Yeah, I am certainly no genius but it does need to be a little bit tougher. Red herrings and a time limit would sort the Claire's and Alan's out from the Pete, Crosby Nick, and Tubby

Was about to call you a cheeky twat but seeing as you called yourself out in it too, I’ll allow it!

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #81 on:** August 25, 2023, 03:09:54 pm »

Fucked it again though. I’m obviously flash because I had a fifth item on there that can be found in a kitchen.

Ah, that's the one I've seen on the only connect reddit, you can make your own on it

Thought some smarter people on here would come up with some good ones. No idea if this will work or be good, but had a go myself at a Liverpool related one.

I solved it but with one life remaining so a close shave there.

Spoiler

I got the greek myths one first, then stared at it and got the newspaper sections kinda by accident cos linked them in a different way '_____ LEADER' style leader isn't a thing but it worked out! Rappers names cos it was the only explanation I had for Gucci being there along with Notorious and Foxy. didn't see board games at all but that's me free one

Got the first 2 lines easy then started to panic as couldn't identify the 4th font in the group. Then It just clicked and I remembered that I had seen Papyrus as a font type somewhere along the line.

Toughest yet for me

Interestingly, having caught up today with the last week's worth, the 26th Aug one I got in like 30s with 1 small error (I immediately got greek myth and board games, saw business/national/opinion and realised they were newspaper sections, and misclicked on Killer which was next to Style as I was coughing lol - otherwise would have been zero mistakes).

But the 25th (that you all seem to have found easy) I spent 5 mins on, got my first line after doing what I do on Oreal walls and permuting all 5 possible connections (the party one) and getting 3 incorrect, found 5 parts of a kitchen so permuted those and got it on the second attempt, before it finally clicked.

Don't know any American poets and still don't, spotted the instruments and knew it was woodwind but my brain didn't clock the double letters early enough to stop me adding Bassoon into each try
