I’m hanging my head in shame.

Today's was tricky, wasn't it? I got hung up on one category, and lost two lives, before seeing the other possibility. I did it, but by the skin of my teeth.

Me, too. I was happily clicking away at a group of five, like they do on Only Connect, leaving one out each time, and hadn't realised that I was losing lives!

The one someone recommended here on Gransnet a while back is harder. For me it's almost impossible as it's rather UK-culturally centric.

Well! I was about to say how much easier it is than the Only Connect version. Then I failed miserably today. grin

So did I- no sooner had I made a 3rd attempt on the second line than it did it for me ☹

Thank you for the link, JackyB.

To redeem myself, I’ve just done puzzgrid.com/grid/67825. By the skin of my teeth. grin

Didn't get today's. There's some very American things in there I'd never heard of.

I got two of today's lines but there were three in the other lines I'd never heard of.

How's that then? Today's must have been easy. Like Mollygo I got them all without any mistakes.

I subscribe to NYT and play their games. I also play games, like Blossom & Wordle, on Merriam-Webster.
I love word games.

I must confess that I have no idea what some of today's connections are. Pure luck.

Me neither, Parsley, it's American terminology.

Mollygo is getting good at these! I was fooled by one of the red herrings today.

Yesterday's green row was "US cable channels" - none of which I had heard of, as others seem to have found, too.

Failed!
Got two rows but then it was too American for me.
