Seems a copy of Only Connects 'Wall'.

Mr E

Started this today and was going to post a thread.

Love this (despite one of the groups not making any sense, even after googling what it means!)

Spoiler about the group:

Need to slow down and look at the bigger picture - some of today's words fit multiple categories, but would've left gaps. Big picture!

Fun game though 😁

Not a fan of the fact that there was some overlap in some of them.

For eg. The official answer was Flock, Pack, Pod, School.

But in one of the other categories was Pride, which could have fit this group too.

I'll give it another go I guess.

Mr E

That's part of the puzzle. You can't click and hope for the best. If there are 5 or 6 linked answers, work around it and look at the others first.

That's the whole point (in only connect, at least).

There are usually one or two red herrings that throw you off because they fit in multiple categories.

So, the trickiest one is always the one that is left over? Is this a design flaw? 🧐

Not quite, the category colours denote how easy or hard they are, just so happens that sometimes the purple (hardest) is so obscure that you end up with the answer by it being the last ones left.
