I’ve just found myself l thinking “I wonder if there’s a written transcription of this book I’m listening to in Audible” and I reckon I need more coffee this Monday morning.

It's from a couple of weeks ago, but this would be worthy of Daytime Snaps, if they were on Bluesky. (This target is achievable!)

If you need to permanently decorate a room with Russian letters, I recommend using acyrillic paint.

I would just like to highlight and applaud whoever decided to do these book titles for Bear in The Masked Singer. Never referred to even once. #Macbearth

By George I’m finally certain on a Masked Singer singer. Kingfisher - I know who you are! (Posting this now to absolutely humble myself by being wrong in however many weeks time)

@thinkygames.com I am now back connected to t'internet but I see you have done your sleuthing. Anything that doesn't make sense, drop me a line and I'll also join you in mild confusion.

The Traitors S3 UK is reasonable so far, but can we all agree that the word PREVIOUSLY with the Traitors logo over IOU is silly and doesn't actually make sense.

All right, fun's over. The #OnlyConnect CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS SPECIAL kicks off in half an hour: 2023 champions the Strigiformes grapple with 2024 champions the Thrifters. The teams are lovely. The questions are not. 8pm on BBC Two.

And now - the answers! Here's the crossword that featured in last night's Only Connect (cryptic and quick versions with the same answers) and their solutions as well. PDFs of all these can be found at danielpeake.com/blog1/my-puz... #OnlyConnect

Have a New Year, everybody! Hopefully it'll be glorious and happy of course, but gestures at world I'll be focussing on the new - new sights, new sounds, new tastes, new friends, new puzzles, new experiences. That's all I can ask from 2025 - let's just hope happy comes into the equation as well.

Do remember to stand and lift your left leg off the floor at a couple of seconds to midnight tonight. That way you'll start the New Year off on the right foot...! (I'll genuinely be doing this later)

As I just explained on TV, the tiny crossword visible in tonight’s opening shot was created by our brilliant team member Dan Peake and CAN BE PLAYED! To save you copying it off the television, here are photos of both these simple and cryptic versions. Happy New Year! We love you. #OnlyConnect

I've made another crossword! There's a cryptic and a quick version, both with the same answers, some of which have relevance to Only Connect. A PDF version of the cryptic and quick can be found here: danielpeake.com/blog1/my-puz... I'll publish the solution tomorrow. Enjoy! #OnlyConnect
