Anyone tried the new game 'Connections'

We love it though it's references are sometimes a bit too 'American'

Not sure that it's new. It's been part of our family Quiz thread on WhatsApp for a few months now!

I can't share!
It was much easier than the one on BBC2!

Been live since June. I do all the nyt games, tempted to subscribe.

Thanks for suggestion. Definitely easier than BBC.

Thanks for that Elless.
We enjoy the Monday evening quizzes on BBC2, especially Only Connect. This one can fit into my morning quizzes, Popmaster and Wordle. 👍

My son and I love Only Connect and between us answer quite a few. He is brilliant at missing vowels. We save the programmes so we can do them together as neither other halves are interested, must tell him about the on line version.

They have an offer for 50p a week for 6 months (£12.00 a month thereafter unless you cancel)

We love Only Connect but Victoria Coren Mitchell can't half talk - imagine having her as a dinner guest 😂

Are there any special benefits to subscribing rather than just googling?

I don't mind 50p a week - the compilers can't be expected to work for nothing. I think there are some features available to subscribers only, but I'm not sure what they are yet.

Today. Is there an easier way of adding results?

I can't copy and paste mine at all! Unlike Wordle.

On my android phone once completed it shows me a link to 'show results' - the share tab is on there.

Thanks OldFrill. As soon as I scrolled down on the show results, I found the share tab.

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