(MIKE Tyson, CHARLIE Chaplin, VICTOR Hugo, and OSCAR Wilde) 2. Lewis, Holyfield, Douglas, Foreman. Undisputed Heavyweight World Boxing Champions. 3.Orwell, Gershwin, Bush, Washington. Famous people named George 4.Harrison, Garfield, Taylor, Lincoln. US Presidents who died in office.

The answers for the fiendish one: Tyson, Wilde, Chaplin, Hugo (Famous people with first names in the NATO Phonetic Alphabet.) Douglas, Holyfield, Foreman, Lewis (Undisputed World Heavyweight Boxing Champions) Washington, Orwell, Bush, Gershwin (Famous people named George) Lincoln, Garfield, Taylor, Harrison (Presidents who died in office.) These were really bad considering there was a lot of overlap, so it makes sense that it's so difficult.

[@ripxdoc]

i got a hearty laugh out of "beeish, pardon my language" lol

[@radeklew1]

YO! In case anyone doesn't know, Only Connect is a quiz show with this format and it has tons of full episodes on KZbin, a good introduction may be the episode where Tom Scott was a contestant. It's super hard and will probably make you feel stupid, so just go with the flow and laugh when they don't get something you knew. If you get literally a single music question right you are a GOD.

[@alierk542]

2:25 "That's Bee S" most amazing joke ever if it was intentional

[@falthazar1]

"I'm gonna play some random quiz and game shows" sounds so boring. How the heck is this egg so damn entertaining? I can't stop watching these.

[@Blue_Caribou]

The thing i find most helpful for only connect is this: If you're sure a guess is a category, but there are too many options, set it aside for later rather than trying to brute force it. Think about what *else* those words could be first. Usually there's something which only four words could fit, helping rule out combinations of the obvious categories for later when you have restricted guesses.

[@KathARaptor]

[@somecunninglinguist]

My favourite only connect story is from Victoria on QI. Apparently people were writing in and saying that it was too erudite to use Roman numerals as category labels so they listened, and proudly changed it to Egyptian hieroglyphs

[@bevloy7517]

PSA: If you want to watch the show this is based on, theres alot of episodes uploaded to youtube by a channel called Only Conenct Fan, theres loads of them. Prepare for pogge British content.

[@YargleBlargle]

Thanks Yugi :0

[@Dot_Eleven]

Just because I haven't seen anyone put it here yet, if anyone wants to know the answers to that fiendish one. Hugo, Tyson, Wilde, Chaplin. Famous people whose first names are in the NATO Phoenetic Alphabet. VICTOR Hugo, MIKE Tyson, OSCAR Wilde, CHARLIE Chaplin Holyfield, Lewis, Foreman, Douglas. Undisputed Heavyweight Boxing Champions Gerwshin, Orwell, Bush, Washington. People named George Garfield, Taylor, Harrison, Lincoln. Presidents who died in office. So, basically NL was on the right track, the categories were just a little more specific and there was a lot of crossover so you need to figure out all the categories at the same time. And no, I obviously didn't solve it myself, I just let the clock run out to see what the answers were.

[@matthewjefferson9797]

I am now addicted to this game cause of this video

[@Alowishius]

I was not aware my favorite round in only connect had a website, thank you NL!

[@HairySand]

For the "fiendish" puzzle around 12 minutes the key is to find one of the categories and try all of the combinations for the first set. Then it can get easier.

[@ShawnStovall]

I would love to know what a King Shit is. lol

[@enbyennui]

only true real housewives of melbourne stans will understand

[@alexandergrant2420]

You have to systematically circulate the potentially correct answers on the fiendish levels, it is actually quite tedious and unimaginative. It is far harder to come up with groups that are genuinely difficult to link, but all these grids are set by amateurs.

[@alastairdouglas1737]

Game: swede North America: rutabaga Actual Britain: turnip

Until this very second, i always thought swede and turnip were different vegetables We do say swede tho

[@dustyb58]

I was kinda proud of myself for getting the One Eye puzzle, as soon as I saw Mike Wazowski and Cyclops. It's amazing how different brains can just see different things at different times because I doubt I would have got the nationalities

[@DevilboyScooby]

23:00 Gauntlet wasn't a very good clue as aunt is in the middle, not the end like the other three. There should always be consistency, like all at the start, or at the end, or in the middle. Not a mix.

[@popogeejo]

Amazed not at NL and ONly Connect crossing over but at how many people in the comments are hype for it

[@popogeejo]

Apparently I'm smarter than NL but then I know about those bastard "Word within word" categories they like to hit you with. The word play ones are always a fucker. "Ah ha, if you shift the first letter up one and the third up two you get the cardinal directions in Ancient Greek!" EDIT But then he gets the Nationality homonyms with "Checkish" and fuck anybody, that's perfectly good reasoning.

To be fair the fiendish difficulties mainly rely on doubling the number of possible words to choose from and making the connections further tenuous

[@muhilan8540]

[@SwAeromotion]

Specifically they were the four U.S. Presidents who were were assassinated.

[@Shabadaba1216]
