Woah! This was a tricky one. A very powerful one. I made three errors in fixing it, and albeit it was so much tougher than those I failed final week. The issue right here (for me at the least) was that so lots of the attainable solutions might have gone collectively. That is at all times (or typically) a consider Connections, after all, however as we speak the issue was significantly pronounced.
As an example, I guessed timber first, placing CHERRY, ASH, CHESTNUT and GUM collectively. No cube. So I attempted warmth sources, with WOOD, ELECTRIC, GAS and HEATER. However improper once more. After which I assumed possibly there was one thing about hair coloration: CHESTNUT, EBONY, ASH, CHERRY. However that was incorrect too.
After many minutes of deliberation, I put the ‘Scorching tub elements’ group collectively and solved what was supposedly probably the most tough of the 4. Then revisited the fuel-related solutions and labored out that charcoal completed that group.
Subsequent, I targeted on ADAGE and MAXIM, which I might see should go collectively and which did not match elsewhere so simply. I assumed possibly SAW could be related, then realized that ‘previous chestnut’ additionally match, and solved the yellow group. And that left the blue timber group for me to resolve by default; my lacking reply earlier had been EBONY, which I knew was a kind of wooden so I do not know why I did not consider it on the time.
