About the Book. Since first airing in 2008, Only Connect has built a devoted following for its uncompromising quizzing style, rewarding contestants who spot obscure links between seemingly unrelated clues. This official quiz book brings that same rigorous, playful spirit to the page, collecting more than 200 entertaining challenges - including brand new questions never broadcast on television. The puzzles are organised around the four rounds that make the show famous: Connections, where teams identify the link joining a sequence of clues; Sequences, which test the ability to predict what comes next; the notorious Connecting Wall, requiring players to sort sixteen items into four hidden groups; and Missing Vowels, a fast-paced dash through de-voweled words and phrases. Victoria Coren Mitchell provides introductions throughout, adding wit and context to each section, while question editor Jack Waley-Cohen - himself a former Only Connect contestant turned Question Editor for the show - curates the puzzles with the same exacting standard that has made the programme a cult favourite. Whether tackled alone or as a team quiz night, this book rewards patience, curiosity and a taste for the delightfully obscure.. Over 200 genuine Only Connect-style puzzles, including new unbroadcast questions. Covers all four iconic rounds: Connections, Sequences, Connectin
