Argh! That was difficult! Just about had all the connections but didn't actually manage to find a full four in any group before the time ran out! I wasted a lot of time at the start as I had gone down the wrong route on what the links were going to be. Very good, would have liked a bit longer and I think I could have got all 10 instead of the 4 I managed for the connections. As ever, a good grid.

Incredibly difficult....i get what your'e trying, and appreciate it, but even after identifying some of the missing words, it was really difficult trying to grasp what you were after as links? Maybe just me being a bit slow.

Amazingly I got this all correct in the time. I really like your grids but often difficult to finish in the 3 mins even if you can work out the links.

Peekay- thanks for commenting- the explanation was lengthy but I keep accepted terms as broad as I possibly can- you don't need to word the answer perfectly. Things like "plant" will do. Hopefully folks will get 1 or 2 easier ones, spot a pattern, work out the harder ones (possibly with pen and paper and a couple of tries?)

Ruth- thanks for proving that it can be done! Hat's off, it wasn't an easy one :)

Lost on misch

would have been perfect with a little more time. . . and if i had a pencil and paper! kept forgetting the words

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.
