Smug to have gotten full points but it took me a while to get going. Nice work!

You should be a House of Games question writer, honestly. Seems you'd be good at writing Answer Smash.

Andy P @ #24980: You might enjoy my unofficial 'House of Games' question group on Facebook if you enjoy puzzles like this. It's very similar to the 'Answer Smash' round from the TV show. https://www.facebook.com/groups/305752400278560 (5 hours, 53 minutes ago)

Took me a while, thought it was impossible at first but got there in the end, great quiz!

And thank you for the compliment, I do love that programme! You'd be good at one of these, inventive brain

What the heck are Rag Week and Spanish Walk?

rag week in British English
(ræɡ wiːk) education. (in British universities) a period, usually a week, in which various events are organized to raise money for charity, including a procession of decorated floats and tableaux
walk Spanish: To force someone to leave, usu. from a public place, by lifting him by his coat or shirt collar to a walking position and propelling him toward the door

Not smug at all jolly- you enjoy the victory! Hopefully starting to see what to look for in my grids!

I do enjoy these Lorna not that I always solve 'em. Thanks for posting

Cruel! So often I get 3 of these clues but the style means you can’t guess the last one. Satisfying when I do get them though, thanks Lorna :)

As in you get 3 clues but not the group or you get 3 groups?
I do listen to this feedback as I want my grids to be challenging but satisfying.
My aim is to give one "hook" per group to get you started, and a spread of subjects so that if you find one group harder you get the first 3 and have time after to spot the link. Thanks for commenting, I'm still developing styles and gauging difficulty, so constructive feedback really helps!

4/10, I congratulate you and me. ;-)

Grrrrrr I'm really angry because I've never heard of something and it's in a puzzgrid! You're literally at a computer. Ever heard of google?

@Lorna: I can often guess or realise the last answer in a group, once I’ve got the connection. That can’t be done if you need to work out the answer in order to see if it’s part of a group. That’s not a criticism, I enjoy your grids and I’m starting to see some of your tactics!

Feedback very much appreciated! I try to back- chain my answers so that I'm not guilty of mind blindness- you shouldn't have to make too much of a leap- I like people to be able to work out the link from the given information- more satisfying than just knowing/ not knowing- by having paired clues I was hoping that the less obscure one would help with the harder one. Spotting the link in this type of grid is usually a bit of a memory test so it's probably an idea to write stuff down or take a couple of goes! It's good to get feedback to see what works, what's too hard/ frustrating, as I'm trying different styles and approaches. Good luck with the rest!

ps I need to come up with some new tactics, to dodge perceptive folks like yourself! ;)
