Some of you may have played NYT Connections. I did today's last night and so was looking online for another one to do.

I found this but can't do it, and it doesn't give you the answers.

Can someone solve it and tell me the answers, it's doing my head in.

Maginot, Gothic, Siegfried and Mannerheim are not a group despite all being WW2 lines, and I'm thinking there may be something related to fairies/green with gin drinkers

I think this is the thing I ignore every single day in the GRcade WhatsApp group chat.

Oh that's frustrating I saw the diamond connection but kept putting in Princess (which is also a diamond cut. And Oval, now I think about it. They're all diamonds!)

"Kensington" is the one strawberry floating clue. (OLYMPIA), GARDENS, GORE, OVAL

Which just leaves "Characters in Swan Lake", which I should have really noticed sooner :slol: ODETTE, PRINCESS, SIEGFRIED, WOLFGANG

To be fair I hadn't scrolled down to see it, but I was wondering why my guesses weren't going down.

(Olympia) game me a clue about Kensington as well, but I got muddled with the Kennington Oval and didn't know there was a Kensington Oval as well

I was just imagining you hitting all the right answers, but not being recognised without the submit.

I was using the wrong terminology, I think. I just meant the "link" between the four choices rather than "clue". I wish it'd give you a hint :(
