3 years, 4 months ago)

Omegaman @ #49876: My comments are the same as dgms. I certainly wasn’t thinking of Hermione, expecting it to be something I hadn’t heard of. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jen @ #49854: Wish there were more walls like this one with straightforward one word answers!! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Loin El Richie @ #49918: Buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo Buffalo buffalo. (3 years, 4 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #49912: Jesu. Could not see how it fitted in at all, then read the explanation. Delightfully devious business maaaan (3 years, 4 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #49902: Nice one. The utter group utterly did me. (Not got a clue about Kane group but should have got the utter one!) Tricky tricky... 5* (3 years, 4 months ago)

LS94 @ #49890: Favourite grid I've seen on here, excellent stuff! (3 years, 4 months ago)

LS94 @ #49883: Good crossovers but I'd recommend taking Loki off the grid as Loki can be swapped into the Norse Gods group for Odin or Thor and it would still work. Grids shouldn't have multiple possible solutions. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Terri @ #49896: enjoyed this one! :) (3 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #49909: ahh, little wonder my knowledge was lacking (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #49905: Nice ideas, but three groups had identifiers which were too similar, and the Niels group, as well as being people whose names were used for elements, is also a group in which all the members begin with the atomic symbol for an element- Ni - nickel, La lanthanum, Li lithium, Y yttrium. Also, ore follows iron, it's not a synonym. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Hamburger @ #49909: Mother Love Bone was an American rock band that formed in Seattle, Washington in 1988. The band was active from 1988 to 1990. Frontman Andrew Wood's . (3 years, 4 months ago)

David @ #49874: Fun, thanks. (3 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #49911: why the repeat? (3 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #49907: as per freddgar, barters?? maybe barterers or barkers? wd ty (3 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #49909: wd ty - mothers love??? (3 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #49896: great fun! a scramble to complete the grid with 2 secs to spare. best 3 mins of my day [so far] ty [ps - some eejits think he may even have been French] (3 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #49912: Well I liked it (3 years, 4 months ago)

LS94 @ #49905: The iron group doesn't really work as they all don't mean iron at all really do they? (3 years, 4 months ago)

Hamburger @ #49886: Thankyou for the positive feedback, cheers. (3 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #49886: Excellent grid, 10s all round Different, fun and well thought out Easy when you spot the plot, hard if you don't... Thanks for posting :-) (3 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #49907: Very good, nice and easy, but I failed on the Bob line :-( Thanks for posting (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ragman @ #49905: Ore does not mean iron.... (3 years, 4 months ago)

Roy @ #49896: ridiculous (3 years, 4 months ago)

Roy @ #49902: (3 years, 4 months ago)

Roy @ #49904: my knowledge of North Carolina school mascots is very sketchy (3 years, 4 months ago)

Roberta @ #49880: Dorchester isn't a city either. At least it's a significant town, but it's not a city. With "Hermonie" and "Pocahontus" I actually thought for a few seconds that one group might be "misspellings"... (3 years, 4 months ago)

Roberta @ #49894: Something on the "Sham" group stops it accepting an answer or moving on to the next group. Have you put a non-standard character in your answer or something? Also: "Forgery" doesn't work as a clue. (3 years, 4 months ago)

winxvictor @ #49904: wow the school mascots and the loop/tide one are very specific (3 years, 4 months ago)

david A garcia @ #49883: Excellent use of crossovers! (3 years, 4 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #49709: Excellent grid! Saw one group immediately. The others took a little time but I was able to get it. Thanks. (3 years, 4 months ago)

DH @ #49896: Excellent... and evil (3 years, 4 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #49886: Nice grid, love the wordplay. Thanks! (3 years, 4 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #49884: Nice grid! Thanks for posting. (3 years, 4 months ago)

atropos @ #41724: Love the false group of the birds, took me a while to try the chess pieces cause I was so sure rook was a red herring there (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49860: stj I wonder who it is? (3 years, 4 months ago)

imposter @ #49782: very sus puzzle (3 years, 4 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #49886: P.s. This is one of my favourites for a while. Should be GOTW. (3 years, 4 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #49886: Be interesting to see how the names of marbles tally up across the water... I reckon a beach ball is what we call (used to call, back in the day!) a pearly and maybe bird cage is a maypole... Thought I'd post this here so not to spoil the other grid! Enjoy your work mate, TY (3 years, 4 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #49874: Beaut. 5* (3 years, 4 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #49885: Enjoyed that. Looked at the last group (painter, in) for a while until it clicked! Always interesting grids, TY (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #49876: Good grid, but Lanchester isn't a city, it's a village in county Durham. You're probably mixing it up with Lancaster. There are also a couple of typos you might want to correct - Pocahontas is spelled 'Pocahontas' not 'Pocahontus', and Hermione is spelled 'Hermione', not 'Hermonie'. The misspellings might make people think there are hidden words that necessitate the misspellings, when the groups are actually very straightforward. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Freeway @ #49886: more confetti - great fun when the cent drops wd ty (3 years, 4 months ago)

VCM @ #49880: Few errors in this. Lanchester is a village in Co Durham pop 4,000 (3 years, 4 months ago)

PillyBiper @ #49880: Could be good but Hermione and Pocahontas are spelled wrong (3 years, 4 months ago)

Al @ #49880: There is no such city as Lanchester it is Lancaster. (3 years, 4 months ago)

18Can @ #49868: Changed now! (3 years, 4 months ago)

chris @ #49709: Different and well constructed. (3 years, 4 months ago)

chris @ #49850: Excellent grid, no celebs or Harry Potter ! Quite easy but well constructed and entertaining (3 years, 4 months ago)

Angela @ #49854: Not bad (3 years, 4 months ago)

Verr @ #23204: Niche (3 years, 4 months ago)

LS94 @ #49868: Cooked bones are not toxic to dogs. The danger is that they splinter so can cause lacerations. I'd recommend changing that one. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ade @ #49814: Nice (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ade @ #49812: Nice one. Thank you (3 years, 4 months ago)

gappy @ #49709: Very clever. But unfortunately very easy also. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #49863: Crafty but manageable, with some nice bluffs. I enjoyed that one a lot. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #49855: Can swap Palace and Castle (Winchester Castle). Unless you tighten up the description of the Palace group. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #17775: Don't like the mix of words and people in one row - that's not a link (3 years, 4 months ago)

Freeway @ #49859: Confetti time ty (3 years, 4 months ago)

Freeway @ #49861: So good, a grid both very easy and yet so difficult. Had Pearl & - the cinema advertisers, surfed around my memory bank for the right answer.. Many ooh and ahh moments on the reveal [ plus some ??? which stank] So just 5 for me and a big 5* for you. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49860: Bit of a -pain, but I managed ty (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49850: Nice one (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ade @ #49791: John Lennon is the first one on the cover. George Harrison is last. Paul is the only one barefoot. If you want to know more about the Fab Four I recommend One, Two, Three, Four by Craig Brown (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ragman @ #49855: What's chess pie ? (3 years, 4 months ago)

UStralian @ #49849: Yeah, if you're gonna tag it as a UK grid, you at least need to allow the UK spelling. (3 years, 4 months ago)

UStralian @ #49850: A very well constructed, very easy grid. That's not as easy to do as it sounds. Well done. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Elizardbreth @ #46594: Wonderful grid! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Elizardbreth @ #46946: Think you got the rocks mixed up, buddy (3 years, 4 months ago)

Eva Rose @ #39823: cool! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Eva Rose @ #17624: (3 years, 4 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #49829: Centi is a metric prefix but NOT SI. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Terri @ #49849: I had colours as an answer and was marked as incorrect. Should allow for both spellings. Good puzzle tho! (3 years, 4 months ago)

david A garcia @ #44919: I have. And I think it works well! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Kuba @ #49820: Thanks. Nice groups (3 years, 4 months ago)

Kuba @ #49844: Thank you! It didn't actually accept 'former currency' for me, so something must have gone wrong there? I even refreshed to make sure I spelled it right. Idk if you can still change it. But good grid, with nice red herrings! I liked the countries group. Ty for making. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Katherine @ #49844: For "Cub" group - connection could also read as add a certain type of letter as well as defining it as being missing. Good wall, ty. (3 years, 4 months ago)

XCh @ #49845: Needs some additional matches for sure. The most obvious words didn't hit on A.J. or Barrett's categories. (3 years, 4 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #49791: Damn predictive text. (3 years, 4 months ago)

VCM @ #49830: Couple of fairly obscure Stews (3 years, 4 months ago)

bigz @ #49791: Adams is a real reach and the novel is WATERSHIP DOWN. (3 years, 4 months ago)

LS94 @ #49829: That phone group should be taken out. You can't have two completely unrelated things they can be. "Device or annoying song" Really? (3 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49828: Should be K = 5 not J. Baffled for a few seconds... (3 years, 4 months ago)

David @ #49787: Fun, thanks. Isn't an eruption a natural disaster, though, rather than a volcano? (3 years, 4 months ago)

David @ #49788: Fun grid, thanks, although I'd echo the comments below (and add that the Mars logo is the company name in red cursive letters edged in gold - what you mean is an astrological symbol). (3 years, 4 months ago)

Feza @ #36344: Good, but didn't like my spelling of 'organisation'. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Roy @ #49818: (3 years, 4 months ago)

Roy @ #49828: very good (3 years, 4 months ago)

gappy @ #49810: It's very nicely done, but I definitely prefer walls that a) have different approaches t groups, and b) don't require knowledge in only one sphere. (3 years, 4 months ago)

FraserMc @ #49777: Tricky - well done! I suspected what the groups were but struggled as was only familiar with Stones and Beatles (3 years, 4 months ago)

Penstemon Whippleanus @ #49797: Crichton? (3 years, 4 months ago)

FraserMc @ #49787: Very good (3 years, 4 months ago)

FraserMc @ #49775: Very good. Even after spotting 3 of the artists (The Beatles eluded me), it was difficult to group the songs (I only managed it on my second attempt!) (3 years, 4 months ago)

FraserMc @ #49774: I liked the two switched groups although not too difficult to spot (3 years, 4 months ago)

Roy @ #49820: (3 years, 4 months ago)

Golt @ #48831: Thoroughly enjoyed it! Slightly difficult if I'm entirely honest. (3 years, 4 months ago)

A @ #49781: dumb misdirect. 5 stars. (3 years, 4 months ago)

winxvictor @ #41885: one of the grids ever made (3 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #49821: Good. Although capitals should be enough for the descriptions ... how many capitals dont have a river? (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #49810: Brilliant! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #49821: The Male Marvel character first name group and the Kings of England group need a little work, to eliminate interchangeable answers. Maybe swap James for another name which isn't also the name of a King of England, as every single name in the Kings group is also the first name of a male Marvel character, which means there are at least five valid solutions to the grid, when there should only be one. (3 years, 4 months ago)

lockdown @ #49810: Well done! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Omegaman @ #49788: Yes the colours are just that or they could be snooker balls, or colours of Cluedo characters. I thought the arrow group is very contrived. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Elizardbreth @ #48780: @UStralian, i thought the same thing! Such a shame (3 years, 4 months ago)

dagoba @ #49797: You ought to include Mary Westmacott in your explanation of Agatha Miller. That was her pseudonym, the main name she wrote under was her married name, not a pseudonym. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Kuba @ #49788: Thanks for making! I'd always put the 'lowest common denominator' for any group. Olympic rings, sure, but they're also just colours. I think that's the main reason why some people marked it down. I really liked the 'zero' group :) (3 years, 4 months ago)

Kuba @ #49813: Thanks for making! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Kuba @ #49812: Thank you for making! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ggh @ #49738: How dare you waste my time with spurious nonsense like this grid. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49755: Eve group is kinda done to death, even with the red herring. (But that's really hard to avoid... I've done the dreadful group before too) (3 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49756: Simple but clean (3 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49757: That's ludicrously tough (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49756: Nice (3 years, 5 months ago)

macabaret @ #49628: By far one of my favourites in a long time. Very clever, even though I didn't know about the race and the dancer. (3 years, 5 months ago)

DH @ #49749: Cheers got 7/10 (3 years, 5 months ago)

T12 @ #49742: Is it me or is the grid broken? I can't answer the connection between Michigan U and the other parts of that group (3 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #49748: Hahah I got all four groups on the first guess, and I had no idea what the hell was going on. I thought the Cats group just sounded like names for cats. Good categories! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49736: Nice (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49747: Nice (3 years, 5 months ago)

Everett @ #47902: Cora, the American name is Australia. Other countries call it Oceania but this is an American board. (3 years, 5 months ago)

rjj @ #48108: Skate? Customary? Mozzarella? Issue? seriously? (3 years, 5 months ago)

asdf @ #48198: I think "Bud" and "Chap" can refer to anyone, not just men. Maybe chap is only men, but "Bud" can definitely be either, since it is just a shortening of "Buddy" (3 years, 5 months ago)

bloss @ #49736: cool grid! (3 years, 5 months ago)

kuba @ #49727: Nice! I prefer when a word is added that it is either just at the beginning or just at the end, not either/or. But maybe that's personal preference. Somehow I got the whole 'sam' group while thinking that the missing name was 'scotty' XD Thank you for making! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49741: A little naughty perhaps as there are also rabbits in the WITW-verse... and yes I'm kicking myself for not just trying the 4 obvious characters straight away (3 years, 5 months ago)

dagoba @ #49735: The answer needs to be just ' London Underground' if you're not going to signify 'and city' alongside Waterloo in your clue. (3 years, 5 months ago)

GavinJ @ #49735: Great grid. Possibly "Battle of 1815 and Manchester" (3 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49735: It'll be good when you've fixed Waterloo... this takes me back, I did an Abba Rebus picture round once. You could have done Alan Partridge :-) (3 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49726: Lots of crossovers is good! Even if gules is only nearly one ;-) Apt group was the weakest - maybe a microsoft products group to play off azure? Then you can have competent, consistent and excel. but I still give it a good score. Thanks for setting (3 years, 5 months ago)

XCh @ #49735: Nice, but Waterloo isn't the full name of an underground line, which is a bit out of place with the others (3 years, 5 months ago)

john @ #49735: It's the Bakerloo line.... (there is no Waterloo line) (3 years, 5 months ago)

barry womble @ #49735: Really brilliant. Absolutely 5 stars. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Roy @ #49735: (3 years, 5 months ago)

LMG050 @ #49732: @Ragman there you go, changed it just for you. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ragman @ #49732: Not what a gargoyle is..... (3 years, 5 months ago)

Burnsy @ #49731: The same word isn't used twice, it's S-LI-VER and S-IL-VER. (3 years, 5 months ago)

XCh @ #49726: I think ept, apt, and vert have a few too many prefixes each to make 3/4s of a group, as mentioned they all fit the IN group, which is perhaps a bit too much. Also unclear why Skua isn't Skuas to fit with the rest of the group. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Luke @ #49731: I'm not grid making expert myself but I think using the same word twice should be avoided. All good apart from that though :-) (3 years, 5 months ago)

Drew @ #49730: Nice (3 years, 5 months ago)

Luke @ #49712: Damn that was evil. I'm a person that knows their metal but with the crossovers I just couldn't get it then lost focus on the other groups. Nice grid! (3 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #49721: Only today I had to look up what "OG" referred to. (3 years, 5 months ago)

anon @ #49727: yosemite (3 years, 5 months ago)

Roy @ #49709: (3 years, 5 months ago)

Hamburger @ #49725: Very well done (3 years, 5 months ago)

dagoba @ #49721: Good fun, nice red herrings and group links, except the last group I had left to link. The link word could pretty much go in front of any word, and I wasn't aware of a couple of the phrases as particularly commonly used or well known. (3 years, 5 months ago)

dagoba @ #49726: Ok, but three items in one group could have fitted into another group, which is a bit mean, even if there was nothing in the other group that could be swapped. Technically it was still valid as a unique solution, but it took ages to work out those two groups (which were the most obvious ones to me). (3 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #49723: Not enough time to even listen to them in 3 minutes .... (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49703: I liked it (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49723: Could you please give it a longer time than 3 minutes? thanks (3 years, 5 months ago)

Gridlington @ #49628: Great grid thanks (3 years, 5 months ago)

Gridlington @ #49709: Very enjoyable. Not difficult but fun! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49709: Wonderfully original... for 30 seconds. maybe the hotel group a bit too stand out, but that's me (3 years, 5 months ago)

VCM @ #49711: Yes I did (3 years, 5 months ago)

Hamburger @ #49709: Nice grid. Something different, enjoyed. (3 years, 5 months ago)

kuba @ #49705: just as a tip, I'd always put the keywords in singular (e.g. accept 'period') to avoid problems - - it automatically accepts the plural anyways. And I'd accept American spelling as well as British. But some people might be more purists on that point :D Thanks for making! (3 years, 5 months ago)

VCM @ #49665: Good one. Just the right level of difficulty (3 years, 5 months ago)

VCM @ #49705: Yes it was easy. Nice introduction (3 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49698: Didn't work for me. The sprain group possibly has some overlap elsewhere which i couldn't see but otherwise it's just 3 non words, and the cold/ other temperatures thing just felt unsatisfying. It is nice to see something original tho. Maybe I'm just hot (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49696: Actually, I think you are right! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Observation @ #49696: @Jmelb, I think the "downmarker" has been at work,, I had to agree with @dagoba and could not see a way to remedy the grid to my liking, so I aborted it. I liked both of yours btw (3 years, 5 months ago)

Happygridder701 @ #49697: Is it not pidgin? (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49696: what's going on? (3 years, 5 months ago)

lockdown @ #49691: yes it is! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Observation @ #49696: Grid has been aborted - do not play (3 years, 5 months ago)

Observation @ #49696: @dagoba, quite right thank you (3 years, 5 months ago)

dagoba @ #49696: Good groups that all made sense. Fun grid to do, but Strangles doesn't work with the link description (it has an extra letter). I loved the chokes group, but your description of chokes isn't right - you're describing hearts (it makes no difference to the validity of the group,but I thought it an important difference). (3 years, 5 months ago)

Observation @ #49695: Yay confetti ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

Observation @ #49694: 7/10 thinking of port ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

Observation @ #49691: Reading the comment was a lifesaver, do not think I would have solved it otherwise. ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

Dogma @ #49682: Great fun. Love all the groups, and liked the overall theme. I'm not sure how xylitol fits into its group though. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Rick B @ #49682: When I see a camelring thing I shall now say eebyeshoe. Lovely wordplay. (3 years, 5 months ago)

lockdown @ #49691: * has an Australian slant (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ellie @ #49667: I went up a few blind alleys and cul-de-sacs but eventually I got back on track and found the correct way home. 10/10. Great work! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ehrenbruder Kylo @ #48454: schlechte diese (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ehrenbruder Kylo @ #49656: Ehrengrid (3 years, 5 months ago)

Seedy Em @ #49678: Really enjoyed this grid. A little annoyed that I didn't get the point for saying that Steven et al. are 'The Crystal Gems' so maybe add that as a correct option? Overall really good. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Checker @ #44958: This doesn't really work. Boxing (in the hidden animals group) and Bowls (in the sports group) can be exchanged, since Boxing is a sport as well and Bowls contains an Owl. (3 years, 5 months ago)

bigz @ #49661: Parts of anatomy, not physiology. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Paul @ #49670: Hahah the police are here. A few questionable words, but simple and fun. (3 years, 5 months ago)

JMT @ #49671: Well said observation. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Everett @ #38700: I said 4th of July as well, DeeR. (3 years, 5 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #49674: Lovely grid, Chris group is great. 5* (3 years, 5 months ago)

Lucy b @ #49546: Fun! Thank you (3 years, 5 months ago)

David @ #49665: Double red, double bluff. Nice. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Dogma @ #49671: Fairly enjoyable. I saw what all the groups were quite quickly, and sorted it in about two minutes. There were some fun red herrings, but I found that the groups having a mixture of (sort of) synonyms and words that go with the link, was a bit unsatisfying, especially when the link word had to be attached to another word to make it a synonym of the clue. (3 years, 5 months ago)

VCM @ #49659: Never heard of donkey stone? Not from north then. Good grid. Maybe a little easy (me being able to complete it!) (3 years, 5 months ago)

Rick B @ #49671: Well I thought it was fairly easy and good fun. Confetti, but DNK the slang, so TY for the lesson. (3 years, 5 months ago)

LS94 @ #49674: Great grid! I read the albums one as 100,000 so that completely threw me off for about 30 seconds. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Rick B @ #49667: Caught by the Cts. Answer to the He.ed line needs a minor tweak. Even a crossing on the street to lead us astray. Brilliant again. Ty. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Rick B @ #49664: Sent me completely up the wrong stream, but it was a fun mystery tour. Did you know Jack Hampshire was a cricketer? (3 years, 5 months ago)

OBVINCKENOBI @ #49673: Excellent. A few good red herrings. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Observation @ #49674: good red herrings, led me timed out. Is Panda still out there? (3 years, 5 months ago)

LS94 @ #49671: I think this one has crossed the threshold from being very hard to damn near needing to be a mind reader to have a clue. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Observation @ #49671: @Matty Mungbean - Sometimes it is better to remain silent and risk looking foolish[ignorant] than to spout forth and remove all doubt (3 years, 5 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #49671: Frankning not Frank then ?????? Frankfurter not Frank ????????, never heard a small curtsey be called a bob either (3 years, 5 months ago)

St John @ #49669: good (3 years, 5 months ago)

dgms @ #49667: Nice. I nearly gave up twice, but managed it by 50 seconds with 2 lives left. Had to stare at the ju.ice group for about a minute to get what was missing. (3 years, 5 months ago)

St John @ #49667: 4 refreshes and I rejected st and unction thinking I was still church obsessed. Good one J (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49661: Enjoyed that ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49666: Monstrance was the 'in', then it was all quick and easy. Very well put together though! ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49664: Just a bit of fun - hint, it helps if you are old! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Rick B @ #49661: Nice n easy. Lovely words. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Rick B @ #49659: My gran says "Never heard of it, exactly how old is this Obs fellow?" , but she did appreciate the confetti. Ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ellie @ #49658: Not sure I like Blue's, as all the others are blue.....bit inconsistent. Otherwise good fun.....the rivers group drove me bonkers! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Essjay @ #49642: really enjoyed that - thank you (3 years, 5 months ago)

Essjay @ #49653: very enjoyable - thank you! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Essjay @ #49628: lovely - really enjoyed (3 years, 5 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #49653: Loved it! Ty for posting. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #49658: Really good herrings, got German rivers but couldn't get it right in time! (3 years, 5 months ago)

JonBob @ #49653: Not difficult, but fun. Only a couple things preventing a 5 from me: - As David says, it should be "Spin" rather than "Spinning" to fit the group. - I know you need "Victor" for the red herring, but it's a problem because it's inconsistent with the rest in the group which are surnames. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Happygridder701 @ #35403: I put footballers which whilst not as specific is still technically correct (3 years, 5 months ago)

david A garcia @ #49653: Use of the gerund form of "spin" was unnecessary and inconsistent. (3 years, 5 months ago)

quodlibet @ #49638: Who the heck is William Nelson? (The singer's first name is Willie.) (3 years, 5 months ago)

Clue_Sure @ #49640: Well, according to wikipedia, there are many shades of magenta, including "shocking pink" and "steel pink". (3 years, 5 months ago)

HL94 @ #49638: South African presidents...... Really!? (3 years, 5 months ago)

David @ #49629: Still groaning at the inclusion of Swiss Toni. Excellent. (3 years, 5 months ago)

David @ #49628: Excellent grid, great fun, thanks. (3 years, 5 months ago)

HL94 @ #49640: Magenta is a shade of purple, not pink. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ade @ #49636: I liked it too, both editions! I’m guessing “whole” was a slip of the finger, but then again maybe not …. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49645: Thanks chaps! The words just seem to come to me. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49648: I was just sticking my nose in where it wasn't wanted : ( (3 years, 5 months ago)

St John @ #49645: Have to agree with Rick B, I was massively impressed that all the words WERE words in their own right, that must have taken quite a bit of time and thought to compile 6* (3 years, 5 months ago)

Rick B @ #49648: Confetti, but only just in time. Crossovers were great. Only got the Cyrano line after the reveal. I love the idea of putting TT & MF in the same grid. 5* Ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

Rick B @ #49645: I can't find enough stars for this, really enjoyed it. Once the the theme is understood, its fairly easy. I don't know (and don't want to) how difficult it would be without a theme. The pig and the elf are inspired. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Rick B @ #49643: Big fat zero. I got 3 of the gs and 3 of the Js but my eye kept slipping straight past D. D'oh. The others would have appealed to another me. Ty. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Referee @ #49642: Solved the wall but didn't the the Qland is. Ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

jeudefollie @ #45055: Very enjoyable, took me a while to notice the palindromes! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Observation @ #49642: Very good cross overs WD (3 years, 5 months ago)

jeudefollie @ #41391: The "place-time-note-credit" could just as well have been "take ____". Still, I enjoyed it. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Observation @ #49636: @ Colin Hicks, Dagoba and Ostritch, criticisms duly noted - new and improved version available for others. Rick B, you are just a philistine, not appreciating "quality" British comedy :-) and Jmelb - bless you forgiving heart. There are good people out there. Brits - enjoy "freedom day" whole you can (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49641: Loved the Jeff and Tom lines (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49639: Liked the dopey line - and did not know that about Hairy! (3 years, 5 months ago)

bloss @ #49628: fun! Love the theme. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Drew @ #49641: Outstanding (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ostrich @ #49636: Myrtle and willow are both types of tree and since I had no idea how the other two fit into that category, I simply guessed "tree" as the link- and I got it. I don't know why, seeing as the actual connection had nothing to do with trees :) That particular group in general seems a bit of a stretch to me... (3 years, 5 months ago)

Rick B @ #49628: And here's me only playing because of insomnia! Even confetti doesn't help. Lovely easy grid ty. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ostrich @ #49330: I misspelled liqueur but I'm taking the point :D The one about female animals is hard and I didn't get it but respect for coming up with that, it's a cool one. Overall this was one of my poorest performances on any puzzle (4/10) but I think it was one of my favorites of yours :) Good job! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Rick B @ #49636: I also liked it until I saw the hi group. You get no thanks for reminding me of its existence. Humph. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Rick B @ #49625: Got me too. I got the guide dog, but was blind to the rest. As always putting my orb in the wrong place. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Rick B @ #49624: Only 2 for me, because it didn't accept many h---s or mum. Otherwise same comment as stj. Ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

Haha @ #44136: Eh lol (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49636: Well I liked it (3 years, 5 months ago)

S @ #49433: I wouldn't have gotten that puzzlemaker one if I hadn't just done one by WVPuzzler. I didn't recognize any other names XD (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ellie @ #49629: I do believe it is Swiss Toni, with a 'I'......other than that this grid was definitely "like making love to a beautiful woman" ;) (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ellie @ #49628: Awesome grid and a bonus set to round them all up. I'm off to bed..... (3 years, 5 months ago)

Dagoba @ #49636: Whispering isn't a synonym of moaning, crying or weeping. I could argue the others aren't exact synonyms either, but I'd let them pass, if it weren't for the one that really doesn't fit. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Colin Hicks @ #49636: I don't like the synonyms group. It requires one leap too many, and it assumes that minor Harry Potter characters are a far greater part of common knowledge than they actually are. Sorry. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Observation @ #49633: nice (3 years, 5 months ago)

david A garcia @ #49633: I'm guessing that English is not your first language so good on you! But billionaires should be accepted. (3 years, 5 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #49628: Bigz, I've added in the explanations. TY And St John, thanks, as ever! (3 years, 5 months ago)

St John @ #49499: nice little twists ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49499: Enjoyed this (3 years, 5 months ago)

dgms @ #49598: Daphne is the only one in the Dryad group that's a dryad. Metis was a Titan, Doris was the name of a few sea nymphs (oceanids) and Electra was the name of a few mortal women, and some sea nymphs. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Feza @ #23309: Nice one, thanks. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Feza @ #1161: Very challenging, but satisfying. Thanks. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Cockles @ #49604: All fair points. Hope you like the new grid more! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Timmon @ #49607: very easy, even though Peels is spelt incorrectly (3 years, 5 months ago)

Feza @ #45110: I got 10/10 by using the work 'synonym' for the group eric is referring to. I agree that the answer to one of the groups should be corrected to replace "followed by" with "preceded by". (3 years, 5 months ago)

Feza @ #30477: Thank you! I loved the cryptic clues! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Feza @ #47629: Got none of the groups, but all the connections! (3 years, 5 months ago)

JAdas @ #39823: good stuff my dude, took me a while (3 years, 5 months ago)

JAdas @ #35374: Very good (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ellie @ #49616: Nice idea. Not so sure about the P group though (3 years, 5 months ago)

dgms @ #49613: Good ideas, but half and third can be directly swapped over between their two groups, making more than one valid solution. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Anne @ #49607: The 'peels' red herring doesn't work as with that spelling it should be in the other group. A bell peals. (3 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #49602: Very nice! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jean Charles du Chauvignon @ #49606: Lost track of time! Nice grid jmelb (3 years, 5 months ago)

quodlibet @ #49606: I went through the entire Greek alphabet before I caught the last one! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49607: Yup... the overlap doesn't work because of the mis spelling (3 years, 5 months ago)

Mark @ #49606: Good one, but pho isn't a Greek letter - it's phi. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Roberta @ #49566: @bigz Tin, I guess? (3 years, 5 months ago)

Roberta @ #49604: This one isn't quite getting there for me. The group with the colours would have been a stronger connection if it had all been the same colour. Also, not a unique solution: Line could swap with Rain or Ice. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Dagoba @ #49610: Good grid.You might want to change gag for something else... (3 years, 5 months ago)

Dogma @ #49607: Very nice and easy. Peels confused me though. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Dogma @ #49606: Really good and quite challenging, but doable without being a mind-reader, which is always nice. I found it very hard to sort two groups I was left with, but managed well within the time. Nearly gave up on trying to identify the A.rise group link, which was, my last one to get, but by ignoring a.rise, and just staring at two of the others, I found the link that connected all four. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Dogma @ #49605: @ grid checker. The 'misspelling' wasn't accidental, and doesn't invalidate the link, as the hidden words give the connection for the group, not the people. I'm sorry you might missed the massive of the misspelt name that had to be misspelt for the hidden word to fit.The link for the 'Taylor' group is 'Surnames that denote a profession', and 'Taylor' is one, it means 'tailor' and is derived from the same French word as 'tailor'. @St John, no I've not edited anything. I don't unless there's an actual mistake. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Roberta @ #49607: A 23-second solve for me. Doc Filth is right though. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Henry @ #49560: Good grid, well balanced (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49609: Nice (3 years, 5 months ago)

lockdown @ #49602: ah, he is quite exploded ; ) (3 years, 5 months ago)

Sarah @ #49608: Loved it (3 years, 5 months ago)

St John @ #49604: Just too many men for me [I counted 10] otherwise not bad. ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

St John @ #49605: From previous comments, I assume you have edited. I thought the grid was fine and the occassional misspelling only gives others an extra game to play ty [ps yes I know there is a spelling error here [peels of laughter]] (3 years, 5 months ago)

St John @ #49606: Very good, fiendish, I was chuffed to get the E.dna line. My classics education is sorely lacking.. Careful you are not hoisted by your own P.ard .. ;-) (3 years, 5 months ago)

St John @ #49602: and I thought Bunbury was from "the importance of being Earnest" nice and ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #49607: "Peals" in that context is spelt with an A. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49607: Unusually straightforward for you - but good TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #49605: Valerie Singleton is spelt with an E, not an A. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ade @ #49590: No cabbages for me! Thanks for the memories…… (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49606: thanks (3 years, 5 months ago)

Wasp71 @ #49606: Nice, but I think there's a letter missing in one of the clues (Ma.e) (3 years, 5 months ago)

grid checker @ #49605: The occupation is tailor And spelling is Valerie (3 years, 5 months ago)

Dagoba @ #49605: Ok. All the groups are a bit samey, and the hidden rude names that don't form a group aren't as clever as you think. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Feza @ #38540: Enjoyed it very much, thanks, but it didn't accept 'element atomic number'. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49532: Nice (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49596: Nice (3 years, 5 months ago)

Rick B @ #49590: Confetti, but I'm not sure how when I put Blue Peter instead of CJ. Those of us old enough to remember, can't. (3 years, 5 months ago)

bigz @ #49566: What metal is clandestinely hidden in clandestine? Land? Andes??? Destin????? (3 years, 5 months ago)

Goyboy @ #49596: There are three highbrow categories that I didn't get but feel like, fair enough, they just happen to be outside my particular sphere of knowledge. It's the fourth group I really don't like, it feels too arbitrary. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Dagoba @ #49596: Good - quite sneaky, but doable. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #49594: I don't care if that was a bit niche, it was *my* niche :D. (3 years, 5 months ago)

dgms @ #49568: Fun, but a bit easy.Change 'In Flanders' and 'ling distance' for other things and it would be a medium, rather than a very easy. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #49590: One Crackerjack group is fine. Two? Not so good. (3 years, 5 months ago)

OC @ #49565: Having studied English literature for 9 years, I can confirm it is pronounced 'ant' (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jack @ #49553: Difficult but good TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

Loin El Richie @ #49546: I would call that an official charge. An official payment is what I call my GIRO. (3 years, 5 months ago)

O @ #49565: Aren't not aunt!!! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Hip @ #49552: Well done! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Happygridder701 @ #22570: Something named after someone is eponymous, should be allowed as an answer for Ford group. Good grid though. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Dagoba @ #49557: @david A garcia - the answer isn't very well worded, but Africa does fit, because South Africa is a country. The explanation of the answer is pretty clunky though. (3 years, 5 months ago)

david A garcia @ #49557: "Africa" is not nor has it ever been a country. Doesn't fit. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Roberta @ #49565: I don't pronounce "aunt" that way... and I'm not even posh. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Roberta @ #49562: Not sure I like it, even though I solved it. The difficulty of creating a numbers grid with a unique solution strikes again: 13 could swap with 4, 9 or 666... and probably 17 as well. (3 years, 5 months ago)

VCM @ #49486: Yes and I was correct in my spelling (3 years, 5 months ago)

VCM @ #49499: good one. maybe not! (3 years, 5 months ago)

VCM @ #49546: Good one. No forgiveness required. Cunningly intertwined. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Timmon @ #49503: Good grid, Helped I knew my WG's & Nymphs (3 years, 5 months ago)

Roberta @ #49554: A perfectly good grid you could put on Only Connect with only minor tweaking. I don't see why has this got a low rating. There are worse grids than this which get 4 stars. (3 years, 5 months ago)

bilbo @ #49552: rubbish (3 years, 5 months ago)

Joe @ #49546: Liked it! Thanks. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Till E @ #49556: Well I enjoyed it (3 years, 5 months ago)

Till E @ #49552: I think it is, however will make a change to cover any foreign accents (3 years, 5 months ago)

Fran @ #49552: Sighin'? No. Not a homphone for Cyan. (3 years, 5 months ago)

DH @ #49546: Good Grid thx (3 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #49552: Very clever! (3 years, 5 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #49546: Excellent grid, thank you! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Bzingo @ #49546: Love it. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Bzingo @ #49531: Veddy naice! (3 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #49546: Loving all the Madonna reference lately. (Even though that was the category I just couldn't get!). Nice work. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Gridlington @ #49546: Nice one, Pookman! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Tom @ #47728: Too specialised for me (3 years, 5 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #49507: Absolutely lovely grid. 5* And yeah, got bamboozled by that group too! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Dagoba @ #49544: Slightly ludicrous and over tricksy in a smug way, but no worse than the umpteen 'anagrams of the England team players' middle names' ones we've had. (3 years, 5 months ago)

sigma @ #39584: Need to add something like "Things that aren't true" for the one category. (3 years, 5 months ago)

dgms @ #49544: Nice and easy, but not very interesting. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Joe @ #49544: Not good. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Joe @ #49523: Not unique... Monkey Business and Go west can be swapped. Grid needs to be unique (3 years, 5 months ago)

Tim @ #49540: I guess they're all considered as iconic guitarists. Clever grid but a bit easy once you've got one group figured out. (3 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #49514: some of these clues are stretching credibility..... (3 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #49522: Agreed - highly likely that those are all first names of people called Smith. Also, for people outside the UK, that is just 8 TV shows. (3 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #49519: I feel grids like this could have many different solutions based on connections that are more obvious than the ones provided. (3 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #49540: THe link is guitarists (3 years, 5 months ago)

Joe @ #49540: Whats the link for the Eric/Stevie/Jimmy/Eddie line apart from all being first names of musicians. (you could put in almost any first name into that list) (3 years, 5 months ago)

LeCorbeau @ #49122: I even happened to be listening to Portishead while completing this. Very nice grid! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Murph @ #49519: To me, there were 2 obvious ideas to start with. Left with 2 groups, some inspiration would be needed. Two of the last 2 groups might jump out. Having an idea to look at something related to them would give a group too. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Roberta @ #36669: Good grid. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Will @ #2748: Fantastic grid! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Dan @ #49535: Is Hook a Tom Hanks film?? (3 years, 5 months ago)

Roberta @ #49535: Not a unique solution; Bond Street and and/or Angel Islington could swap with Leicester Square or King's Cross. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Luke @ #49535: The first group is the first word to fleetwood mac hits. I did put that on the page but for some reason it's not loading in! (3 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #49523: The frustration of knowing what the connections should be but solving zero lines. Great work. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49534: Excellent anagrams. (3 years, 5 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #49533: Nice and easy, thanks for posting! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Scoobydont @ #49505: Well constructed (3 years, 5 months ago)

david A garcia @ #49530: In what universe does "Greece" rhyme with "cheese"? And that's just the tip of the iceberg. My constructive criticism would be: DELETE IT. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jon @ #49529: Sea, and pets did not accept (3 years, 5 months ago)

PG @ #49505: Grid of the day (3 years, 5 months ago)

MLS @ #42291: Very creative, loved this grid. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Roberta @ #49482: Damn, that's a good assessment by bigz. I don't think I can improve on that. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Roberta @ #49516: Honestly, apart from Glutton (Physical would have been better) that was alright. Not really deserving of the low grade it's got. (3 years, 5 months ago)

RBR45 @ #49523: Great grid - lots of red herrings (3 years, 5 months ago)

Zoe Holland @ #49520: very good game. i like (3 years, 5 months ago)

HavingAGo @ #49499: Very nice, good fun (3 years, 5 months ago)

Freddgar @ #49509: Nice and easy Thanks for posting😀 (3 years, 5 months ago)

bumflapz @ #41816: INDEED. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Roberta @ #49520: The point is that there is only one way of putting answers into their four groups. Even with the given connections, that clearly isn't the case here. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Roberta @ #49522: That was three-quarters of the way to a really good grid, but the Winston group isn't solving a puzzle, that's having to read the question-setter's mind. (Also... typo on "Opionated"). (3 years, 5 months ago)

Oliver @ #49520: (3 years, 5 months ago)

Luke @ #39365: You spelt Dorrit wrong (3 years, 5 months ago)

Trillium @ #44185: Smiley Miley, you absolutely rock! (3 years, 5 months ago)

julia costigan @ #2091: quite (3 years, 5 months ago)

julia costigan @ #2107: Brush up your Shakespeare! Snout -not Stout (3 years, 5 months ago)

Henry @ #49507: Great grid. Very neat. (3 years, 5 months ago)

SemiFreddie @ #49509: I got 7/10. I thought, I suppose caterpillars are insects in a juvenile form... but are *earwigs* insects? Turns out, they are. (3 years, 5 months ago)

julia costigan @ #49476: are they? (3 years, 5 months ago)

julia costigan @ #49476: saucers are not flat (3 years, 5 months ago)

julia costigan @ #49476: a saucer,m'lud, is not flat (3 years, 5 months ago)

julia costigan @ #49481: we agree with Bigz> Bigz rules,right? (3 years, 5 months ago)

Observation @ #49498: very good, nice red herrings but my effort was more of a "wipe out". Educational to boot. TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

Dgms @ #49498: Good grid - some really frustrating red herrings, and I solved the grid more my chance than actual knowledge of each group. Tequila isn't purely an instrumental though. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Dgms @ #49507: I just managed to get 10. The Ni group had me foxed for a minute, as I've only heard of two (or maybe one, but the other seemed to ring a bell) of that group. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Till E @ #49514: Great, the 3:1 line beat me ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

Observation @ #49510: I got 6/10 and am feeling chuffed with myself. TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

Observation @ #49514: *Set by Observation* (3 years, 5 months ago)

Till E @ #49510: Nice ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

Lucy @ #49509: This would be a great gridz4kids (3 years, 5 months ago)

Observation @ #49491: @ Grey one, thank you for playing and your feedback.. Declan Rice was in the England football team that were finalists in the European Cup. I nearly did what you suggested but decided I needed more full names to balance the grid and to leave an easy clue for the other (3 years, 5 months ago)

Observation @ #49507: 7/10 went for Ag instead of Ni for the "back group. Took a while to see what was expected. wd ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

SemiFreddie @ #43196: @ drewiepoodle And dwarfs don't even exist. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Enzed @ #49498: Slightly dodgy with Tequila, not quite instrumental but a good grid non the less (3 years, 5 months ago)

SemiFreddie @ #49499: Sound. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Freddgar @ #49499: Very good, maybe allow illusionists ? Thanks for posting (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49490: Nice ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49495: Nice ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

PG @ #49499: Nice ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

Vic @ #43309: Strong herring game! Ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

MLS @ #49329: Love your puzzles, but nobody under 70 years old is getting this grid. (3 years, 5 months ago)

MLS @ #49436: Very creative and tricky. (3 years, 5 months ago)

PG @ #49498: Grid of the day (3 years, 5 months ago)

Em @ #49493: We did grid! Em x (3 years, 5 months ago)

Tom @ #44436: Enjoyable, clever and educational (3 years, 5 months ago)

david A garcia @ #22457: Nice mix and crossovers. Especially for Porcini-Man, the cavern-dwelling crime fighter. To the Porcini-Cave!! (3 years, 5 months ago)

david A garcia @ #37718: I can only hope that Cliff there is referring to his own failure. I thought it was excellent, especially the hidden words. (3 years, 5 months ago)

J @ #49486: I believe your answer *do is a typo. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Grey one @ #49491: I don't know who Declan Rice is, but maybe you should have just put "Declan" to create a red herring for the rice group for those who do? (3 years, 5 months ago)

Feza @ #7380: Nice grid! Solved all but didn't know the Darling group. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Feza @ #38270: Tough but fair, thanks. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Luskentyre @ #49493: Nice grid :-) (3 years, 5 months ago)

bigz @ #49489: Devious and well, well thought out. Nicely done. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49491: Nice n easy (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49476: Stj, it should have? Take your confetti! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Stephen Toyshop @ #49472: This is one of the best grids for a while. Loved all the groups. (3 years, 5 months ago)

St John @ #49490: good (3 years, 5 months ago)

St John @ #49481: Bit of fun (3 years, 5 months ago)

JerseySue @ #49471: Hard thank you! Could the 'wheel' group also be transport - of ye olde type? (3 years, 5 months ago)

St John @ #49476: Well I liked it, although one gripe, "round" was not accepted, thus denying me my shower of confetti 🤪 (3 years, 5 months ago)

Grey one @ #49474: Jenga may seem "traditional" to you youngsters but it's only about 40 years old... (3 years, 5 months ago)

Theo @ #49486: This was great! Please consider including the American name of the Peacock category. :) (3 years, 5 months ago)

Grey one @ #49481: Citizen Smith is a 70s sitcom and if Citizen Journalism is a recent coinage, I think *one* recent coinage in a group you can get from other clues is OK. My complaint is that the Osevenoaks group is... a bit rubbish. Not obscure (it's definitely not that), just rubbish. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49479: otherwise easy (3 years, 5 months ago)

tkn @ #22558: needs some more keywords for "couples" "duos" "pairs". Otherwise good (3 years, 5 months ago)

Luskentyre @ #49472: Dr Martens are a brand of footwear. (3 years, 5 months ago)

VCM @ #49485: Things that come in two's Foot (feet) Contact (contact lenses) etc.. Excellent grid (3 years, 5 months ago)

bigz @ #49482: 3 of 4 groups are obtuse and the last one is marginal. (3 years, 5 months ago)

bigz @ #49481: Citizen Smith and Citizen Journalism. Neologistic terms. And, silver does not preced in the last group. It follows at the end of the words, albeit I have no idea who Nate Silver might be. Sounds like an attorney who advertises late at night on TV. (3 years, 5 months ago)

bigz @ #49479: I do not get where toptrumps and potless are actual words. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Lucy b @ #49266: Great grid thanks (3 years, 5 months ago)

bigz @ #49476: Relay race, spider, octopus, tick. 8 legs (3 years, 5 months ago)

bigz @ #49472: Doc Martin. Martens are tree dwelling vermin. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Trillium @ #46129: Impossible, for this puzzler! But creative! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Referee @ #49465: Well Brian, what's going on here? The Referee's given himself a red card and apologised to the player because either spelling is valid never mind the band. Sorry J. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Tom @ #32877: Agree with all comments but Pat’s (3 years, 5 months ago)

Feza @ #49471: Nice, but did not accept "sound like colour". (3 years, 5 months ago)

Lucy b @ #49355: Brilliant, more please (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49473: True! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49476: Relay race legs as in stages rather than actual body legs. Bit unclear I suppose : ( (3 years, 5 months ago)

Gridlington @ #49476: I'm normally a fan of yours Jmelb, but I wasn't so keen on this one. A relay race can have any even number of legs, and tables can range from 1 leg to many legs. Don't worry, I'll still be searching your grids out! 😄 (3 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #49477: You really need to work on your accepted answers. (3 years, 5 months ago)

JerseySue @ #49479: Love the style and nice and easy, thank you! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Josh25 @ #49459: The Gemini connection was really more about Astrology and Geminis being described as two-faced. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jane @ #49472: Got the groups all right but it didn’t accept one of the connections. I know this happens sometimes, but I think the system ought to be able to recognise that “Dr” means “doctor”! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Feza @ #1708: Excellent grid! But Aiden is correct about salesmen. (3 years, 5 months ago)

GG @ #49475: Like the others, the pit group eluded me... I couldn't see beyond flea BAG! (3 years, 5 months ago)

dgms @ #49473: Obscure way to spell pricier. (3 years, 5 months ago)

GG @ #49472: Really enjoyed this one. Funnily enough, the group I found by accident and couldn't define was the only one found by the author of the previous comment! Shows how different we all are! (3 years, 5 months ago)

dgms @ #49475: Great! Really enjoyed it. I nearly didn't get the 'pit' group - because I was convinced pipit was spelled with a double p. (3 years, 5 months ago)

dgms @ #49459: Quite good, but I thought Gemini was just twins - I've never seen it represented as two faces. I think Janus would have been a better fit for that group/definition. (3 years, 5 months ago)

dgms @ #49472: Excellent! Unlike Jane Hunter, I spotted the 'binaries' group straight away, but binaries was the last one I spotted for it. Then I got the 'octopus' group, took a while to find the next one(which I really liked), and only spotted the 'house' link in my last group, as I was filling out the links. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jane Hunter @ #49475: Did much better on this one! Got the 'pit' link for sand, flea, and arm, but missed pi! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jane Hunter @ #49472: Fiendish! The only link I could see for myself was the 'House' one. I'm no good at anything which resembles an anagram. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49473: Don't want to be too predictable haha ps thought .died might have been your opening?? (3 years, 5 months ago)

St John @ #49473: Why no Rye? I wonder why Bl.ing was my opening to the grid? No reply necessary or wanted TY J (3 years, 5 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #49471: Really good grid, not many red herrings but the links just tough enough (3 years, 5 months ago)

Theo @ #49436: I enjoyed that very much! Very clever. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49465: The band! Referees should know the rules before they appoint themselves (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ellie @ #49468: Nice to see Glen Campbell wandering the Highlands ;) (3 years, 5 months ago)

VegasUK @ #49445: Nice one, but step should be allowed (3 years, 5 months ago)

Feza @ #45365: Didn't get any group but 4/10 for connections. Tough, but fair. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49461: Nice TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49468: Nice TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49470: Nice TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

Referee @ #49465: Occam! (3 years, 5 months ago)

haywood @ #49445: "step" not accepted - best to add solutions in their shortest possible expression (i.e. step instead of steps) (3 years, 5 months ago)

Omegaman @ #49462: Glad that English answers were accepted so 10/10 for me and from me to you. Very good. (3 years, 5 months ago)

haywood @ #49462: only difficulty here is remembering my German, childlike easy otherwise. (3 years, 5 months ago)

PG @ #49462: Grid of the day (3 years, 5 months ago)

Tom @ #24997: As usual, clever a delight - your grids are always a treat - and this time I even got two right off. i’m giving myself two **s (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ragman @ #49466: French soup?????? (3 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49465: V Good - well done for getting an original species of herring in! Putting "insults" meant I missed the confetti but satisfying nonetheless (3 years, 5 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #49463: Ha. Tee was the one that had me running round in circles! Nice grid (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49465: Thanks Stj, many won't. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Till E @ #49466: I've been to Cook's cottage! Glad observation is working for you (3 years, 5 months ago)

St John @ #49465: Well I liked it (3 years, 5 months ago)

Observation @ #49465: Sat open mouthed for a minute, furrowed eyebrows for another minutes 45 secs then "meagre" lightbulb moment. Had to refresh to complete, so my confetti wasn't deserved. Love the way you vary your grids. BRAVA 6* (3 years, 5 months ago)

Lasagnaman @ #49446: Very good, thank you! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Freddgar @ #49461: Good one, I only got the Ruby line. I was clueless on the rest 🤔 Thanks for posting (3 years, 5 months ago)

Freddgar @ #49425: *Dimension*😯 (3 years, 5 months ago)

Freddgar @ #49425: Super, got all but the Mny line, knew what it was (put the wrong answer)😞 Love the vowel less rounds, adds another dimention. Thanks for posting, more please. (3 years, 5 months ago)

MRH @ #49425: I think when the site is up to 49,000+ grids, fair play to anyone who posts new grids. Thank you. It’s what keeps the site going. Variety is the spice of life and the different formats make it more interesting. If you see one and you don’t like it, move on; there are plenty of others to choose from. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49451: Well I Liked it (3 years, 5 months ago)

Cliff Richard @ #37718: crap (3 years, 5 months ago)

Cliff Richard @ #27054: Who or what is towie. Some obscure TV program for morons probably. Grids like these should be banned!!! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Omegaman @ #49445: I think step singular should be included as some of the clues are singular eg stair (3 years, 5 months ago)

Tom @ #34564: Agree with all the positives below (3 years, 5 months ago)

bigz @ #49312: Finland is watery. What was replaced? (3 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49425: Malcolm I made one of these with crossovers and people complained bout the flse group ;-) unfortunately couldn't find it last night. Youll have to search my-back catslogue yourself. I agree, lack of crossovers is a valid criticism ! But gimmicky grids are definitely popular, and not compulsory (3 years, 5 months ago)

Till E @ #49427: Tsk tsk, language! @Malcolm, I like your style! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Hypatia @ #49345: Great puzzle, should take "Africa" (3 years, 5 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #49436: You are correct, david, and I have made several edits including ensuring that 'sequence' no longer works. I think I've fixed everything now. Thanks for the feedback! (3 years, 5 months ago)

david A garcia @ #49436: Typing the actual elements of the progressive sequence should have worked. Typing the word "sequence" for each group should not have. (3 years, 5 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #49392: Nice grid! (3 years, 5 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #49436: The answer you enter is what you do to the clues; it's the same for all groups. Hope that helps :) (3 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #49428: Agree that those aren't synonyms. Perhaps different synonyms of another word, but not of each other. No way are stable and whole interchangable in any sentence. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Nikki @ #49436: I like the concept, but have no idea what to enter as the answer. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Mr Mayo @ #49437: Sick game bro (3 years, 5 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #49414: Tough grid, got nowhere with it, but once I saw the answers, I saw the cleverness behind it, thanks for posting! (3 years, 5 months ago)

George @ #49425: Let it rain down just like confetti!! Thanks. Brill!! Just great stuff here. (3 years, 5 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #49428: Nice grid, thank you, and Malcolm, the OED would like a word. (3 years, 5 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #49434: Took me two tries, but I got it, thanks for posting! (3 years, 5 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #49425: Nice grid, Got 6/10, was looking for Shw, and learned that rhyme was also used by Elvis! Thanks for posting, and AMEN! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Isherwood @ #49412: A fun change of pace. We'll done! (3 years, 5 months ago)

david A garcia @ #49433: Kudos for the "Alas, Babylon" reference. One of my favorite novels! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Gridlington @ #49429: Very good! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Gridlington @ #49428: Ooh, Malcolm, you're in a real bitchy mood tonight! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Gridlington @ #49425: Or maybe you could submit a grid of your own... (3 years, 5 months ago)

Gridlington @ #49425: Malcolm, some folks find that the crossovers and red herrings all get a bit "samey", time after time. I think it's great that new and varied formats are happening all the time. The original format gets tired and boring. If you don't like a grid, you don't have to complete it just so that you can bitch about it. Just move on and find one that you like. (3 years, 5 months ago)

PG @ #49414: Grid of the day (3 years, 5 months ago)

Loin El Richie @ #49423: Ah, the seven continent model. How colloquial. (3 years, 5 months ago)

F91W @ #49423: Jo, it was possible. Just! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Observation @ #49429: not bad at all, I appreciate a little humour with grids ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

Observation @ #49427: Thanks Malcolm, have to agree with you with the tennis/food line. I was not really happy with it myself. As for Percival, did not need to research, and one should never ask a lady her age. I'm as old as my gums and a little older than my teeth as my Gran would say (3 years, 5 months ago)

Malcolm @ #49428: Those aren't synonyms (3 years, 5 months ago)

Malcolm @ #49425: I really don't like these gimmicky ones at all - so much so that I completed it so I could make this comment. What's wrong with the original format? I'd rather folks spent their time coming up with groups that had lots of crossovers and red herrings than this sort of toot. Once you spot the vowels are missing (i.e. immediately) it's rather simple to do the groups, so not a medium IMO (3 years, 5 months ago)

Malcolm @ #49427: Quite good, the wheeze should be the plural form to fit with the rest of the category; The tennis group is fine without trying to stretch the connection to food, which didn't really work that well anyway; Lancelot was also not quite aligned with the others in that group, for me, being part of one word rather a word in its own right. Fair play for Percival, though - you must be nearly as old as me, unless you just did a search, of course. (3 years, 5 months ago)

St John @ #49425: thnks fr th cnftt. (3 years, 5 months ago)

david A garcia @ #26799: Preceded (3 years, 5 months ago)

Lasagnaman @ #49424: I didn't like that there were 2 number sets, and that Zero is included in the even numbers group. Zero isn't an even number. It doesn't divide by 2. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Clive @ #49418: Wrong OC round, methinks. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Clive @ #49408: I agree with Ross. Odd explanation for the Do group... did you not realise these are common names for notes outside that particular context? (3 years, 5 months ago)

Isherwood @ #49415: Fixed! Thanks for catching that! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Henry @ #49414: Great! (3 years, 5 months ago)

(3 years, 5 months ago)

David @ #49414: A good theme, thanks. I found the use of capitals confusing, though. (3 years, 5 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #47191: IBM is most certainly not defunct as a company, that's absurd. In 2004, IBM stopped making computers, selling that part of their business to Lenovo. This makes IBM, as far as manufacturing computers goes, defunct. (3 years, 5 months ago)

quodlibet @ #47191: IBM defunct? Is it too late to sell my stock? (3 years, 5 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #49407: 'Disparisvley' and 'Overberling' are not words. What about 'Comparison' and 'Hibernation'? (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #49407: Better if you allowed hignfy for us lazy ones! (3 years, 5 months ago)

PG @ #49404: Grid of the day (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ross @ #49408: 'Notes' and 'Words' should be accepted answers. (3 years, 5 months ago)

bigz @ #49395: Tough one. (3 years, 5 months ago)

dgms @ #49407: They're spelled Somerville and Keble. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49407: 2 ofthe keble group are misspelled. Apart from thst... ok (3 years, 5 months ago)

Eva @ #35374: Fye grid. 10/10 (3 years, 5 months ago)

Gridlington @ #49355: Great one, thanks! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Malcolm @ #49386: Should be scorched earth, not scorch; a gathering storm is not a type of storm, it is a storm that is developing. The game-based red herrings went completely over my head sadly, as I'm quite old. Decent effort, just need to tighten up on the details (3 years, 5 months ago)

quodlibet @ #49345: Tough! - but I got it, and I liked it. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Verr @ #47953: The noble gas thing...otherwise really nice. Red herrings v. good (3 years, 5 months ago)

Malcolm @ #49196: Too easy for medium and hated the hyphenated nonsense words (3 years, 5 months ago)

david A garcia @ #49347: not enough options for correct categories. "Comic book characters", "vocal techniques". (3 years, 5 months ago)

marin8 @ #49358: My first submission! (3 years, 5 months ago)

dgms @ #49346: Great grid - frustrating that I couldn't spot the connection in the final group I had left, as I'd not heard of poison and one other item in the group in that context. (3 years, 5 months ago)

JerseySue @ #49355: Superb - love these, please keep them coming. Thank you! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Hamburger @ #49357: pen lol (3 years, 5 months ago)

dgms @ #49354: Nice grid, with a couple of red herrings, but pretty easy (solved in 29 seconds) and didn't accept grapes for the group that was wine grape varieties. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #49351: Nice grid, red herrings, very fair (3 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49334: Didn't accept "sttns n mnply" :-) Also no red herrings, although people complained when I put them in one of these (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #49274: Another corker of a grid from St John! (3 years, 5 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #49334: Very good, I only got the board game group because I love that game, thanks! (3 years, 5 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #49328: You are correct, and the edit has been made, thanks. (3 years, 5 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #49329: But, Joe! How do you really feel? This grid was mainly a lark for TPiR fans, but I thought I would put there for everyone. To each his own I guess. (3 years, 5 months ago)

PG @ #49334: Grid of the day (3 years, 5 months ago)

Essjay @ #49334: Absolutely fantastic! Loved it! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Joshua @ #49330: "Otherwise good," Joe? If you've never heard of a rainbow bridge, that's your lookout, not the puzzle-setter's. It's the name of several major bridges around the world, and it also appears as a landmark in Norse mythology. This is an excellent puzzle. I only got two categories on the clock, but I got all the connections afterwards. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Joshua @ #49328: 10/10. (The padlocks category should accept the answer "lock.") Nice wall. The Ivy League red herring is a great touch! (3 years, 5 months ago)

JayDee @ #49309: Not giving a point to a correct answer because you're trying to shoehorn every set of clues into the same category is pretty bad. (3 years, 5 months ago)

St John @ #49334: There is no F in butter, there's no F in bread either😆 (3 years, 5 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #49322: Nice grid, I like the poll group (3 years, 5 months ago)

gappy @ #49299: I've realised a gap in this: if you type any word with an O in it for one of the groups you'll be given the point! I guess it makes up for the fact that you could easily add the wrong synonym for "bear" and be denied. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Steph @ #49270: Great quiz - though I put 'US remakes of UK shows' or something similar and it was marked incorrect, maybe that mistake is on me. I guess that's not really what Veep is, but it works for the others. Thanks for making this one! (3 years, 5 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #49266: Fair enough, changed it... (3 years, 5 months ago)

Joshua @ #48613: I only got 5/10, but this is a solid puzzle. The categories are tight and the generic words give plenty of red herring opportunities. The Ernest films are a nice touch. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Joshua @ #48663: Nice puzzle! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Joshua @ #49212: "Remain words after removing the U" is not a solid word connection; it's almost as weak as "W appears as the second letter," which I saw in another puzzle on this site yesterday. It's a cheap shot, asking the solver to look for abstract properties rather than a tangible category. A good "word" category has a connection BEYOND asking the solver to do something arbitrary with the words, like remove a certain letter. For instance, in the most recent series (16) of Only Connect, this group was on a wall: August, Sacrament, Helen, Dove. Add one letter to the end of each of these, and you get a U.S. state capital. That's a tangible category -- once you do something to the words, there's an actual connection. "Remove the U from these four random words to get four new random words" is just B.S.

Feza @ #17775: eurydice, what phonetic alphabet?? (3 years, 5 months ago)

Feza @ #566: J, yes, the spaces are misleading, but that is based on the way the Missing Vowels round in the game show Only Connect (on which puzzgrid was based) is conducted. You need to work out the words while ignoring the spaces in the clue. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Joshua @ #49214: "Each word has W as the second letter" is a lame connection. I figured this category to be a word problem, and I guessed "each contains another word" (twee[t], sweat[er], [a]ward, own[er]) -- which fits and was even accepted merely because I'd used the word "word" in my answer. Even with that, I felt surely I was grasping at straws. But a certain letter recurs in a certain position? That really is grasping at straws for puzzle setting! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Lux @ #49173: @ Maartjebabes: I'd actually agree that green isn't an ideal category in this instance, but it's more because I think the category with lots of red herrings has to reasonably obviously stick out as that category (so people can work out whether to use time bruteforcing it or not). Here, I think people have to figure out the meta-theme of the quiz first and then work backwards from the most distinctive features. In that sense, 'green' isn't ideal, because it's not as obvious as if your words were 'tree', 'lime', 'frog' etc. (3 years, 5 months ago)

dgms @ #22500: Only sorted one group in the time - the June Spencer group. I ought to have got the Pisces group as it was obvious to me once the grid was resolved. Hadn't a clue on the other two though, even once the grid was sorted for me. Very good, very tricky. (3 years, 5 months ago)

dgms @ #49180: I've just realised I made an idiot of myself. This grid is perfect and I solved it by accident. (3 years, 5 months ago)

dgms @ #49180: Nice grid, and some fun red herrings. Chip and Face could be directly swapped between groups though, so there's more than one valid solution. If Face were hidden in another word or phrase, like the other keywords in its group, that wouldn't be an issue. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49185: Yes thanks. Ironic that we are the open state-for a change! (3 years, 5 months ago)

dgms @ #49192: Enjoyable, but frustrating and annoying. Two really great groups, and some excellent/funny red herrings, but at least two items in the bezique and Xebeque groups were way too obscure - you must have used Wikipedia to find the most obscure things that fitted those categories. I could see what the two groups had to be, but there was no way anyone could know enough of them to sort the two groups without cheating. (3 years, 5 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #49174: Top grid, 5*, very enjoyable TY! (I'm gonna have to hold on a while to upload one of the grids I've made recently though! Great minds think alike...) (3 years, 5 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #49176: Nice (3 years, 5 months ago)

Joshua @ #48731: Well done! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Joshua @ #48746: I appreciate good red herrings, but this puzzle is total B.S. "Popular male names" is a pathetic category to puzzlers looking for meaningful connections. (Just how "popular" are they, anyway? I've never actually met anyone called Victor.) And all those names are also in the NATO alphabet, meaning that must be acceptable as their category too. So you've got two groups in the same category. That's not clever puzzle setting; it's just cheating. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Joshua @ #48747: Folks are correct to point out the "Pokemon professors" group is also simply "trees." One category's existence doesn't preclude another's, especially when the other category preexists and is thus better known. Trees are older than Pokemon, in case you didn't know. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Joshua @ #48760: Good, solid grid! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Tom @ #44867: Excellent, diverse and cultured (3 years, 5 months ago)

Joshua @ #48806: Jeroboam, Melchizedek, Methuselah, and Solomon are all characters in the Old Testament. That should be accepted as a category answer *as well as* the champagne bottle sizes, not *instead of*, since one category's existence doesn't preclude another's. And since the Bible predates champagne by, oh, a few millennia. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Lux @ #49166: I think that only 'lap' works as a synonym of lick. You can make one awkward word work, but not three, imo. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Igor @ #49135: I agree, Niven, or maybe you should have said gut, bun, or maybe bra. Great idea. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Joshua @ #49134: Nice puzzle. The Australian cities make a nice red herring, especially given the ship classes. I'd rank this wall a little harder than "hard," what with the *first* names of Maltese Falcon actors and the Australian navy ship classes, which are real stretches. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Joshua @ #49120: The "smith" category is ill conceived. Half of them are proper whole names, while the other half are professions. Willow Smith, Sam Smith, coppersmith, and locksmith -- how do those complete the category "___ Smith"? Answer: they don't. They complete two different categories, one "___ Smith" and the other "___smith." The other categories are at least fair, though "replace any one letter for an element" is, in my opinion, pretty weak. It's a bit too abstruse. A solid word connection is consistent, e.g. "replace the *first* letter for an element." (3 years, 5 months ago)

wild_bio @ #49141: W.C. Fields and "Jakes" as a term for toilet are very very obscure. (3 years, 5 months ago)

dgms @ #49159: Good - nice red herrings. At one point I was looking for obscure Hitchcock films. I don't really like it being all films, and having so many 'missing words& groups, it's a bit samey, though it was fun having to work out which ones did have missing words. (3 years, 5 months ago)

dgms @ #49164: Pretty good, but tricky to get started if only know one film appearance by that comedian/actor and that's the one put into a different group. Love the 'Big' group and the Ex Machina group, which is so obvious when I look properly.The Godzilla group is a bit of a stretch, though once I picked the correct four, two of them together made the connection massively clear ( but only because I know that particular date in history).

dgms @ #48271: Okay. The structure was okay but dull - no red herrings, nothing that could have been in another group. Loved the trick in the Calamity Jane group, the Lorelei group was fun, but too obscure, the pumpernickel group was fun but too obvious, and the Clarissa group was too clever. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Second, Bruce Lee was not actually *in* The Wrecking Crew. He choreographed its fight scenes but had no screen time. So it's simply incorrect to call it a "Bruce Lee film." (3 years, 5 months ago)

Adam Longstuff @ #49040: GOT ME FLEXI !! ! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #25757: Very easy, but it was unique. I liked it. (3 years, 6 months ago)

David @ #49058: 6,7,8,9 - You are right to feel ashamed of yourself. I suggest you go somewhere quiet and think about what you've done. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49058: Because of course you did. Have the point (3 years, 6 months ago)

koshatnik @ #49015: Excellent grid, thanks. Was also foiled by the Bays line (3 years, 6 months ago)

DH @ #49040: Got the cogs turning cheers (3 years, 6 months ago)

david A garcia @ #37865: just great! (3 years, 6 months ago)

CKJ @ #49047: Seems “___ meter” would be a fair answer, but no credit (3 years, 6 months ago)

Essjay @ #49040: really enjoyable. i went woefully but enjoyed trying! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #49058: Where you halved the numbers, I said double those in the clue to get the song titles, same difference so gave myself the point. Nice idea though. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49058: Forgoes even. This phone, I swear (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49058: [Begrudgingly forties Hexadecimal encodings after complaints] (3 years, 6 months ago)

PG @ #49033: Grid of the day (3 years, 6 months ago)

MehMeh @ #49053: Rose is not in the Euro 2021 squad (3 years, 6 months ago)

Sib @ #49052: Lime green is NOT a shade of yellow! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Andy @ #49047: This is da best puzzgrid everrr (3 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #49040: Great concept. Couldn't do it though, even tho I got the gist of what was happening. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Krista @ #48859: I had trouble because I never heard of Canuck ,nor the word demonyms. And I still can`t find a list of you slang demonyms on Google! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Krista @ #48911: Damn-I don`t follow football :-D (3 years, 6 months ago)

Krista @ #48937: Not too hard,but not so easy I didn`t have to think. Some red-herrings, maybe more needed at this level? (3 years, 6 months ago)

Cool_Hand_L @ #49019: Really enjoyed that. Kicked myself for not getting the Nicholson one. TY (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49029: I think "Blue screen" would be a fairer clue though (3 years, 6 months ago)

cora @ #48679: nice! (3 years, 6 months ago)

cora @ #48740: tks! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Cora @ #48816: so good! tks (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49040: Yeah maybe I should have thrown in a giveaway for that group theme... (3 years, 6 months ago)

David @ #49040: Very good. Could have had ten times longer and still wouldn't have got the Blade Runner connection. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Cat Stevens @ #49037: Gridchecker..... That is the whole point (3 years, 6 months ago)

gappy @ #49029: Hi dgms, thanks for playing. "Screen of death" is idiomatically what you see on a broken computer or similar. "Group of death" is a term in sports championships, especially football. The final matches of the Euros "group of death" were played last night, which gave me the idea for the whole wall. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Joe @ #49037: Not unique... so many could be swapped. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Gridchecker @ #49037: All could be up (3 years, 6 months ago)

Dogma @ #49036: I was well aware that 'capillory' was a misspelling/not a real word. The word itself is irrelevant - it's there purely there to hide the word I wanted in that group of four, and the misspelling works as an extra hint to what's going on with that group. I find it incomprehensible that i some people are making a big deal of it, when the fact that it's a misspelling makes the solution more obvious, rather than more obscure. Should all anagrams in the anagrams group have been real, correctly spelled, words too? (3 years, 6 months ago)

Roy @ #49033: (3 years, 6 months ago)

Roy @ #48936: (3 years, 6 months ago)

dgms @ #49029: I'll have to Google to find out how screen and group fit into their group (s). (3 years, 6 months ago)

Gridchecker @ #49036: capillary (3 years, 6 months ago)

Ragman @ #49036: It would help if capillory was a word... (3 years, 6 months ago)

dgms @ #49036: Not bad, nice groups,but a bit simplistic,no red herrings, nothing that could belong in more than one set. Looked impossible,at first, like a random jumble of words, but after getting one group, by guessing which ones must have something hidden, and which had to be anagrams, getting the others was really pretty easy. Working out the connections was more difficult. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #30574: Intriguing and accessible (3 years, 6 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #49018: Nice, thanks! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Jimdas @ #48052: Good one thanks (3 years, 6 months ago)

Jimdas @ #48057: Good one thanks (3 years, 6 months ago)

Jimdas @ #48060: insects! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Jimdas @ #48090: Tricksky (3 years, 6 months ago)

Sid @ #49021: Nice! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Jimdas @ #48303: would have gotten confetti, but synonyms didn't cut it for the shooting one. Thanks though, good one (3 years, 6 months ago)

Jimdas @ #48701: Great variety! Loved it. Confetti too. Told the misses if she can get it I will buy her a new car... The tension mounts as I wait... I can't see her getting the homophone group tbh.. that's what I am betting on anyway... (3 years, 6 months ago)

bbsgirl @ #49030: Pets?? Flovours?? (3 years, 6 months ago)

Joan B @ #49028: very nice (3 years, 6 months ago)

Calum @ #49015: Can’t believe I didn’t think of Revenge of the Cybermen!! I will be handing in my Whovian privileges ;( (3 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #48995: fun! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #49028: In the MJ group, you've got "Earth" instead of "song". You said it was the second word of the titles.... (3 years, 6 months ago)

Observation @ #49018: good (3 years, 6 months ago)

PG @ #49018: Grid of the day (3 years, 6 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #48995: Sorry Steph, I didn't mean for the Admiral to be a red herring, or squid, or whatever he is! I always saw him as red... (3 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #49018: Very good (3 years, 6 months ago)

Richard Feemington @ #49024: Lovely yet tricky quiz, I was really stumped by the hidden Rick and Morty characters! Overall very good 5 stars! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Referee @ #49010: For problematic read invalid. Seems d A g is the only one who doesn't understand red-herrings. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #18820: Intriguing and challenging, well done (3 years, 6 months ago)

Krista @ #48973: Just right. Good red herrings. (3 years, 6 months ago)

david A garcia @ #49010: I've read it. "Problematic" is a semantic term for extra challenging in regards to having even two or three clues that can cross over into other categories. It can be what makes a puzzle that is initially a "stand and stare" so satisfying when you eliminate certain combinations. The 16 clicks and you're done grids may have their fans. They're fun, too. But there's a reason that the hard and fiendish descriptions exist. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Steph @ #48995: I've always thought of Admiral Ackbar as having orange skin, I think you could make an argument for him fitting into either the orange or red category, which slightly spoils the quiz for me. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #3417: So good I accidentally stole one of its groups for another grid 6 years later (3 years, 6 months ago)

VCM @ #48860: Good Fun. get a life jonboy (3 years, 6 months ago)

bumbum @ #49018: Nooooobody beats me at puzzgrids because i am the wiiiiiiiiz very good grid, would recommend (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49019: Edited copy of.49017 (3 years, 6 months ago)

Dogma @ #49016: I considered that, but thought that was too many fore/for/four homophones,that I might get confused about where fore and for belonged and I really liked all four things in that group. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49017: Yeah fair enough. That's Wikipedia for you. I'll edit it when I have the time (3 years, 6 months ago)

Al @ #49010: David, there's a difference between a red herring and multiple correct solutions. Take a look at "One Correct Solution" on the About page. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Rekkedgecho @ #49017: Survivor don't fit in that category as they weren't a one hit wonder! What about 'Burning Heart', made #5 in the UK, plus loads of charting singles in the US. (3 years, 6 months ago)

david A garcia @ #49010: Can we please have an end to clueless people pointing out what a red herring is? WE KNOW there are "swappable items" That's where the challenge comes. Otherwise, it's just four clearly delineated lists. Fool Moron Imbecile Cretin See how obvious that is? (3 years, 6 months ago)

Aetees @ #49015: Very good (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49016: The helping group should have "Fore" in it.... (3 years, 6 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #48994: The green group is *way* too niche. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Dgms @ #49010: There are swappable items between two groups. Tie can also be part of a railroad/railway, and spike (and maybe also joint) can be a fastener. (3 years, 6 months ago)

neilb4god @ #48983: Some clever deceptions in this one, with the right answers tending to be simpler than one might initially assume (eg. vehicles, not presidents). Completely missed the counties one too; too busy looking for a Tom Sharpe link because of 'Wilt'. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #49015: Nice one, enjoyed it. I got all but then failed on the Bays line Groaned out loud at the reveal😩 Thanks for posting (3 years, 6 months ago)

UStralian @ #48780: Avengers? (3 years, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #30703: Real pleasure and you r right it was clever (3 years, 6 months ago)

Ellie @ #48991: Resistance is futile......and Bjorn of Borg made me lol (3 years, 6 months ago)

Ellie @ #48996: Missed out on the full 10 because I didn't spot the Jacko group.....despite thinking of Smooth for Criminal. Damn! A Thriller, nevertheless :) (3 years, 6 months ago)

Ellie @ #49002: Infuriating....but fun! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Dgms @ #49003: I don't understand two of these groups or the explanations of the links. (3 years, 6 months ago)

CKJ @ #48996: Tricky, but fair. I got 1 point for guessing the brand names category (3 years, 6 months ago)

PG @ #48967: Grid of the day (3 years, 6 months ago)

PG @ #49002: Grid of the day (3 years, 6 months ago)

rjj @ #48996: ZERO points for me even though two of the answers were part of the grid! (Mark and Black) (3 years, 6 months ago)

bbsgirl @ #49006: Check your answers - it wouldn't accept The Wire, or sailing boats, and you've misspelled Gormenghast. Nice easy grid apart from your errors. (3 years, 6 months ago)

rjj @ #48989: Thanks! I think I should get a point for "NEWS" for line 2. (Al Jazeera, Euronews, Sputnik and BBC.) (3 years, 6 months ago)

rjj @ #26004: very good! thank you! (3 years, 6 months ago)

rjj @ #38707: Carol Cleveland threw me. :) Thanks! (3 years, 6 months ago)

wahhh @ #48988: waaaaahhhhhh (3 years, 6 months ago)

Scumpy jack @ #48994: Good grid (3 years, 6 months ago)

Kazza K @ #48991: Desperately trying to find a Brookside connection with Damon and Jimmy... Nice Borg group :) (3 years, 6 months ago)

david A garcia @ #48989: Nice crossovers! News outlets/agencies should have worked. (3 years, 6 months ago)

David @ #48991: Good challenging grid, which I made no easier by speed-misreading an extra P into the middle of Palatine so spent ages trying to shoehorn the Star Wars Emperor into my answers. (3 years, 6 months ago)

David @ #48967: Excellent, thanks. French names: I live and learn. (3 years, 6 months ago)

David @ #48995: Fun grid, thanks. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Shakes Spears @ #48989: Love the pub landlord connection. Good to brush up on Qatari cities before next year's World Cup :) (3 years, 6 months ago)

Shakes Spears @ #48983: absolutely brilliant! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Observation @ #48974: fun (3 years, 6 months ago)

streets585 @ #48998: Maybe a little too straight forward? (3 years, 6 months ago)

dgms @ #48995: Pretty straightforward and fun. I got a bit confused as I was mixing up the Thing and the Beast, never heard of Q*bert,and didn't know whether original Oompah Loompahs meant the ones in the first film version, or their description in the original edition of the book, but managed to work it out. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Rekkedgecho @ #48998: Robin Hood???!!!! (3 years, 6 months ago)

dgms @ #48996: I'll have to Google why Water belongs in that group.. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Rekkedgecho @ #48994: Exactly what Fred said! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Fred Fish @ #48994: Your homophones are a bit out, Lahm is pronounced "Larm" and Khan is pronounced "Karn". (3 years, 6 months ago)

david A garcia @ #46188: The "-ville" group could also be a "fort" group. (3 years, 6 months ago)

david A garcia @ #37879: It serves as the basis for "civic" and "level" to be red herrings. I wish "moron" was a palindrome. (3 years, 6 months ago)

david A garcia @ #421: No, bear is not in the Chinese zodiac. "Hole" made me laugh out loud. I'm not an advocate of vulgarity for vulgarity's sake, but it's a part of language and shouldn't be excluded due to prudishness. (3 years, 6 months ago)

david A garcia @ #38679: I would argue that Christmas is the ONLY thing that Yuletide is synonymous with. In what other context would it ever be used? (3 years, 6 months ago)

dogma @ #48991: I was also tempted to use One instead of Locutus, but again, thought that too mean to use if people didn't have every episode of Voyager memorised. (3 years, 6 months ago)

dogma @ #48991: I actually thought that Captain Mainwaring and Animal Farm were far more tenuous than Notre Dame (I nearly had Milan, instead of Notre Dame, as that was where he was crowned King of Italy, but I reckoned that was far too obscure). Originally, Captain Mainwaring was going to be Marengo, but then I thought that was too many directly related to the historical figure, rather than just the name. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Fred Fish @ #48966: The numerical bands connections are not....connections? (3 years, 6 months ago)

seb @ #48993: (3 years, 6 months ago)

Fred Fish @ #48992: What's the point? (3 years, 6 months ago)

jhope @ #48714: SonJonath, why is it necessary to be rude? Yes, this was an easy grid, but there's nothing wrong with that - it's good to have variety in the level of difficulty on this site so that everyone can play at the level that suits them. Just rate it as easy and move on, no need to leave a snotty comment. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Joe @ #48990: Didn't like (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #48991: Me: Locutus and 7, in that's obvious Also me... now where does Björn fit? Agree Notre Dame was a bit tenuous, but a good grid nonetheless (3 years, 6 months ago)

dgms @ #48980: Grange Hill isn't on the Piccadilly Line, it's on the Central Line. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Fred Fish @ #48990: Struggled with the crossovers and missed the WTP one altogether. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Fred Fish @ #48991: Good all round grid. A couple of issues. Firstly, I think the Notre Dame link is a bit tenuous and secondly......you missed my favourite out by not including the wonderful Pat and Margaret :-) (3 years, 6 months ago)

UStralian @ #48984: There were no dragons in the Lord of the rings. Tolkien is the only correct link (3 years, 6 months ago)

Cajun @ #47959: the double letter category is really weak (3 years, 6 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #48983: Very angry with myself I didn't get the Shires. Great grid (3 years, 6 months ago)

Sigi blom @ #48454: Sprich deutsch du hurensohn (3 years, 6 months ago)

Brian Bronstein @ #32543: People at court is a better answer than people in a castle but was marked wrong (3 years, 6 months ago)

Cajun @ #48162: nice red herrings. Well done (3 years, 6 months ago)

Kev @ #48974: Who says that grids have to follow only one repetitious formula? (3 years, 6 months ago)

Cajun @ #48984: Affa doesn't fit in that category. (3 years, 6 months ago)

david A garcia @ #13419: Very good crossover work. Still amazed by the mouth-breathing whiners who don't know the definition or value of a red herring. Looking at you, Walton. (3 years, 6 months ago)

rjj @ #48865: Very good! I especially like the space stuff because I had no clue. :) (3 years, 6 months ago)

david A garcia @ #24987: Very good! Didn't mind the misspelling. The time I spent looking for other "shrimp" connections increased the challenge. (3 years, 6 months ago)

david A garcia @ #48984: Adding -ire to affa gives you one french word among three english. Acqu would be better. Also "Tolkien" should have been accepted as it's a central character in The Hobbit but not so much in LOTR. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Cat Stevens @ #37729: Too small to be any good. Impossible to see. Dont bother doing any more like this. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Ade @ #48958: That was fun. Thank you (3 years, 6 months ago)

Colin @ #48964: Great grid. I find this style of grid really fun, so thanks for making them. (3 years, 6 months ago)

quodlibet @ #30746: Nice! (3 years, 6 months ago)

fred@fish.com @ #48970: Sorry, took one look and decided not to have a go. Too parochial. (3 years, 6 months ago)

fred@fish.com @ #48972: Too vague on end - your first MPs could also be female (Jackie Smith), your siblings one I don't get....they've all got the same surname so MPs is also a connection? The other two are too obscure to be connections. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #48974: fred@fish.com: Agreed! I was looking for Gary Cooper, James Dean, James Mason, Noel Coward...😄 (3 years, 6 months ago)

david A garcia @ #45787: Thoughtful and well-done! (3 years, 6 months ago)

david A garcia @ #28646: Synonyms for "posterior". Not a prude. I just think you should assume players have a decent-sized vocabulary. (3 years, 6 months ago)

fred@fish.com @ #48973: Not sure if the fake "Green" connection was intended but it threw me off course for quite a while. (3 years, 6 months ago)

fred@fish.com @ #48974: How a grid should be. Four different connections, a couple of red herrings and solvable to someone without a higher degree in a specific subject. (3 years, 6 months ago)

fred@fish.com @ #48977: A Spanish grammatical connection......think we all found that rather easy....not. (3 years, 6 months ago)

JackSlack @ #48933: @LordBread: This seems to happy to some people on picture grids. @Ggh: How are they different to you? At least to me, they're pronounced identically. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Ellie @ #48973: Some nice diversions and I like that one of the answers was pot, which could have fit into one of the groups! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Ellie @ #48961: Boo, I didn't get my floaty e-confetti because, apparently, relative doesn't count for family member. Neat grid though, some nice red herrings (3 years, 6 months ago)

david A garcia @ #48961: "relative" should have worked (3 years, 6 months ago)

Kazza K @ #48967: Excellent grid!! (3 years, 6 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #48967: Loved it. Some serious processes of elimination and guesswork going on to solve it! Learnt a couple of new ones, TY 5* (3 years, 6 months ago)

Dgms @ #48971: Emma Woodhouse is in Emma, a novel by Jane Austen. She's not from Bronte novel. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Pete Armstrong @ #48971: Emma Woodhouse is Jane Austen, not Bronte sisters (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mostly70sTV @ #48964: Thank you for the correction. A transcription error. I will amend. We happen to like playing and highly rate grids with a theme structure. We will keep writing them. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #48964: It's Anthony Michael Hall, not Michael Anthony Hall. And I feel, as with a lot of of your grids, that four subsets within the same category isn't really doing the spirit of the Only Connect walls justice. This is more like doing a regular quiz, just within this format. (3 years, 6 months ago)

quodlibet @ #38032: Devious! (3 years, 6 months ago)

dgms @ #48957: Pretty obvious and easy, apart from a couple of decent red herrings, and one fairly obscure, over-specific group (the Adam group). Nicely put together though, and no swappable answers that would invalidate the grid - none that I noticed, anyway. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #48922: I'm just not as clued-up on my Toronto-based independent record shops as I should be. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Gary B @ #48926: Group 1: Fictional priests. Group 2: Fictional priests. Group 3: Fictional priests. Group 4: Fictional priests. This grid lacks variety. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Curious @ #48890: Good Observation, thanks. I have long thought that Puzzgrid should have an Enjoyment rating. Then I can mark down my enjoyment when there's sport, GoT, modern music etc., while still being happy to mark up the quality. 'Quality' covers different things to different people - that's maybe fine but your grid disappears from the main view if it's marked too low. (3 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #48933: thank you! (3 years, 6 months ago)

david A garcia @ #30691: Clever crossovers. MST3000 for the win! (3 years, 6 months ago)

david A garcia @ #45765: Read silently is also homophone (3 years, 6 months ago)

david A garcia @ #48686: That is, in fact, exactly what a red herring is supposed to do. (3 years, 6 months ago)

laurence @ #38010: There are more than five senses. A non-exhaustive list might include: smell, touch, taste, sight, hearing, proprioception, time, orientation. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Ellie @ #48921: Nice idea :) (3 years, 6 months ago)

HavingAGo @ #48925: Got the categories themselves fairly quickly but took me a while to puzzle out the individual connections - great stuff once again (3 years, 6 months ago)

Observation @ #48921: Cannot watch SL anymore, too, too disturbing especially the little girl. good quiz tho (3 years, 6 months ago)

HavingAGo @ #48927: Just couldn't figure out the connection in the category that "HMS __" falls in, excellent puzzle (3 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #48911: The football team nicknames are also just birds! (3 years, 6 months ago)

dgms @ #48532: Bridget Jones' diary isn't an epistolary novel, it's in the form of a diary. An epistolary novel is in the form of a series of letters. (3 years, 6 months ago)

pedant @ #48914: nice grid, good mix of groups. should be "Danka", not "Danke" (3 years, 6 months ago)

HavingAGo @ #401: Really excellent (3 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #48900: Nice one, like the bars line Thanks for posting (3 years, 6 months ago)

Aetees @ #48904: Very good (3 years, 6 months ago)

James @ #21280: absolutely clever red herring. the obvious answer makes the other groups obvious answers once you know the obvious answer isn't it (3 years, 6 months ago)

Observation @ #48890: @ Curious - the setter initially sets the "difficulty" rating, and if wise will play the grid first and select 5*. Subsequent players assess the grid subjectively and will apply marks according to their own preferences. It is not always easy to differentiate between quality [i.e. construction, subject matter and style of puzzle] and personal enjoyment. Plus you will always get mean spirited trolls who like to mark grids down. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Curious @ #48890: Why is this marked so low in quality? Is it being marked down twice for being so easy? It has a (correct) rating of 'Difficilty: Easy' - that's fine. Yes, it has 4 straight groups with no clever tricks - is that the reason? But many hard/er grids, with no red herrings or crossovers, are not marked down in this way. (3 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #48891: Best of the day! (3 years, 6 months ago)

dgms @ #20813: Solved it, but thought the Ocean trenches were islands/archipelagos, which, to be fair, would have been valid if Kuri-Kamchatka had been Kuril-Kamchatka. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #48884: I’m with Eric here. The other three may be acronymic but DIY is not, but all four are abbreviations so that is the more correct answer. (3 years, 6 months ago)

stjohn @ #48900: good fun (3 years, 6 months ago)

stjohn @ #48899: liked the lto line and red herrings, I no idea on two lines, so wd and ty (3 years, 6 months ago)

stjohn @ #48897: 😊 (3 years, 6 months ago)

John @ #48891: The Curator is is never really confirmed within the programme what or who he is, it could just be a another false name like the Doctor uses "John Smith" so is a bit of a messy choice to include here. (3 years, 6 months ago)

stjohn @ #48884: neat (3 years, 6 months ago)

David @ #48891: Very obscure Gallifreyan reference there. Excellent, thank you. (3 years, 6 months ago)

dgms @ #48895: I sorted the grid in under two minutes, but remembering the names of the linking programmes for the last two (Morwenna Banks group and Rebecca Front group) eluded me - had a punt on 'Smack the Pony' and 'Jam' but was wrong. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Sib @ #48884: Harsh! I said bear which was "incorrect" as it should have been bears - huh! (3 years, 6 months ago)

stjohn @ #48878: Constable line was excellent (3 years, 6 months ago)

eric @ #48884: how is abbreviations wrong for clue 4 - DIY is not an acronym, its an abbreviation, they are not the same thing. (3 years, 6 months ago)

MLS @ #37982: Super creative, haven't seen one like this. Really fun! (3 years, 6 months ago)

stjohn @ #48895: Not a prayer with this one (3 years, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #48881: I think you should accept 'Best picture', 'best album' etc. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #48880: Wanda Maximoff and the Scarlet Witch are the same person, and the last group is entirely subjective. Plus it's Maria Hill (not Hills). (3 years, 6 months ago)

JerseySue @ #48884: Thank you - I liked the crossovers. (3 years, 6 months ago)

bbsgirl @ #48880: Group links should be on known facts, not your opinion (no matter how much I agree with you). Answers should not be case sensitive either. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Jamesy @ #48880: Link answers are too precise to get right and the last group ‘underrated’ is too subjective to be guessable (3 years, 6 months ago)

stjohn @ #48863: one L it is Obs :-) (3 years, 6 months ago)

david A garcia @ #346: Nice crossovers! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Essjay @ #48825: really fun - thank you! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Wasp71 @ #48841: Really enjoyed this one. All categories being on the same subject matter actually made it a better grid, in my opinion. There's no right way and wrong way of doing these things (3 years, 6 months ago)

Cajun @ #48686: very nice red herrings. Nicely done (3 years, 6 months ago)

Cajun @ #48700: 11 should be acceptable and agree with CKJ... although I still got the gist (3 years, 6 months ago)

david A garcia @ #48865: Fun! Very clever crossover/red herrings. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Bridget @ #26145: Pulling taffy is how saltwater taffy is made and rent control is a set of local ordinances that stop landlords from arbitrarily inflating rents and forcing people out of their homes. Very google-able. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Bridget @ #22558: I put "half of a pair" for the famous duos clue and that wasn't enough to count correctly... maybe accept a few more keywords there. (3 years, 6 months ago)

jacob @ #30596: I hated this grid....it was so frustrating I spilled my tea and got it all over my brand new leather sofa...I request this grid is taken off of the world wide web due to its high risk of frustration and danger. The creators of this are bobbling rapscallions. I will be speaking to my lawyer about how we can sue these irresponsible brats and get them the ultimate punishment they deserve. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Cat Stevens @ #48857: Its Purdue not Perdue. Otherwise pretty average. (3 years, 6 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #48833: Love the man group (3 years, 6 months ago)

jonboy @ #48860: Nice grid. Quite easy. Suggest including “health” as a correct answer to the WHO group (3 years, 6 months ago)

JerseySue @ #48859: Thank you - a nice and easy start to the day. (3 years, 6 months ago)

dgms @ #48851: Good fun. I recognised all the groups as soon as I saw the grid, and was quite pleased with myself for not using any lives when sorting the Whizzpopper group from the Droog group, when I didn't recognise every single member of each. Very entertaining, but a little limited having every group being on the same theme.l (3 years, 6 months ago)

evangelos @ #21280: really nice! (3 years, 6 months ago)

David Garcia @ #48856: How about “biomes”? How about “environmental threats”? How about a sense of fun or desire to create an enjoyable experience? (3 years, 6 months ago)

DH @ #48770: great grid (3 years, 6 months ago)

Abi @ #48841: All types are good too - its your grid, do what you like - if others dont like it, they can choose another one. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Nikki @ #37847: I cursed out loud at this one before solving it. Nice. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Cajun @ #48839: nicely done (3 years, 6 months ago)

rjj @ #46897: Nice! I had to look up "Kabaddi" after I played. Nice to learn something new. I like the fact that the entire puzzle has one theme. :) (3 years, 6 months ago)

Lucy b @ #48825: Fab. Really enjoy your grids Thanks (3 years, 6 months ago)

rjj @ #21563: Good puzzle. I think I should get a point in Row 2 for guessing "author" as the link. (I'm guessing that "writer" gets a point.) I think I should get a point in Row 4 for guessing "Broadway" as the link. (I'm guessing that "musical" gets a point.) (3 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #48833: Nice one, solved the wall got 3 connections, failed on the man line 🤔 Thanks for posting (3 years, 6 months ago)

Sib @ #48831: Prime numbers?? (3 years, 6 months ago)

dgms @ #48838: @fred@fish.com. I'm lucky I'd never heard of floatify and loopify apps before I'd read your comment. I sorted the grid fairly quickly, but didn't get the connection for the group float and loop were in. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #48833: Glad you liked it! (3 years, 6 months ago)

PomPom @ #48731: Best one I played all day :) managed to get a 10/10 but only after i had the help of Dr.Google for the "cities in Georgia". (3 years, 6 months ago)

stjohn @ #48839: good ty (3 years, 6 months ago)

Aetees @ #48832: Excellent (3 years, 6 months ago)

fred@fish.com @ #48838: All of your "ify"s are also terms used in computer programming. You can ify to the end of loop and float (using the same logic as Spotify being allowed). Hence there are about a 1000 different answers to this grid..... (3 years, 6 months ago)

fred@fish.com @ #48841: Grids are better if the connections are from different areas of life. All being 70/80 sitcoms limits the appeal. (3 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #48833: Great! loved it. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Guy Tamir @ #8618: Tried "hieroglyphs" for the relevant connection, but it didn't register - probably because it's spelled "Heiroglyphs" in the description (3 years, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #5053: Clever (3 years, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #7138: Tried but I’m not as clever as Jed only got two (3 years, 6 months ago)

Malcolm @ #48561: Fraught (correct spelling) rather spoils that group and it's a shame you couldn't find another word ending with the ow sound and had to go with doughtiness. A nice idea, but didn't quite pull it off. (3 years, 6 months ago)

ER @ #391: Aristotle was not a scientist. Did you mean Archimedes? (3 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #48831: Bit too obscure for me. I guessed one group but got no further (3 years, 6 months ago)

koshatnik @ #48792: The Vesper group got me! Thanks for the great grid (3 years, 6 months ago)

Jo @ #48814: If you look back a bit, it has been done by several others. (3 years, 6 months ago)

dgms @ #48822: Made sense, no possible swaps between groups, and a few good red herrings, but the structure was a bit basic - two groups based on the same sort of general knowledge, and two groups based on the same kind of wordplay. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Cat Stevens @ #48820: Nice one!! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Ellie @ #48810: You really need to do better with your answers. I mean "golfing" but not "golf"? "Canines" but not "dogs". Loony, frankly ;) (3 years, 6 months ago)

bbsgirl @ #48818: What's the deal with your answers. I put exactly what you say the answer is and it was still marked incorrect. Also those are track events, not field events. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Glenys Knight @ #16584: Too specific to US. (3 years, 6 months ago)

VCM @ #48814: Sure is. Didn't get the chat show hosts but fun to do (3 years, 6 months ago)

HavingAGo @ #48814: Just trying something a little different for me with this one for a bit of fun, hopefully it's something approaching alright... (3 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #48722: Nice one. I like these cryptic ones (3 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #48794: Excellent! I love this sort of grid! It's a test of logic and reasoning rather than a test of whether you've watched Game of thrones, Harry Potter, etc. More cryptic ones like this please! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Cristobal @ #48790: One or two issues with this one. A regent is not a female title - it's anybody (male or female) who is standing in for the Monarch because they are ill, too young, etc. And those aren't homophones of food - they ARE the food. Homophoness would be current, pair, leak and bury. Still enjoyed it though... (3 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #48746: Cop out with the male names (all are also NATO words). And Life and Simon are not the names of games... (3 years, 6 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #48798: Tricky but brilliant. 5* (3 years, 6 months ago)

JohnK @ #48805: Clever grid! Enjoyed it (3 years, 6 months ago)

Dgms @ #48734: Having two groups of female figures from Greek myths is tricksy and smug, and the Greek letters, were bit obvious . I liked the Tourette's group though, the groups did make sense, with no possible swaps, and it was nice to find a grid that isn't basically a football and pop music quiz, which is just deadly boring. (3 years, 6 months ago)

david A garcia @ #48802: Diana Ross is misspelled. Vehicle is properly pronounced with an audible "h". See "vehicular". Sloppy, I'm afraid. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Feza @ #28660: Nice theme. I only got the connect of the last group by guessing 'sister' after knowing the connections of the other groups. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Feza @ #31518: Tough but fair except that it did not accept "... man's name". (3 years, 6 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #48782: Nice breadth of subjects (3 years, 6 months ago)

Zelmia @ #48752: When you spell things incorrectly -- like PITA bread -- it unfairly throws people off the correct groupings. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Julia @ #48772: cool (3 years, 6 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #48767: Fair point Lucy B, I've mixed the grid up more now. Hope you play it again and enjoy it a wee bit more! Thank you (3 years, 6 months ago)

bob @ #48741: crap! One out of ten. The worst grid I have ever played (3 years, 6 months ago)

Propane Man @ #14630: Five star quality just for the descriptions! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Henry @ #27475: Fun grid. Thank you. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Lucy b @ #48767: Very enjoyable, only quibble is the separation of authors by gender rather than by genre which is what I was searching for a link on. Think doing it by genders makes it a less groovy grid. But thank you I enjoyed trying (3 years, 6 months ago)

HavingAGo @ #48767: Really enjoyed this one (3 years, 6 months ago)

Lucy b @ #47523: Brilliant Great fun, love your grids Thanks (3 years, 6 months ago)

CKJ @ #48747: I have to agree with SonJonath. (3 years, 6 months ago)

SonJonath @ #48747: you can't have a group of trees and expect "Pokemon professor" to be the given answer. (3 years, 6 months ago)

SonJonath @ #48746: This would be really good if "popular male names" were not an incredibly broad, boring category that no one will guess and no one will enjoy guessing. Also the NATO alphabet spelling of Juliett has two T's (so that the French will pronounce it the same as everyone else), so "Juliet" doesn't match. (3 years, 6 months ago)

SonJonath @ #48731: for a very hard grid this was fantastic (3 years, 6 months ago)

SonJonath @ #48714: mediocre clever idea to have the four anagrams all be in one group so that a three year old could play along (3 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #48745: Mister Tom: Thank you. No, not read Soul Music. Should I? Joe: Yep, "read" and "red" are homophones, and to cry in pain is to yell "ow"!

Joe @ #48749: What utter rubbish. Born in Basingstoke and children of clergy!! Why create a grid with such stupid links that 99.9999999% of people won't get. Just trying to prove you're soooooo clever!! But you're not. (3 years, 6 months ago)

stjohn @ #48727: good one (3 years, 6 months ago)

Poohbear @ #48701: Should accept ‘article’ for the ‘the’ group (as it’s the correct term). Also really don’t understand the homophone group - it’s the same ‘ow’ sound in each word but they aren’t actually homophones (3 years, 6 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #48714: Very nice! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Dgms @ #48724: Good grid, but including Diana as a Greek god is an error that made it unsolvable as well as invalid. Diana is what the Romans called Artemis. (3 years, 6 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #48548: Nice grid, thank you! (3 years, 6 months ago)

rjj @ #48714: Board shorts! Learn something new every day. Thank you! (3 years, 6 months ago)

David @ #48717: An unsurprising zero, having not heard of the game on which this grid's based. Am sure it's great fun for those familiar with it. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #48716: Actually tbf " beginning with E' I understood (3 years, 6 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #48554: Great fun, TY. I've literally just compiled a similar sort of grid, complete with house numbers! No soaps though. Still, glad I played this first... I'll hold onto mine for a bit to avoid looking like a complete pirate! Great grid, as ever. 5* (3 years, 6 months ago)

Joseph Kelly @ #48624: Excellent grid, very flattered! Thanks! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Auditorious @ #48532: Very good. Extra star for W&G reference. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Auditorious @ #48598: Don't know why this has been marked down. Very good puzzle. TY (3 years, 6 months ago)

Auditorious @ #46413: Point of order: Seville & Valencia are both types of orange and both are also Spanish cities. Thus they ARE interchangeable and NOT red-herrings. There is no unique solution which is a necessity for a valid puzzle. (3 years, 6 months ago)

HavingAGo @ #48567: Cheers stjohn! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Nikki @ #46455: Please accept answers without periods. (3 years, 6 months ago)

llamaonsun @ #48597: **SPOILERS*** (The red herrings are: Exeter, Hertford, Lincoln, Pembroke (oxford colleges) - but this would leave 'Clare' ungroupable) Kings, Queens, Jack, Ace (also Club but not really) - Playing Card values/types - but this would also leave 'Clare' ungroupable). Pembroke, Exeter, Lincoln, Durham (Cathedral cities, would leave Hertford unpaired though unless you did oxford colleges, which would leave Clare ungroupable). (3 years, 6 months ago)

Vic @ #47730: Loved this one! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Obscurious @ #48536: Sorry LD, suitably chastened and will accept my punishment. On the bright side, I will now always picture Mr Picky as an Undead or one of the Auditors from Discworld. (3 years, 6 months ago)

lockdown @ #48536: Wouldn't brown shades imply a variety of hues though? Also, could cloth be singular and plural, or it would say military cloths? Seriously Obscurious - detention for you again, for resurrecting Mr Picky! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Jeremy @ #15859: @Ka. Not sure if you're joking because you're literally looking at one! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Jeremy @ #42675: @Not American. The Jerk was a dance move (there was a song, too) around 10 years ago. Maybe it was just an American thing ;) (3 years, 6 months ago)

JackSlack @ #48548: Nice. I’m a sucker for a good Beatles clue. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Obscurious @ #48589: Super grid. Ruby and Maria were easy enough, but beautiful & co could hit me on the nose and I'd be none the wiser. Always put my cinnabar in the wrong place. (3 years, 6 months ago)

wild_bio @ #48583: Consider changing to 'easy'. Took (3 years, 6 months ago)

Obscurious @ #48585: Very entertaining TY. Keep them coming. I got the non-humans easily enough (although my abbreviated answer w/o the verbal element was not allowed), but the others were really tough. The Librarian line raised a few chuckles. I missed the Simnel line (pun intended) by thinking of the son rather than the father. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Obscurious @ #48536: @Mr Picky - no need, I think LD covered it. Not intending to steal your thunder, but can't hair be both singular and plural? [Quickly digs fox hole and seeks cover...] (3 years, 6 months ago)

JerseySue @ #48580: Thank you - nice easy start to the day! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #48536: There is a mixture of singulars and plurals in some groups. Car starter, Brown shade, Military cloth and OAP hair should be in the plural. [Thanks, Obscurious, for remembering me although I have not answered to your point.] (3 years, 6 months ago)

Sean Riley @ #48563: Every other grid I've ever made. "Hmm. Seems about right! This should be fine. Medium difficulty." Later, your votes: "HARD." This time, "Oof. I have some weird tricky clues in this one. Hard." Votes down to Medium. I do not understand difficulty, clearly! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #48548: George is what links that group not Georges. Gave myself the point anyway but no confetti (3 years, 6 months ago)

lockdown @ #48537: No! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Obscurious @ #48536: Nice ty. It was indeed a "cringer" which sounds like the fruit of mixing a brown shade & oap hair. Memory is not my strongest point, but I seem to recall someone (was it Ducky?) last year quoting the dictionary at me to prove the car starter was a shade of green? Not worth me checking, but maybe one for Mr Picky. (3 years, 6 months ago)

david A garcia @ #44405: tThoroughfare should have been accepted. You're forgiven for your use of "boogaloo". (3 years, 6 months ago)

david A garcia @ #42399: Yes boys, they're called "red herrings" and they are what makes the puzzle a puzzle and not something out of Highlights magazine. (3 years, 6 months ago)

david A garcia @ #46413: you must stand corrected. They are not interchangeable. That is, in fact, a textbook red herring and a necessity to a satisfying puzzle. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Sluggardo @ #48529: Too hard for me! I liked the word group (didn’t get it though - or any of the others either…) (3 years, 6 months ago)

Jmelb @ #48488: i think you'll find X that BB King is a female singer if you think of it in a broader sense because no one is really just male or female anymore it's all about energies, you just have to be open to it (3 years, 6 months ago)

Jmelb @ #48471: I have just played it again, and I think it could really do with some improvements. For starters, who is that well acquainted with apples? Does anyone even eat apples these days.. you probably could have gone with some better beaches too, Bondi is disgustingly crowded (3 years, 6 months ago)

wild_bio @ #48497: @TheCount That was a concern - numbers can have a lot in common and there is nearly always a way to link any group of then. I'll have a play with it based on your suggestions. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #48495: Nice. Made one of these with (Ithink) ICQ and T a while back, but can't find it damnit (3 years, 6 months ago)

X @ #48495: Enjoyed this one! (3 years, 6 months ago)

TheCount @ #48497: Number grids are a pleasing alternative and your solution has a neatness to it. Unfortunately the nature of numbers allow you to group them is many ways. Another solution is 1 prime factor (3 97 199 237), 2 prime factors (55 69 231 289), 3 prime factors (18, 30, 66, 99) and multiples of 4 (4 36 64 100) ... or ... What about going for multiples of 6 (18 30 36 66)? Then the given group that contains 99 will absorb the leftovers (and 2 of your groups are unchanged). (3 years, 6 months ago)

Dgms @ #48482: Cherry and mahogany could be swapped imto each others' groups. (3 years, 6 months ago)

wild_bio @ #48497: No idea if this one's a bit too off-the-wall... but though I might as well put it out there! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Obscurious @ #48408: Loved it. Ty. I'm kind of short of time atm, but invested some of it in reading the setters name, otherwise I probably wouldn't play an Irish grid (3 years, 6 months ago)

Obscurious @ #48282: Loved it. Too good to be the insomnia cure I was looking for. Not many points cos I always had cold.neck with the other flighty creatures. Also I go to black park every day and it has a lake - very hard to get that out of my head. Yes, there are swans on the lake, we even had a black swan last year - quite a migration! Keep up the good work, it is appreciated even if I can't drop by too often. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #48412: Hmm. Plutonium isn't a planet. And the Head in heading and foot in football aren't exactly 'hidden' body parts, they are first derivatives thereof. Some nice ideas but badly executed (3 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #48422: Le yu ?? Good grid otherwise Thanks for posting (3 years, 6 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #48419: Got nowhere on this grid; had all kinds of ideas, but they were all wrong :( Very clever and tricky. Thanks! (3 years, 6 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #48422: Nice grid! I got all but one group. However, you may wish to change 'Le Yu' to something like 'Ember pets', which may work better. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Fi @ #4153: On behalf of precise, non-lazy people, we totally disagree with the complaints from lazy, imprecise whingers being posted. To be imprecise is to be incorrect. If you failed to specify 'surnames' in 'Harry Potter characters' surnames', or 'contain' in 'contain animals' your answer is too imprecise and therefore wrong. Well coded, submitter. 👍👍 Keep up the great work! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #26817: Agree with coren (3 years, 6 months ago)

Slamdunk @ #48403: Well done ty (3 years, 6 months ago)

mike @ #8355: Great fun, love the red herring, took me a bit to figure it out (3 years, 6 months ago)

mike @ #23323: Pretty fun, but the lack of red herrings makes it too easy. And the anagram category really is tired. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #48399: Of courseiassumeditwas a trap. But then i remembered that checking wouldnt take very long (3 years, 6 months ago)

Steve tass @ #48410: Convinced I saw plebs people in there. 2 points for me (3 years, 6 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #48330: Fixed. Thanks. (3 years, 6 months ago)

VCM @ #48405: Well it was easy so you got that right. however, how can groups be limes, lemon or melon, pear and date? maybe I'm missing something (3 years, 6 months ago)

VCM @ #48396: Not medium enough for me! (3 years, 6 months ago)

VCM @ #48409: Good grid. I didn't fully solve it but enjoyed it (3 years, 6 months ago)

david A garcia @ #48320: Very good! (3 years, 6 months ago)

big dave @ #48408: Unless you are a fan of discworld stuff then this is just impossible and a complete non starter. Feel sorry that someone has gone to great lengths to create a grid for 1 out of 100 people to enjoy. Waste of 3 minutes of everyones life (3 years, 6 months ago)

Rounak Gupta @ #48141: Nice one (3 years, 6 months ago)

Henry @ #48372: Great grid (3 years, 6 months ago)

Jesse @ #48403: Smart! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Scoobydont @ #48343: Great matrix - got the groups just in time but 2 of the 4 connections. Got fixated on the red/blue herrings! (3 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #48404: love some Shakespeare clues! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Victorf @ #48402: Ouch, my poor brain! So you know, one explanation is too long / too many lines and half-ish does not show on the screen. But I get the idea. (And 'Dance of a Salesman' needs 2 x 'of' in the middle!) (3 years, 6 months ago)

Dgms @ #48402: Good fun. Feels a bit too complicated and too easy all at the same time. The links are easy once the grid is sorted, and they're not too hard to spot in the unsorted grid, but with every box being a double clue, it takes ages to read them, and remembering what the answer for each box is, THEN seeing how it fits with other boxes you've solved, is another skill in itself. It becomes a memory game, not a quiz and logic puzzle. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Igor @ #48395: Almost very good. Mainly general knowledge (I like that). A couple of more obscure clues spoiled my enjoyment (although they might have helped others). (3 years, 6 months ago)

lockdown @ #48402: Love it TY (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mark @ #48372: One of the best grids I've done for a while. Tricky, but enjoyable. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #48395: Proper tough grid - I couldn't get any but saw Tea and Milk before the end! I had no idea what Nazi Soup was, give you the benefit of the doubt there as you're not relying on anorak level knowledge elsewhere. Well done (3 years, 6 months ago)

joey @ #27513: ovary concert isn't an anagram of conservatory. Shame, because other than that it's a great grid (3 years, 6 months ago)

Matt @ #48313: Good grid. Lose the is as not needed and not in the answer - was it a typo? (3 years, 6 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #48314: Nice, but tough, thanks! (3 years, 6 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #48305: Thanks. Yes I found the music slow to load this time. I’ve done quite a few before without this issue. Not sure why it’s like this this time. Anyway - glad you enjoyed it @gridlington (3 years, 6 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #48319: Very nice grid, thanks! (3 years, 6 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #48320: For the capital category, I get that Singapore and Luxembourg work. However, Mexico and Guatemala don't because you have to ADD city. If you have to add or subtract something, how can they be the SAME? (3 years, 6 months ago)

lockdown @ #48317: nice ty (3 years, 6 months ago)

Sean Riley @ #48317: I think the connecting words need work. I know it's tough because it's a clue (honestly, I think 'blue' should have been removed as a clue as a result) but "blue" is an obvious guess in that category for the answer, and 'red' is on the pink category, as well. Also, is 'school' somehow incorrect for the top category? I think you may have 'schools' but not 'school'. Or maybe I typo'd. It's possible. But do check. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #48141: Nice easy one thanks. Paul, it doesn't matter that a killer whale is not a whale - "killer whale" is still the phrase so it fits the group. (3 years, 6 months ago)

UStralian @ #48304: deja vu. Was this an accidental repost? (3 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #48310: Like the Abba one! Good grid (3 years, 6 months ago)

UStralian @ #48295: good grid, the curtains were very challenging. But please use singulars (door, weapon, curtain) in your linking words - they trap the plurals as well. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #48305: Wow! That was tough at first. The music took aaaaages to load. It definitely needs the 10 minutes instead of 3, but I solved the grid with 3 mins to spare. Nice idea and a novel grid. (3 years, 6 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #48220: Golden Grahams are a cereal. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Dgms @ #48274: Good grid, but I'd disagree about Tsunami being in that group - some people pronounce the T, so it's not definitively a silent letter. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Dgms @ #48239: Good, but Alderney was also a breed of cattle, so could be swapped with Jersey. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Dgms @ #48250: Nice grid - only got 7/10, as I couldn't quite get the last two groups sorted in time. You might want to tweak the acceptable keywords on the 'ization' group, to accept 'ize', 'ise' and 'isation' (those last two are the English English spellings), as they all work with those words. (3 years, 6 months ago)

WhatThe @ #29738: The Hugh Laurie one was ridiculously obscure given he made a single guest appearance on Friends and two uncredited ones on Spooks. "TV show" should have been an acceptable answer. "Magic" should be an acceptable answer for the magicians row. (3 years, 6 months ago)

WhatThe @ #38037: Not being familiar with Inspector Morse, I kept trying to fit Hercule Poirot in. So the Disney group was very clever. (3 years, 6 months ago)

WhatThe @ #33032: The words in the Clue row are also all colours, which is what I thought the connection was (even though one of the other rows were also more particular colours). (3 years, 6 months ago)

WhatThe @ #12924: I should know by now, from having watched Only Connect and University Challenge, that you really need to know your kings and queens of Britain... (3 years, 6 months ago)

WhatThe @ #4165: Never even heard of Crystal Maze, but I guess that's a UK thing. (3 years, 6 months ago)

WhatThe @ #44800: synonym row doesn't accept "insane" (3 years, 6 months ago)

WhatThe @ #6833: Will add to the chorus of 'doesn't accept "relatives"'. (3 years, 6 months ago)

WhatThe @ #41610: I recognised 15 of the 16 themes but got no rows. :-( (3 years, 6 months ago)

WhatThe @ #40779: The media controls row doesn't accept "media" as the answer. The power plug row doesn't accept "media" as the answer (3 years, 6 months ago)

VCM @ #48237: Well worn or not it's a good one (3 years, 7 months ago)

Shakes Spears @ #48236: Very good - Loved the overlaps (3 years, 7 months ago)

Joe @ #48242: Good! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Igor @ #48239: A solid, traditional (whatever that means) grid. A few red herrings and all general knowledge categories. A winner! (3 years, 7 months ago)

J Silberman @ #48237: Probably a well worn idea. Here's my effort. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Joe @ #48233: Good! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Joe @ #48232: Not unique. Minerva/Luna could be swapped with Pomona. (3 years, 7 months ago)

david A garcia @ #39063: Good job. "Synonyms" works on Only Connect. It should work consistently here. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Joe @ #48231: Rubbish.. trying to be too clever... (3 years, 7 months ago)

Joe @ #48226: Not good.. any number can be a common size in clothes... (3 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #48233: Good fun, thanks. I liked the D-Day misdirection. (3 years, 7 months ago)

JimAndTonic @ #48222: The comment above was not me. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jimmy @ #48222: amazing!!!! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #48221: Its says Atalanta , MORON (3 years, 7 months ago)

Robert Pringle @ #48221: Its Atalanta, not Atlanta. Moron. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Boring @ #48224: Nice ty (3 years, 7 months ago)

HarryRaesucks @ #48127: OMG THIS GRID IS AMAZING. FROM THE LINKS TO THE INDIVIDUAL TILES, THIS GRID IS ASTOUNDINGLY MARVELLOUS, PERFECT EVEN. THE CREATOR OF THIS GRID MUST BE SOME SORT OF HAWKING- LEVEL GENIUS BECAUSE ONLY SOMEONE AT HIS LEVEL COULD PRODUCE SOMETHING AT THIS LEVEL OF BRILLIANCE. ANYONE WHO CRITICISES ANYTHING ABOUT IT MUST BE LACKING BRAIN CELLS AND NEEDS TO RE-EVALUATE THEIR LIFE DECISIONS. Thank you Mr creator. (3 years, 7 months ago)

JimAndTonic @ #48200: hi (3 years, 7 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #48199: Nice Grid! The capital category is specific to capital cities of US states, not just capital cities; I typed that in and got the point. Hope that helps. (3 years, 7 months ago)

UStralian @ #48199: Please capitalize all the words in the grid Please put "capital" in the link for group two. Perhaps you used the plural? It rejected "capital cities" (3 years, 7 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #48218: Tough grid, although some connections a bit spurious (3 years, 7 months ago)

UStralian @ #48121: Skip the guest stars, eh? (3 years, 7 months ago)

UStralian @ #48168: Please add "synonym" to the link list for group 2, and "homophone" for group 3. Group 4 is pretty low quality - Gucci is obscure, bang puts the link is a different place to the others. Also...try to make it something you'd let your mum solve. (3 years, 7 months ago)

UStralian @ #48184: Very nice red herring with neap. Down to my last life. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Scoobydont @ #48166: I’m no fan but I got the 4 groups in 4 straight goes by selecting similar styles answers. Failed completely to get any links though! lol (3 years, 7 months ago)

Haha @ #44350: Stupid (3 years, 7 months ago)

A @ #48200: hi (3 years, 7 months ago)

Boring @ #48198: Enjoyed this ty (3 years, 7 months ago)

Boring @ #48191: I liked it ty (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jimdas @ #48184: Nice, but it didn't accept tide.. You owe me some confetti lol.. jokes, good one thanks (3 years, 7 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #48191: Good one. (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #48143: so wanted to use 'gas' and 'bit' in a grid (3 years, 7 months ago)

MehMeh @ #48190: Umbridge and Lockhart weren't substitute DADA teachers, I've let you have Snape because he subbed for Lupin before he was made official DADA professor. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ricol @ #48143: Brain teaser (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #48153: ah! there is no alternative. vg ty (3 years, 7 months ago)

VICTORIAous @ #48153: Robert Pringle???? (3 years, 7 months ago)

Tom @ #33635: Clever and accessible (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #48115: I liked that (3 years, 7 months ago)

Gary Middleton @ #48071: Loved the past tense group. Very clever. (3 years, 7 months ago)

WhatThe @ #14224: The number of red herrings was good, if frustrating (which, I suppose, is their purpose). But I think it would have been more elegant if the dance row had also been a wordplay one (like the other three), rather than a definition one. Or, alternatively, if there had been four different methods for the four different rows, instead of one methods for three rows, and another for the fourth. Still, you're my favourite puzzle designer on this site. Really like that you provide detailed explanations of the answers, and how you often have an overall theme that ties the entire puzzle together. (3 years, 7 months ago)

WhatThe @ #14357: Fiendish, until you cotton on to what's required. I don't think the sports row really worked, as the letters are not common or standardised abbreviations for the sports in question. Making the link between an abbreviation to a sport and then to the number of players is a bridge too far IMO. Also, the solfege row should accept "notes". (3 years, 7 months ago)

Robert Pringle @ #48153: Are you serious???? (3 years, 7 months ago)

WhatThe @ #14868: Excellent explanations - clear and comprehensive (3 years, 7 months ago)

Robert Pringle @ #48184: Nice!! (3 years, 7 months ago)

WhatThe @ #13724: While I managed to work out three of the connections, the only row I solved is the Harrison Ford one. Because I'm a nerd. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #48183: Me: instantly spots the Idunn/ Snow White connection Also me: can't see where Steve Jobs fits in to any of this. Super grid as usual (3 years, 7 months ago)

John Neblett @ #32347: Thanks, John Neblett for puzzgrid.com (3 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #48172: Nice. (3 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #48184: Very good. (3 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #48185: Bit tough if you don't know a certain TV show! (3 years, 7 months ago)

WhatThe @ #27382: Great wall. But please provide more detailed explanations. Managed to work out all four connections (in each case using only two clues to make the connection, so obviously didn't solve any rows). But in the case of mustard, still don't understand how the "cut * expected standard" and "jack bythe hedge garlic*" clues work. And in the case of colonel, still don't understand how the "bogey" clue works. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jimdas @ #48149: I know that in Czech voda is water.. I had to just assume somewhere in Russia they probably drink more vodka than water anyway, so... (3 years, 7 months ago)

HarryRae @ #48181: Brilliant - not what i suspected! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ryan @ #16200: Awesome red herrings with Cole and Wood :) (3 years, 7 months ago)

david A garcia @ #48071: Very good. The past tense category was especially clever. I didn't figure it out, but I should have. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #48172: Apple and Pecan are arguably interchangeable, otherwise good. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Henry @ #48057: Nice classic grid (3 years, 7 months ago)

Timmon @ #48149: I agree with the other comment. Russian for water is voda, Not vodka. (3 years, 7 months ago)

JimAndTonic @ #48170: Nice one Chora, rlly good grid. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jason @ #48143: If you don't solve this, you're a delusional disgrace. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Boring @ #48166: @Mister Tom, never read it myself-just know a lot of folk do endless grids about it, so if you can't beat them ... (3 years, 7 months ago)

Victorf @ #48141: A very easy 'Grid of the Day'. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #48166: Rather niche (which is fine I guess), and no crossovers (which isn't). Fans of the books will not struggle (3 years, 7 months ago)

well hello there @ #47881: this is hard (3 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Mama @ #47798: Who is joe? It is a question many have dared to ask, none have survived. The ancient mystery remains unsolved (3 years, 7 months ago)

VCM @ #48170: Good Grid, were the writers feminists or females? Should have got Keira Knightley but didn't! (3 years, 7 months ago)

VCM @ #48172: Not too difficult. Enough to make it satisfying! (3 years, 7 months ago)

paul @ #48141: Very nice, but Killer whales are not whales. (3 years, 7 months ago)

HarryRae @ #48127: Some of the gems and pokemon feel interchangeable? (3 years, 7 months ago)

HarryRae @ #48155: really nice TY (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dgms @ #15776: Great grid. I just scraped sorting the groups in time, and almost gave up trying to see the connection on the final one -took so long to see how flatten fitted with the only connection I could see between the other group members- but managed 10/10. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Breylis @ #48143: Good if you're learning about finances. (3 years, 7 months ago)

quodlibet @ #24527: Never heard of San Bernedino - maybe you mean Bernardino? (3 years, 7 months ago)

Oz @ #48143: Good ty (3 years, 7 months ago)

EggHead @ #48050: Thanks Dgms, I hadn’t noticed that, and so have now edited the grid to fix this! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Scumpy jack @ #48144: Great grid (3 years, 7 months ago)

david A garcia @ #42213: enjoyable, but "terminate" should have been a solving word (3 years, 7 months ago)

VICTORIAous @ #48141: I like whales and worms :) (3 years, 7 months ago)

david A garcia @ #32313: Fiendish, but gettable. The best kind! (3 years, 7 months ago)

JimAndTonic @ #48116: I was wondering how you make the timer longer than 3 minutes? Love this grid thank you (3 years, 7 months ago)

Wendy @ #48149: Nice to actually be able to finish one for a change, but I think the Russian for water is voda, not vodka. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Scumpy jack @ #48138: Countries of United Kingdom, not great Britain (3 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #48136: Very nice... tho Holiday doesn't quite work as a red herring (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ryan @ #39541: Great grid. Tough one for me. (3 years, 7 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #48116: Sweet as a nut. Got stumped on the same one as Aetees! Great grid TY (3 years, 7 months ago)

sib @ #48112: Enjoyable grid :) (3 years, 7 months ago)

Steven @ #30437: Finally, one that's actually as difficult as the ones on the show! (3 years, 7 months ago)

VCM @ #48108: Nice and medium. About my level (3 years, 7 months ago)

Henry @ #48103: Great grid. Needed more time ! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Stephan @ #48104: Good grid (3 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #48104: Good one! 1 really original group. Fluked a 10/10, cause I couldn't see what else went with Motte. Pretty pleased with myself for getting Decker though (3 years, 7 months ago)

HarryRae @ #48132: Submitted before and it didn't show up, apologies for the duplication! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Stephan @ #48112: Great fun. Took about 4 mins though! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #48116: Never in a million years did I think you would go down the Pokémon route. I can't believe I missed it. Fantastic grid. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Mostly70sTV @ #48115: Thanks for the two positive comments. Typo fixed. The other comment ... meh! (3 years, 7 months ago)

JimAndTonic @ #48130: Salt is a compound and sandman is a villain. (3 years, 7 months ago)

christo @ #48130: I have a bit of a problem with some of the connections: thyme is not a spice (herb), salt is not an element, you can't write with lead (pencils contain graphite, a form of carbon). (3 years, 7 months ago)

Bob @ #48116: My all time favourite grid (3 years, 7 months ago)

Robert Pringle @ #48115: Theres a k in Arkwright ya twat!! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Scumpy jack @ #48126: Words beginning with the letter b is not really enough of a connection (3 years, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #48115: Good grid - thanks for sharing. Small typo on the actual grid tough missing "k" in Arkwright (3 years, 7 months ago)

Igor @ #48115: Enjoyable and simple enough... if you know about the theme. The clue is in the setter's name. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Freddgar @ #48108: Nice n easy 10s all round Thanks for posting (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ellie @ #48104: I will always tip my hat to obscure Trek knowledge. VGer would approve ;) (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ellie @ #48112: Ugh, some of them were a bit of a stretch but fun nevertheless. (3 years, 7 months ago)

le_feu @ #45859: Sehr schön! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #48116: 47730 was popular so here's the sequel. (3 years, 7 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #48112: Good fun, as always. 5* (3 years, 7 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #48103: Great grid 5* (3 years, 7 months ago)

Scumpy jack @ #48103: Some really laboured ones there (3 years, 7 months ago)

Gridlington @ #48112: Yay! 10/10. Nice grid! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ade @ #48092: Fun and clever. Thank you (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ade @ #48084: Good grid. Thank you (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ade @ #48083: Nice grid. Thanks (3 years, 7 months ago)

Morgan @ #47947: Good wall, but I should be able to say "flies" for the category "___Fly" (3 years, 7 months ago)

Stat&Waldo @ #48098: Had us stumped, but a very elegant grid. Ty. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Gridlington @ #48103: Veeeery nice! I had to keep restarting - couldn't do it in 3 mins, (3 years, 7 months ago)

Wendy @ #48103: Could have done with more time. Got the themes but needed more time to solve the individual clues (3 years, 7 months ago)

Donna @ #48084: Nice one (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dgms @ #47895: Never heard of star lord or go long. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Marshall Donnelly @ #48090: absolute drivel (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dgms @ #48103: Took me almost three times the time limit to get it. I saw what the groups were fairly quickly, but solving all the clues and remembering/re-solving them on each attempt at assembling a group took ages. (3 years, 7 months ago)

jonboy @ #48098: Good grid. Hard but fair, thanks. (3 years, 7 months ago)

JimAndTonic @ #48103: Hey everyone, i recommend refreshing the site before the time limit runs out once or twice, giving you 6 or 9 minutes to solve the grid, as it takes a bit of time to work out. (3 years, 7 months ago)

quodlibet @ #48024: I missed everything on the first round, but saw all the connections on the second round. Well done! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #48103: Excellent but needs more time to complete than is allowed here. Each of these categories would be good as a connections round question in its own right. Mind you, there are many smarter people than me on the site. (3 years, 7 months ago)

VCM @ #48091: Can't say I agree with 2 of the groups but hey-ho I'm no fashion historian (3 years, 7 months ago)

JimAndTonic @ #48090: Horse (3 years, 7 months ago)

VCM @ #48092: Enjoyed it. David Jason characters a bit tricky! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Robert Pringle @ #48057: Nice grids. Thanks. Makes a refreshing change to some of the rubbish we see on here. Did all of your grids and the connections were all logical. Thanks again (3 years, 7 months ago)

sib @ #48103: Very enjoyable but more time needed :) (3 years, 7 months ago)

Kazza K @ #48103: I love this type of grid :) To get ‘Uni’ it should be Higher Education, not Further... (3 years, 7 months ago)

Joe M. @ #47419: I think a better way to describe the connection between drill, beam, tile, and plank would be "things used in construction." (3 years, 7 months ago)

HarryRae @ #48060: So good! TY (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jmelb @ #48099: Fun wordplay TY (3 years, 7 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #47947: As Juno and Diana are both large asteroids, a solar system, or medium sized objects orbiting the sun discovered before 1883, would also be corrct (3 years, 7 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #48093: Nice connections, although geographic was repeated (3 years, 7 months ago)

paul @ #48072: Nice. Got the Putin group quickly, then wasted 3 minutes looking for the Miranda Hart connection! (3 years, 7 months ago)

paul @ #48069: Ich spreche kein Deutsch, aber es war spaß! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Sluggardo @ #48085: Very good. Did quite badly but kicked myself when I saw the answers NB small typo in Phoenix (3 years, 7 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #27560: I got those really quickly, and loved them, but they were all in the same niche. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Caz @ #767: Ridiculous (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dgms @ #31580: Easy enough to solve, and I got all ten points, but there's no such thing as a monkey tree, it's a monkey PUZZLE tree, so that group doesn't hand together, and the five classical elements are usually aether, earth, water, fire and air, not wind. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Victorf @ #48034: Alright but a bit weak for a 'Grid of the day'. The red herring was a rather obvious red. (3 years, 7 months ago)

MK @ #48034: Great red herring category! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dgms @ #32939: I got 10/10, and it's a nice grid, but juice isn't a homophone for deuce, if you pronounce it correctly. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #48034: Very well done. And almost very well done to me, Mr Chaplin tripped me up at the last. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dgms @ #48050: Nice, logical grid. Unfortunately, COOL and SETTLE could be swapped between their two groups. There's only supposed to be one valid way for the puzzle to be solved, so it can be done by knowledge band logic, rather than just lucky guessing. 'SETTLE' needs to be changed for something that can't go with 'DOWN', or 'COOL' needs to be changed for something that doesn't mean 'CALM', to avoid having two directly interchangeable answers and therefore two equally valid solutions. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Busman @ #48040: Nice to do an Aussie one. Thanks. (3 years, 7 months ago)

VCM @ #47999: dissection? That's not correct. This spoils the good feeling of having solved the grid. Good grid though (3 years, 7 months ago)

Vic @ #12437: A respectable shoal of red herrings here :) (3 years, 7 months ago)

Vic @ #16089: Brilliant (3 years, 7 months ago)

JimAndTonic @ #48028: Hi everyone, just wanted to say that Marshall is my brother and his comment was an in joke, thank you for your concern nonetheless! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Victorf @ #48000: Species contains 'p'. Won't that do? (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ade @ #47895: Nice grid. Thank you. Think Marshall only knows one word. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ade @ #48028: Agree with Ellie and gridlington. Perhaps you should try to construct a grid of your own Marshall. (3 years, 7 months ago)

A @ #48041: kuiper? (3 years, 7 months ago)

Scoobydont @ #48018: Amazing (3 years, 7 months ago)

A @ #48036: Up can apply to at least 9 (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jmelb @ #48037: Fun! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ellie @ #48028: The double-letters one was a bit weak but otherwise a good run-around. You might perhaps allow "collective" as these groupings are usually known as collective nouns (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ellie @ #48034: I just couldn't dig up that last category. Nice Shakespearean misdirections though :) (3 years, 7 months ago)

JimAndTonic @ #48034: Did this one in 24 seconds, never knew about charlie Chaplin's body though. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Cristobal @ #48034: Didn't know that about the bodies! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Cristobal @ #48031: The palindrome thing has been a bit done to death, tbh. (Chipmunk, with a U) (3 years, 7 months ago)

Obscurious @ #48000: How about you look up the word specie in a dictionary? Then you wouldn't look stupid. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Cristobal @ #47999: I would have said that a pirate said "Arr!" not "Aye". A sailor must say 'aye' instead of 'yes' (3 years, 7 months ago)

Marshall Donnelly @ #47928: drivel (3 years, 7 months ago)

Marshall Donnelly @ #48030: D to the R to the IVEL (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jmelb @ #48006: Its all north of me : D (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dgms @ #27627: Impossible to sort the professions from the Ipswich Town players without actually knowing all the players names. I was trying to sort out a group of surnames that are also professions, as seven of the eight (all except Woodsman, which isn't a surname I've heard) from those two groups fitted in that category, but I couldn't get another group that excluded any more of them. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Marshall Donnelly @ #47895: DRIVEL MATE (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dgms @ #27628: I can't believed I didn't get the Wembley group! Great grid. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Marshall Donnelly @ #48028: Absolute DRIVEL! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dgms @ #27635: Not sure what in the 'bedroom' group is supposed to indicate it's bedroom rather than any other anagram that we're looking for as the connection, but apart from that, good grid. I suppose the 'e in boardroom' clue kind of does, but as you don't always put anagram indicators in the clues where letters need rearranging, that could easily be any anagram of bedroom/boredom (3 years, 7 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #48017: Very nice grid, although 'insects' should really be good enough. The wasp section particularly nice (3 years, 7 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #48023: Really nice grid, especially liked the trump family red herrings. I had to check on the videos from that Russian hotel to see if 'Red banana' was a thing from the ex pres / future con (3 years, 7 months ago)

Chris Brady @ #47999: One is an Aye. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #48029: The 2 non surname groups are a bit imopossible I think. I got 6 thanks to a lucky guess (3 years, 7 months ago)

JimAndTonic @ #48029: As someone who knows very little about literature i think 4 is a respectable score. Thanks. (3 years, 7 months ago)

jimmi @ #29613: oh past jimmi what were you thinking with this grid?! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dgms @ #27657: Nice grid - didn't get the Chinese inventions group. (3 years, 7 months ago)

A @ #48023: Barron is Donald Trump's son, part of the Trump family red herring group! (Ivanka, Eric, Barron, Tiffany) (3 years, 7 months ago)

Josh @ #45713: In reply to ABC: Yes, he was, but the candy bar was named after Ruth Cleveland, the president's daughter. Check out the wiki article. This was a great quiz! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dgms @ #27651: Nice, fairly straightforward, basic grid, but Brown and Gladstone can be swapped directly with each other, between the Prime Minister group and the Bags group - in fact, I'd say Brown really doesn't belong with the bags, while Gladstone could go in either group so should be in the Bag group, not the PMs group. That's not just a red herring, it means there are two valid solutions and it's down to pure luck/mind reading if someone solves the grid, as I did. (3 years, 7 months ago)

A @ #48000: Yeah I don't see how species contains a word for money (3 years, 7 months ago)

A @ #48025: Nice grid but I'm not sure how 'broken stone' fits into metal/mettle, only got that right through luck (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dgms @ #27664: Finland isn't Scandinavia. It's not part of the Scandinavian peninsula and it's language isn't in the Scandinavian language family - it's Uralic and unrelated to Danish, Norwegian and Swedish. That said, it was the only group and connection I got. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Will @ #47991: 11/10 if I could. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Obscurious @ #48011: Love the way it all resolves in Yoda speak. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Obscurious @ #48006: Erm - Nottingham? (3 years, 7 months ago)

sib @ #47991: Really good grid (3 years, 7 months ago)

Cristobal @ #48023: Nice grid. The hidden transport group is quite a popular one at the moment. ("Baron" only has one R by the way) (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ersatz @ #48000: Good grid! Pretty difficult. I’m having trouble finding the money word in “species” (3 years, 7 months ago)

Igor @ #48018: Nice theme but I don't know London well enough. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Igor @ #48014: Nicely constructed. Although I don't know enough about the connections to score anything! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Joe @ #47991: good! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Freddgar @ #48017: Fleas don't fly Flea, the common name for the order Siphonaptera, includes 2,500 species of small flightless insects that survive as external parasites of mammals and birds.(WikiFleadia) 😉 Other than that, good grid (3 years, 7 months ago)

Steven Elliott @ #47999: Great grid, although I would have said the Sailor says 'eye,' the Pirate probably says 'arh' instead which put me in the direction of homophones around the letter 'r'. Still full marks from me. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Freddgar @ #47991: As per HarryRae Absolutely wizard (3 years, 7 months ago)

pwfk fan @ #47992: Calm down Mr T. Pity the fool..... (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dgms @ #7751: Frustrating. Saw what all the groups were within about ten seconds, but there were too many alternatives for each one, so I couldn't keep track of what I'd already tried, so failed to sort one single group. If my knowledge of US state capitals and US space programmes were more encyclopaedic, maybe I'd have had a chance. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dgms @ #7771: Good grid, deceptively difficult to sort out even though 'speach' being a misspelling gave the game away about its being part of a 'hidden word' group. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dgms @ #7361: Good grid, nice and logical, but with enough red herrings to stop it being completely obvious. However, it's Elle not El Macpherson. I can forgive 'forhead', as I'm always mixing up the spellings of Forebear and Forbear. (3 years, 7 months ago)

paul @ #47999: some of the explanations aren't quite right, but good grid anyway! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Tom @ #29451: Clever, as usual, struggled with positional propositions a bit (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #48006: Nah then and I'll sithee :-) (3 years, 7 months ago)

HarryRae @ #47991: Wizard! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Julia @ #48006: lol tough one (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jmelb @ #48006: *homage to my northern mates : ) (3 years, 7 months ago)

jonboy @ #48004: Nice, just the right amount of red herrings (sturgeons) (3 years, 7 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #47999: Excellent grid! thank you (3 years, 7 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #48000: Nice grid, thank you (3 years, 7 months ago)

pseudandry @ #47927: Loved it - missed the last connection (3 years, 7 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #47924: Nice grid, golden sombrero and platoon are new to me; very good (3 years, 7 months ago)

Adam & Amanda @ #32815: Nice mix of categories (3 years, 7 months ago)

Charles IV @ #47924: I don't like baseball get it outta hereeeeeeeee (3 years, 7 months ago)

Charles IV @ #47994: Tally pip, my good sir! I do love those Story songs! (3 years, 7 months ago)

THE REAL SOUTHSOUTH @ #47995: WHO IS IMPERSONATING ME IN THE COMMENT SECTION (3 years, 7 months ago)

southsouth @ #47995: too powerful for meeee (3 years, 7 months ago)

>Rads @ #47994: 3/10! Confounded once again by superior wit! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Sonny Bono and Cher @ #47994: Good one! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #47897: Next time you cross the street don't bother looking (3 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #47992: Well imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I Found this quite easy, probably because I was LITERALLY FIVE MINUTES from posting my own grid with Botticelli's birth of Williams as one of the clues. Which you've now completely ruined for me because grids like this still need red herrings and your group straddled two of my planned crossovers. so I can't just blindly replace the group. A days effort wasted. Grrr. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #47884: What Stephan said. (3 years, 7 months ago)

bbsgirl @ #47574: Easy but very enjoyable. Nice job. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #47991: Not a unique solution I'm afraid... I count 13,824 ways to make 4 group each consisting of characters from the same film ;-) 5* (3 years, 7 months ago)

ernst blofinger @ #11690: excellent grid.. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Julia @ #47961: cool. Chris Brady, it's a type of cat! (3 years, 7 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #47992: Great fun. 5* (3 years, 7 months ago)

Robert Pringle @ #47954: Anagrams were really good!! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Chris Brady @ #47970: You bugger..good one ;-) (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dgms @ #618: The 'made of sugars' group didn't accept carbohydrate as a connection - which would have been a more accurate band concise definition. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Chris Brady @ #47987: A veritable shoal of herrings. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Chris Brady @ #47961: Scottish what? (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ade @ #47929: A full sweep for me! Lovely. Thank you (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ade @ #47974: As Cristobal but I’d add that they were informed guesses. Nice grid. Thank you (3 years, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #47973: @A Thank you, a very silly error on my part. I have edited the grid to better reflect reality. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Cristobal @ #47974: A bit of guesswork, but a full 10 for me! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Cristobal @ #47983: I didn't get a single line, which is unusual! Having said that, it's a good grid, although I would say that pavement is the UK term for what the Americans call a sidewalk. And the fever group flummoxed me. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dgms @ #445: Not too hard. For some reason it took me ages to spot the homophones, and I didn't see the chess pieces until all the other groups were sorted and identified. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dgms @ #423: A bit easy for a 'difficult' wall. Solved in forty seconds. Good, logical connections, but a little obvious. (3 years, 7 months ago)

A @ #47973: Adele's second album is 21 but it's in the 18 group? (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dgms @ #368: Sorted out the groups in thirty seconds, but didn't identify the tarot. Good grid. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dgms @ #413: Wolf being considered as having no rhyme in English, depends entirely on what accent you're speaking with. (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #47962: thank you J (3 years, 7 months ago)

James Ellison @ #47956: I think im 'ard as I've just booked both ma jabs. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Vernon Chapman @ #47949: I AM SIX FOOT FIVE AND I SOLVED THIS 7/10 p.s. I own 5 houses. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Adam Harvey @ #47947: I love running - Im so much faster than James Ellison and Vernon Chapman. I mean, can they even run? Vernon Chapman also invented Nescafe if you didn't already know. IG also tells me that im not very good at building stuff. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dgms @ #64: Logical grid, after one group was solved, the others fell into place quickly, with the overlaps easily sorted into their correct groups. (3 years, 7 months ago)

haywood @ #47956: Nice (3 years, 7 months ago)

HarryRae @ #47766: Brilliant! Spent far too long looking for a ham/beef group... (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #47970: 5* (3 years, 7 months ago)

HarryRae @ #47953: loved this (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dgms @ #47766: Good grid - found the Toy story group difficult to separate because of all the red herrings, but when only that and the group with News were left, it became pretty clear. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Timmon @ #47961: Scottish had me stumped, never heard of that. I got 7/10 Good grid you deserve 9/10 (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jmelb @ #47956: Nice (3 years, 7 months ago)

Enzed @ #47956: Nice (3 years, 7 months ago)

david A garcia @ #47699: very nice! I didn't get the animal one until I'd resolved the wall. The baseball group is fine as simply "terms". (3 years, 7 months ago)

NY-Barry @ #47791: Super clever, well done! (3 years, 7 months ago)

RSUD @ #47953: Boron is not a noble gas. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Bbsgirl @ #47934: Would have been a very easy 10 points if you knew how to spell Tarantino 🙄 (3 years, 7 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #47928: Nice racism in the answers (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jimdas @ #47934: Good one thnx (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jimdas @ #47925: Brilliant one thanks (3 years, 7 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #47934: Damn almost got it. If only I'd correctly guessed how you wanted to mis- spell Tarantino (3 years, 7 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #47953: Very enjoyable grid (3 years, 7 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #47954: If a clue is parliament, it's a bit unimaginative to have the answer being parliament. Plus in general you need to widen the category of correct answers. Three categories (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ryan @ #47845: Really thought alternating consonants and vowels would be a category: "Papaya, Avocado, Banana, Tomato." Nice grid, found it quite tricky. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ragman @ #47951: Like the 'The Shining' red herring..... (3 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #47943: Verygood (3 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #47947: Sneaky Queen red herring ! (3 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #47951: Very good (3 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #47949: Clever (3 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #47947: A nice subversion of an old chestnut (3 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #47574: Good (3 years, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #47947: Very enjoyable. I am not sure if it was an easy one in general or just because I have used all of those groups before (Not in one grid of course). Thanks for posting. (3 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #47576: Easy. (3 years, 7 months ago)

outfoxed @ #47912: Quite good, but it's Herman's Hermits! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Fredo @ #47944: Lipton's is still a brand under PepsiCo/Britvic I think (3 years, 7 months ago)

jonboy @ #47926: Nice one. Couldn’t resolve the final groups. Thanks (3 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #47934: Fun grid, and a bit easier than your usual standard (which i appreciated today). Thanks. (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #47929: smiler (3 years, 7 months ago)

pedant @ #47934: good categories and red herrings. check spelling on the Django group solution (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dave @ #47929: When you figure out the first one it's very easy but getting to that point was not. Good grid! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #47934: I think that's the first of your grids I've ever done which I'd classify as "easy"! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Juan José @ #47677: (3 years, 7 months ago)

Stephan @ #47925: Nice one (3 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #47893: They're pasta endings.... but yeah it's not a great group. Why not try translations of pasta as a group in your next grid? Then you get clues like worms and bow ties. This works better: as a solver, you want to see clues that could fall into lots of possible groups. This needed better red herrings- clues which appear to fit into group A but actually belong to group B. But don't give up! Grid beats no grid (3 years, 7 months ago)

Victorf @ #47922: A bit too involved for an Only Connect. Great clues - but for a different format of quiz. I appreciated the extra time, solved some of the clues and got no groups. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Vic @ #39817: Beagle, brilliant (3 years, 7 months ago)

David (a different David to the first comment above) @ #47921: An unusual challenge, thanks. With no Spanish whatsoever, I was pleased to get 2/10 using rusty Latin & French. I'd be interested to learn what the connections were: would you consider adding an English translation of the answers? (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ellie @ #47927: Nice red herrings, cool grid :) (3 years, 7 months ago)

Lando @ #40534: How can "evil" be a synonym for "evil"? (3 years, 7 months ago)

PomPom @ #47895: I didnt know who Starman or Star-Lord was until I did this puzzgrid! a fabulous one. (3 years, 7 months ago)

cora @ #47902: Nice. But... shouldn't it be Oceania instead of Autralia? (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ellie @ #47893: One of these groups is pasta joke. Like, gnocchi has a G, it's *far*falle and what the hell is ne?! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #47895: Only just got it. Thanks to TGOTG. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Sarah @ #8769: Really enjoyed the grid, but was disappointed when “Facial features” was marked incorrect. A message has just come up saying there’s no need to comment about this unless it’s constructive - well, I hope it’s constructive to suggest making a change to allow this answer!! Thanks (3 years, 7 months ago)

Sarah @ #31533: Presidents’ wives should be correct for First Ladies! Great grid though. (3 years, 7 months ago)

jmjmjm @ #47912: Good grid. But it's Bill Haley... (3 years, 7 months ago)

Robert Pringle @ #47889: You are an absolute moron!!!! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Vic @ #21422: Good overlaps! Excellent work (3 years, 7 months ago)

Vic @ #12915: Love the explanations! Also good user name :D (3 years, 7 months ago)

Vic @ #7712: Learned a lot from that one category! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dexter @ #47902: A good wall for any beginner. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Julia @ #47879: cool (3 years, 7 months ago)

Julia @ #47895: cool (3 years, 7 months ago)

sib @ #47879: Needlecrafts are the new rock 'n roll and not just for nans (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ryan @ #42399: As James mentioned, the capitals and Andrews have a second solution if you exchange Jackson and Lincoln. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Khitty @ #47845: Clarify that the answer categories are based on newer botanical classifications, not the original culinary definitions. Ex: peanuts are nuts in the culinary sense of dry, edible, (generally) fatty seeds or fruits, but botanically, they are the seeds of a legume plant, as are peas. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ade @ #47891: Agree with Joe. Certainly needed the give up button (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ade @ #47730: Absolutely brilliant. Thank you (3 years, 7 months ago)

Robert Pringle @ #47713: Crap!! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Chris G @ #2218: Metal and stones for jewellery? But they’re also wedding anniversary gifts which is a more plausible answer (3 years, 7 months ago)

JubalBarca @ #26344: Not unique unfortunately - nappy cream is a thing, and sour -> hour or sun -> hun, so swaps can be made. (3 years, 7 months ago)

David (a different David to the first comment above) @ #47901: Nice grid, never realised BC was a ginge: good trivia. (There's no 'e' in Forsyth, by the way) (3 years, 7 months ago)

Bob @ #47897: Utter nonsense (3 years, 7 months ago)

Robert Pringle @ #47897: What are you......3????? (3 years, 7 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #47835: Great (3 years, 7 months ago)

sib @ #47889: Peanut butter jelly time????????? Capital A????? Jack category also a stretch Pie was the only good category (3 years, 7 months ago)

sib @ #47897: Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (3 years, 7 months ago)

Joe @ #47891: South Wales? Thats the flag of Wales.. same for Yorkshire. Makes no sense.. (3 years, 7 months ago)

jonboy @ #47891: Very hard but fun to try, thanks (3 years, 7 months ago)

Stephan @ #47884: Great idea but needs much more time allowed. (3 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #47891: Hard! Enjoyed my first use of the give up button :) (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jmelb @ #47891: Well I liked it. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Not Take That @ #28799: Kidz is by Robbie Williams and Kylie Minogue not Take That. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Yambo @ #47875: Great grid! (3 years, 7 months ago)

PomPom @ #47878: This was a tricky one.. keep it coming! (3 years, 7 months ago)

PomPom @ #47873: 10/10! Loved this (3 years, 7 months ago)

Rob @ #47878: Nice. I couldn't do it, but nice! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Rob @ #47528: Too easy! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Rob @ #47840: Very easy to get the groups. The "countries without their first letters" is very nice, but deserves a grid of its own with some overlap with other groups. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Rob @ #47857: Too Easy. It's two half-puzzles (numbers and sports) rather than a whole puzzle. And the whole thing is visually splittable into the groups of four even if you've never seen or heard of German before - the groups are just "short zigs", "long zigs", "Ich spieles" and "Ich something elses"! Also, siebenundzwanzig is 27, which is NOT prime, it's 3x3x3. Try 67 or 97 instead. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ellie @ #47858: This is wrong on so many levels: Elvis and Tupac were often referred to by their full names Atticus Ross is now in NIN, Justin Vernon has various people working with him in Bon Iver (certainly since the first album), Kevin Parker doesn't tour alone And the Oz thing has already been pointed out. Good effort but pls d yr hmwrk (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ellie @ #47865: 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 Or, as you have it, eight :( (3 years, 7 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #47873: Great! But maybe "shortened" men's names? (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ellie @ #47879: Yeah, it would help if you spelled the clues correctly! :( (3 years, 7 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #47878: Very good (3 years, 7 months ago)

gridlington @ #47879: What Diana said. Plus, the 'cushion' group would fit "terms used in the game of pool" too! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Diana @ #47879: Nice grid, but should be 'crochet' not 'crotchet'. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Paul @ #47873: That was fun (3 years, 7 months ago)

Tom @ #32896: Too clever For me (3 years, 7 months ago)

David (a different David to the first comment above) @ #47868: Fun, thanks. Can I suggest an alternate link for the 'pin' group? - Those words are also all connected to pool. (3 years, 7 months ago)

jonboy @ #47865: Easy but nice, thanks (3 years, 7 months ago)

jonboy @ #47868: OK but need more options in the descriptors, eg needlework for the knit group. Also it is crochet, not crotchet, which might mislead people. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Shaq @ #47847: @Cristobal homo -> gleich , graph -> schreiben / geschrieben Was die Wörter in der entsprechnenden Kategorie angeht gibt es zum jeden mehr als EINE Bedeutung / EINE Aussprache, doch das Schriftbild ist identisch, was Homographen ausmacht. Man unterscheidet weiterhin ind er Gruppe der Homographen Heteronyme (gleiche Schreibweise + andere Bedeutung + andere Aussprache) was auch auf Weg / weg und Ho(o)chzeit / Hochzeit zutrifft, Homonyme ( gleiche Schreibweise + gleiche Aussprache + andere Bedeutung) und Homographen die sich nur in der Aussprache unterscheiden. Dazu muss ich gestehen, dass mein Soruce-Material dazu englisch ist und ich nicht garantiert sagen kann ob die Begrifflichkeiten 1 zu 1 ins Deutsche übernommen werden können. Wie würdest du die Gruppe Weg / Hochzeit / Blüte / Heroin nennen? Eine Gemeinsamkeit ist ersichtlich. (3 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #47842: Nice (3 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #47868: Good, but need to expand the solutions a bit. "Injuries" accepted but not "injury"! (3 years, 7 months ago)

PomPom @ #47451: A little cheeky, but a good challenge nonetheless (3 years, 7 months ago)

PomPom @ #47637: This was fun! Confused the musical notations for piano terms but otherwise it was a good cracker (3 years, 7 months ago)

Adam Langstaff @ #47867: I'M OFF TER RUGGER TONIGHT!!! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jacob Brennekle @ #47842: Great grid guys. I'm gonna go ahead and use it for my Ranorex training course. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #47730: @ gridlington ;-) was going to make another on the sane lines but might wait for yours now (3 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #47842: @jack thats fair... although its called cluedo over here. The fact that i know that from playing grids here tells you how often this group comes up... grid was nice but very straightforward (3 years, 7 months ago)

Stephan @ #47835: Good grid (tricky in the time) (3 years, 7 months ago)

A @ #47858: A couple of these are inaccurate: Bon Iver and NIN are both bands with more than one member The BeeGees formed in Australia but they aren't Australian, same with AC/DC who are (mostly) Scottish (3 years, 7 months ago)

Stephan @ #47839: Good grid (3 years, 7 months ago)

HarryRae @ #47853: @SeedyEm ah apologies! (am enjoying practising 'roe-arr' out loud to myself now..) (3 years, 7 months ago)

SeedyEm @ #47853: Feeling a bit hard-done-by with the animal noises. My Scottish accent was a distinct disadvantage! :P (Roe-arrr instead of rohr, and back with a scottish 'Loch' sound at the end rather than Bahk) Good grid all the same :) (3 years, 7 months ago)

JackSlack @ #47842: Plum etc. desperately needs “Clue” as a connecting word instead of Cluedo. (3 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #47799: Not only a fun grid, a generous one too (it gave me the point even though I put Steps for one group). (3 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #47817: Fun to solve as a non-spanish speaker. Thanks. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #42854: Can swap Check and Black. 'Talking' doesn't quite fit the category, an 's' is needed. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Vic @ #46908: This was a fun one! Thank you! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #47782: (3 years, 7 months ago)

Roger Wilco @ #47840: They're not really units of currency in the US. They're the names of coins (yes, there's a dollar coin, though 'penny' would be a better name for the coin than 'cent'). A 'nickel' is just the name of a 5c coin. (3 years, 7 months ago)

VCM @ #47822: Yes I agree. I solved the grid and got 3 answers given as incorrect. (3 years, 7 months ago)

VCM @ #47840: Well I enjoyed it. Can you hear me Mister Tom (3 years, 7 months ago)

Scoobydont @ #47822: Agree with previous two comments but it was a good grid (3 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #47840: Thanks for setting. Unfortunately the mars crossover has rather been done to death (3 years, 7 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47822: Yes, you need to check your accepted words. No point for "Captain Scarlet Angels". I'm not really sure what else I could put. Also prostitutes, woman, women not accepted. (3 years, 7 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47843: I don't think there is a unique solution to this. Tomato and cranberry can be swapped (and probably lemon too). (3 years, 7 months ago)

gridlington @ #47730: Excellent! Finished it with 3 seconds to spare! Was just creating one in exactly the same style - will have a to change a few now! 😄 (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #47837: Pretty good (3 years, 7 months ago)

Sarah @ #47839: Amazing! (3 years, 7 months ago)

gridlington @ #47839: Nice one! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #47819: Great grid, much enjoyed. Lumiere approved! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #47730: Fantastic grid! Really got the mind working! Lumiere approved! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (3 years, 7 months ago)

Sarah @ #47839: Cool (3 years, 7 months ago)

SeedyEm @ #47830: Really nice. A few I didn't know, but managed to guess! (I reckon your answers to the 'followed by' and 'preceded' are back to front, but no biggy :) (3 years, 7 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #47803: Superb, both idea and execution. The Children and It group had me utterly kippered! Great fun TY (3 years, 7 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #47730: Great fun. Needed the extra minute, because of the red herrings... 5* and TY (3 years, 7 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47823: Good fun. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Shanu @ #47797: Homophone is a valid answer (3 years, 7 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47824: Good red herrings. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Busman @ #47819: Good one ty. (3 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #47797: Nice. (3 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #47793: Nice (3 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #47819: Simple (3 years, 7 months ago)

bram corner @ #44800: Chess one I got at the end, didn't know the underground one or the oxford one, not from England after all... (3 years, 7 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47803: @Mister Tom I think the Sherlock Holmes novel is called "The Sign of the Four" but it looks as though both variants are listed. Anyway, great fun and (at least) ten minutes would have helped me. :) (3 years, 7 months ago)

bram corner @ #33026: News worked as a solution for minute-mets-times-city, surprisingly (3 years, 7 months ago)

fred @ #46922: i adored this quiz only didnt get one of them but the rest were easier! (3 years, 7 months ago)

PJ @ #14182: Incorrect answer - Mr Heckles was not a landlord (3 years, 7 months ago)

Feza @ #37890: Good red herrings! I kept trying to put London in the eye group! Nice one. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Feza @ #28448: I agree with the Cluedo comments. Good one, thanks. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Julia @ #35412: Cool. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Feza @ #14499: Hadn't heard of butter beans, but managed to get full marks. Nice red herrings! Well done! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Julia @ #47819: nice. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Feza @ #21012: Got it in half the allotted time, but had to work for it! Nice grid. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Julia @ #47823: Enjoyed this. Helps to be old enough to remember a shilling/bob. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Feza @ #37058: Annee, tuner sounds like tuna if you're Australian :) (3 years, 7 months ago)

Feza @ #39584: 10/10 but I had to make a lot of guesses because of red herrings! Good grid. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ade @ #47791: Brilliant. Thank you (3 years, 7 months ago)

Feza @ #683: Never heard of Loonie in that context! Nice grid. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Feza @ #1942: By an amazing coincidence, my first puzzgrid, 47476, which I recently created, had the same 4 members in the 'Kent' group and I had not yet seen this one! Nice grid. (3 years, 7 months ago)

PomPom @ #47791: 6/10! this was a really good one to sink my teeth into. got stuck at ice (pop)!!! (3 years, 7 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #47823: Nice grid! Knowledge of 'old money' can help you here, thanks. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jmelb @ #47824: All fixed - so obvious - don't know how I didn't notice it! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jmelb @ #47824: oops! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #47824: Please correct spelling of tortoise. I thought it was deliberate so it confused me! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Enzed @ #47822: A bit more tolerance on answers would be nice. Angels and Women weren't accepted (3 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #47793: A nice grid with a couple of twists to keep it fresh. Thanks for setting it! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #47730: @ Maartjebsbes that's one i hadnt even intended! But there are 3 that I had- if you add the words that are in the stated solution, 3 of them are red herrings for another group. Which 3 is an exercise for the reader. I Wouldn't do you a grid without herrings :-) (3 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #47803: Maybe I should have given people 10 minutes ;-) One never really intends the things to be unsolvably fiendish. The sign of four is one of the 4 Sherlock Holmes novels. I've not heard of the other one. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #47730: Only one red herring there Brian green, green day. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #47821: Famous naturalists or TV naturalists? Plus there are many answers for the men's names including people called banks, England 1966 world cup team, and Labour cabinet of 1997. I guess the latter were puppets so it's covered. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #10577: Very nice but quite simple. Red herrings across all four. For other, whether a light ray is a 'thing' is a very good question, as it can ambiguously be either a particle (thing) or a wave (ray). But 'light ray ' is certainly a term used in physics and indeed in literature e.g. Milton (3 years, 7 months ago)

PomPom @ #47551: 5/10. was stuck on the types of bees and stitches. thoroughly enjoyed it still. (3 years, 7 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #47810: 7/10, excellent and tricky grid, thanks! (3 years, 7 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #47776: Water crackers are made by Carr's (3 years, 7 months ago)

Sean @ #45572: Quite simple, but rewarding. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Sean @ #39832: Excellent grid (3 years, 7 months ago)

Sean @ #43118: Excellent red herrings. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Sean @ #30823: The suits was amazing. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Sean @ #30523: Palindrome fakeout was amazing. This feels a lot like an Only Connect grid. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Sean @ #37161: The time category is diabolical. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Sean @ #44401: That tie category is phenomenal. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Sean @ #31115: I knew my guess was wrong, but for the "contact" one, "Total" was an acceptable answer (which I guessed for "Recall" to be cheeky). This might need to be fixed. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Sean @ #35391: Ages are measured by technical advances or major events. (3 years, 7 months ago)

aman @ #47776: water crackers? (3 years, 7 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47803: Got some of it on the fourth go with the help of a spreadsheet. :) Should "The Sign of 100" be "The Sign of the 100" or is there a different book? (3 years, 7 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47804: Nice cross-overs. (3 years, 7 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47805: Fun. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Kazza K @ #47803: Excellent grid, worked out most of the connection topics, but couldn’t quite find them!! Fun to do :) (3 years, 7 months ago)

Duncan George @ #47778: Jesus didn't have a Brother - he was allegedly the only son of God (3 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #47797: It's buffay (3 years, 7 months ago)

barry wobble @ #47797: great. homophone not homonym (3 years, 7 months ago)

sib @ #47792: Polo mints were invented by Rowntrees not Nestle (3 years, 7 months ago)

Sean @ #37331: Loved that both pronoun and possessive were acceptable. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Sean @ #43205: Excellent red herrings (3 years, 7 months ago)

Sean @ #35536: Great grid. I might recommend taking out the incredibly obvious "magellanic clouds" and replacing it with something more esoterically related to galaxies that could sound like something else. Virgo, Sculptor, Pegasus maybe? (3 years, 7 months ago)

Sean @ #39620: Excellent puzzle with multiple paths. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Sean @ #32225: Who cares about the "rules"? Most grids are pretty easy if you know the "rules". Anything that makes you think outside the box is good, and this grid dares to do it. Pretty easy, but absolutely loved what it did. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Malcolm @ #2492: I don't think it should accept just tennis or tennis stars, they are too narrow- they are all British Wimbledon winners, which is a quite specific subset of both of those (3 years, 7 months ago)

Sean @ #47326: The amount of red herrings in this is phenomenal. (3 years, 7 months ago)

steph @ #33621: Damn, I got 10/10 on a Lorna grid! proper chuffed (3 years, 7 months ago)

Julia @ #47756: Cool. More please! (3 years, 7 months ago)

LucasPriest @ #47791: Go hIontach! Couldn't think of ice (pop) idol for ages, complete blank LOL! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Christo @ #47791: Excellent, loved it. (3 years, 7 months ago)

J Silberman @ #47790: If you like this one (I did although I scored badly) try 41834. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Sean @ #36840: Excellent red herrings (3 years, 7 months ago)

Sean @ #34868: Excellent grid, but you should replace B with War. B is a little esoteric for adding lock to it, and war would be a great red herring for battle. (3 years, 7 months ago)

JerseySue @ #47753: Thanks - really enjoyed this. Could the orpan line also be protagonists? (3 years, 7 months ago)

paul @ #47779: I dont think you understand what silent means. P, g, and h are part of digraphs, they are not silent letters. e modifies the vowel sounds. (3 years, 7 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #47744: Very nice grid, thank you! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ellie @ #47744: I don't want to nag or badger but I was annoyed to not be allowed 'bother' (3 years, 7 months ago)

JMT @ #47730: Nice, not as seamless as Ducky though (3 years, 7 months ago)

Irish Annee @ #28959: Nice crossovers, not too taxing. 10 outa 10 (3 years, 7 months ago)

Irish Annee @ #30596: Nice. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Irish Annee @ #43942: Good grid - not too obvious and not too hard (3 years, 7 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #47766: Great grid. Loved Toy Story group!! Ty. (3 years, 7 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #47768: Good grid. Pretty difficult! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Kazza K @ #47730: Love this grid :) (3 years, 7 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47768: Loved it (but got nowhere near solving it). I obviously don't pay enough attention to the crossword setters at the Guardian. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #47768: Top marks for the composers. Guardian crossword setters really very obscure (3 years, 7 months ago)

Amen @ #47625: Thanks all for the feedback. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Bingo Little @ #47625: Some nice connections (3 years, 7 months ago)

Loin El Richie @ #47730: Yes. Got that with one second too go. Perfect. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Victorf @ #47625: That's what a good grid should be. A bit of a theme, one red herring, some high, medium and low brow. (3 years, 7 months ago)

jonboy @ #47760: Nice. Didn’t spot the Song group’s connection. (3 years, 7 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47759: Nice start. :) (3 years, 7 months ago)

jonboy @ #47730: Nice idea. No crossovers but still fun, thanks. (3 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #47562: Clever (3 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #47595: Nice (3 years, 7 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47733: Clever. (3 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #47628: Way too obscure (3 years, 7 months ago)

HarryRae @ #47721: The D___ Connection inspired me to make a whole new grid off the back of it (47734) - I hope you don't mind !? (3 years, 7 months ago)

HarryRae @ #47734: With thanks to Nikkidemas Grid #47721 that provided a connection that inspired the whole grid! (3 years, 7 months ago)

HarryRae @ #47733: I've borrowed and replaced one connection from grid 47626 so I could have two opposing animal grids! (Let me know if there are any better suggestions for the Yak group I'm not sure if i'm fully happy with it..) (3 years, 7 months ago)

koshatnik @ #47629: A fun challenge, thank you! (3 years, 7 months ago)

CKJ @ #47721: Dozen seems like a reasonable unit of measurement for eggs and doughnuts, @christobal. I entered “amount” and got a point. (3 years, 7 months ago)

yeah @ #46742: yeah. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #47694: Easy but enjoyable. (3 years, 7 months ago)

gridlington @ #47694: Ha! Very good! Easy but fun! (3 years, 7 months ago)

christobal @ #47721: Hmm... the only unit of measurement in that line is a bushel (8 gallons). The rest are just numbers; Score=20, Dozen=12, Gross =144. (3 years, 7 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47706: @RSUD What animal does capers begin with? (3 years, 7 months ago)

RSUD @ #47706: Capers and horseplay can be interchanged. So the solution is not unique. (3 years, 7 months ago)

jonboy @ #47688: Nice grid. Saw the 4 connections but couldn’t resolve the groups in time. Thanks (3 years, 7 months ago)

haywood @ #47683: Not bad at all. "Schindler's" is too much of a giveaway though, only possibly refers to one thing (although I do believe there are elevators/lifts by that name... hmm, gives me an idea for a future red herring) (3 years, 7 months ago)

haywood @ #47699: Great grid with some quality red herrings, but "setup man" is not a P.... in B... and Closer, while the term is used for a certain kind of other P... in B... is not in itself a P... in B... either. So for me it was fatally misleading, having recognised the other two. (3 years, 7 months ago)

CJ @ #21347: Peanuts is not a character in the comic strip. According to Wikipedia, "Schulz hated the title Peanuts, which remained a source of irritation to him throughout his life. He accused the production manager at UFS of not having even seen the comic strip before giving it a title, and said that the title would only make sense if there was a character named "Peanuts"."

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #47637: Ah, a fantastic grid. Some challenging clues, though I got the French connection with ease ;) Lumiere approved! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #47638: I'm not too familiar with this new-fangled electronic music, but I got there with a little help from my Grandson, Dominique! Lumiere approved! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #47638: (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #47642: Wonderful as always Cool_ Lumiere approved! (TAL-32 ✊) (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #47629: Wonderful grid! Lumiere approved ! (3 years, 7 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47631: Don't think Jasmine quite works; "Infamy" would be better? (3 years, 7 months ago)

Khitty @ #47607: Was thinking the category as 'first names of US presidents', so 'Benjamin' would've been Harrison. Aw man. (3 years, 7 months ago)

CKJ @ #47607: I got all the groups, but missed two of the answer links. Fair and fun. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jane @ #47601: I lost a point for putting “shops” instead of “stores”. Enough with the Americanisms! 🙂 (3 years, 7 months ago)

VCM @ #47574: Good fun (3 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #47626: A lion is not a gryphon. There's some lovely groups there, but play fair (3 years, 7 months ago)

FraserMc @ #47594: Very good - took me a while to spot what was going on. (3 years, 7 months ago)

quodlibet @ #47607: clever use of distractors (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jennifer @ #47445: Hmm. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Chester @ #47624: Nice one (3 years, 7 months ago)

Feza @ #47626: Tough but fair. Only 1/10 and I needed to be told the connection of one to get the other! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #47609: A nice misdirect. I found it very challenging but perhaps that's just me. (3 years, 7 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47623: Good fun, particularly liked the butcher group. (3 years, 7 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47624: Fun. Good cross-overs. (3 years, 7 months ago)

HarryRae @ #47608: So Good! (3 years, 7 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47620: I feel bad that I needed to look up what went with Ummagumma and Animals. :) (3 years, 7 months ago)

JackSlack @ #47620: @Feza; that’s good feedback. I’ll fix the clue! (3 years, 7 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47607: Tricky. Plenty of red herrings. (3 years, 7 months ago)

JackSlack @ #47620: @Feza; that’s good feedback. I’ll fix the clue! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Feza @ #47620: Well done! I can't believe I missed the 'Wall' connections! :( It didn't give me credit for 'synonym' in the 'Pry' group :( Go Aussies! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Robert Pringle @ #47507: Preakness was first winner of Preakness Stakes??? What an incredible coincidence. Takes place on Saturday by the way. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Mark @ #47601: It's TK Maxx (3 years, 7 months ago)

Mark @ #47605: Bands doesn't make sense, they're not spelled correctly. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ade @ #47516: Loved this grid. Made me smile. Thank you so much j (3 years, 7 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47575: @Dogms Thank you! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dogms @ #47561: Nice. Took a little while to see what it was about, but very clear and easy once I had. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dogms @ #47575: Really good grid. Enough red herring to make it interesting and a good variety of categories. (3 years, 7 months ago)

JackSlack @ #47620: I always wind up making the grids harder than I think they are. 😀 (3 years, 7 months ago)

JackSlack @ #47597: I like this a lot! The food theming is a fun idea, all four categories are pretty well considered, none of the inclusions feel off base. I will say I think your doctors testing keywords may be a bit broad, as I was marked correct for a wildly off-base guess. But I liked it! You deserve a stronger rating. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Feza @ #8441: I did the same as Jeff - didn't find a single group, but got all the connections! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dogms @ #47584: The groups don't quite work - there are several interchangeable items. Crown could be double, triple or quadruple, to make well known phrases. Digits can be single, double, triple etc. Cream can be single or double. Bypass surgery can be single, double, triple or quadruple. Having several that can be directly swapped without affecting the theme of each group, makes it an exercise in luck rather than knowledge and reasoning. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Oren @ #47605: This is one of my favorite puzzles! But please add "clue" as an acceptable answer, that's the American name for "cluedo". (3 years, 7 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #47552: Nice grid, thank you! (3 years, 7 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #47557: Nice challenging grid, thanks! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ellie @ #47595: The name of the (ex) Stranglers lead singer is Hugh CornwEll. Nice easy grid otherwise :) (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ellie @ #47605: 'Bands' not okay for the bands group? Duh! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Hypatia @ #47553: Nice grid! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Hypatia @ #47552: Should probably take "cabinet." (3 years, 7 months ago)

DerRtitter @ #10577: The possible answers for 'Parts of a rive' should be checked, I entered Fluvial as an answer and got it wrong. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Cajun @ #47436: Easy but fun (3 years, 7 months ago)

ratsupreme @ #47561: the rats approve (3 years, 7 months ago)

cora @ #47576: fun (3 years, 7 months ago)

cora @ #47528: fun (3 years, 7 months ago)

cora @ #47580: Also Oceania... (3 years, 7 months ago)

quodlibet @ #34942: Really liked the extra theme. Well done! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #47601: No tick-a-tape finish but gave myself the point anyway for gun makers. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #47574: Got that one! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #47566: Some clever but obtuse clues. I could see where it was leading but couldn’t sort the grid but got full marks for the connections. Thanks for a full explanation and for a testing grid. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #47507: The General group are also just occupations. Learned something about horses though. Thanks (3 years, 7 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47591: Niche! (3 years, 7 months ago)

steve @ #47576: did not put plurels so did not get full points, very poor (3 years, 7 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47601: Made me smile. :) (3 years, 7 months ago)

jonboy @ #47285: Really enjoyed it, thanks (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #47596: A gentle one from you POOKMAN6 TY (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #47589: No, if you are going to have two of the same, they must be in the same group otherwise........ (3 years, 7 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47584: Would "Quickly, At The" be better than "Quickly, On The"? (3 years, 7 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47576: You've spelt turtle incorrectly. (3 years, 7 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47580: You've spelt Australia and New Zealand incorrectly. I think that it's possible to edit it to correct it. (3 years, 7 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47571: Tricky. (3 years, 7 months ago)

gridlington @ #47569: Another good one! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Oren @ #47569: Very clever :) (3 years, 7 months ago)

gridlington @ #47566: Good grid thanks! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jo @ #1680: the UK nickname for £1 is quid, not squid. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Joe @ #47518: not good... (3 years, 7 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47562: Good fun. (3 years, 7 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47561: Enjoyed. (3 years, 7 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47533: @Ellie :D (3 years, 7 months ago)

Trundle @ #47561: Amazing. I had to have a second go, but when it all clicked I was delighted. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Feza @ #36949: Good, but got no credit for 'synonym'. (3 years, 7 months ago)

christobal @ #47561: Very nice thanks! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Feza @ #25921: Nice and easy, but not given credit for 'award'. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Feza @ #21449: I hadn't heard of twisting in terms of cards, so was lucky to get 10 points. Nice grid! (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #47562: Nice (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #47561: Nice (3 years, 7 months ago)

Busman @ #47553: Thank you. Nice. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Victorf @ #47561: 0/10. Ouch! Very well constructed. The connections were too well hidden for me. I like it. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #47561: Enjoyed those two grids. Thank you! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Sons Tridge Ker @ #47561: Easy but fun. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Robert Pringle @ #47562: Twat (3 years, 7 months ago)

Feza @ #47558: I stumbled onto the Bard one. Good red herring in the social media! Well done! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #47521: Excellent! (3 years, 7 months ago)

EKrake @ #47514: Good one! I lucked my way into a couple of categories. (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #47556: Very good (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ellie @ #47533: There was a young person from Porthcawl Who tried to solve a puzzle wall She screamed "what's a 'lime rick'? This must be a dumb trick!" Then realised it was *limerick* after all. (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #47549: Had me scratching my head (3 years, 7 months ago)

paul @ #47523: While XCIX is standard, IC was sometimes used in earlier use. (3 years, 7 months ago)

JMT @ #47549: Funny how they all pop back into you head (3 years, 7 months ago)

CKJ @ #47514: Tricky grid. Thanks! You might edit to fix spelling of pineapple. (3 years, 7 months ago)

CKJ @ #47551: 5/10 trickier than it first appeared. Thanks! (3 years, 7 months ago)

CKJ @ #47552: Enjoyable aha moments. Thanks! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Kelly @ #47551: This was a challenge! Each row had 3 gimmes, but the 4th was hard to find! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Kelly @ #47550: Pupil and iris — good red herrings! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Kelly @ #47529: Wow! (3 years, 7 months ago)

CKJ @ #47550: Nice! (3 years, 7 months ago)

koshatnik @ #47524: Enjoyed that one, thank you (3 years, 7 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #47538: Nice grid. Thanks (3 years, 7 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47543: Autumn is definitely legitimate; I've done far worse. :) (3 years, 7 months ago)

JMT @ #47543: I think autumn is legitimate : ) (3 years, 7 months ago)

JMT @ #47542: Nice and tricky, WD (3 years, 7 months ago)

HarryRae @ #47511: Ah thank you! Have changed one term to hopefully make more unique (3 years, 7 months ago)

HarryRae @ #47519: That's inspired me to change the whole grid ! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Steff @ #46876: thanks all, yes the spelling was a mistake, will make sure to double check next time! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Steff @ #47373: thanks all (3 years, 7 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47522: @stjohn Thank you! (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #47522: Damn Macmillan, and you can change your moniker now, the Margaret line was practised nasty. WD & TY (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #47538: I enjoyed that (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #47540: A cut above the usual WD TY (3 years, 7 months ago)

Em @ #47114: buenos wall! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Em @ #47511: agree with kathy (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ariane @ #30437: You need to know American sports teams names to get this one. Great set - lots of misdirection, interesting variety! (3 years, 7 months ago)

christobal @ #47502: It's graded as hard, but it's very easy. No red herrings. Like the cow group! (3 years, 7 months ago)

christobal @ #47538: Good grid, but for 2 points. There's a UK/US conflict in the spelling of the L-word. (But I saw you're from US, so we have to be ready for spelling differences!😄) And Sal - a boy's name? Not especially... (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #47531: I hear you gridlington however I would suggest that Lent (40 days) of abstinence and reflection (akin to Ramadan) would not count as holidays. This was my slight niggle with the answers given, not with the quality of the grid. Similarly the "Bloody" answer as "special"? Soory to go on, as I said "nearly a very good grid" Getting off my soap box now (3 years, 7 months ago)

Hypatia @ #47503: That's not what an acronym is . . . . . . . . (3 years, 7 months ago)

gridlington @ #47531: To be fair, "holiday" comes from "holy day", which they are, so it's a fair description. Good grid! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Hypatia @ #47529: Nice! (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #47523: Made me smile. I think I did an almost identical grid last year. Really enjoyed your version WD TY (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #47524: Loved it, beautifully infuriating (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #47531: Nearly very good. I solved the wall but I would take issue re "holidays". They are significant periods agreed. Loved the hidden group WD (3 years, 7 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47533: @stjohn Thank you! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Katherine @ #47511: just a 'p' also works, the 'im' is not necessary! (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #47533: I liked it, solved the wall then the groan with Rick WD TY (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #47530: Rhome .. :-) (3 years, 7 months ago)

Scoobydont @ #47517: Vitamin deficiency here - very B rate - failed mostly :-( (3 years, 7 months ago)

Scoobydont @ #47516: Head hurts but got there .... somehow! I’ll be looking out for similarly styled ones from now on ;-) (3 years, 7 months ago)

Scoobydont @ #47502: Very generous but confused - got 10 but failed to link the cow group! Happy though :-) (3 years, 7 months ago)

gridlington @ #47523: Oh yes, very nice one thank you! (3 years, 7 months ago)

LittleQuill @ #47510: Tony - that's true, but in Irish it's green (3 years, 7 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47523: @POOKMAN6 I think that people will know what is meant by it. It's a fun grid! (3 years, 7 months ago)

J @ #46943: All the musicals are also Tony Award winners for Best Musical. (3 years, 7 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #47523: Crikey, I've just googled it. Not pedantic, accurate! I didn't think it looked right... Every day's a school day ha ha, thanks! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Tony @ #47510: Glas is blue in welsh (3 years, 7 months ago)

J Silberman @ #47499: Sorry, CKJ. Just noticed that this overlaps a bit with your 47436. And also with Baron's 47520. Pure coincidences. (3 years, 7 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47503: Is Pakistan an acronym? (3 years, 7 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47525: Clever. (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #47373: Enjoyable (3 years, 7 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47523: To be pedantic, IC isn't a valid Roman numeral. (3 years, 7 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #47373: Great grid TY. 'End' frustrated the life out of me... All four possibilities in one! Got there but needed the luck. 5 stars, and more please! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Feza @ #47520: Tough one! Must have taken ages to come up with clues all starting with C! Well done. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Oren @ #47520: Very clever! But I think the connection for the "cats" group was a bit too genric. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jmelb @ #47516: Haha - trust me! I know my movie stuff. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jimdas @ #47414: No confetti cos I was so lazy I just put LOTR. Good one though, thanks (3 years, 7 months ago)

jonboy @ #47520: Harder than it looks, thanks (3 years, 7 months ago)

jonboy @ #47517: Nice one. Initially thought it would be too easy but then saw there were 5 vitamins! (3 years, 7 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #47432: Good with some niche categories (3 years, 7 months ago)

jonboy @ #47510: nicely done, just the right amount of potential confusion, thanks (3 years, 7 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #47436: Nice! (3 years, 7 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #38010: Good grid! (3 years, 7 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #47488: Nice! (3 years, 7 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #47508: 6/10. One tricky category, very nice! (3 years, 7 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #47507: Nice grid! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Victorf @ #47499: Nice red herrings. The hairspray line was a great idea. TY (3 years, 7 months ago)

Busman @ #47476: nice one. enjoyed it thanks. (3 years, 7 months ago)

aman @ #47503: Um technically, Gestapo isn't an acronym (3 years, 7 months ago)

God @ #47228: End yourself (3 years, 7 months ago)

Josh @ #46818: I don't think these categories are very well thought out. Swimming is also a water sport, and all the water sports are also summer activities, as are all the lawn sports. I would argue that indoor, lawn, beach and activities that require a boat would be better. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jeffrey @ #47503: Gestapo is more of an abbreviation than an acronym. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Feza @ #44363: Excellent difficult grid! (3 years, 7 months ago)

ratsupreme @ #47504: "i'll be RIGHT under their noses" great grid, animals were hard (3 years, 7 months ago)

EZ MONEY @ #47488: EZ MONEY (3 years, 7 months ago)

hm @ #23524: - the ellen show isn't a sitcom i don't think?? - the song title (?) category could also be words that end in letter sounds -- sAY (A), promisES (S), louIE (E), sugAR (R). that's how i got that one bc i've seen that kind of category on onlyconnect lol (3 years, 7 months ago)

hm @ #47468: another answer for the gems category could be steven universe gems -- the four of those are all gems that steven universe characters are based on (and jade isn't, which is how i got that category, although i guess it was for the wrong reason) (3 years, 7 months ago)

what is a cranberry bean @ #47288: cranberry bean??????? (3 years, 7 months ago)

steve @ #47488: very nice (3 years, 7 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #47489: 1. You do not put Justin Bieber in the same grid as above Dylan. Just don't, 2. China doesn't sound so bad now (3 years, 7 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #47488: Very nice grid with the full complement of red herrings. (3 years, 7 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47486: Being pedantic, the analogue times don't quite work, e.g. when the minute hand is on the six, the hour hand is half way between six and seven. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Joan @ #47478: I haven't tried these before, and was a bit perplexed? (3 years, 7 months ago)

Hypatia @ #47420: Should take vegetable (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jimdas @ #47451: I just couldn't get past the.... (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jimdas @ #47488: Good one thanks (3 years, 7 months ago)

Hypatia @ #47479: Nice grid, would be better if it took "system" in the singular. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #47474: Good stuff! Haven't seen you onhere for a while (3 years, 7 months ago)

Donnie @ #45449: When did President Grover serve? (3 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #47488: Perfectly fine,rather straightforward. Think the Cherokee group could have been better disguised with say, Sac, Fox or Huron (3 years, 7 months ago)

Andrew @ #47472: What's a veggie tale? (3 years, 7 months ago)

sib @ #47472: Veggie tales?? (3 years, 7 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #47481: Super grid (3 years, 7 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #47485: -et was a great one but downhill quickly (3 years, 7 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #47482: Nice red herrings (3 years, 7 months ago)

Grace @ #47440: Another brilliant grid! The connections were so closely intertwined....I got some and was halfway to the others! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #47476: Cecil B De Mille might not be the only link between those characters! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #47479: Pretty good Qs. Not sure what the red herrings were. 'Impatient' for hidden virtues is a bit cheap but overall a good tough grid (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dogms @ #47384: Emerald is also a programming language, so either ruby or jade could be swapped into the precious stones group, so I'm afraid the groupings don't work. They're only meant to have one possible valid solution- this had three, which made it impossible for me to depart the precious stones group from the programming language group before using all my lives/running out of time, except by random selection and luck. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Beauzo @ #47479: Good categories, but you may need to expand your tags. E.g let your buddy group accept the singular, and some extra synonyms for your impatient group (3 years, 7 months ago)

Alex @ #44919: Per Merriam Webster, plural of grapefruit could be grapefruits or grapefruit. I have never heard anyone refer to multiple grapefruit without the s on the end. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Feza @ #15859: Very good. Only got it by chance with 7 seconds to go! 10/10. Thanks. (3 years, 7 months ago)

JackSlack @ #47418: Actual trolling. There’s no constructive criticism to give. (3 years, 7 months ago)

JackSlack @ #47424: Nearly incomprehensible. Expecting people to know every lyric to pull out minor clues is beyond reasonable. (3 years, 7 months ago)

JackSlack @ #47432: Body cord is a piece of fencing (like, the sport) equipment. This one doesn’t deserve its low ranking. It has some very good category ideas and the inclusions are sensible. It’s not my favourite quiz ever but it’s better than it’s been ranked. (3 years, 7 months ago)

JackSlack @ #47456: Agreed with the others. The notions for the categories here are good; but several of the inclusions are dubious and it lowers the sense of fairness. (3 years, 7 months ago)

CKJ @ #47440: This puzzle provided Satisfaction. (3 years, 7 months ago)

JackSlack @ #47463: Sadly, I have to concur with the low rating. There’s too much niche knowledge for a lot of this (Gravity Falls is great but it’s not so mainstream as to expect it as a viable category) and two other categories mix your terminology about. Yes, Sofia is a capital city and investment expenditure is ‘capital’ but its stretching the category beyond a reasonable level - and you do it twice. I think your puzzles would be better if played more straight. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Khitty @ #47456: @christo 'Light' as in 'headlight'. That threw me, too. I thought the category was types of shades. Never heard of a steel wheel or an alloy wheel before, and I've only head 'spare tire' and never 'spare wheel' (3 years, 7 months ago)

RuddyKipper @ #47415: Categories are good but the explanations need fixing - I failed for putting chocolate instead of chocolates, metals instead of elements, and stationery (which I think is misspelled on the answers as stationary) Chocolates needs to be listed as chocolate, candy, sweet etc, the elements as metal, element etc (3 years, 7 months ago)

Andrew @ #3712: (3 years, 7 months ago)

the corrector @ #47215: Australia New Zealand and Canada are monarchies and Elizabeth is their queen. Wisconsin Iowa Missouri and New jersey should be recognised as states (after which the ships were named). Black Clover is widely known as manga anime. It is like saying a TV theme tune is a song in its own right. (3 years, 7 months ago)

puzzgridfan @ #47212: Generally a very nice grid, though the answer "synonyms for mess" could do with a few more terms so that other correct answers are admissible; e.g. disorganised, chaos, jumble, fiasco, etc. (3 years, 7 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #47195: Great fun, took me right to the wire! Top grid TY (3 years, 7 months ago)

J @ #47100: Rly great (3 years, 7 months ago)

J Silberman @ #47204: * Absolutely no snooker knowledge required! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Donna @ #47198: @freddgar You’re right. It’s fixed now! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dogms @ #25690: Good grid, plenty of red herrings, and all the groupings really work logically and aren't ridiculously contrived. I was lucky to separate the groups with half a minute to spare. Really struggled to find the connection for the last group, but got it just as I was going to give up. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Donna @ #47198: @freddgar You’re right. It’s fixed now! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dogms @ #25697: Good grid. I took a while to see what it was getting at, but once I twigged, it fell into place very quickly. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Busman @ #47181: Good one thanks. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Busman @ #47191: Enjoyable thanks. You might want to check the instructions about listing key words. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dogms @ #25700: Solved it, but sorted the last two groups by pure luck (never heard of that band in my life, so was onto my last life and randomly chose the right ones for the other grouping). (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dogms @ #25702: Great grid. The 'lucky' group also works as a 'falling' group - the two less obvious ones are a spell/skill in World of Warcraft, and the other is the same as the Hagberg number, used in grain analysis. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Busman @ #47198: Very nice. I will need to raise my game😀 (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dogms @ #25739: The 'venomous' group are also all superheroes/heroines/villains, if preceded by 'The'. All the aquatic animals named are edible - though I've never eaten crocodile. (3 years, 7 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #47163: @bob thanks. I made a last minute edit and forgot to update that. All sorted now. (3 years, 7 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #47163: Preempting comments about a very close similarity of one of the groups to LittleQuill’s recent wall this was ENTIRELY a coincidence. What are the odds? 😂 (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dogms @ #47022: Uberwald is a region, not a city or town, I'm pretty sure Lancre is a Kingdom /country (which might only be made up of a village and a castle),the other two are cities and city states, but 'places on Disc world' wasn't accepted as an answer. (3 years, 7 months ago)

paul @ #47012: Not sure I agree the Ts are all silent, but good grid! (3 years, 8 months ago)

clockwork58 @ #47019: Very good ta (3 years, 8 months ago)

SeedyEm @ #46999: Tough one for a non LOTR person like myself. (Also - 'R' missing from Know your limits) Not a bad grid overall - quite fun. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46988: Not very tough, but most enjoyable all the same! Thank you kindly, POOKMAN6! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #47015: Really nice to see you doing these. Always wonderful things in your grids even if, as you know, I'm a bird brain on the references, LOL. Ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #47014: Lol Ducky that made me laugh. Tech-wise I rely heavily on my daughter (who thinks I'm a dinosaur). : ) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #47014: Planet, not plant (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #47014: You're definitely not getting thicker. I find everything hard these days. (Brain the size of a small plant, and yet my idea of tech support is standing at the bottom of the stairs and shouting ' here techie techie'. Am a hopeless case, a real bird brain.) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #47015: *For film buffs (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #47013: Nice one, ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46993: I really liked the theme TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #47003: I think you’ll find that those brands make more than just fridges. You could add home appliances or white goods brands. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #47004: Enjoyable TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #47002: Made a good puzzle :) ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

gridlington @ #47001: Well, I solved the grid in 1.30, but I couldn't solve any of the groups! I thought the clarice group were all fictional tv ladies, and Cressida group I thought Shakespeare. The others I guessed!😄 (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46988: Mmm, an easy one for me since I remember them all from when they came out :) ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

teacher @ #46962: sus (3 years, 8 months ago)

Scoobydont @ #46952: Streuth! Got the groups but I was in the Outback looking for the connections! Nice :-) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Scoobydont @ #46978: Good one but gave myself 10 as “pop album titles” was not taken :-( Hope you will adjust for future grids - don’t worry we’ve all been there! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Scoobydont @ #46980: Cha cha charmin’ - got stuck on this ... sooo close :-) nice one (3 years, 8 months ago)

Busman @ #46977: too hard for my little brain but ty. (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46971: 4/10, for me. Some still need a bit more clarification for me (and please do not give away anything by replying) e.g. what is the control thing next to bow, why a pict of Steve then the leg and map ref, and why circle the Irish flag, and for images of 4 Dick va - oh just got that one. TY Smiley (3 years, 8 months ago)

bface @ #46952: Perhaps the flags aren't specific enough. Because these are not homophones in all UK dialects. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46988: Ah, my generation. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46986: Oh dear, not again, didn't hit e! Thanks stj. I tend do things in a very speedy way and not check if I have made errors - thank goodness for you : ) (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46988: 7/10 for me, The Blood of line ?? for me, quite a melancholic motif TY POOKMAN6 (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46989: Loved it! A right "mashie". No need to "spoon" feed the answers to "driver" the point home to "putter" the likes of Joe in picture. TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

Joe @ #46987: Not good. I know a lot about star wars.. but never heard of 21-B (3 years, 8 months ago)

JMT @ #46955: I did quite well, surprisingly! (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46955: Could not find a suitable flag (this seemed closest and most apt) This will put you linguists to the test. Do not think this grid will stay around too long, but never mind. Bit o' fun as they say (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46926: I do love maps and usually it's one thing I can do. Another thing that got worse lately. Wish I could just go and drown my sorrows somewhere. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46952: Whole lotta Sirius! What to do?! Maybe some PG tips will sort me out? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46938: WD TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46941: Good TY, I think potentially FYC and TMBG could also fit lit group as the FYC film was based on The Bixby Girls novel and TMBG was originally a play? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46942: Tough having never watched Game Of Thrones but struggled through TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

LucasPriest @ #46902: Good one! I was so close to a full score but didn't take the time to study the last group properly and put 'over', going by the first three and missing out 'mull'. Really good grid. (3 years, 8 months ago)

clockwork58 @ #46901: Very good Thanks (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46891: All too clever for me 🤦‍♀️ The more I looked at it the more bamboozled I got. I'm just not clever enough!!! Think I might retire from cryptic (never a forte) and just stick to the grid making. At least I can do that! LYLsx (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46893: Nicely woven, ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46895: Varied! ty (Nice to see you BTW) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46900: Ooh, hard but fair TY! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46897: Themes are fun TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #46876: I think I would have got this if hail had been there instead of hale (3 years, 8 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #46899: Only just realised there is two 'doors' once I've uploaded this... They do fit in two different groups. It shouldn't be too much of a problem, once you suss the links. Enjoy anyway (3 years, 8 months ago)

LittleQuill @ #46850: 5/10 - interesting concept! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Zaphy @ #46886: Ooh, I really like this one! Had some wonderful red herrings and taught me stuff (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46891: Bit of late night (or morning) fun depending on location (3 years, 8 months ago)

wegwwgwe @ #46835: The Minecraft mobs category is incorrect as the "ghost" in Minecraft is actually called a "Ghast" (3 years, 8 months ago)

ABC @ #38074: Gold and Silver could be swapped and it would still work. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46876: True but still fun (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46877: Thanks stj, much appreciated! We actually have to drive past those 'bogies' to get to our little family place in the country lol Did you know Glenrowan was Ned Kelly territory? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #46835: Lost a point as I used the English colours and another for knowing nothing about Minecraft but seeing things associated with Halloween (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46871: Not too difficult - but depressing! I say no thanks to random splits. I think they are clever enough to stand on their own merits. I do enjoy this format TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

ABC @ #46835: Is that supposed to say "ghast"? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46867: I thought that was what you were doing - but still couldn't work it out! Excellent! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46845: I can't disagree with that gridlington, give yourself the point (3 years, 8 months ago)

Lux @ #46876: Nice job overall, but the relevant linked word should be spelled 'hail' rather than 'hale'. (3 years, 8 months ago)

gridlington @ #46845: Very good! (Altho none of the Vigour line are synonyms for "strong". Strength, yes - but that answer was not accepted.) (3 years, 8 months ago)

gridlington @ #46791: Very good thanks! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46850: Mmm David. I see Dyson's point too as I get older. However, Tolkein was trying to create a myth, which can be used culturally for communication. See the ST:NG episode Darmok. And the LOTR film quote: You have my sword....and my bow .... and my axe. (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46871: 😆😆 (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46871: You're right stjohn. Used to have infallible spelling but not any more :( (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46878: Just read Ducky's comment and realised what she meant Doh!! again (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46878: Yup! Do not know why the second light did not come on till to late. Very Good Well Done and thank you (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46878: Love a theme. Eeks and aches! Ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46867: Well I need to brush up on my languages would have sworn kohl and carbonniere belonged to the other. So would never have solved the wall WD and Thanks (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46874: Obs, the words ' Gob the size of Wales' occurred to me long ago. You wouldn't be the same without it :) Ty for the grid. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46877: Have got to brush up on my Aussie geoggers. Not a clue! WD stjohn ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46874: @Obs, not sure what you have said, but come back stronger and maybe a "new" man hehe (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46877: G,Day cobbers, let me know if I have come a guster and it is bull dust (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46874: Oh god. Just realised what I said. I'll take a break for a couple of weeks now. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Joe @ #46850: Very good! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Malcolm @ #149: To Feet, Nat & Chas N Dave:It's an Easy grid, so why make it more complicated by guessing weather patterns, these are simply winds.But it really doesn't matter - there's no prize, so if you know you're right, why bug the grid compiler? To Marlene: you typed in the wrong box darlin' - but never use any kind of loos in your hair (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #46871: Sick (3 years, 8 months ago)

asp @ #46821: Good catch, ABC. Fixed now. (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46871: I went through the selections and went "had that" had that" "think I've got that" "probably going to get that" etc lol. Has the other version of spelling diarrhoea now ceased? TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46871: Deepest sympathy. Re spacing, if they're as wordy as this the time taken to decipher is sufficient difficulty. Shorter ones, yes feel free to bamboozle us. TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46845: Tendon (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ain @ #46870: All logical. Made sense. A bit 'specialized' with the topics, though ;) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46840: Yes David they are the names of the awards ie the Brownlow Medal, the Archibald Prize, the Walkley Awards, the Miles Franklin Award. (3 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #46840: Thanks, good fun, with some guesswork needed by a benighted pom. Not a complaint, but I've read the answer to the Brownlow group and am none the wiser - the fields of each are mentioned but not the connection - is it prizes? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46867: Detention again scurrilous Obscurious! :) (3 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #46850: Good, fun grid (although I found myself in sympathy with Hugo Dyson). (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46867: Ouch, charbonniere & kohlmeise! And a whole load of bad puns to follow, but for once I'll keep my hands off. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Wes @ #46208: Tough one (3 years, 8 months ago)

Wes @ #46496: Like this one =) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #46858: The female archtypes link feels a bit obscure/tenuous, but otherwise a really good grid with an excellent mix of categories and good red herrings. Well done! (3 years, 8 months ago)

the chunguses @ #1396: this wasn't very insane of you, steven. however, your efforts are appreciated. whether you be in this realm or the next, we here at chungus incorporated hope you have a wonderful time of things. love, the chunguses. kiss. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ain @ #46860: Hard one. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46858: Shall look forward to seeing you lol (3 years, 8 months ago)

Busman @ #46838: Nice ‘one’. Enjoyed it TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

Busman @ #46848: Interesting. If only I knew my poetry. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46854: Sorry being stupid again. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46854: The Prize! Ha ha. That was the only complete line I got, although I was on track with the others, just out of time and forgot to refresh. My kind of grid. TY. (BTW the explanation still includes 3 under which I assume you changed.) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46845: extra x? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46852: Real flashes of inspiration there, ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

Busman @ #46850: Nice one (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46853: Oh Darling, You're Bloody well right. Now If you can Give a Little Bit From Now On, or it's Goodbye Stranger and I'll Take the Long Way Home. Enough School or I'm Just a Nervous Wreck. Thank you (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46850: I always do it, I waste half my time just admiring the construction and phrasing, then try to scramble through. Confetti but only just. 5* just for gentle/leap + 5* for the rest. TY. (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46834: Well chuff chuff me, not so chuffed about my score, I was on the wrong line completely TY Obs (3 years, 8 months ago)

Beth @ #46856: Tough one! Kept me on my toes (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46848: Did not know the Chance line. I think that's the loudest and longest reveal groan I've ever uttered, not at all in tune with the theme. Clearly I'm too prosaic. Brilliant. TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ain @ #46856: Tough questions but pretty good overall. Although never heard of anyone being called 'Arran' :D (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46834: Too local, no hope for me. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46847: Oh PLX, missed the conveyance there, even though it should have been the easiest. Definitely got on the BLNDRBSS. Got the flighty things and most of the edible ones (not LPC) and your trap with the arms worked as I was lost looking for projectiles. DCKY or JMB you have a LT T NSWR FR. THNK Y. (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46850: Got the confetti thankyou, but took a while as the first thing to catch my was "nuff" couldn't stop laughing. Total guess at the D&D LOTR etc references.. Smashing grid, thanks Ducky (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46854: Knew some but not enough to make a group. Will you be visiting Australia again today?? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46845: Don't forget the extra X as well. Puniness gave it away right at the start, so thanks for the quick confetti. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Oz @ #46840: Ducky, this is my Aussie morph, J : ) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46850: Most enjoyable, pleased with myself TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46846: As I've said before, you can really put a grid together! Ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46848: thanks Ducky, I think we can all use a bit of inspiration now : ) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46847: Well I just blindly blundered through that one! Tricky for me :) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46848: Powerful stuff. Just lovely :) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Chester @ #46833: Now you are starting to think like me, and you have my deepest condolences. Until you get better or treatment, wallow and enjoy. Thanks Obs (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46847: Agreed (3 years, 8 months ago)

Chester @ #46836: Super (3 years, 8 months ago)

Chester @ #46847: You may give credit to Ducky, but I think it only fair that you accept 99o/o of the blame. BLM S! Lol. Ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

ABC @ #46821: I typed "planet" for the planets one and it didn't take it. (3 years, 8 months ago)

annana @ #46838: Fun grid. The words ending with "one" also rhyme, so that could be an accepted link. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46836: We saw JTs FFt Uncommon Women at the Proms a few years ago. One of the women she celebrated was Marin Allsop who conducted these and the whole of the New World symphony without a score from memory. I popped that one into our self-set on-line quiz and then expanded on similar themes in the grid. (Whisper, whisper - Wikipedia disambiguation is my friend). I know how you do yours, because I've tried, but I do kindergarten while you do PHDs. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46806: Good morrow, stjohn (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46824: Very nice, I liked the shameless plug of your name ;) Five stars, much enjoyed! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46822: You have outdone yourself! Many stars for you but no confetti for me : D (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46827: Great grid! Lumiere approved 👍 (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46828: Very good (I particularly liked the juvenile animal connection), however I would argue that 'Faith' and 'Styles' are not common nouns and are, in fact, abstract nouns. Correct me if I'm wrong. Other than that, fantastic work 👍 (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46829: Much agreed, Obscurious, a very relaxing grid indeed. Perhaps the massage oil will be of the Eucalyptus persuasion 😼 (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46830: Absolutely brilliant grid! I have never played such a stupendous grid. The fine fellow who meticulously crafted this grid surely deserves to be knighted by all remaining monarchies! Bravo! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46833: 👍 (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46810: Fantastic grid! (3 years, 8 months ago)

JMT @ #46817: TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #46799: Much too much for me. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Busman @ #46812: Enjoyable. I spent way too long looking for deodorants thanks to Lnyx/Lynx:) (3 years, 8 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #46810: So good. I just looked at it blankly for two and a half minutes, then it clicked and I had to refresh to enjoy it again! 5* TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

Busman @ #46790: nice, although I need to visit the UK one day to do better with some of these grids:) (3 years, 8 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #46791: Thank you all! NB: The British rugby players are called the Lions. A British rugby player, singular, is just a lion. (3 years, 8 months ago)

J @ #46791: British rugby player? (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46814: Peace of Mad Era! loved it wd TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

jamesg98 @ #46786: Thanks for pointing out the misspelling! (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46812: My sort of grid. Lead me in one direction, then...... I did not think of it being 6/12 but DDay. TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

James @ #46812: Lynx spelt wrong! Otherwise great quiz :) (3 years, 8 months ago)

paul @ #46812: how is 9 the last root number? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46810: Even better than the last, if that's possible TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

PotatoSalad @ #23180: Definitely should accept "cat breeds" (3 years, 8 months ago)

Catherine Keir @ #30391: Very difficult, but made sense! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46812: thanks GavinJ, thought I put lynx, will fix. I thought its cardinal and root, however, will just leave it at root then. (3 years, 8 months ago)

GavinJ @ #46812: Onyx does not fit in the set. Cardinal numbers are an infinite set. There is not a last one. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46812: Got the devil and close to Ix, but like Ducky was desperately seeking motif. Twas another groan moment on the reveal. Well played. TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #46790: Great grids, plenty of crossovers! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46805: .... there, done that, bought the farm. Surprised Great Northern didn't feature. TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

Dogms @ #46799: Very frustrating. I could see what all four groups were before I'd sorted a single one, but just couldn't separate the last two from each other (was sure that one belonged in only one group, when it had to go in the other) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #46812: Excellent! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46799: Astonishing - still loved it even tho not a clue for most of it. Did manage the pink fairies. TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

Dogms @ #46786: I managed to sort and identify all the groups, but only sorted the 'minamalist' group because minamalist looked like a misspelling of minimalist, so I guessed it must have another word hidden in it (funnily enough, the 'wrong' letter wasn't part of the hidden word). (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46799: Tee Hee (3 years, 8 months ago)

Cajun @ #46677: The musk category is comprised of members of the gourd family, not melons. Well done otherwise (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46800: Solved the wall (don't know how) but pleased with that (3 years, 8 months ago)

Cajun @ #46707: Well done. No clue who JoJo or where her adventures gained renown but well done (3 years, 8 months ago)

jimdas @ #46675: Absolutely brilliant, loved that one thanks :) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46791: Confetti :) ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46783: Nice fun one ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46784: Surprisingly varied. Enjoyed that ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46770: Nicely woven and enjoyed the Rome line. Ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

Andrew Marsden @ #46748: It's all Greek to me! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Stephen Toyshop @ #46746: V enjoyable, although water and coffee could be interchangeable (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46768: TY bface and sib. Fixed now. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46782: A charming grid Smiley. Many thanks :) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46770: @stj & Aetees. I would have no quibble with the term had they all been famous people from history or more modern people famous for doing something serious. She just seemed out of place in that company who clearly fit the 'modern' definition. (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46780: Thanks for the confetti (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46778: Not bad TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #46770: Perhaps celebrity was the wrong choice of word. Would famous people suffice? (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46770: I think I must politely disagree with yourself and Obscurious and that she was indeed a celebrity in her lifetime, a state she did not particularly like. I think that the more modern "celebrity" status has diluted that term to almost meaningless in the sense of achievement. IMO no offense meant (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46770: I'm with my main man (or woman) Obscurious here, I wouldn't call Florence Nightingale a celebrity! Other than that, well done! Good grid! 🌜 (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46773: Nicely done, nice to see some old favourites (3 years, 8 months ago)

Chris @ #46737: Top__ was what did me in on this. Agree with Informantxgirl that changing "cran" to "goose" would make that one even harder. (3 years, 8 months ago)

sib @ #46765: whip ma whop ma-?? every day's a school day (3 years, 8 months ago)

sib @ #46768: I thought ganache was something edible not paint - should it be gouache? Good grid. (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46770: Very good indeed and educational to thank you Aetees (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46766: and to @Obscurious - tut tut! ;-) (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46766: @Ducky, you're brave, I got the collywobbles just researching the thing. (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46765: @Ms Pringle & @ Jo, - dear me, how can eye bee sew knot write. (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46768: Just the five for me, and I have to say bface is correct, but yours is far funnier. Thought pk was pinkie for ages. TY Ducky (3 years, 8 months ago)

Tom @ #46618: Please accept 'days' for the days of the week group (3 years, 8 months ago)

bface @ #46768: I think you meant "gouache" (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46770: FN a celebrity!? Fortunately that line picked itself, but that left the last 2 difficult ones and not enough options or time to figure it out (I would never have figured it out.) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Joe @ #46754: Admiral Dot? and Island? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46768: Couldn't decide whether to fingerpaint the scenery or a still life. Only 6 cos I went for finthingie and feature : ( otherwise quite easy. TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

regularCustardCream @ #22737: Great - 5 stars. Nice and satisfying to solve. (3 years, 8 months ago)

regularCustardCream @ #26719: Nice grid. Got all but the composers. Would recommend. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46765: Must be from Stoke. Whip ma was at the back of my mind but I couldn't get it to shuffle forward. Haven't been there for 50 yrs. Got the rhyme by chance, but didn't connect it. Love the homothingies. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46762: I almost put TC! stj consider it payback for 45012! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Robert Pringle @ #46765: How is a book a buck??? Pathetic (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46762: Right up my, and TC's alley. My feline's happily playing with confetti. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46755: Super. (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46762: 2 canids, 3 feline, 1 marine, 2 equus = 0 solutions wd J thanks for the 4 points (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46754: Great construction. Went for diving rather than gy - grr. Kept putting Pike in the wrong place as I'd (probably fortunately) never heard of Dot. (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46757: Damn, damn, damn could not sperate the two T's and then throw Rebel (Hancock) in the mix. Smashing J thanks 5* (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46755: And THAT'S how you do it! Made mine look clumsy, I bow deferentially to the doyenne. 5.5* WD TY Ducky (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46757: Wow. That Metro line was hard, but enjoyed the Bana. Needed subtitles at times! Ty J (3 years, 8 months ago)

JMT @ #46755: Seamless construction, classic Ducky style TY! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46754: Never realised the film one was so complicated. Nice quotes tho. ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

Dogms @ #39614: Good grid - I've never watched Avatar, so was convinced Polyphemus belonged in a mythical characters group, I knew that Vulcan, Volturnus and Janus were are all fictional planets, and thought Quirinus could be, so I was completely stumped when trying to sort out the Roman Gods and Fictional Planets groups from each other. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46751: Good one. Liked the loop line, ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46753: An extra star just for the sheer cheek of 'old'. ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

Hypatia @ #46739: So good! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46741: (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46742: Very good other than one point: rabbits are NOT rodents. Rabbits differ from rodents in having an extra pair of incisors and in other skeletal features. Rabbits, hares, and a few other species make up the Lagomorpha order. Other than that, well done, keep it up! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46744: Easy Robert Pringle, it wasn't too tough. LrdIntllct, I think you're doing a fine job- keep up the good work! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Robert Pringle @ #46744: R U Nuts????? You seriously expect anyone to solve this ? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46704: Very good, quite tricky! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46735: Clearly!! (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46735: working hic! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46711: Same here. Know the previous generation. Still, another boost for the old GK. Ty J (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46734: Thanks for giving it a try J. Especially first thing. I should do one nearer to home for you :) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46734: Well I gave it a go! All sounds very picturesque. (another early start for me) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #30982: I don't get points for 'racist insults'? Surely that's what Pom and Yank are. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46740: I'm quite proud of 4pts after 2 refreshes. Only completed one line and missed the wordy explanation. TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46735: 2.41 left - a new record for confetti. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46711: 7/10. The Mozzi line is a no-go area for me. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46725: Dang and I'd just finished groaning. 7/10. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46734: 7/10. Didn't know D. Thanks for the recommend. (3 years, 8 months ago)

fun @ #32739: that was fun. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46734: I suppose grids balance in different ways. With many you know the answer by the time you resolve the wall, others its more in working the answer out. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46735: Delightful LQ. Are you working on the hangover by any chance stjohn? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Informantxgirl @ #46737: Overall, good. I didn't know the Settlers of Catan one. I'd suggest changing "cran" to "goose" to make it even harder. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Barry Shitpeas @ #46429: Really good grid with nice variety and red herrings. Took me a while to get the powders and guessed the colonels based on mustard and klink. Not a DC fan, so that group was lost on me and really liked the prison slang, but never saw it. (3 years, 8 months ago)

freddgar @ #46735: very good 10/10 loved it more please :-) (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46735: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 very funny, loved it. Thank you (3 years, 8 months ago)

Joe @ #46692: very good.. (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46734: Solving the wall is relatively simple geography, knowing what kind of water feature you are looking for is another matter. WD. Seem to remember you have a liking for the outdoors. Thanks Ducky (3 years, 8 months ago)

Joe @ #46702: Good (3 years, 8 months ago)

Joe @ #46725: There is no Gilbert and Sullivan called Penzance. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Sugar factory expert @ #46730: Very funny! Congratulations! 🤣 (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46725: I'd groan louder but I've done the same:) Enjoyed that Ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #46701: Very good. A nice change of pace. (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46716: @Tonail, thank you, I wish you great happiness too! (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46727: Very easy you state and very easy it was, but no bad thing for that TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46716: Ta ta Obs, I'm about to venture out and work on tomorrow's hangover :-) (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46618: Some things there I had no idea of but I absolutely loved the cool free line - right up my street! Thank you (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46716: I find I have trouble with grids when I have a hangover (mine build up during the day after rather than recede) I should maybe say goodbye for today and save these great grids for tomorrow. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46719: Slarti's problem was that he couldn't really achieve either. Much like me with this grid. : ( Slarti also said 'everyone in the universe gets that' and then got on with collecting awards for Norway. Thanks for this and all your Norways. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46618: (3 years, 8 months ago)

Tonail @ #46716: Good one. Enough leads to make it work and it helped being a Trekkie. That episode was from 1967. Cupio tibi laetitiam (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46719: Thank you Ducky, have a nice day : ) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Joe @ #46701: good! (3 years, 8 months ago)

JMT @ #46704: A pleasure! (3 years, 8 months ago)

DH @ #46701: Great grid cheers (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46664: @ Jmelb - did you just miss the TP or are you not familiar? If the latter just try or try again. I know the fantasy format doesn't appeal to all, but if you can get past that the humour, humanity and wisdom in the writing is brilliant. Sorry for the lecture, maybe too many beers during tonight's quiz. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #36048: I would have played earlier but my time is limited so I only play a few favourites and I didn't know it was you. You're all so prolific and use so many names its hard to keep up. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46701: Took me ages to get the means of making the whisky, but once I did ... confetti. The story of many a man's life! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #36048: Ah, you found it. Sunnier climes (3 years, 8 months ago)

Tom @ #15695: Spanish verb tricky (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #37539: 36048 is the first one and easier. I only did a couple before now. I had to watch the spelling too. Really brushes up on my geoggers tho. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46695: Oh yes, I got it! So good that 'boy' in Latin is pooer:) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46704: No need to play again I just noticed a typo. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #36048: Missed only by mixing up my Ad with my Ae. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #37539: That was the toughest I've tried, all so close. Doesn't help that I can't spell the one beginning with G. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46704: Good grief man. That was rather brilliant! Ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46697: 7/10 that time. I put the northern sea before realising you were still stuck in the inlets. Loving the test of geographical awareness. (3 years, 8 months ago)

JMT @ #46701: Lots of fun TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

John Guilfoyle @ #519: is ani a bird? news to me!!! (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46695: If I may "PR! PR! PR!" you must translate otherwise you may be offended. (Sid James after meeting Amanda Barrie.) :-) 5*BTW (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46695: PDDL JMPR had me hopping around looking for kids games, FRNDS etc for quotes and SYNTHS looking for any word at all! BL MS line had me laughing (which is more than the originals ever did). I got no more than two of any line :( but look forward to future humiliations. Next time I'll remember to refresh so I can relish the puzzle for longer. 5* (3 years, 8 months ago)

PleaseSelectTheRabbit @ #46688: And I meant fiendish of course :) (3 years, 8 months ago)

PleaseSelectTheRabbit @ #46688: Devious! A lucky 4/10! (3 years, 8 months ago)

PleaseSelectTheRabbit @ #46684: Fun :) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46690: I love a numbers grid, but my post-prandial dip left me too slow to avoid the traffic. If I had used Occam's razor maybe I wouldn't feel so cut up. (3 years, 8 months ago)

paul @ #46690: Not sure stopping distances is really a category.... (3 years, 8 months ago)

paul @ #46681: Good one. Even though repeating out loud 'Princes Skate, Princes Skate, Princes Skate' didnt ring any bells! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46664: You're quite right, cristobal, they do. (3 years, 8 months ago)

paul @ #46689: good, but a few interchangables - horse race/racehorse, horse stud, (3 years, 8 months ago)

JMT @ #46689: Enjoyed that TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46680: @ Ducky - thanks, I'd miss the interaction too. And I do understand the need to explain. @ Jmelb - I set up the gag, you delivered the punchline. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ann Non @ #46689: Nice work. Although "race" could be a good addition - race horse, race master and master race. (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46689: That was great! "stroke" really enjoyed 5*ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46680: ps I could name some trolls but its not wise to give them airspace (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46680: Hey Obscurious, hope you know my comment was an attempt at humour. And stj, maybe you are not giving me enough credit with your names lol! Ducky you are a great gridder and a nice person x (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46680: @Ducky, I am quite relieved you do not need a list of my alter egos as I believe the comment's box is limited to 5000 characters :-) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46680: I know who you are now, Obs, it's Ok. I just needed to explain how I got into such a sorry state. I would miss your comments. I'm so sorry. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46680: If I have caused any concern at all I am deeply sorry Ducky. For your comfort, I am no more, no less than a great admirer of your grids and have been so as Foxy, Alien and Rick. I always comment to show appreciation in my 'attempt to be humorous' way. Please keep posting as I can still enjoy without comment if that suits you. Wishing you well without any need for further engagement, again if that suits. If there's any other way I can help, I'll try. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46680: Thank-you. Boris (who is real) told me not to show weakness, but I couldn't not say what happened. I don't need a list for you stjohn:) It was paranoia that built up over the last month and will just take time to get over. I'd like to know who you think any remaining trolls are, but it might not be a good idea to say? I'll just muddle along. (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46683: I take it you mean the grid failed? Agreed about the homophones, I was trying to inject a little (clumsy) humour. Oh well, never mind (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46684: I do like confetti :-) (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46680: hear hear J (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46680: Oh my goodness, this makes me so sad. Don't leave please. I understand the annoyance of trolls, having put up with them here (along with a couple of other undeserving souls.) In fact that is why I have to change names occasionally - because I find the criticism too harsh. Happily it doesn't take my 'band of brothers' too long to work it out. There are some here who's comradeship (and grids) I enjoy and so I stick around. If it is all too hard for you, then take a break but please trust that there are many here who are genuine boring people - just like me! (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46680: *will list (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46680: @Ducky - Oh I am so sorry to hear this. I and many of us have been the subject of mean, nasty comments by a few loathsome people who take heartless pleasure in despoiling things, pulling wings of flies or obscene graffiti etc. Because it is easy to change ones setters name or use an existing setter to make false grids or apply comments, it is very difficult to say for sure who is who. I try to look at the style, content and level of competency and play along. Jmelb knows many (not all) of my identities. J has also morphed a few times. If you wish I list ALL mine and be clear. However the MOST important thing is your health and well being. If you need to leave again for that sake, then do so. Know that you have PuzzGrid friends. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46680: I'm sorry Obs. I shouldn't have said that. Your grid was a major turning point. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46680: In my first messages I adopted online advice to not feed/engage the troll. Only puzzgrid could remove the habitat (the grid making). Communication needed to be clear and brief, IMO. I never expected comms from us within grids, because that would mean we potentially had to read troll grids with a nasty twist. When you started appearing I didn’t know if you were troll, or you following a new lead, not mine. I didn’t know how successful puzzgrid could be. I vascillated and worried constantly. Eventually I became ill and my family and doctor told me to stay off the site. I did for a while, but when I returned I just couldn’t read anything reliably. I saw multiple possibilities all the time. Mostly I was convinced most/all of you were trolls. So much more to this, I can’t explain it all. I still struggle with paranoia (for the first time BTW) and I just don’t know who some of you are. You think you were clear but it just wasn’t clear for me. ‘Never ‘goner’ give you up? ’ You, or a persistent stalker!! I took a leap of faith and I was shaking like a leaf. I’ll stay unless JMelb tells me that the consensus is for me to go. I can’t say how sorry I am. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Quizbeard @ #46682: Great grid - thanks! Just missed out on full score with my lack of Carpenters knowledge 👍 (3 years, 8 months ago)

JMT @ #46684: Very good! TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46680: Detention Obscurious! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Tonail @ #46683: Failed because of some of the questionable homophones. Thought it was going to be easy after the sparrow link! Ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46680: Confetti with 2 secs left. So many could have so many answers. My eye was caught first by Human/Teacher, so it took ages to get Biol out of my head. I'm going to play the cheeky student who thinks they know better than universally respected teacher and say that to avoid giving offence, perhaps using 'old' or 'new' might help and maybe having Vulgar/Lover? Ducks behind desk .... (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46680: Perfect, best yet I think. These pairings are 'pure class' but I agree with you about possible offence : D (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46675: Don't be put off as I was at fist sight. The puzz clicked for me too late but I really enjoyed it. WD TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46667: A tough one, to be sure! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46668: My good fellow Jean Charles du Chauvignon is a man of culture, it truly is a marvellous grid. Well done, Ducky! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46670: BIG up Obscurious! A LITTLE tough! I will be sure to recommend it to me BROTHERS and SISTERS! (3 years, 8 months ago)

paul @ #46670: Nice! (3 years, 8 months ago)

cristobal @ #46664: Didn't know any TP. Got a couple of lines, but to be picky, Shoo and skedaddle don't mean goodbye, they mean "go away". (3 years, 8 months ago)

Gridlington @ #46665: Very good, although the aggregate group was a bit weak... (3 years, 8 months ago)

Gridlington @ #46668: Nice one, thank you! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46668: Aargh. Same here. (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46668: Looking for deviousness where there was none. I should play the grid not the setter.. Thanks (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jean Charles du Chauvignon @ #46668: Another banger of a grid by Ducky! you have some new fans! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46664: Our female cats have all been named after witches. The last one was Tiffany, current is Kiki. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46664: My favourite is anything with the Nac Mac Feegle. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46664: Glad you enjoyed it. You're up early J! (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46667: Had me beat. Loved e ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #46664: Great. Fortuitously churning through my TP's at the minute, after watching GNG PSTL. INTRS TNG TMS still the best... (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46666: Yes, not bad (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46665: Very good, nice red herrings as well ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46664: I'll take 4/10, thanks Ducky. No TP for me thought they were dances (3 years, 8 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #46657: Nice concept. Sent me sideways! Spent a long time just staring at it... (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46664: Lots of fun! Lack of TP let me down. TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46657: Agreed, very hard but good TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46599: Thanks Geoggers. Much easier and very clearly watery. Just went a bit too far North of Bergen, so no soluble confetti. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Tom @ #27868: My god, i almost understood (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46657: Thanks Obs:) There are some obscure ones in there. A new format always takes some getting used to. Yesterdays one, under Geoggers, is easier. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46664: Brilliant. Only 5/10 because of time constraint, I was getting there but SSH and SH were really difficult. Extra star for featuring TP. 6*. I'll have to remember whisper my order in some restaurants! (3 years, 8 months ago)

ratsupreme @ #46223: ayyy nice grid bud keep up the good work signed, the rats (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46659: very good and the addition of a false group included wd ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #46617: Ha, thanks to both of yis, I've got a couple more nice and easy and fun ones coming... quick fixes, we'll call them! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46657: Gulp! That was tough. My compass dial is still spinning. Kept wanting to put the other side of the coast eg Cuba. Even when seeing what you were getting at, some of the those places were obscure. Should have got two pts but ended up with 0. Love the format, which I've not seen before. 5*. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Dave+1 @ #46653: 2pronged (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46632: It deserves a better rating than it has (3 years, 8 months ago)

JMT @ #46653: Nice job TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46653: I solved the wall and thank you. (err slingshot?) (3 years, 8 months ago)

JMT @ #46651: Good TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #39999: Sink me this was good (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46646: 2.37 left! I think that's a record for any grid I've ever done. Of course I spoiled it by misplacing one of the answers. If puzzgrid be the .... (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46566: 10/10 from me as well. (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #44983: Understood what was expected but could not link them. Once served Chantenays only for the customer to complain bitterly and effusively that they were tinned. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46642: Love your grids. The Double line is perfection. Hope you can cast off your troubles and keep on keeping on the up and up! (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #45080: very good (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46597: Took me an age to even see P&P then got the wrong connection, and then convinced myself SPR was site of winter Olympics (missed a P) Tough but good (3 years, 8 months ago)

JMT @ #46643: Well I liked it - though I only managed 2 lines (3 years, 8 months ago)

JMT @ #46647: Only managed the Fonda line. Nice TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46597: Shirley Mason and Sybil - be whoever you want to be Ducky - we is! (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46598: Fiendish on the Scottish play, plus Drpede, Desfa and Disht in Fr, It and Esp = 2 pay checks and still waiting to start a family perhaps for Dinky? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46597: Another of mine. Doris was against putting Jerusalem in, but Obelix thought it would reclaim the city to it's rightful place in our minds. Doris was right, this time. Think I'll just be Ducky now and leave the multiple personalities behind. (3 years, 8 months ago)

paul @ #46646: Haha - knew all the quotes, had no idea which plays 3 of them came from! Excellent! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46598: A product of my strange mind perhaps, but one of ours. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46646: Indeed stj, always a favourite for me! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46642: So glad you are coming out the other side : ) (3 years, 8 months ago)

JMT @ #46650: That ceviche line tickled me : ) TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46647: Good (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46646: :-) a return to your roots Jmelb (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46642: Glad you liked it, J. Body and mind have been in a bad place, but having taken a leap of faith, I'm getting there. Untouchables sounds apt?? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46646: Lovely! (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46643: Pretty interesting stuff in there TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

MrCob @ #46648: This grid is great. I love how many cities there are as it is an easy group but three of them go elsewhere. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46642: Loved it TY. Are your eyes poorly-I hope not. (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46640: As a puffer of long standing, got that one, no idea on other two lines and laughed at the reveal of UTC Lovely TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

JMT @ #46626: Well I liked it (just would tend to stick to either stage or real names rather than mix) (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46642: SO many possibilities I felt like an "untouchable" :-) 5* (3 years, 8 months ago)

JMT @ #46639: Clever TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #46642: You've asked me how I'm feeling before and I tell you I can't see clearly, at all. I take a leap of faith and join you. If this grid is what you want, go for it!!! You are all extremely able!! There are at least two others who can take the lead!! (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46600: Quality all the way Thank you Ducky (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #46621: Really think I hate you for this grid (in a friendly manner that is) 2 refreshes Could not and would not leave Wendy Craig and Dolly Parton alone 5.5* TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

Barry Shitpeas @ #46618: Lovely grid, great mix and not impossible like many others. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Barry Shitpeas @ #46628: Awful grid No variety in the groups (all either preceded or followed words) and lots of the snswers were tenuous. far too difficult. (3 years, 8 months ago)

JMT @ #46621: ps 5***** (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #46599: Different. Couldn't remember what the bodo one was called (3 years, 8 months ago)

puzzgrid @ #17330: Really good! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Deb @ #46536: Nice crossovers, though all the categories are of the same format ("add a word in front of each word in the group" format") (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Rishi Coupland @ #17330: Really good! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Deb @ #46581: Act OUT, take OUT (etc.) also works, at least in American English. Otherwise an excellent grid! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Khitty @ #46592: "Piggy" was a nice red herring. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Dee Dee @ #13139: please include the term 'anagram' as I believe many would use that as a valid response. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Dee Dee @ #11704: Nothing to solve, lazy grid. Just a case of putting names in groups because they're all had the same occupation. Nothing to work out here, you either know it or you don't. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Lily @ #46600: Great fun (3 years, 8 months ago)

JMT @ #46600: Wanted to settle down with a cuppa first, to enjoy this TY! (3 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #46599: Nice grid, thanks. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Malcolm @ #2318: Just done three of yours, all suposedly medium, but in reality they are very easy: nothing in the way of crossovers, so they are too easy to solve (3 years, 8 months ago)

Tonail @ #46608: Tie~DAL ? (3 years, 8 months ago)

verasteine @ #46571: Really enjoyed all the red herrings! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Timmon @ #46578: Little bit on the easy side , but some excellent groups (3 years, 8 months ago)

PinkTwingo @ #45108: Very good! Well done. Even though it beat me :) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Billy No Mates @ #46593: Actually it is, Beck. The current standard US game of Clue has had Orchid since 2016. (3 years, 8 months ago)

PinkTwingo @ #14361: I would suggest discarding the SIMPSON clue in Ulysses S Grant. Generally accepted it stood for nothing. May even have been a question on OC about this. (3 years, 8 months ago)

WyrmCzar @ #46536: Yay! It's my first 10/10. Noice wall :) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Beck @ #46593: Orchid is not in US Clue (3 years, 8 months ago)

ro @ #46593: I had no idea they'd replaced Mrs White with Dr Orchid, madness! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Rose @ #46593: It’s called Cluedo in the UK and possibly elsewhere too. For accuracy maybe the answer should read as “Characters from Clue/Cluedo”. (3 years, 8 months ago)

The BurgerBoi @ #25172: Bit morbid innit (3 years, 8 months ago)

JMT @ #46574: Great fun! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Tom @ #27007: Agree with David (3 years, 8 months ago)

glg @ #46578: should have known colors would be marked wrong. :) have to put my uk brain on. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Dee Dee @ #28219: never heard of smokey eye - nothing to work out, all dependent on knowing categories of things. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46574: @ Joe - the setters name might have warned you off. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46567: Just my container of steeped dried leaves. 5* (3 years, 8 months ago)

Joe @ #46567: Not good at all. Someone was trying to be too clever.. but it didn't work (3 years, 8 months ago)

ABC @ #45713: Do- Do you think Babe Ruth was a president!? He was a baseball player! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Fredo @ #46569: Is the Bowsprit part of a mast?? Not sure it is (3 years, 8 months ago)

rosieposie @ #46546: Seconding Julian's comment, I don't think it's nitpicking, Stanford isn't an Ivy League. (3 years, 8 months ago)

wo @ #46569: It didn't accept supermarkets or shops for that category. And didn't accept Turner for that category. So what does it accept?! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Robert Pringle @ #28927: Nonsense grid. Lay off the drugs and stop wasting everyones time!! (3 years, 8 months ago)

rosieposie @ #46570: Really liked it! Good job. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Chester @ #46565: Great red herring (3 years, 8 months ago)

Classic G @ #46560: Well I enjoyed it! Difficult to get red herrings into this style of grid but you used McCartney well. (3 years, 8 months ago)

JMT @ #46559: Heheh : D Ive noticed quite a few typos in grids lately, so I think others may not be receiving their grids to correct in their email either (3 years, 8 months ago)

Chester @ #46559: No, but then I'm prefect :-) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Oceano @ #46555: Nice one with all that misdirection. Siegfried is way too niche for me, I don't even know the reference. Are Paris and Paras really homophones? That second vowel in Paras is a short I? (3 years, 8 months ago)

JMT @ #46559: Drat, I am doing that a lot lately. Can't fix it either as the grids have stopped showing up in my emails. Is that happening to you? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Chester @ #46559: ah! it's Kristen (3 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #46521: One group are all pastries but that plural is not accepted (3 years, 8 months ago)

julian @ #46546: Enjoyed it, but one factual nitpick: Stanford is not an "Ivy League" uni, but Harvard, Yale, Brown, and Cornell are, which makes those two groups a bit difficult. As the group is just "US universities," Pratt and Brown become nearly interchangeable. (3 years, 8 months ago)

asp @ #46455: Nothing in my spam folder. My only guess is that I forgot to enter an email address (or entered the wrong one). Apologies again! (3 years, 8 months ago)

anon @ #46530: 2 lines extremely clever but nigh on impossible to get and 2 lines of banality (3 years, 8 months ago)

Borophyll @ #46418: Excellent puzzle! Props for accepting "heterophones" for the relay clue. I couldn't think of any other way to describe them, so I was pleasantly surprised when my answer was accepted. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #46507: Very good (3 years, 8 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #46521: This grid is quite good however, it is not a UNIQUE solution and therefore doesn't work. You can swap Scatter with Histogram, as Scatter is a type of chart and Histogram contains RAM. Also if you really want to overthink it, you can put scatter in the chart group, move line to the fishing group and then take Reel and place it in the animal group (Eel) But we wont bother taking it that far!!

Dearest setters, you must make your own decisions. I'm really not sure at this point how it will pan out if we go back to normal, but we can see. Speak plainly if you want to.

asp @ #46455: Kitty and Khitty, I know, and I apologize. For some reason I never got the link that lets me edit the grid, and I can't figure out how else to do so. Frustrating for me too. Thanks for playing! (3 years, 8 months ago)

egerg @ #46407: Thanks. I had a quick google to see if they could be high-carb foods and a lot of places said yes - I'll add staple food as an option, that's a much better way of putting it. For the homophones all of them are if you pronounce them very English-ly; none of them are in a French accent. (3 years, 8 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #46233: Good grid. Ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

srnka @ #46440: A fairly meh wall. The author should have gone for the more specific group with Henry (possibly replacing Breville by Dyson, e.g.) and/or still accept the more specific meaning as Breville does make hand-held vacuums. The UK and US groups felt a bit too arbitrary. In general, having to make two separate distinctions "group A but only these" and "group B but only those" for two overlapping groups will usually lead to poor results. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Stuart Pecksen @ #46431: Ah you got me good with this one. Well played! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Dan @ #46490: Not great. Massive overlap between the categories means multiple possible solutions, so just guesswork (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #31367: Scampi, calm down and be polite. It was better than "O.K." Lucy, this was a fantastic grid- my one point of contest would be the disallowing of 'Fart' as an acceptable answer for the third row :D Other than that, keep up the good work. I think you're doing a fine job. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Holy Crow @ #46418: @Cajun Relay as in a race has a different pronunciation than to relay a message. There is also relay as in to relay tile which is a different pronunciation from the other two as well. This one is definitely trickier than the others because the difference is what part of the word is emphasized. (3 years, 8 months ago)

DH @ #46419: Nice one (3 years, 8 months ago)

Dogms @ #46407: Lentils and Quinoa aren't known as starchy foods - they're higher protein than many other staple foods, but staple foods wasn't accepted as a link. Cat isn't a homophone for quatre. That said, I found all the groups in under two minutes, and the only connection I wasn't given was the food group ( which was the first group I sorted from the grid). (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46401: ditto that Tonail (3 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #46414: Good grid but maybe widen the answers. I used cooker instead of stove so got it wrong. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Dee Dee @ #46390: The 'can be proceded by Dom' line was incorrect for many reasons e.g there is no such thing or person as Dom King (you may mean KingDom - Kingdom? In which case 'dom' is a 'suffix'. Also, the word 'proceded'? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Dogms @ #12914: Had no idea about the peasants revolt leaders and failed to sort them from the rock singers in time (and failed to identify the peasants'revolt as a category). If Simmons had been in in the singers group, rather than Simmonds, I'd probably have sorted the group, but you presumably chose a less well known rock musician to make it trickier.

Omegaman @ #46281: Crows = corvids (3 years, 8 months ago)

Dowbar @ #40849: It accepted Bob for me. However FM is nothing to do with wavelength groups - it's a way of putting the sound onto a radio carrier wave. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #46274: Words start with letter sounds doesn’t work despite being mostly the words in the answer in a different order (3 years, 8 months ago)

Dowbar @ #46291: ...and you left the vowel in Aniston! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jose Mourinho @ #46291: Sorry to be picky. Vn vrd needs to be vnh vrd, it's Portuguese... Nice effort otherwise (3 years, 8 months ago)

Hacheeey @ #46233: Brilliant ty!!! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Khitty @ #46315: Oh darn. I saw the pulse rifle and thought it was a Fallout thing. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Hacheeey @ #46303: Loved it! Also thought of East 17 lol (3 years, 8 months ago)

Hacheeey @ #46289: Fun wall but tricky!!! TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

Cajun @ #43318: Nicely done! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Cajun @ #43382: Well said, Cancan. It doesn't work in American English either (3 years, 8 months ago)

AaPp @ #45712: Bay Ruth was not named after a US president. At one point the manufacturer's claimed it was named after the daughter or granddaughter of a president, but that was almost certainly nonsense to cover for trademark infringement on Babe Ruth who was a rising star at the time. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Caroline @ #46182: I only figured out the vowels at the last second, but it was really well done. The red herrings definitely got me, but I enjoyed this a lot. Thanks! (3 years, 8 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #46289: Great grid TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

Cajun @ #43563: These are not metric units. They are all measurements used in electronics or electrical calculations (3 years, 8 months ago)

JS @ #46303: Most enjoyable idea. There are some ambiguities: Turk 182 / 50 Cent and Sham 69 / 17 by Avril Lavigne. Also 22, 50, 123, 451, 1984 and 2001 are all in the same 2 groups. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Zaphy @ #46274: Overall alright. One of the connections is a big stretch due to how vague it is, though. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Kazza K @ #46303: Nice grid - I knew what the group themes were, but just couldn’t get the right combinations!! (3 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #46288: Thanks for the puzzle Harley. Often the case when you play with groups of names - I think there's more than one solution. Swap Abraham and Benjamin? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Chris G @ #10088: (3 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #46299: Thanks Ref. I failed miserably to solve it; in fact even with the answer in front of me I didn't understand one of the groups :-)) 2 mini moans: When submitting a grid all clues should begin with a capital letter - it saves confusion re names etc. Mixing surnames & first names in one section - bit questionable (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jamie @ #46288: Could Biblical names be accepted for the Abraham group? Otherwise very good grid (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Shore @ #46284: Tricky, but impressive (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46253: Very upset! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #46233: 👏🏻 (3 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #46203: Cross is your answer, Cross is my answer but I am cross because it didn’t get the points. 2 Centrals is not good form. This is the same as #46202. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Bob @ #46280: Crossover / red herring hell... good though! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alan @ #46262: A well-planned wall. Lots of puzzles here don't pay attention to crossovers. Nicely done. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46262: Somewhat tough! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46263: Very good! Big respect (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46274: 7/10! super ethical!!! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46266: My French self is with 'Dowbar' here: the plural of mongoose is mongooses. Other than that this is a good grid (as much as I believe that this so-called 'legalese' is a notion meant to keep the legal system in pocket, and the working-classes impoverished. Good Day! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46098: (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46098: Tre Bien!!! Sehr gut grid, yet quite easy where weekly grids are concerned! I enjoyed this grid greatly, but I expected it to be a little more difficult. Well Done! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Gomersalls @ #31165: same as maggot (3 years, 8 months ago)

Dowbar @ #46266: Hmm... Plural of mongoose is mongooses. (3 years, 8 months ago)

rts @ #46233: Delightful and different, thank you! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Classic G @ #46271: This quiz got reposted after editing, rather than replaced. I’ve sorted out the mistake. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Classic G @ #46270: Ignore this one. There should be only one “down” and there should be a “Stockholm” (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ade @ #46233: Excellent. Thank you (3 years, 8 months ago)

Cax2 @ #29578: Yes 1 star from me for poor spelling, my rules (3 years, 8 months ago)

J Hird-Evans @ #46233: That was fun! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Scoobydont @ #46244: Lol. We’ve all been there! (3 years, 8 months ago)

sib @ #46252: I've been typing for nearly 50 years and i've never seen pipe on a keyboard. Your spoonerisms didn't make sense. They should be words that are used and not some random words that you've picked - the worst of them being "cooler/lucre". (3 years, 8 months ago)

Robert Pringle @ #35391: Age is a measurement is it? How long is it? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Cajun @ #46243: Well done (3 years, 8 months ago)

Dogms @ #39925: Didn't accept 'notes in tonic sol-fa' for the musical scale group. 'Cash' isn't slang. (3 years, 8 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #46247: Fantastic. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Dogms @ #46204: Solved the grid with a minute to go, accidentally sorting Australian territories and states, by pressing randomly to find the ones which weren't in the time zone group. The Australian states group was the only group I failed to identify once they were sorted (my not spotting it was nothing to do with Northern being a territory rather than a state). (3 years, 8 months ago)

mingsy_sar @ #17624: Violet is purple not blue (3 years, 8 months ago)

J Silberman @ #46244: Sorry, this is the same as 46242. I was trying to update that grid and my update was not accepted. By mistake, I have resubmitted the whole grid! (3 years, 8 months ago)

verasteine @ #46199: The currency group was brilliant. (3 years, 8 months ago)

verasteine @ #46198: Lovely red herrings, enjoyed this. (3 years, 8 months ago)

clockwork58 @ #46209: Thanks for the advice. The Dalton Category are surnames of people who won the VC at Rourkes drift. I agree with "knife" should work. My mistake I disagree re the sports presenter. These are the first four main presenters of match of the day. In order. Sports presenters is too general in my opinion Thanks for taking the time (3 years, 8 months ago)

J Silberman @ #46242: Thanks, Scoobydont. I have added 'club'. Give yourself an extra point! I like others coming up with connections that I had not considered. (3 years, 8 months ago)

JMT @ #46243: A good mix, I liked it TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ells @ #46243: Hey everyone, I hope you liked my first grid! If you have any feedback, let me know :) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Scoobydont @ #46242: Cripes! Took ages to get going but managed the groups but only 2 connections. I entered ‘clubs’ for the Culture group which could be an alternative answer. Testing & good one. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Scoobydont @ #46235: Wow! So frustrating. Knew the groups - just couldn’t get the right selections for 3 of them! Another like this please :-) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Scoobydont @ #46238: Very good indeed (3 years, 8 months ago)

CoolBar06 @ #46224: Mia culpa @Hacheey, should have read more closely (3 years, 8 months ago)

Dave+1 @ #46203: 2 x central (3 years, 8 months ago)

JMT @ #46233: Enjoyed TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

Bishop Trelawney @ #46234: In Archive Fever, Derrida discusses the nature and function of the archive, particularly in Freudian terms and in light of the death drive. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Hacheeey @ #46224: @CoolBar06 I accidentally posted twice while trying to edit! Not interchangeable as no best actor Oscar was won for the portrayal of Frank Abagnale. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Scoobydont @ #46230: Good point ShawdowBunny - hadn’t clocked that :-) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Scoobydont @ #46230: Nice One - clever cross-overs - no complaints (3 years, 8 months ago)

Shadowbunny @ #46230: Scaramouche and Figaro can be swapped and the wall will still be correct - both are lyrics from Bohemian Rhapsody and both contain a hidden creature (ram and gar) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Cal and Vic @ #46230: Beelzebub is not in the group which the "More info" button says it is. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Robert Pringle @ #40566: You're a synonym for backside!!! (3 years, 8 months ago)

MBS @ #46207: If you pronounce the words properly, violate is not a homonym of violet (3 years, 8 months ago)

MBS @ #46209: The category that contains Dalton doesn’t make sense, even with the explanation (3 years, 8 months ago)

MBS @ #46210: For the grouping that includes Players, an explanation of each one would be nice. Pretty easy grid. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Khitty @ #46182: I'm pleased I got the vowels category. Would never have figured out the Sopranos, though. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Malcolm @ #2264: Marvin: you're way too picky - what's wrong with play dance november ten? Tettee: Salsa is the only dance in that whole group - there are two very closely related styles of music and one type of fitness class that is danced based, but not itself a dance.

Dogms @ #7062: Sorted the groups in just over two minutes. I've never heard of an ivy League hairdo, but put it into that group when mullet went into the fish group, sheerleg was rejected, nothing else was plausible, and ivy League didn't obviously belong elsewhere. I'll now have to Google that and sheerleg, as I've no clue what it is, apart from general lifting equipment. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Dogms @ #12138: Good grid. Logical connections, that I can't quibble with (unlike a lot of other grids I've done).Glad I got the groups in the order I did - I've never heard of 'old navy' in my life, so would have been stumped if I'd not definitely known the other three in the group, and wouldn't have gone for that grouping, if I'd not had only that and the Spanish colours left. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Dogms @ #35663: Extremely easy to spot the groups (solved all four in 25 seconds), but 'they all mean inactive' wasn't accepted as a connection, for the 'synonyms' group. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Dogms @ #186: Fun grid. Picked out the groups in just over minute, but when doing the connections, I took about four minutes staring at my final group before I realised it was 'fly' (must be my allergy to sport). (3 years, 8 months ago)

Dogms @ #12924: Quite satisfying -had to abandon the first two groups I spotted (Kings and Detectives) because of the red herrings,but once I'd sorted the 'code' group (slightly confusef by 'code red' when the others were '___code') my final two groups fell into place. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Dogms @ #28219: Nice grid - solved in two minutes. Slightly annoying that 'teasing' wasn't accepted for the 'take the piss' hroup (3 years, 8 months ago)

Tom @ #16396: Clever (3 years, 8 months ago)

Dogms @ #4165: Really enjoyed this one. Good grid. I got the Billy/Billie group first, then because of was left over, the Crystal maze group (brilliant) became obvious. Once those four were found, I saw there must be medals, but actually found the Age group easier to sort. I'm afraid the Medal group felt a bit messy - two that were '____medal', one 'medal___', and one which was just a medal, but doesn't have the word 'medal' in its name. They were all medals though, so it still works as a group. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Dogms @ #46080: Once I saw what it was, it wasn't hard at all to sort the groups out, but I just couldn't find the link for my last group (flurant etc). I don't know why - maybe the breaks in the middle were less obvious. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Malcolm @ #2198: Laurent Blanc not a left back and bizarrely you have capitalised all of acer when actually their branding is lower case. Just spelling it "Acer" would have marginally increased the jeopardy by having another possible tree there (3 years, 8 months ago)

Barber @ #46045: @JD (JayDee) Sir/Madam/Other, You may or not be be the moral or erstwhile custodian of the "grid" and entitled to respond to a grid that upsets you. The categories are MINE, for good or bad but I cannot see how Thora was 'incorrect'. But for all that, how DARE you criticise my spelling? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Dogms @ #45987: Crepes are fried, not baked. (3 years, 8 months ago)

JayDee @ #46045: Spelling needs work. Very poor categories and the Thora Hard one isn't "cheeky", it's incorrect and not in the spirit of the grid. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Khitty @ #37065: Nice! This is one where I had a good idea what the categories were, but couldn't remember which phrase came from where. (Is it THE WESTING GAME that has the line "all famous quotations are either from the bible or Shakespeare"?) I could've sworn 'skin of my teeth' was Shakespearean. It sounds like a Shakespearism, anyway, a la 'wearing your heart on your sleeve'. I didn't identify the Shakespeare category any more narrowly than "Shakespeare" though, so thanks for accepting that answer. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Chester @ #46042: Love it, thanks for the smiles :-) (3 years, 8 months ago)

JMT @ #46037: glad I'm not talking to myself (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46040: Thanks Laura, will edit. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Dogms @ #23488: Having two groups based on names flower themed names was a bit risky, and having three in each group that belonged in both groups made the wall insoluble, except by pure luck. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Paige @ #46032: Fictional Weapons? Your self-worth is fictional. I am Paige. I'm sorry, that was mean. But I'm a bit miffed by the fact that one of the categories was just "fictional weapons" when all 167 of them were fictional weapons. I am Paige. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Dogms @ #24458: True Lies is the only real oxymoron in the group, Bittersweet just about fits, Act Naturally is a big stretch and Good Grief is just wrong.

Khitty @ #29197: I don't know why I'm so ridiculously happy that you know that quarks come in flavors. It's such a goofy yet charming (heh) term for 'type'. Like knowing owls come in parliaments, or a female donkey is a jenny. @Bob "They seek to make an ass of me!" (paraphrased) Lysander tipped me off here, same as the others (I wonder how tricky the category would be if you included 'Hero' instead). I forgot about Snug the joiner for ages before some missed gear in my brain finally clicked. The -ander category was my last to get. I figured it had to be something like a shared suffix. Don't remember what finally clued me in. To be honest, after the other categories, the 'toys' was almost too easy. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Khitty @ #45906: @rts Aha, you're welcome! Spending time around anime enthusiasts has pretty much made yokai/youkai a loanword (into my English, at least). Good luck with the puzzling! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Khitty @ #26302: 'Minced oath' is common term for an alternative to profanity. Aside from that, this puzzle tripped me up - good work! I figured _oyster_ had to be one of those mushrooms, so that had me stumped for a while. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Khitty @ #34038: With _polar_ and _focal_ I was expecting something to do with coordinates or optics. ^_^; Very much overthinking on my part. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Donna @ #45930: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Yours is missing letters (3 years, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #203: Fun grid (3 years, 8 months ago)

Khitty @ #16102: Nice use of red herrings (3 years, 8 months ago)

Khitty @ #39625: Took me a while to get the Hemingway category... "Bazooka" is what clued me in to gum brands, since it was so out there compared to the other weapons, heh. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Khitty @ #423: "good call" works because it's an established phrase (Ex: "I got an extra tub of butter in case the recipe comes out too dry." "Ooh, good call"). 'Winter ball' is a bit shakier, I admit, but apparently it's a common name for a dance in US high schools. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ade @ #45917: Nice one. Thank you (3 years, 8 months ago)

quizzer @ #45917: Should have just "it" for Perm, Trans, Orb, Pulp. as well as "its" as both are right. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Stephen Nolan @ #45805: I put tinder. What an absolute eejit (3 years, 8 months ago)

Khitty @ #45906: Should the Japanese folklore category accept 'yokai'? I guessed at the watches and beers, but it worked because I had an idea from at least one of the entries in the category. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jack Swanson @ #45865: It was okay (3 years, 8 months ago)

Pastramius @ #30704: Fun unity theme running nice one (3 years, 8 months ago)

Pastramius @ #2161: I like this one the fish one is a little odd as they are all animals by themselves i wonder if a 4th where it was something that wasn't an animal would make it cleaner but overall fun (3 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #45883: For some of us they are just US cities. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Robert Pringle @ #10121: Roads made out of bricks????? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Malcolm @ #2161: No crossovers or red herrings; palindromes too easy, especially when only 4. Definitely not medium (3 years, 8 months ago)

Matt @ #45880: Nickle/nickel is an element not alloy (3 years, 8 months ago)

Malcolm @ #2151: Caitlin is an Irish name, it isn't short for Catherine. The Pool group isn't good - you might say slush fund, but you wouldn't use that with the others and bounty is something completely different anyway (3 years, 8 months ago)

Malcolm @ #2148: trial doesn't really work for that group, it should be try, but obv you had already used that. Not good (3 years, 8 months ago)

Gomersalls @ #5795: you should include 'home' as an acceptable definition! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Gomersalls @ #28438: Yes but where is LILU? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Gomersalls @ #30704: very good. and we've been super grumpy today. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Gomersalls @ #34868: should allow ax with no e for Americans present! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Gomersalls @ #45562: Seems harsh that we typed "off screen" for the Maris group and didn't get the score! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Gomersalls @ #37161: some more generous keywords for the tic one would be nice! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Pastramius @ #45860: Same comment as 'd' if you could add painter so it counts as correct that'd be great! Nice work on the whole! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Pastramius @ #45826: Overall I enjoyed it. Re: Cajun's comments on the helicopter. I'm not sure how "cobra" would connect to Native American as cobras are not native to the Americas. So I don't feel that would cross over. Anyway I'm sure we can argue it all day. I enjoyed it. Keep making the puzzles you like making. I have no problem with having a whole fake group either (3 years, 8 months ago)

buzzkc @ #45864: Liked it. (3 years, 8 months ago)

JMT @ #45881: Good ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

Si @ #45879: As above, 'Rose' & changeable with (Robert) Plant & also 'Beck' has fronted his own band. Nice concept, just need to tweak and republish :-) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Bear @ #45883: Some really good red herrings in this grid (3 years, 8 months ago)

M @ #45879: Not a unique solution as plant (Robert) and rose are interchangeable (3 years, 8 months ago)

CoolBar06 @ #45860: very good (3 years, 8 months ago)

Dogms @ #42260: The group's didn't quite work - Mary could legitimately have gone into the musicals group (Mary Poppins) and either Jesus or Joseph could have gone into the Nativity group instead. They shouldn't be interchangeable. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #45820: I wouldn’t describe a witch as a monster. I put horror film subjects. (3 years, 8 months ago)

puzzgridfan @ #45820: Octopuses are not arachnids. Otherwise a nice grid, I enjoyed it! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #45847: Seems that Mr Pedantic is doing my job. I'll go for a cup of tea and some cake. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Pedantic @ #45847: Have awarded 5* (though somewhat reluctantly) because of the effort, however 4 groups with a minimum of 5 options and one with 7 options means it will be infuriating. Not entirely sure Davis cannot be swapped with Murphy or Williams.. Well done on the construction and research. (3 years, 8 months ago)

JS @ #45826: Re buzzkc's comment: Your pet peeve (of a red herring group) is very much just that. I enjoy trying an obvious group, finding it to be wrong and then having to look for a new angle to solve the grid. It is to the credit of our many contributors that these puzzles are different and appeal in different ways to different people. (3 years, 8 months ago)

buzzkc @ #45844: VERY tough, I got one set. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Gomersalls @ #44787: Very well balanced! Hard but fair. (3 years, 8 months ago)

LiamFlag @ #45839: Excellent grid. Nicely on the border of doable and challenging. Burton didn’t direct Batman Forever, not that it impacts the grid. You can thank Joel Schumacher for that abomination of a movie (3 years, 8 months ago)

buzzkc @ #45826: Came to say the same thing as Cajun re: helicopter names. Also, a pet peeve of mine with these puzzles is having a red herring group that doesn't end up being its own category in the end. It's fine to have the same "obvious" group of more than 4 words, but when they're all spread out among the four groups in the end, it doesn't make it as rewarding as finally weeding out the correct 4 for that "obvious" group. (3 years, 8 months ago)

sib @ #45837: Good grid :) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Pedantic @ #45839: Solved the wall but no points after that, bravo nice grid ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #45805: I enjoyed that. It is nice to have an easy one every now and again. (3 years, 8 months ago)

d @ #45795: Loved your other recent grid but don't think this one entirely works. Cast isn't a synonym for "to glance at something" (you can cast a glance - or cast an eye over something - but you can't say "I cast the book" to mean "I glanced at the book"). Same with the voting definition - you can cast a vote but cast on its own doesn't mean "the action of voting". And various others are kind of dodgy eg a spring isn't a freshwater lake. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Eolan @ #45809: Aside from the 1916 Easter Rising, what were the other Dublin based revolutions. Most of the famous ones in Ireland I can recall were well outside of Dublin. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Smithy @ #45794: oops - found a little tricky as in German despite filtering by English (3 years, 8 months ago)

Cajun @ #45820: Nice herrings for the groups. Agree with the other comments about octopus (3 years, 8 months ago)

Cajun @ #45826: This helicopter set has been used many times and I always disagree with it. All 4 words can relate to Indian as well. Not Indian tribes, just indian. On Only Connect, I think I believe Victoria would have to concede that point. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #45718: Thanks, I might indulge in some confetti since it wasn't acceptable. Took me ages to get the deviation, I was convinced kids and pets sit on the floor and spent a lot of time looking for errors to go with it. Really love this sort of thing. 5* (3 years, 8 months ago)

Sugarnatural @ #45579: That's not how you spell Jekyll. Also, allow more keywords for the ligaments group. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jennyi43 @ #45594: Olev, thanks for the advice. Kiwi would have been a good idea. Except it wasn’t quite as broad as ‘plurals’ and ‘birds’. It was supposed to be ‘EPL team nicknames’ and ‘seabirds’ specifically. (3 years, 9 months ago)

CoolBar06 @ #45614: Solved the wall but missed the confetti, what a muppet am I. TY (3 years, 9 months ago)

Tonail @ #45610: Types of food ! 'movie' ? Needs better construction and red herrings. Come on, you can do it. ty (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #45610: Sorry, not up to scratch. Putting 'movie' as link to four actors is not good enough, plus no crossovers. Maybe look at some other grids and try again (3 years, 9 months ago)

CoolBar06 @ #45611: Real hard but good (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jamie @ #45585: Doesn't work (3 years, 9 months ago)

Olev @ #45594: An easy one, spot the birds, then the plurals, then the fruit group (has it been popping up more lately?). Maybe kiwi would add some confusion? Or am I just not seeing the red herrings? (3 years, 9 months ago)

paul @ #45602: Two squares with the same word breaches the rule against interchangeable answers. The egg categories are a bit of stretch. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jeff @ #45385: Just bad. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jeff @ #45386: BAD difficulty rating. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jeff @ #45519: Very bad...not MARGINALLY close to 'medium difficulty'. Firstly you'd have to have intimate knowledge of a SINGLE performers catalog as well as to have MEMORIZED which obscure songs are on obscure albums. Whoever created this should consider it a complete failure as 'medium' difficulty. (3 years, 9 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #45550: Good one. (3 years, 9 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #45557: Good. But prepare yourself Davie. You are about to be pulled up by the usual suspects who'll question your pronunciation of the word "pedantic"! (3 years, 9 months ago)

J Hird-Evans @ #45537: I enjoyed that. Had never heard of a 'double boiler' but I learned something today! (3 years, 9 months ago)

tim @ #27834: for the two 'THE' ones which are acronyms (Treasure Hunt Expedition being one) it would have been good to have a cryptic crosswords style signifier to indicate it was the first letters. (3 years, 9 months ago)

sib @ #45517: Excellent - loved this grid especially the anagrams (3 years, 9 months ago)

eric @ #45515: good (3 years, 9 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #45480: Calligraphy originated from China, not Japan. Also, I think a lot of people would argue that notan is a feature of art, rather than an art form in and of itself. "Names" is a very broad link (and really, those answers should be capitalized. There's some nice ideas on this grid, but you need to refine it some more. (3 years, 9 months ago)

eric @ #45110: Yes difficult to put my feelings into words on this one - UNSULLIED would seem to be the perfect answer to line two yet is marked as incorrect. People of limited vocabulary should maybe stick to non word games - conkers perhaps........... (3 years, 9 months ago)

Yvonne @ #45445: Not too difficult (3 years, 9 months ago)

Joe @ #45484: Not good. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Joe @ #45483: Jazz and Disco can be swapped for a correct grid too. There should be one unique solution. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Si @ #45461: Nice concept, but you have made an error which makes this near impossible, you need to update. Kansas City is in Missouri (not Kansas). Wichita (not Wichita City) is the largest city in the state of Kansas (3 years, 9 months ago)

d @ #45433: Clever grid! I could see all the categories yet didn't manage to get any of them completed in time as there were SO many red herrings! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Si @ #45415: I think you have missed a word & 'Bass' should be something like 'Double Bass' or 'Bass Violin'. 'Bass' in itself is not an instrument. (3 years, 9 months ago)

revenclaw1992 @ #45408: the answers are not as most would expect (3 years, 9 months ago)

Cajun @ #45440: Well done... tons of herrings (3 years, 9 months ago)

Synth @ #45440: Clever grid, so many words *look* like they could go together at first glance :) (3 years, 9 months ago)

d @ #45415: Nice grid, thanks, but can you add more options to allow for different ways people might describe the connections? I got all the links but only 1 was marked as correct because I wrote "cooking equipment", "__fish" and "s___" (Also as others noted you missed the end off "ukulele"!) (3 years, 9 months ago)

sib @ #45428: Annie Hall is a hat?!! Who are Bosch, Key etc?!! (3 years, 9 months ago)

sib @ #45431: There is no animal called a link. Do you mean lynx? (3 years, 9 months ago)

eric @ #45400: 'Hey Kylie Anne whats your game now can anybody play' Not much to grizzle about really except, of course, they are name prefixes not affixes, still good for someone called Kylie........joking, joking.... (3 years, 9 months ago)

Dave @ #45430: Excellent grid, I got none of the lines but all the connections. Just the right level of frustration!! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Malcolm @ #1951: Never heard of silver stirling. I have heard of sterling silver, but then preceded by doesn't work. Need a few more/trickier crossovers, I think (3 years, 9 months ago)

J Hird-Evans @ #45343: To Chris Brady: it should indeed. You have given me an idea!!! (3 years, 9 months ago)

J Hird-Evans @ #45428: Really challenging. I spotted the appliances. I'm mad with myself for not spotting the artists. I knew there were hats in there, but I didn't get the correct four. Never thought of consecutive letters of the alphabet, I shall be better prepared for the next time there is one like that. Keep them coming. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Aetees @ #45430: I needed a little luck but got there in the end. Good grid. (3 years, 9 months ago)

KyleM @ #45428: Superb - especially the Bosch curved ball. (3 years, 9 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #45400: Very good Kylie. However I only got the name affixes because they were small words. Cheating? (3 years, 9 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #45425: Excellent Liam! Sticking Waterloo and Bog in there had me going GET IT?! (3 years, 9 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #45398: Thought I'd follow Jericho's lead (thanks for the inspiration) and pay my respects, via Puzzgrid, to a boxing legend. (3 years, 9 months ago)

JMT @ #45379: Enjoyed ty (3 years, 9 months ago)

bob @ #45382: with hexagon in there a better answer would be six sided. Things that are written to be read is a very poor answer (3 years, 9 months ago)

eric @ #45382: Hmmm including hexagon when the connection is hexagonal is lame in the extreme..........similarly what does ' all are written to be read' mean?? As opposed to stuff that is written to be ignored maybe? Very poor effort....... (3 years, 9 months ago)

eric @ #45383: I was marked wrong for saying that the second connection all contains double RR - which they clearly do!! (3 years, 9 months ago)

J Hird-Evans @ #45371: Cool. I liked this. Not easy, it took me several refreshes! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Malcolm @ #1793: I thought this was quite a hard grid rather than medium. As to the urethra/gland comments - has no one heard of the red herring/crossover concept? These could only logically be in the group they are in, as everythhing else is used up. (3 years, 9 months ago)

verasteine @ #45331: I saw the bands but I couldn't find them in time. Good grid! (3 years, 9 months ago)

David @ #45296: Nice, fun grid. Did you mean Strongbow for the beer & lager question? (not intended as pedantry - genuinely trying & failing to think of a beer with that image) (3 years, 9 months ago)

WeeCrunch @ #45349: First names of actors in a series I don't watch or like, that's just fiendish! The only name I recognise is a red herring, too. Oh well ;) Nice grid. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #45354: Love it! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Boris and Doris @ #35781: Players; the site has been attacked by trolls since last Wednesday (17.03.21). They make grids targeted at setters, with themes of sex and violence designed to intimidate, but trying to make them look like normal grids if you're not the target. They also impersonate setters by taking their names and putting them on their own grids and comments (which the site currently allows!). Please play older grids for now. There are plenty of them. Thanks (3 years, 9 months ago)

Boris and Doris @ #35781: Setters; this is a long game. Don't make new grids or comment because of the impersonation problem. It would be helpful if Puzzgrid could stop people making new grids at some point. Our goal is long term protection on the site, not pissing about with one set of trolls. Some sites have volunteer moderators - a thought for the future. We're sure you've all found and followed general advice on trolling. We watch and wait. Our love and thoughts are with you m'dears.

Aetees @ #45324: This sort of grid is why it would be nice to have tags or more filter options on the site. I am not tech minded so I have no idea how difficult that would be. The grid is far too specialised for someone like me, but I do understand the appeal of specialised grids and have written some myself. If you are, as your user name suggests, new to submitting grids on this site please don't get discouraged. It seems well enough put together but too focused for many of us I suspect.

Ian SewellYou @ #26: No way in. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #24: All the above. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Devereux @ #45312: Good grid. The Fa So Do group isn't really from The Sound of Music - the SoM song comes from the names of the notes in a scale. The answer needs to accept "notes" or "scale" (3 years, 9 months ago)

Devereux @ #45311: Nice grid! (You might want to edit the answer to the Morgan line, so that it accepts the singular as well as the plural) (3 years, 9 months ago)

Barber @ #45268: Yes, clever and had chuckles when seeing answers (3 years, 9 months ago)

Devereux @ #45313: Strictly speaking, a pergola isn't really an extension to a house. It's simply a frame for vines to grow along, and it doesn't need to be connected to the building like the other 3 do. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Malcolm @ #1602: This was grim: didn'taccept us state capitOls, which is ironic; steel sheet? I've heard of sheet ice, but ice sheet? Bar and pie are charts not graphs and I'm unfamiliar with column graph (3 years, 9 months ago)

Mojo872 @ #45184: That was ROCK HARD. But amazing. Lots of very nice misleading ways of cutting off the words too. Nicely done. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Tonail @ #45131: Ditto that (3 years, 9 months ago)

sib @ #45143: Different and very good (3 years, 9 months ago)

Roy @ #45128: whats the point? (3 years, 9 months ago)

s Mac @ #45141: Time Labyrinth Eclipse and Mother could also be movie titles? (3 years, 9 months ago)

Propane Man @ #45143: A great grid, refreshingly different, but soooo hard to do on a phone! 😬 (3 years, 9 months ago)

kitty @ #45110: "Can be followed by" means the word 'Fresh' could go *after* the clues, which is not the case. As Devereux says, "preceded by" would be more correct. Good board though! (3 years, 9 months ago)

paul @ #45121: "primes" is almost a pointless connection as "all words" (3 years, 9 months ago)

Bill Wallace @ #45137: Absolutely bonkers mate! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Hypatia @ #45110: No, Devereux's correction is right (3 years, 9 months ago)

cora @ #33842: fun (3 years, 9 months ago)

deedeerex @ #45110: @Devereux The link between the clues reads, "Can be followed by 'fresh'", meaning each clue can fit after the word 'fresh'; the implied subject is each clue and not the link itself. Thanks for playing! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #45099: Thanks (3 years, 9 months ago)

Cal&Vic @ #45124: A very challenging, yet very enjoyable wall! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Cal&Vic @ #45064: Fantastic wall. Plenty of red herrings; kept me guessing. But, to be consistent with the other clues in that group, the clue "Down" should really be "Down's." (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ducky @ #45088: Can you edit the capital letters? One group is a giveaway. (Most grids have the first letter in every box as a capital). (3 years, 9 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #45087: great idea struggled to explain what the link is (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ducky @ #45087: Beautifully put together! (Not too hard for me but I managed to miss all the red herrings). (3 years, 9 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #44800: Ambiguity? Swap Barking and Knightsbridge. OK, you have to loosen the 'Knightsbridge' connection to include Barking but this swap does give a perfectly good alternative solution. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Bingo Little @ #44993: I struggled with the last group (376616 etc) even when I knew the connection. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Bingo Little @ #45087: Nice idea and cleverly done, but very hard. (Even if I knew the 'trick' I am not sure I would have solved it in time.) (3 years, 9 months ago)

Gerald @ #45042: OH MY GOD i put nickelodeon when it's obviously Cartoon Network...Grim Reaper coming for me (Gerald) (3 years, 9 months ago)

Gerald @ #45042: The legend of the Grim Reaper originates from the Nickelodeon show "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy." These two kids Billy and Mandy have a friend that is like "death" personified and they hang out and stuff. The whole "Grim Reaper" thing took off from there I believe. (3 years, 9 months ago)

paul @ #45042: for those not familar with the word pschopomp, a wider range of acceptable answers would be good (3 years, 9 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #45056: (Oops, sorry about the double post - and this one!) (3 years, 9 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #45056: I disagree with Matt. A homophone is a word with the same pronunciation and a different meaning. The clues in question are not words so they can not be homophones - even though they do 'sound like' something else. (3 years, 9 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #45056: Enjoyed that one, ty (3 years, 9 months ago)

Mike Sadka @ #38018: Hard to do with "pale" instead of "pale" - completely different word and meaning! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Matt @ #45056: 'sounds like' - homophone is the proper term (3 years, 9 months ago)

JayDee @ #45061: One group could also be something else. Another group is wrong in its definition. You should check the meaning of a couple of words before grouping them together. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Bee @ #45042: The 'Phsycopomps' category was so interesting! I connected them all but that one at the 'Tristan & Isolde' ones were just a good guess and I didn't get the link!! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Bee @ #45014: Please leave a comment with what you think! (3 years, 9 months ago)

eric @ #45042: i think the Grim Reaper played centre half for Blackburn Rovers in the 1960-70s - i remember being tackled by him in a local derby when i played for Accrington Stanley, the referee booked him and when he asked why he said 'For attempted murder' .....ahhh those were the days (3 years, 9 months ago)

Bond @ #44849: Don't try defining job titles, just put leaders, it takes marks off u for putting british pms (3 years, 9 months ago)

Mojo872 @ #45018: Thanks! The challenge with accepting just "B" (if I understand correctly how connections are scored by the site!) is that typing any old word including B, like "browser" or whatever, would result in being scored correct. Hence why I went for something more specific... (3 years, 9 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #44964: Nice (3 years, 9 months ago)

tilly @ #45031: Its not me (3 years, 9 months ago)

kitty @ #44800: Good grid but definitely not fiendish. Mad/crazy group could have accepted 'insane' as an answer (3 years, 9 months ago)

Chester @ #45031: How many? (3 years, 9 months ago)

Tonail @ #45016: You could have saved it for A for April 1. Good one, you certainly put some time in on that shocker. Looking forward to your next ....B ? ... nty (3 years, 9 months ago)

Cryptopher @ #45015: Only 6. Pity I don't know my abba from my elvis! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ducky @ #45012: Beautifully done and a lot of fun. Went round a few times. (3 years, 9 months ago)

J Hird-Evans @ #44622: I got all four lines. two deliberately and two by accident! (3 years, 9 months ago)

J Hird-Evans @ #44814: I knew recognised three Brians but couldn't find the fourth . I could see the synonyms for holy, but I still didn't get the line. Difficult, I did really badly! But fun (3 years, 9 months ago)

J Hird-Evans @ #44889: I got all of the lines and all of the links (3 years, 9 months ago)

J Hird-Evans @ #44955: I actually got a couple of lines this time! Enjoyed this. (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #45012: Luckily I don't sit on my brains (3 years, 9 months ago)

Bee @ #45005: Cloudy is not a synonym for cloudy but otherwise good! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #45012: Didn't manage any till the 3 minutes were up but was able to work out the categories then. Very good clues, excellent. (That jab obviously didn't do your gridding any harm lol) (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #45010: 😆 (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #45008: Knew watching Wayne Carini would come in useful one day. Enjoyed that TY (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #45010: 4* - never give 5* for a football reference ; ) I loved Time Team (and listened to brain of Britain sometimes). (3 years, 9 months ago)

Dianne Spry @ #44985: Well done (3 years, 9 months ago)

Aetees @ #45006: Well I'll be damned. I would have sworn that the Direwolf was a mythical creature. Always fun to learn something on one of these grids. Thanks for posting. (3 years, 9 months ago)

OD @ #44992: I said presenters instead of hosts for one answer. That should be allowed. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Dianne Spry @ #44981: Brilliant! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Tom @ #27868: Clever, clever, clever (3 years, 9 months ago)

Chester @ #44993: Now if you had put in 58008, I would have got it. Ty (3 years, 9 months ago)

Chester @ #44994: Never heard of a caret in this context (3 years, 9 months ago)

Chester @ #44999: Could not leave Labour out, very good red herrings and like most have learnt something about politics. Wd ty (3 years, 9 months ago)

Chester @ #44992: Very nice ty (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ducky @ #44989: Thank-you. A rare treat! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ducky @ #44992: Good fun, ty (3 years, 9 months ago)

Aetees @ #44800: Cracking grid (3 years, 9 months ago)

Aetees @ #44989: Too tough for me. All of the groups would be great sequences round questions in their own right. Very good though. (3 years, 9 months ago)

LSN @ #44988: Did I get any right? Not a chance but I should have done after checking the answers. What a brilliantly thought out grid! 🙂 (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44973: Phew, tough! (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44989: You were far too generous with accepted answers. Very clever very difficult TY (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44930: thanks guys (3 years, 9 months ago)

ceejay @ #44887: not bad, even quite good. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #44985: Does the barber have stripes or the barbers Pole (3 years, 9 months ago)

verasteine @ #44964: The sauces threw me for a loop until I saw the animals, nice work! (3 years, 9 months ago)

verasteine @ #44977: The elements group are also all metals, pity that answer isn't included, and the code group didn't accept code as a connection. Nice red herrings, though! (3 years, 9 months ago)

ChickenKarma @ #44977: Mortimer might be a little niche/obscure... but anything is better than Disney princesses. Smooth grid. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Koldorama @ #44972: Muy original. Muy fácil también, se resuelve de forma instintiva empezando con los infinitivos. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ducky @ #44930: Shakin' those tail feathers - got the bad words and the good grammar lines, tho partly from surface clues. Lovely distractions - the humble bee held me up for ages. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #44931: Love it! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ducky @ #44973: I was wrongly convinced of one option:( Made a good puzzle:) (3 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #44951: Aren’t disciples the same as apostles? (3 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #44942: Same complaint about stationery/ary. The first names stood out as the only capitalised words but were just first names to me. Never heard of Blizzardvark, whatever that is. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #44927: Mixed siblings = brother and sister? (3 years, 9 months ago)

Cal&Vic @ #44942: You need to fix the connection for the rubber/sharpener/pencil group from stationAry (meaning motionless) to stationEry (meaning what you intended). Otherwise, a great wall. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Tom @ #26846: Yours get cleverer and trickier but always a delight, struggled with Romanov (3 years, 9 months ago)

Cryptopher @ #44930: Got 3 of the ms, 3 of the rps and 2 of the ds. Completely missed the older ps, despite your earlier effort. Couldn't complete a line, so only 3 pts. Love the fish and remorse. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Scoobydont @ #44938: Ditto to previous comment :-) (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44917: The man who never sleeps!! : D : D (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44921: Too difficult for me. TY (3 years, 9 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #44931: Why thank you! (And well done) (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44930: Its fab but time beats me. managed the jackos line, plus 3 squares, flotsam, Sir Percy and bad words - quite happy with that! (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44931: Screen of confetti, completed with 0:01 left. Marvellous grid. Should be grid of the week. TY (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44929: Good (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44927: Yup harder, there were some in there I did not know Joel, Scott, Nick & Justine, so I only achieved 5/10 this time. TY (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44926: Easy peasy :-) fun (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44930: Not as hard as it first looks (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44927: A touch harder than the last one (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ducky @ #44926: Interesting connections and graded nicely for my level, ty (3 years, 9 months ago)

Juul @ #44925: As a mum - thank you! (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44902: Got Ozy and taxi pretty quickly, the rest erm, nope. WD Cryptopher (3 years, 9 months ago)

OTPriest @ #44489: Great stuff! (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44917: G'Day 😎 (3 years, 9 months ago)

OTPriest @ #44914: 6/10 I feel as if "dog breeds" and "NATO phonetics" should be correct group names, would have been 10/10 (3 years, 9 months ago)

gamnara @ #44920: I made an error in the entries to this grid. The double entry was supposed to be another word entirely. I was apparently not doing my best when I summited this because I appear to have entered my email address wrong too, so I can't fix it. (3 years, 9 months ago)

paul @ #44920: Do not use squares with the same words. This means interchangable answers need to be correct. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Hael @ #44350: The English-Spanish Cognates one is really dumb to me. There are hundreds if not thousands of those. There's no real way to even get that one. Maybe if there is a hint that one of them had to do with language. But without context that one is too ridiculous. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Al @ #44922: broadband Tim McInnerny (3 years, 9 months ago)

Hael @ #44802: Interesting but a little sloppy. Mckinley, Garfield, Kennedy, and Lincoln were successfully or tragically assassinated while in office while reagan was only shot. So it was a confusing connection. But you took Lincoln out of the equation to put him into the Mouth Rushmore category which is the easiest and most obvious connection on a fiendish board. The obama ended Iraq war is okay too. I believe he continued what Bush wanted and it took until 2011 to do so. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Mojo872 @ #44808: Top class. Big Beatles fan here and I *loved* the obvious red herring which I couldn't resist clicking on anyway! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Cajun @ #43154: awesome herrings. had me chasing my tail for a while (3 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #44559: The power group could also all be followed by up (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44917: Just a quick one for those of you about to head off to bed! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #44585: Nice grid (3 years, 9 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #44728: Never heard of wedge salad, and egg salad isn’t particularly common. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Juul @ #44879: Neatly done TY (3 years, 9 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #44912: Not a clue what any of that means (3 years, 9 months ago)

Cryptopher @ #44902: @jmelb - was that with or without the clue? (3 years, 9 months ago)

goose @ #44892: AWDLIUBHNWASJHQN (3 years, 9 months ago)

G @ #44501: So many red herrings but an excellent puzzle (3 years, 9 months ago)

Cryptopher @ #44862: I did - hence the "nut tree" - gathering nuts ... Only saw the other after your ref to jobs : D (3 years, 9 months ago)

G @ #44631: One of the best, challenging but fair and accurate (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44902: Excellent, only 2 for me-super hard. (3 years, 9 months ago)

G @ #44588: Tenor Bass Alto Treble are more usually vocal ranges rather than clefs - need to accept voice, range, vocal etc please part of body with changed vowels is clever (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44862: So true Cryptopher! I thought you meant they shared May as surname, hahah (3 years, 9 months ago)

rel808able @ #44869: Knowing nothing of anatomy really tripped me up. I like this puzzle. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Cryptopher @ #44902: All about lyrical works and their creators. Explanations are thanks to stjohn's excellent earlier work. (3 years, 9 months ago)

sib @ #44901: Time waster! If Martin is missing tell the police and stop wanking around. (3 years, 9 months ago)

sib @ #44901: Time waster!m If Martin is missing tell the police and stop wanking around. (3 years, 9 months ago)

verasteine @ #44851: The tv shows were really great red herrings. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ma @ #44871: Very hard! So many options!!! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Arlen @ #44728: Got it 4 seconds left to spare. Really liked this one; made me think!!! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Arlen @ #44751: Excellent, but harder than I thought based on "medium" rating. I had things that end in P for the set with -per. (3 years, 9 months ago)

SRW27 @ #44886: Good grid....thanks.....your house must be bigger than mine; we don't have wings!!! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Tom @ #44882: I believe using jones to mean desire is a lot more common in America than the UK. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Cryptopher @ #31028: To the Tower with you! Wasted all my time looking for Balmoral or Highgrove (didn't consider Osborne even though you made it obvious), to complete 4 different houses for one line, so didn't notice the sameness. Lovely set up. 16th century French peter broke wind etc. Like the explanations. I will try to copy. Thank you. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Harry @ #44882: Jones is a synonym for desire? That's a new one to me... (3 years, 9 months ago)

jokerman @ #44871: too many possible connections for first names (3 years, 9 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #44863: Really enjoy these grids Ducky, TY (3 years, 9 months ago)

RBR45 @ #44875: Enjoyable grid - enough crossovers to make it interesting (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44875: That was a JuJu new one on me. Good use of red herrings (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #31028: crypticstjohn - Here's one I did earlier (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ducky @ #44873: Oh nicely done. (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #31126: I liked this grid (3 years, 9 months ago)

Cryptopher @ #44862: Teresa and (other) Maggie had the same job! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ducky @ #44867: Lovely combinations. Never knew Flaccus (poor man), or Maro. (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44873: Enjoyed, clever and I learned something WD TY (3 years, 9 months ago)

Cryptopher @ #44849: Thanks for trying and for the encouragement. I know its not everyone's cup of tea. In future I'll put a clue or two in the comments beforehand. (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44871: Harold and James can be interchanged as indeed they were in 1976. Name grids are tough to pull off, WD & TY (3 years, 9 months ago)

paul @ #44872: Cant have two squares with the same word, as this means more than one solution should be accepted. Check the guidelines. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Cryptopher @ #44867: Grr. Double Nelson!! (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44867: @Jmeb - I knew you would LOL (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ducky @ #44866: Ditto! Got us lined up like skittles :D (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44867: Devilish, I kept trying to squeeze in S T (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44866: So they were the changed words grrrrr! Nice grid TY (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ducky @ #44849: Wonderful grid, Ty. Love reading the answers but I'm a lost cause. Just can't make all the necessary steps. Will play when you make them tho. (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44865: A toughie (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44862: Cryptopher, job was the clue - you MAY have missed it : D (3 years, 9 months ago)

SRW27 @ #44860: Good grid....thanks (3 years, 9 months ago)

Cryptopher @ #44861: I'm just too slow on these. Flattened by the vegetables. :( (3 years, 9 months ago)

Cryptopher @ #44864: I thought I'd come round to your way of thinking, but then got lost looking for circles. Silly me! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Cryptopher @ #44863: Beautiful (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44864: Trickier than the other for me-but excellent as always! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Cryptopher @ #44862: Just the 4 points after the reveal. I saw the theme but couldn't complete the groups in time. I was chasing up the wrong nut tree after seeing Teresa and Maggie together. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44863: Seamless! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ducky @ #44855: Not forgetting telepathy :D Nice grid, loved the dead line. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ducky @ #44864: Explanation, if necessary - No. 13 is sometimes not there as people avoid it. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ducky @ #44862: A very sporting chance, thank-you, but I was stuffed in the end. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ducky @ #44861: Loved the vegetable line - the getable in there to taunt us! (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44864: No 13? and the Silly/Me line made me furrow my brow. Quality groupings as always TY Ducky (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44863: Oh very punny LOL. Enjoyed that TY (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44862: Thanks, I just looked him up - he was stuffed and exhibited! \ : o (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44861: I thought it was on purpose, I was searching for variations on the Bard's characters. Up early? Up late? same thing some days. :-) (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44861: I realised and fixed it-oops. You are up early! (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44862: Right up my street. I was thinking of Mick The - a famous greyhound and thanks for letting us know the "lesser famous" ones were. (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44861: Oo er Missus! naughty use of lower case there to deceive us, LOL (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44849: Just kohl and Stalin : ( (3 years, 9 months ago)

dsljds @ #16253: Almost got me with the tarot fakeout! (3 years, 9 months ago)

dsljds @ #519: I've heard the American pronunciation of laboratory but thought it was just a lazy/common mispronunciation. But I googled it and apparently it's just their accepted pronunciation. Do have to take issue with 'aluminum' though. It's a completely different word from 'aluminium'. Good grid otherwise. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Mojo872 @ #44828: Really nice grid - I totally failed, but lots of excellent red herrings in there! Without giving it away, I kept plugging away thinking Evanesce may be an error on the part of the creator, but I was barking up the wrong tree! (3 years, 9 months ago)

cora @ #43002: nice and easy (3 years, 9 months ago)

cora @ #43170: nice (3 years, 9 months ago)

Mojo872 @ #43157: Thanks for the feedback - YMMV of course, but all I can say is I think if you asked most people to name a brand of toilet, it'd be that :p But perhaps the difficulty should be hard, not medium. Leaving that aside, surely that's the point, though? If the other three members of a group are fairly well-known, having a fourth that ISN'T (but is not totally obscure) is part of the challenge... (3 years, 9 months ago)

cora @ #43657: great (3 years, 9 months ago)

cora @ #43739: nice (3 years, 9 months ago)

cora @ #43683: nice! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Fun Man @ #44812: ^ got 10/10, ha ha (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44849: Just 3/10 for me this time. Some cringers and some chuckle makers in there. My particular fav was the grey alliteration, that was my 'in'. TY Cryptopher (3 years, 9 months ago)

Mojo872 @ #43305: Hehe - I'd like to say it was skill that I didn't include a fourth (thereby making the grid a bit unfair), but actually I hadn't noticed there were any! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Mojo872 @ #43734: Although come to think of it, Kepler is in Earth orbit, isn't it? So they're a bit less connected than is usual for a group (three gas giant probes, one space telescope). Still, I've updated it anyway :) (3 years, 9 months ago)

Mojo872 @ #43734: Good point, coyote37 - have updated the link keywords to accept that as an answer! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Mr Nicholas Leigh @ #10577: decent (3 years, 9 months ago)

Kyleolantern @ #44779: Very poor attempt at humour (3 years, 9 months ago)

Cryptopher @ #44822: Typical! I got the obscure ones and missed the attack line. D'oh. Thanks. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Cryptopher @ #44813: Thanks for feedback everyone. If I've got a theme the clues are easy to set, but I'll probably ease up a bit now. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ducky @ #44813: Good grief, I'm getting worse! Good going stjohn. The answers made perfect sense tho, which is some improvement. Keep em coming maestro (if you've time) :) (3 years, 9 months ago)

sib @ #44829: colour - we in England (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ducky @ #44791: The orb and veggies were the 'in' for me. And the Bs. So I got 2 points. I couldn't say I'm au fait with logic notation. Willing to brush up but these are quite sufficient thank-you!! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Classic G @ #44814: John I don’t think I’ve ever seen these kids on a grid. But they are really out there names which make them good for connections. (3 years, 9 months ago)

SF7 @ #44800: Really enjoyed it - wouldn't say it was fiendish as the website said but enjoyed it for sure! (3 years, 9 months ago)

HarryRae @ #44828: (Spoiler Alert) would you accept 'transport' and 'gems' as categories? (3 years, 9 months ago)

HarryRae @ #44811: Yes it's the trailer thing they transport horses in on the motorway but maybe that's too niche - have changed! (3 years, 9 months ago)

alesha @ #44819: this stressed me out omg (3 years, 9 months ago)

Alison Farrell @ #12749: Loved it! I love Friends and dogs and love when words with connections are contained within other words! As Toby below said - well constructed and crafted! Thank you! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #44787: Good grid (3 years, 9 months ago)

john @ #44814: I don't get why so many people are obsessed with the names of these people's children, it seems to be on every other grid and I've never heard of them outside of these games. Are they really that important? (3 years, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #44808: Another good one (3 years, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #44810: Good grid (3 years, 9 months ago)

toon @ #44814: rygby what is thar (3 years, 9 months ago)

Dee Dee @ #44814: Not much to figure out here - relies too much on just knowing the names of pop/sport people. (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44808: Good (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44813: Scored 6/10 (3 years, 9 months ago)

PotatoSalad @ #27560: Very clever. Took me three refreshes (around 8 minutes total) to solve it all - but very much enjoyed it :) (3 years, 9 months ago)

Cryptopher @ #44813: Clue - follow the money. Please let me know iof this has enough "hooks". Ducky - more practice! (3 years, 9 months ago)

DH @ #44752: Enjoyable, managed 10/10 (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jim Casy @ #44777: Fun! Kicking myself for not getting the Lady Gaga category. Wicked to throw in the integrals - almost missed them. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44791: Cryptopher, I got Casablanca, Julius Caesar and Macbeth (but I have made quite a few Shakespeare grids). I'm not good at cryptic but I think they can become easier the more you do them. (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44802: Very interesting (3 years, 9 months ago)

paul @ #44802: Very clever one! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Bob @ #15590: "judicial system" doesn't work, but "legal system" does? (3 years, 9 months ago)

cora @ #44687: I also tried zero as a connection. Good grid, anyway. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #44772: I wouldn’t describe treasure as necessarily ill gotten nor loot. I guessed at valuables. Good grid nevertheless. Thanks (3 years, 9 months ago)

SV @ #44798: Shouldn't it be "Columbia"? (3 years, 9 months ago)

Cryptopher @ #44791: @Jmelb - just curious, were they all on one subject? and did you get B+B? I'm also curious if people here are au fait with logic notation. Did you notice the ET and Casablanca lines? (3 years, 9 months ago)

Tom @ #32897: So very clever (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44791: Managed 3 - not lines - boxes! (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44798: Thought at first there were too many BBT, however I got the Library line first and the rest fell into place, so in all a good grid TY (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44791: @Cryptopher - I said "I couldn't" find an in. The grid is yours and your style. No need to change, the more you submit, the more I and others will come to recognise your method. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Tom @ #38262: Took me a while to work it out (3 years, 9 months ago)

Malcolm @ #1476: Stone age and bronze age must be singular, dark ages must be plural & ice age could be either - not a good set; As anon said, Manfred Mann; and wooden isn't really a type of box in the same way as the others are (3 years, 9 months ago)

Cryptopher @ #44791: Thanks for the kind words - makes the effort worthwhile. Sorry about the lack of 'in', I had thought the bees/butter and Alien/bus might serve. Something for me to think about for the next one. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Cryptopher @ #44789: I take my sweater off to you. (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44794: A bit of a Gem, and then not! WD TY (3 years, 9 months ago)

Malcolm @ #1469: Aren't Cox and Pippin the same thing? & Happy Mondays a band rather than a common phrase like the others (3 years, 9 months ago)

Chris Brady @ #44794: two reds.. (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44791: Took a screen shot and wrestled with this for 20 mins or so and could not find an 'in' anywhere. Love the reveals and my favourite has to be 'averse to ecstasy' - sublime! Great Fun 15* (not a typo) (3 years, 9 months ago)

Malcolm @ #1465: Oatcake They do sell rock at my local chippy, tbh, though i know it's not a proper fish name. It was chalk at the beach that surprised me (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44792: Nice one! TY (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44789: Right up my alley for fun word play (and learnt a couple of new words too). (3 years, 9 months ago)

Cryptopher @ #44746: Would you like more? I enjoy making them. Want to suggest (a) subject(s)? Maybe I can put a sequence in, hmm ... (3 years, 9 months ago)

Sequoiala @ #44719: Nice grid. The capital d in "id" is misleading though. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ms Picky @ #44753: Didgeridoo are drone pies i.e. 'wind' not percussion (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ducky @ #44746: Many thanks for this. Am training to watch OC final in a few weeks. If I play these and Yerushalmi's I might even answer a question :) (3 years, 9 months ago)

Sequoiala @ #44753: Nice one. Loved the cauliflower category. (3 years, 9 months ago)

SRW27 @ #38540: Great grid...thanks (3 years, 9 months ago)

Justin @ #44752: Good grid - some nice red herrings there! (3 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #44728: Thanks Gam. Enjoyed the grid. Only query would be that you could probably swap Leaf and Fruit and still have a valid grid. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ben @ #44702: it sucks (3 years, 9 months ago)

George (Izzy) @ #44691: Got distracted by the teachers fresh trim! Can I be you??? (3 years, 9 months ago)

cross dresser 80000 @ #44691: very good very good very good very good (3 years, 9 months ago)

T @ #44496: In welcher Welt ist denn cola bitte schwarz? Und beim Tee passts auch nur dem Namen nach. Ansonsten ein nettes Quiz, das aber interessanter wäre, wenn nicht alle Links über die selbe Eigenschaft gingen (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ted @ #44735: Looks like you've misunderstood the idea of groupings. (3 years, 9 months ago)

JorgViolspeeler @ #44678: Loved this grid! (3 years, 9 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #44688: Struggles to see the groups (my bad) so just 4 for me. It gave me the Hope group but I wasn't really specific enough so I'm not taking the point. I might have got it with a nudge! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #44719: Nice variety, but ID should not be capitalised (3 years, 9 months ago)

paul @ #44733: the two 'trip' categories could do with some explanation (3 years, 9 months ago)

Motz @ #44698: What fun! I got zero connections right up front (American, *shrug*), but I had a blast trying to solve them all. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #44678: Emily- Vera Lynn isn't country, but Loretta Lynn is! Great grid! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Motz @ #44713: Fun and tricky! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Motz @ #44719: Loved the category with birth in it! (3 years, 9 months ago)

E. A. @ #37700: Creator of the grid here, just want to say i added fictional as a response! Thx for telling me, I misspelled it. (3 years, 9 months ago)

E. A. @ #44114: I feel like "noise" would also be a correct answer for onomatopia. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jane @ #28578: Annoying that using the technical terms collective nouns and homophones led to correct answers being marked incorrect (3 years, 9 months ago)

Animadversist @ #44687: Better yet, unless the category is synonyms of a word with multiple different definitions, just accept "synonyms" to be a polite puzzle maker. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Rob @ #10711: Excellent Theming! Really enjoyed that. (3 years, 9 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #44698: @Sam - I agree with the Black Forest thing and have made a small edit. Thanks. (although I may have opened up an entirely new can of worms...!) (3 years, 9 months ago)

Motz @ #44687: This was fun! Think about adding some more synonyms to the answers. I tried "go in," "zero," and "bomb" for the last three categories and got them all wrong. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Robert Jones @ #44698: Excellent and different (3 years, 9 months ago)

sib @ #44705: Another wanker spoiling things for the rest of us. If you can't complete a grid what makes you think you can create one? Arsehole (3 years, 9 months ago)

sam @ #44698: Love the person and place links. A bit annoyed that black forest gateau was put in the general cake group. Nice grid x (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ducky @ #44641: Always play your grids Pookman6. Ty (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44672: Another setter with multiple entries in the top 200 Best Grids. Smashing use of false leads. 5* TY (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44675: Class, no wonder you have so many entries in the top 200. I felt a distinctive tug on my proboscis. all the way through. TY 5* (3 years, 9 months ago)

David Pearce @ #44672: Very good grid. Couldn't get the last link though and couldn't find the correct answer. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ducky @ #44652: Oh yes! Brilliant - a real humdinger. (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44670: So bl**dy annoying/frustrating but good. Really enjoyed trying (and failing) to solve the wall. Was certain solarium belonged to another and then I got too clever with myself with christening. Marvellous possum 5*+ grid (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44669: I enjoyed it : ) (3 years, 9 months ago)

sib @ #44657: Another E grid. Waste of time and spoiling it for genuine quizzers. (3 years, 9 months ago)

sib @ #44659: This grid makes no sense at all. It's all E's with no explanation (3 years, 9 months ago)

JorgViolspeeler @ #44641: Some of these answers were unfair to class as four of a kind - eg. the three amount of times in a day + how many in a year and the three short distance runs then middle run. (3 years, 9 months ago)

JorgViolspeeler @ #44630: Good number of red herrings. Thought K.P, King of Spain and Duke of Edinburgh all referred to a Philip and spent ages looking for a fourth. (3 years, 9 months ago)

R @ #44659: The worst thing I've ever seen, useless (3 years, 9 months ago)

E @ #44657: I am a sad and lonely individual (3 years, 9 months ago)

SeedyEm @ #44634: I liked it a lot, but a few improvements, if I may...? - Maybe change Cambridge to somewhere else since you get a 'bridge' on a ship. - I said 'Members of the US political system' and didn't get the point... (I realise now I should have said politician or politics, instead!) Really nice grid anyway! :) (3 years, 9 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #44652: Yeah. I finished the grid on my tablet which defaults to Alien for comments and I didn't notice. I also outed myself at 44579 (now unsurprisingly disappeared) after Fez thought I might be Lorna. High praise indeed. Maybe time to morph again! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Tedescopio @ #44639: Latin looking words, Italian boys' names: very easy grid as you can tell they go together. Never read or seen HP but that was the first category I found. Then it was just a question of choosing between Brighella and ribollita. Easy but sehr fun, danke schön! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jerome pipppin @ #44654: Get a life. Jerome flatley and Pippin/Pipppin are the same person! The comments were posted one minute apart with the same type of spelling mistakes ('where'!) and the same capital on first but not second name. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44665: Obviously not me (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44652: Ooops, sorry Alien DNA, wrong person, my apologies for attributing incorrectly (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44652: Haha, lifted by an explosive device of one's own making. After three goes (honestly) before accepting the reveal I only deciphered two 'Break' and 'Crimes' but that was enough to get me 3 points. I will have to do what I used to and that is do a screen shot and use a pen and paper. Bravo Foxymoron you get your 5* (3 years, 9 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #44652: The format is from Possum by way of stjohn & Ducky - the words are my fault. Sorry I tried but couldn't make it easier. (3 years, 9 months ago)

I was going to put half an hour before I saw Roy's comment, he's obviously better than me. I haven't seen this format before, can you or Possum point me to previous please. If you/she don't mind, I'll have a go at one and see if I can make it any easier. PS. Smiley can extend the time period for the pictures/audio. Is there anyway us mortals can do that?

stjohn @ #44549: Really quite good, thank you (3 years, 9 months ago)

Dave @ #44585: Premier League nick names didn't get a point. Other than that very good grid. If I'd seen spurs when looking for teams it would have taken a lot longer! (3 years, 9 months ago)

verasteine @ #44566: Challenging grid, would be nice if the Irish group accepted 'county' as a connection as they can all follow that word. (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44506: OK (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44499: @ Yerushalmi, um? OK! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Yerushalmi @ #44499: The word "Barbarian" comes from how the ancient Greeks used to stereotype non-Greeks as talking some nonsense language that sounded to them like "Ber ber ber ber", kind of the Ancient Greek equivalent of Blah Blah Blah. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Gavlar @ #44413: Did you find your keys? (3 years, 9 months ago)

VCM @ #44517: Can you have "thriller" twice (3 years, 9 months ago)

Baron @ #44510: Yes, that was fairly deliberate. Tried to have a few red herrings around. Or is that not allowed because it means there isn't just one complete solution? (3 years, 9 months ago)

HarryRae @ #44510: Black and White could be interchangeable here! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Cenedd @ #44493: If you google it you will find that between 1606 -1614 a man named Julius Caesar was indeed the Chancellor of the Exchequer, just not the Julius Caesar that you are probably all thinking of... Perhaps this is a step too far into obscure red herring territory. But it is a true fact that I now know because of this quiz. (3 years, 9 months ago)

LittleQuill @ #44493: There was a guy in the 1500s with that name who served in the role, guys. (3 years, 9 months ago)

cora @ #44469: nice (3 years, 9 months ago)

B @ #44308: Answers are unhelpful, so you get scored down. I put "parties", it accepts "party"; I put "in", it accepts "out of" : well, if you can be out of something you can most likely also be in it. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44491: Perfect for International Women's Day. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44436: Great job! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ms Picky @ #44464: Comedian does not mean funny, comedy may. There are three nouns pertaining to people who tell jokes and zany does not fit with these. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Yerushalmi @ #44443: Thank you too! I love using grids to introduce people to wonderful and unexpected things. (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44443: 5* grid, but have come to expect nothing else. Any grid with Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump grabs one attention, and when I finish typing I have to check out. Yerushalmi - thank you (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44439: Excellent use of red herrings, I really enjoyed playing thank you (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44438: Clever, rocks and sling never heard of in this context and I have been in the trade for many years. Kid group was top notch. Thanks (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ducky @ #44328: Very elegant. Ty (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44363: A good grid, just the right amount of red herrings to satisfy, thank you (3 years, 9 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #44364: @stjohn - Larry was my gift to make up for the amount of red herrings in that group. : ) Thanks for playing. (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44364: Lovely grid, I think you were very generous in giving us Larry. Did I solve the wall? - no, I chose three others ending with mine ending "g" Thank you Smiley (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44361: An extra point for everyone! (Would hate to peeve you by being petty). (3 years, 9 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #44359: I sat staring for 3 minutes. Completely blank. 5* (3 years, 9 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #44361: Miffed I didn't spot the design, but I won't be roving. You resent the best of pg. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ducky @ #44360: Spent too much time laughing. Beautifully done, Ty (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ducky @ #44361: Lovely complex grid. No points for finding all the red herrings, which I feel is unfair :D (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ducky @ #44359: I really like the CTR line - that 'what might have been' element. I bombed generally, doh :) (3 years, 9 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #44360: 5*. Spent all my time looking for the 4th corvid and missing the 4th raptor, so could only pick up chicken feed. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #44356: As good as/(5)star(s) (3 years, 9 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #44358: Ashually I found that rather plane and simple. Treemendous. (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44362: Grid ascribed very easy and it was. It was pitched just right, thanks for posting. Nice (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44359: Haha me neither! (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44360: Clap, clap, clap. Bravo 16 avian clues beautifully categorised. I think that you will get marked down (unfairly) by some due to the difficulty. Hats off to you. 5* (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44361: I was pleased with myself spotting Piquant, went downhill for me after that, Another quality grid J and it is nice to see variations (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44358: I really had to tool up and pitch in to get this done within time! ty (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44359: Had three attempts before giving up. Was certain there was an "emesis" connection. I would never have got the CTR line, good research. Thanks J (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44356: Such a pleasure to do. You are the gold standard. (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44358: Failed again at the last pugilistic hurdle. Thanks Ducky (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44356: Nice one Ducky, homowotsits let me down. :-] (3 years, 9 months ago)

Screedeath @ #37729: Haha! I'm not cultured enough to get the answers but everything was there. Bravo! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #44316: Excellent- love the chess red herring- fooled me! (3 years, 9 months ago)

franc @ #44171: * SPOILER / VERMERK 06.03.21 Änderungen im Grid: Andalusisch, Balearisch, Galicisch wurden aus dem Grid entfernt und ersetzt durch Flämisch, Schottisch, Tansnistrisch. Die vorherige Version fand ich bei genauerer Betrachtung nicht trennscharf genug in Bezug auf die „One correct solution“ Leitlinie: „A good grid should only have one correct solution with the links that the setter has selected...“ Ob sich dies positiv oder negativ auf Kniffligkeit und rote Heringe auswirkt, kann ich selber schwer beurteilen, daher freue ich mich über weiteres Feedback! :-) (3 years, 9 months ago)

Tempest22 @ #44353: Love this grid! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44346: Very good first go - the group I liked the best was the mouse one. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Tyler @ #38679: Uber has an umlaut, not a diaresis (3 years, 9 months ago)

Nunya Beeswax @ #32225: I have never heard of you Alexi (3 years, 9 months ago)

Nunya Beeswax @ #14124: I said physicists and it was wrong... so yeah constructive (3 years, 9 months ago)

eBarnz @ #44346: This is my first grid, let me know what you think! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Anna @ #38524: Why not put as the connections they all have arseholes? It's as valid as anything else you've chosen. And why do you hate the BAME community as much as you do? (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44313: Nice (3 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #44270: Family members = relatives (3 years, 9 months ago)

Devereux @ #43857: Omegaman, you do right. The scores aren't recorded anywhere, so if you get it right, it counts, even if the grid doesn't agree! 😄 (3 years, 9 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #12552: Nice (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44328: Hat's off! very clever grid W.D. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Anna @ #5548: It really wouldn't have killed the setter to have put spelled out the words in as well as used numerals. It's the work of seconds, and if you've any interest in setting an accessible quiz (as opposed to being a festering knob) it's not a bad idea (3 years, 9 months ago)

hello @ #44295: tire should be an acceptable answer for pop-a-wheelie et al (3 years, 9 months ago)

hello @ #44306: nightmare on elm et. all should have 'scary' as acceptable answer (3 years, 9 months ago)

hello @ #36344: I think you should add more possible answers to senator et al and pulpit et al. for pulpit: worship. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Lo @ #44303: so sneaky! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Lo @ #44308: ENjoyable (3 years, 9 months ago)

Toferino @ #44328: Lovely grid ! Liking the COVID theme... very clever. (3 years, 9 months ago)

gamnara @ #44319: Nice! Really enjoyed this one! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #44315: Excellent grid! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #44323: 'Have a function in common' is neither correct or adequate. Very poor. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jim @ #43870: "Period" and "Colon" can be swapped so I don't think the solution is unique. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Dash @ #44274: The "Flight" category was awful. The only clue that properly fits the stated answer is "Ptolemy" and Cthulhu absolutely does not have a silent letter "C" anywhere in it (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ducky @ #44251: Really enjoyed the theme and the Twit line - couldn't get it so twit was very apt! Different styles; different possibilities. SWALK (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44269: @HippyHoppy - I cannot understand as some items are missing from when I set it. I think I know which line you are referencing and I had corrected the grid. I will not explain here but the solution is now fully explained. Thank you for playing (3 years, 9 months ago)

big dave @ #44298: never seen such a ridiculous wall. only a neighbours fan would have any chance of doingt hat and even then i doubt they would get near completing it. wasted your time (3 years, 9 months ago)

Rekkedgecho @ #44307: Nice idea for a grid but you could swap Us and Get Out, and you could swap either Hidden Figures or The Help with The Color Purple. So it's a nice grid but a flawed one I think. (3 years, 9 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #44269: Great grid, really clever! However I'm puzzled by the first group.. (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44308: Enjoyable (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44296: Smashing, haven't played one of these in quite a while (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44303: Sneaky, liked it (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44301: Not a bad selection (3 years, 9 months ago)

Joe @ #44298: Rubbish (3 years, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #44270: Good grid (3 years, 9 months ago)

blue @ #44258: I agree for changing the brand grouping to "designer" or luxury as Tiffany is not a fashion/ clothing company. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Toferino @ #44269: Nice grid - the pedant in me needs to point out that 3.333r is actually three and a third. A third would be 0.333r (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44284: hm..very clever (3 years, 9 months ago)

LSN @ #44269: Brilliant! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ducky @ #44281: Same here. Nice! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #44284: Ho, ho, but no cards, no confetti. :( (3 years, 9 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #44281: Lovely grid. Loved the Mr Men!! (3 years, 9 months ago)

McLeod @ #44284: Very nice classic grid - a man of many talents. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ducky @ #44269: Caught on slowly so had the pleasure of playing for longer. Beautiful range of clues and answers, TR6. Brill. (3 years, 9 months ago)

toon @ #44274: never heard of " candle pin" before! I liked the "colon/colony" category. (3 years, 9 months ago)

franc @ #44207: ++++SPOILER++++ Von welcher Seite des Ch-Äquators kommen Sie und wie hat das wohl Ihren Blick auf dem Weg zur Lösung des Grids beeinflusst? (3 years, 9 months ago)

Roy @ #44270: nice (3 years, 9 months ago)

franc @ #44171: @Chris Brady: haha, nice one! what drove you to a german wall in the first place? @A: Vielen Dank für das Feedback! Das ist sehr hilfreich, weil ich sonst gar keinen Gradmesser für die Schwierigkeiten und roten Heringe habe. Ich denke Sie haben recht - während das Grid auf den ersten Blick sehr verwirrend ausschaut, sind die Verbindungen dann doch recht geradlinig... Zwei rote Heringe waren darin schon intendiert, aber je nach Reihennfolge des persönlichen Lösungswegs, kann es wohl passieren das man diese gar nicht mitbekommt. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Gerald @ #44213: Good effort here but San Juan isn't a national capital, Puerto Rico is part of the US. Also not really fair to have "San"s as one group and "Saints" as another. Loved the Mambo group! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #44269: Ditto. Great stuff. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44269: Caught on fast but loved it. Perfect, 5* (3 years, 9 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #44251: Well I liked it and it needed the stretch to be challenging. Thanks for the confetti. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #14: Properly constructed. Not hard. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #44258: Maybe allow designer labels for the fashion brands? (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #13: Yay. A proper wall. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #12: Infantile. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Dafny A Gutierrez @ #44241: sdvsvsv (3 years, 9 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #44229: Never heard of Havana club or Governess cart. Pretty tricky. (3 years, 9 months ago)

John @ #44262: We don't have flashlights in the UK (never call them that here)... we call them torches (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #6: Poor. (3 years, 9 months ago)

tim @ #14766: very good (3 years, 9 months ago)

Bry and Jem @ #44237: Hi there Timp. Question if i may? What does Pokemon et al have to do with genetics, i can't sleep thinking about it. Also, heads up, if i'm not mistaken Cicero was in fact ROMAN. XXX (3 years, 9 months ago)

Bry and Jem @ #44251: hi you have tried hard which is appreciated but got to agree with Ms Picky's comments. XXX (3 years, 9 months ago)

sebflyte @ #566: Brilliantly inventive. :) (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ms Picky @ #44248: Five star quality. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ms Picky @ #44249: Woolly or wooly - and is that really a type of headwear? (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ms Picky @ #44251: Bit of a reach, lacks the precision of this type. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Tom @ #10280: Clever and intriguingo (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44235: Excellent, did not solve the wall but did not spoil the fun. Thanks (3 years, 9 months ago)

Chester @ #44247: Good grid, a bridges too far for me, thanks for posting (3 years, 9 months ago)

verasteine @ #44227: Nice red herrings, took me a while to see The Beatles group. (3 years, 9 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #44247: Very nice. Missed Parasol and really shouldn't have! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Randy Faquuer @ #44243: Beany wanks his dog (3 years, 9 months ago)

Justin @ #44227: Nice grid, thought for a long time on which row 'Piglet' should be in :) (3 years, 9 months ago)

Dcas @ #38694: Why do these emoji grids always get so many positive comments? Baby cheeses , diamond scale_- seriously? (3 years, 9 months ago)

Neil @ #44167: Good grid.TY. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Rekkedgecho @ #44224: As already said, too many variables. Plus the fact that the 1's, 2's and 3's are interchangeable so the grid doesn't work. (3 years, 9 months ago)

SRW27 @ #8199: 4/10... very tough but enjoyable....thanks (3 years, 9 months ago)

SRW27 @ #27382: Great grid...thanks (3 years, 9 months ago)

JerseySue @ #43946: Safety for Escape? Thanks for the challenge (3 years, 9 months ago)

verasteine @ #44138: Nice red herrings! (3 years, 9 months ago)

verasteine @ #44224: Too many of the same options (like four 1s) makes it almost impossible to identify the groups in time because there are too many variables to try. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Dave @ #44219: I had toy story and breakfast at Tiffany's and both were given as incorrect. Other than that it was a good grid (3 years, 9 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #44209: Thanks J. I'm pleasantly surprised to find it still showing. I expected U&H. (3 years, 9 months ago)

A @ #44171: Sehr schöne Connections, so dass auf den ersten Blick gleich aussehendes doch sehr unterschiedlich ist. Durch fehlende rote Heringe aber eher auf der einfachen Seite (3 years, 9 months ago)

Roy @ #44215: (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44209: hmm that should probably be O&F! : D (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44209: O&R (original and fun) T&C line stumped me (3 years, 9 months ago)

julian @ #44200: The "Italia" group really stumped me... Very good. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Nunya Beeswax @ #42204: LED is not Led. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Julian @ #44166: I said "gases", it said "No, gasses". I said "fuel", it said "No, fossil fuels" I said "climate change", it said "No, global warming" I said "regions", it said "No, continents". (3 years, 9 months ago)

Nunya Beeswax @ #38544: I understand that the reindeer were clearly the red herring but having comet, asteroid, and meteor and then broadening the category just to make it fit with nova and pulsar instead of comet is just kinda lazy (3 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #44160: The Christmas story is also known as the nativity and the gospels were written by the disciples or apostles. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #44148: Things you put on bread are food. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #44114: Sub genres is getting a bit too precise. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #44048: A bookbag isn’t necessarily a backpack but all are bags. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #44034: Put clothing brands and place names for the football teams. Suggest some work is needed on the allowable answers. (3 years, 9 months ago)

tim @ #39917: I feel like CMYK should be a valid term for the links in that group? Fun board! (3 years, 9 months ago)

HMFC @ #44192: Who is Eric Cantana? (3 years, 9 months ago)

Chantal @ #44138: Great work team. Lots of fun! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Daxw @ #44138: Good grid. Polo being a possibility in 3 fields really made it for me (3 years, 9 months ago)

possum @ #44193: enjoyable (3 years, 9 months ago)

Tg @ #44200: (3 years, 9 months ago)

ethan @ #44034: so many misspelled things how can anyone get 10/10 (3 years, 9 months ago)

Chester @ #44073: Sehr gutes Puzzle (3 years, 9 months ago)

franc @ #44073: Ah, hier ist ja sogar jemand, Vielen Dank! Sie waren das mit der schönen MfG Wand, oder? MfG, franc (3 years, 9 months ago)

franc @ #44171: Huhu liebe connect Verbündete, ich habe zu meiner großen Freude vorgestern diese Plattform entdeckt! Seit dem habe ich ein Paar Wände erstellt... Da es ja keinerlei basic Statistiken zu geben scheint, frage ich mich schon wie viele Menschen diese deutschsprachigen Wände überhaupt machen? Ob meine Wände im Schnitt gut lösbar sind und Sinn ergeben? Diese hier ist vielleicht meine bisher verwirrendste... Wie hat sie für euch geklappt? (3 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #44161: Nice (3 years, 9 months ago)

Dcas @ #37861: Good (3 years, 9 months ago)

Sian @ #43111: (3 years, 9 months ago)

Richard Latham @ #43668: A clever grid. Maybe people who marked down the quality were looking for a normal grid (whatever that means) and had not appreciate the cleverness of using numbers as words. It would be good if puzzlegrid let setters add a comment ahead of their grids. That way solvers could be told if it is trying something unusual. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #44138: Yes, you had to narrow down one connection to avoid ambiguities but it's not quite right; polo field, tennis court, bowling green. Perhaps 'Not commonly scheduled over multiple days' works? (3 years, 9 months ago)

Nimesh Nirojan @ #44008: This was fun and easy. I recommend this. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #44083: Saw racecar and level, and thought 'not palindromes again', then realised there wasn't a fourth one! Great grid! (3 years, 9 months ago)

OTPriest @ #44026: Excellent grid! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Daarlo@blueyonder.co.uk @ #44149: Great! (3 years, 9 months ago)

tim @ #11973: There is a typo in this one (wollen should be woolen) (3 years, 9 months ago)

Classic G @ #44085: Aetees, that is something I hadn’t considered. It also raises the point that Elfo (spoiler alert for disenchantment) is only a half elf. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Cajun @ #43898: Transportation is misspelled as an answer (3 years, 9 months ago)

Pot @ #44080: Loved the last category "shoulder, butter", etc. Very tricky! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Dcas @ #30374: Good (3 years, 9 months ago)

Pot @ #44125: Found this really confusing, even after looking at the answers. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Marshmallow @ #44081: Thanks for the comment Si. That's really the point of the grid! (3 years, 9 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #44125: Thanks to those who created this particular format, it was great fun thinking up the possibilities! (3 years, 9 months ago)

possum @ #44093: Loved it, clever, 5* (3 years, 9 months ago)

possum @ #44101: really interesting (3 years, 9 months ago)

Dcas @ #37926: 10 minutes of my life I'll never get back (3 years, 9 months ago)

Lu @ #44078: Very high quality grid. Good rationale and red herrings. May not be feasible for most audiences. (3 years, 9 months ago)

peddars @ #44106: Good fun ... Didn't totally bomb out, but use of the "british" flag might have been a bit misleading ... LOL (3 years, 9 months ago)

R @ #44110: Nice but waaaaayyy too easy, pretty sure everyone will get 10/10 within 10 seconds on this (3 years, 9 months ago)

R @ #44101: Awesome grid, 9.5/10 for me, might have got the extra Belgium bit if she'd ask, we will never know! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Danimal @ #44083: Managed to do it despite spending the first 40 seconds all confused over a nice little red herring! (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44101: And I was counting stars! Well done as usual Smiley! 5* (3 years, 9 months ago)

BettyBio @ #44107: Oooh that was so hard. (3 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #44099: Really good (you may want to edit your answers for the de Bourgh line) 5* (3 years, 9 months ago)

Judith m @ #41159: Une bonne idéee (3 years, 9 months ago)

Aetees @ #44085: If I were feeling pedantic (which apparently I am since I am typing this) I would say that Buddy isn't really an elf, at least not biologically. I enjoyed the grid though. A rare full house for me. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Aetees @ #44041: Very good (3 years, 9 months ago)

Philouza @ #44041: Good wall, thanks! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Pop jimmy @ #38679: Sonjonath u r jokin (3 years, 9 months ago)

Si @ #44081: Nice concept but this is an imperfect grid, as there are multiple ways to solve. - Edward & Henry can swap - Anne & Gordon can sway (Anne being the famous soprano singer) - Anne & James can swap (3 years, 9 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #44019: Didn't get it all, but I really liked that. ; )) (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ducky @ #44019: I've never gone for these because one word per group seemed hard enough for most people, but this type does give you more options for crossovers etc, making even more of a challenge. Bloody Nora, I had to think fast! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #43893: I think the classic books answer is too narrow for this group. As they are from disparate writing genres I classed them as novels as I couldn’t come up with a better link. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #43857: Enjoyed the challenge, thanks but film titles = movies so gave myself full marks even though this didn’t. (3 years, 9 months ago)

franc @ #43830: Toll! Ich habe gerade only connect Quiz gegoogelt und war ganz baff deutsche Varianten davon zu finden. Diese Wand hat mir bisher am besten gefallen. Kreative Eindeutschung - Applaus! Ich war zwar nach einer Minute fertig und hab zehn Punkte, aber musste einige Male schmunzeln :-) Mein einziger Einwand wäre, dass "BtM" nicht ganz sauber in die Reihe passt, weil es eine Kategorie und keine Sorte darstellt. Ein Änderungsvorschlag wäre vielleicht MDMA, wobei sich das strenggenommen mit XTC doppeln würde. Aber es könnte eine nette Irritation erzeugen, weil vielleicht kurz der Impuls entsteht nach weiteren vierbuchstabigen Begriffen zu suchen... So oder so, Vielen lieben Dank für die Überraschung!

Devereux @ #43866: Good grid, great fun thanks! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Devereux @ #43857: Ofworm-eaten: there was never any intention of using the correct titles or translations. This was a puzzle to allow people with a smattering of French to work out what the answers might possibly be. It is what it is and it doesn't need any explanations. Sorry about the typo's. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Gridlington @ #43862: TR6, the results aren't recorded anywhere. If you got it right, but your answer isn't accepted, don't sweat it - you got it right! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Marley cat @ #42525: So fun!! Very clever!! Especially the potato part🤣 (3 years, 9 months ago)

sebflyte @ #28448: Fairly good. 10/10 in less than 1 minute 30 seconds. Surely "inexperienced" rather than "unexperienced"? (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #43987: I think you should still give yourself the points - singular counts too! : ) (3 years, 9 months ago)

sebflyte @ #25020: Right up my street. Thanks for making this grid. Nice work. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Bob @ #38526: It's a shame that you wouldn't accept "currencies" for "units of currency". It was pretty good up until that. (3 years, 9 months ago)

sebflyte @ #32600: very smart. Immensely enjoyable. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #43987: Very lovely. Happy I didn't come up short. Didn't get the confetty, probably cos I used the singular rather than the plural and didn't put the number. Just lazy I guess. Allergy gave it away. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Oh my! @ #43958: An excellent grid, that! (3 years, 9 months ago)

elliott @ #40024: too hard for me! loved it though :-) (3 years, 9 months ago)

Chester @ #43939: Satisfying, if not too challenging. Thank you (3 years, 9 months ago)

Chester @ #43871: @Foxymoron, thank you, I hear you and I shall try to improve ;) (3 years, 9 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #43924: Excellent. Really love a good numbers grid. Confetti! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #43871: @Chester - if that's your first go at one of these, its pretty good. The real skill is in making the two 'outer' words form a well known phrase. White....Chocolate, for example, works perfectly. If you can do that for all 16 and keep a theme, then you can become as exalted as Ducky and Jmelb. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #43925: JB did occasionally fill in on the news, besides her other talents. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #43929: Oops - sorry! Just meant not teenage types : D (3 years, 9 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #43929: That was harder than it first appeared, but very entertaining. Thanks J. You seem to be attracting a whole load of critics today, so ... who're you calling old?!? (3 years, 9 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #43932: Nice to see a film quiz, even if its one I can't do. (3 years, 9 months ago)

MattyS @ #43939: I’ve never done them before. I haven’t read every grid on the site. (3 years, 9 months ago)

DrewD @ #43939: Brothers and hidden body parts - again? (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #43932: hank you for your constructive comments. I'm sorry you are disappointed Matt. Please don't feel obliged to do my grids - particularly those with Buff added to my name. I do many styles of grids, I just like more variety than the ones with oft repeated groups. Its not much of a red herring when you've seen it several times in a week. Stjohn found it fun, you did not. To each his own perhaps? (3 years, 9 months ago)

toon @ #43936: BEWWWHEWWWWWWW (3 years, 9 months ago)

MattyS @ #43924: Good board. 6/10. My knowledge of Binary let me down. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #43929: I like to take the Only Connect main concept of lateral thought and apply it by moving outside the same repetitive format. Different formats encourage you to think different ways. Also, there are many different ages and types of people doing grids here, so I hope there is room for all styles. I tend to just ignore the ones that don't suit me and move on to those that I like. Happily a number of the older players seem to like doing my grids. To each his own, don't you think? (3 years, 9 months ago)

MattyS @ #43935: Great board, well done. Only got one connection in the time, worked another one out but couldn’t find the right options. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Matt @ #43932: Your comment about only being for film buffs can only be seen after you’ve completed the puzzle though. Even with that, you’re just listing 4 films by 4 different directors. The best boards require a bit of logic, a red herring here and there. This is straight quizzing. (3 years, 9 months ago)

MattyS @ #43925: A great board. The link featuring Richmond is a tad Niche, but I managed to get the other three links before the time was up (but only made one full connection) (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #43932: @Matt, that is why I list it as Buff and also add a message saying "only made for film buffs". Don't want people who are not interested in the topic to waste their time. (It would be nice if people who do sci fi/fantasy and computer games gave a similar warning?) : ) (3 years, 9 months ago)

MattyS @ #43933: Thank you! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Matt @ #43928: Nice board, liked the connection that included Hastings. The Zippy connection I worked out, but two of the four I don’t get the link, maybe give explanations in your answers. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Druid @ #43929: This board doesn’t work well. The links are really bad. I suggest you watch more Only Connect to understand how links should be made. Not fun at all. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Chester @ #43933: Enjoyed that. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Matt @ #43932: A little too niche and themed around one subject. Not fun to play. It relies on book knowledge rather than using logic. These should be puzzles, not questions. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Chester @ #43916: I really enjoyed this grid until Chicago line. Maybe that says more about me than the grid. Thanks anyway for posting 4* awarded (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ducky @ #43865: Sorry TR6. I thought it was too easy and ramped it up a bit. Obviously overdid it! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Chester @ #43871: @ Reg - no, I have seen these done before and wanted a go. If you like this type, see similar grids set by Ducky or Jmelb. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Pierre @ #43872: Schön! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Reg @ #43871: your format? (3 years, 9 months ago)

TR6 @ #43862: Very good grid, I felt a little aggrieved at my answer not being accepted for lack of specifics, but there you are. Cannot argue with the quality, Thank you (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #43869: That's odd TR6 because I have the opposite problem. Sometimes I get incorrect for the right answer! Oh well! (3 years, 9 months ago)

TR6 @ #43865: After doing your other one so well, I came back a got a big fat ZERO🤣 5* again though! (3 years, 9 months ago)

TR6 @ #43866: Love the confetti, class act Ducky 5* grid everything ties in so well! (3 years, 9 months ago)

TR6 @ #43869: 7/10, solved the wall, not sure how. I entered kate and shrew for the hot roof line and got marked correct? And I guessed the wrong Irish playwright for the pyg line. Overall very happy . 5* grid (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ofworm-eaten @ #43857: The solutions should include the fact that those are not the actual French titles or translations but rather literal word-for-word translations, possibly internet ones?

gary21 @ #43795: Following on from comment by oooops (and comments on grid 43668). What this site is missing is an enjoyment rating. Then you could happily give 5 stars for quality even if you didn't enjoy it. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Matty @ #43819: Ridiculously obscure and tenuous. (3 years, 9 months ago)

oooops @ #43767: Cannot one swap "fly" and "curl"? (3 years, 9 months ago)

oooops @ #43795: Grid subjects are down to the compiler, therefore no complaint there. That the player has no knowledge of the subject matter is in itself irrelevant. However, I believe these grids should (in theory at least) be fun to attempt. When failure ensues the player would like to know what the compiler had chosen and why etc. I find it helpful to have at least 1 "in" to help the player, unfortunately I found none. So although there is nothing wrong with your grid per se, people will grade the quality based on enjoyment, satisfaction as well as recognition of the final outcome. (3 years, 9 months ago)

ghost @ #43795: Sorry for the misspelling, I’ve updated and re-submitted. As for obscurity, doesn’t that just make the grid a higher difficulty level and not a reflection of the quality? (3 years, 9 months ago)

toon @ #43765: damn u arachnids 6666666666 (3 years, 9 months ago)

kevb @ #43745: Henry is mis-typed as HENY (3 years, 9 months ago)

J Silberman @ #43668: Thanks, Si, for your thoughts. I wanted solvers not to know if a clue is a word or a number - so they could not be shown as digits. Good point on the 'nineteen's. Your last point - it bothers me that people might mark down the quality because it's too difficult (that's what the difficuly rating means!). I also think that quality is marked down if someone does not enjoy it. Unfortunately, Puzzgrid has no rating for 'Enjoyment'. (3 years, 9 months ago)

christobal @ #43688: Good grid! Nice crossovers! (3 years, 10 months ago)

Lulu @ #43730: I don't think you will find 'montana' in a Spanish dictionary but 'montaña' will be in there. Maybe not a perfect fit for the category? Interesting combination of categories. (3 years, 10 months ago)

christobal @ #43739: Very easy. There were no crossovers/red herrings (3 years, 10 months ago)

coyote37 @ #43734: Nice grid- Galileo group could also be deep space missions though! (3 years, 10 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #43728: Motherhood for the hidden family members feels a bit of a cop-out, but otherwise a very nice grid. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Si @ #43668: Responding to the quality question ..... I think some would have rated it higher if the answers where written as numbers (e.g. 4) rather than letters (e.g. four) ... I realise this makes linking one of the groups much harder to solve. Omitting the 'nineteen' before the war years may have irritated some. Coupled with the fiendish level of difficulty maybe that is why the quality was marked relatively low (3 years, 10 months ago)

Ploopy @ #10577: Good one - once first line is done, the rest fell into place (3 years, 10 months ago)

Ploopy @ #30982: Good grid, but I guess it's easy if you happen to know a few of them. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Ploopy @ #43715: How obvious should they be? (3 years, 10 months ago)

Ploopy @ #21280: Nice grid, but easier side of medium. Queen one has been done a lot. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Tania Delgado @ #43590: Liked the activity. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #43706: Reasonable grid, but as couple of alterations would improve it. Tubbies had telly in front, not Tele, so should accept telly as well. Also correct mis-spelling of Graham, misleading to have Graham. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #30896: Very enjoyable. Niche, yes, but into my knowledge! Thanks. 'Bad' is not correct, it should be 'Bag' or removed. Maybe consider adding spaces to 'Rollercoaster' and 'Shoeshine'. (3 years, 10 months ago)

SRW27 @ #35663: Great python red herrings... quality grid (3 years, 10 months ago)

IanB @ #43680: Theme for the chocolate line is more than just chocolate, they're all Mars group products. (3 years, 10 months ago)

J Silberman @ #43668: Any ideas why this is down to a rating of 2.5 stars? OK, it's hard. OK, some may not like it. But what's wrong with the quality? (3 years, 10 months ago)

Pam @ #28189: I wouldn’t call coding a language as such. And what is DT? (3 years, 10 months ago)

toon @ #43676: VERY CLEVER x (3 years, 10 months ago)

Pam @ #38262: Yes, the groups could easily be swapped. JK for children etc (3 years, 10 months ago)

Pam @ #32895: Good, but never heard of burn after reading. Got 2 groups and 3 reasons (3 years, 10 months ago)

Xavier @ #43676: Correction needed - the Cbc clue (CBC is coincidentally the main Canadian news network) needs to be changed to cbb or bcb. (3 years, 10 months ago)

G @ #43634: Brilliant! (3 years, 10 months ago)

bubu @ #43664: it's faulty, 47 is not a square number (3 years, 10 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #43549: Similarly, can swap Rosemary and Basil. (No apologies, I love being picky!) (3 years, 10 months ago)

William Handley @ #43654: 7/10. I particularly enjoyed the "trouser" group and the red herrings. The "tin" group feels a little niche. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Stjohn @ #43637: Missed StJohn for the Elijah line. Only found one line. Cheers. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Dave @ #43651: Y? (3 years, 10 months ago)

miles @ #43642: wow! (3 years, 10 months ago)

Wyvy @ #43642: This is my first PuzzGrid! It's really tricky to create something interesting with multiple red herring sets while keeping it to a reasonable difficulty... I'll probably update it later with some better groups. (3 years, 10 months ago)

R @ #43565: 45 seconds haha maybe a sign I've been doing a few too many of these (3 years, 10 months ago)

DH @ #43600: The fish group is genius. cheers (3 years, 10 months ago)

Nunya Beeswax @ #33371: Marked synonyms for the angry one and it didn't count. It counts on 95% of puzzles... lets make it 100% (3 years, 10 months ago)

Nunya Beeswax @ #43309: Felt like to win you had to just guess all combinations of the 5 that were red herrings. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Tundra @ #43632: One of the most satisfying PuzzGrids I've ever done (3 years, 10 months ago)

DH @ #43639: Good grid (3 years, 10 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #43565: Overused maybe but still great fun to do. 😃 (3 years, 10 months ago)

Xavier @ #43624: Thanks for the feedback - I've changed the FBI clue. As for chests, it might be a regional thing. I was going off of this link (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chest_(furniture) (which I'll admit is a somewhat outdated type of furniture :P) (3 years, 10 months ago)

Jmelb @ #43565: So true! I apologise - oops, apologize! And there are many other examples, like the US presidents - can anyone add to the list? (3 years, 10 months ago)

Stijn Hommes @ #43565: Unfortunately, this puzzle isn't international-proof. In some parts of the world it's known as Clue instead of Cluedo, so that should be allowed as an answer. (3 years, 10 months ago)

MC @ #43623: I don't mind puzzles being hard but I thought this one went too far. Names of 'dwarf' planets are supposed to be general knowledge? And the original names of chemical elements, including 'Berkeley'? These are very strange details to expect anyone to know. And you spelled 'Poseidon' incorrectly! (3 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #43624: Not sure if Chest is a type of furniture really. A Chest of drawers maybe? Apologies if mistake. I also think if you're using Bureau you should type the full thing out rather than FBI. (3 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #43625: Sorry, but I don't think you get how these work. Groovy and here come dat boi aren't characters. They're just words. Justin Timberlake in 1998 and Neil Patrick Harris aren't characters, they're people. My mango is to blow up is very obscure and is also not a character! I would take this down and try again as it is a total waste of time in my opinion. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Stijn Hommes @ #43611: It's a shame the answer recognition system didn't work. I gave a one word answer for the group with "Briggs" in it and it was denied because the second unnecessary word wasn't included. Other than that, a pretty good grid. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Shang Feng @ #43619: Hard. And it was actually made by my daughter 🤣 . (3 years, 10 months ago)

leels @ #33: I put anagram as the answer but it said I was incorrect (3 years, 10 months ago)

bennio @ #43194: Still quite hard but well put together. Vector types seems a bit niche to me. There's also a couple of red herring complete groups - one for "ground" (zero, state, water, sound) and one for "re-" (pay, position, state, sound, place), which makes it more challenging. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Stjohn @ #43549: @cClassic G, sorry I hate being picky (3 years, 10 months ago)

Classic G @ #43549: Ah ok well spotted St. John. I usually try to have the solution be unique but this slipped through. However, at the point of submission I felt that Rosemary didn’t quite fit the group, as it is her first name and all I called the other detectives by their surname apart from Basil who doesn’t seem to have a surname.

Other Eric @ #21404: @Jack - you're right. Berry, Beard, and Prince can be Mary or Black. There are 3 different legitimate solutions. Of course the sets overlap, but they can't overlap to the extent that there are multiple solutions like what's happening here. (3 years, 10 months ago)

bennio @ #43267: Well constructed grid, although not accepting "berry" is probably an oversight! (3 years, 10 months ago)

Stjohn @ #43479: @Jmelb, to be honest, although I found it amusing to construct, I knew that it would be beyond the knowledge of most people and therefore not surprised at the lower quality mark. I had to submit it as the convolution satisfied my interest in the contribution of some of the finer support actors. And to incorporate 2 false groups amused me. I hoped that people might appreciate the answers. Thanks for giving it a go. (3 years, 10 months ago)

David @ #43510: Am I going mad or all the answers "-" ? (3 years, 10 months ago)

Jmelb @ #43479: A shame some rate on their capacity to do a grid or their personal preference rather than quality. Nicely constructed - and fiendish {: ) (3 years, 10 months ago)

gary21 @ #43470: I would like the connections to be explained. Having failing to solve the puzzle, I feel like a double failure when I can't apply your connection to all the clues in that group. With some effort (that I would rather you did for me), I worked out everything except for 'Dingy'. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Zeep @ #15868: They all have the same type of grouping, i.e. "add a word" Add George > Add war > Add calendar > Add city. Maybe switch it up a bit more? (3 years, 10 months ago)

Anton du Bec @ #43470: Good grid, maybe check the group containing Kayak, I'm sure I entered the correct answer but it said incorrect. Didn't spot the group with Dentist... very clever! (3 years, 10 months ago)

Fez @ #43388: missed the "wood" reference (3 years, 10 months ago)

Anton du Bec @ #43377: Agree with christobal, the four words are unrelated either with or without the e, seems a very weak link. Also the bomb group doesnt except ___ Bomb as a solution. Otherwise a good effort :-) (3 years, 10 months ago)

DVC @ #42967: Had know way of guessing these. Never watched any award shows. Didn't know things were left on the Moon. Newspapers have been obsolete for the last decade. The false category was only guessable if other options were eliminated. (3 years, 10 months ago)

HMFC @ #43022: Sterling Castle? Weekend haunt of Raheem Loch Lomand Golf Course? What’s that? (3 years, 10 months ago)

Not American @ #6833: This is hands down the stupidest and worst puzzle ive ran into so far going down the list of the most popular ones. The parents inside words are really amazing but it doesnt make up for the obscure trash that are the numbers and *cars* of all things. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Suze @ #43022: The spelling mistakes made things a bit tricky :-) Sterling is the currency, Stirling is the castle, and Loch Lomand doesn't exist. Still fun though! (3 years, 10 months ago)

Patrick Johnson @ #42599: I wrote this board, and all of the comments are complaining about the opposite category (contronyms). I think that maybe the category and the answers are significantly more complex than the rest of the clues in the grid... But here’s an explaination of each answer: Custom - something has been customised, or is a tradition Bolt - something that has been fastened vs something that is moving quickly. Buckle: Something that has broken vs something that has been fixed Trim: Something that has been removed, vs something that has been added. (3 years, 10 months ago)

bennio @ #42953: I was trying with -le for the -oo group. Never heard of "skidoo" or "gentoo" though, which made it too obscure for me. (3 years, 10 months ago)
