Most people seem to have given up on Connections and I'm not surprised. They're still unfathomable after it solves itself!

I am rubbish at this - this is the first time I have managed to solve it, and that was only by the skin of my teeth and a seriously lucky guess on one line grin
Ok, this was actually only my third attempt since this thread was started, but I can't see my success rate improving much however often I try!

Especially when you’ve found a group that fits . . . and then find it doesn’t.
I failed dismally on the Only Connect wall last night too.

When you still don't get it even after the results come up, it's time to give in.
