Do you know Only Connect? It’s a TV show hosted by Victoria Coren Mitchell that I watch even though I can answer less than 10% of the questions asked. I enjoy the show so much I made two pages on this site dedicated to the quiz format.

This page is the What’s The Connection format - what’s the connection between the four clues given?

  • All four clues have a common connection, and your goal is to figure out what it is.
  • To play, click on each clue one by one, starting from Clue 1. After each clue you clicked, see if you can figure out the connection amongst the clues.
  • You can guess the connection before seeing all the four clues. The less clues you have seen when you correctly guess the connection, the better.
  • If you have clicked all clues and still don’t know, click on Category for a bit of a hint, or click on the answer for the connection of all the clues.
  • See Question 1 for an example.

You can also check out the other page for the Fourth In The Sequence round here.
