QWERTY was, for some reason, so bloody difficult.

Typewriter - that useless bit of trivia finally came in handy.
10/10!

One of the best so far, some excellent crossovers. Tutu could fit in three categories... in fact you could switch Tutu with Pirouette to make it even more fiendish

Banana hammock???
And "can all be typed using the top line of a QWERTY keyboard" is perhaps only a little less tenuous than "can all be typed using a QWERTY keyboard".

banana hammock?

I think banana hammock is the same as budgie smugglers or speedos. Tight skimpy swimwear usually worn by men who are old enough to know better

QWERTY as a connection? Poor clue. Others fine but spoiled by that.

very tricky wall

Loved the QWERY link. I remembered learning that "typewriter" was the longest word that can be written using only the top row of the keyboard. The rest fell into place after that.

Also, for those confused by "banana hammock" think "budgie smugglers". ;-)

Tough but enjoyable
