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

Yeah I made the same 4 guesses about 3 times. Never had that reminder pop up before.

Yep, back with a bang today. Quite easy

Can't remember which one it was last week but I didn't get one line. Christ, it was tough

Actually, it was this one and the Bassoon really fucked me over too

Yeah, at first I thought it was a really clever puzzle with obvious red herrings, then realised it was, in fact, exactly what it looked like.

I've been disappointed with the last few days, feel like the groups have all been very obvious.

Exactly what I thought, too. Spotted the obvious within a few seconds then, after poring over it for 5 mins searching for other links, figured "Fuck it, I'll give the obvious a go"

I got it wrong first go because I was thinking "Only Connect" where that would have been a devilishly fiendish wall with loads of red herrings. In fact it was ridiculously easy as others have said.

Claire. · « **Reply #145 on:** September 7, 2023, 11:52:26 am »

Yeah, I was thinking it couldn't be that simple and thought of a few ways to connect them in other ways but couldn't get a solid 4 so tried the film titles.

I was the same with the blue line and the purple one. Got my first two lines then gawked at it for 5 mins before shuffling, spotting the blue line straight away, and scolding myself for being such a dumbarse.

The purple line was left but I still didn't get the link until it told me.

It’s really nothing like Only Connect. No tricks as such, but then it’s designed for a mainstream audience. Nice way to kill time while bored at work.
