Same as others - bit disappointing when they're easy like that.

This site has millions of connecting wall puzzles on, and you can filter by difficulty/country of origin etc:

Did a few. Some good ones but some really shit (American) ones that would never be used on Only Connect.

5 possibilities for the gymnastics and 5 animals made it tricky. I left those and got the "emits light" first, then the other two were easier. [\spoiler]

The purple group I had no idea on, that was just what was left. Don't think I'd have ever worked out the connection!

Yeah purple was a really good one today.

Once I got the blue line it made yellow and green much easier.

Very American - I got it out with two mistakes.

I knew Spirit and Southwestern were airlines - Alaska and Frontier were the only others that made sense. Once the Western group was out, Lasso was obviously Ted Lasso but no idea who the other three are.

I assumed it was Biker Mice From Mars

. Didn't get anything with Smart in the title, but guessed it correctly.

Only other line I got was the 'Intelligent' one which I lost 3 lives on. Lost my final life going Cowboy, Outlaw, Sheriff, Southwest
