    Naah, this game is basically segregating sixteen words into four groups of four words each. Each group shares something common between themselves.

    Well, no. It isn't EXACTLY like OnlyConnect, is it?

    It's the same game as in the "Connecting Wall" round of Only Connect. But of course that's not the only round that they do.

    I've enjoyed playing a few rounds @Zydus so thanks for the link.

    This is a better one than connections. Connections is quite hard and American type words. I like Play Strands, so shall add it to my daily routine :)

    Yeah, Strands is utterly brilliant.
    It's currently my favourite puzzle game.

    Gave Strands a go today, got completely thrown by "Walk this way" as the theme because I was looking for Aerosmith / Run DMC / rock music type words :laugh:

    Got a word by fluke and then it all came together.
