Woah! This was a tough one. A really tough one. I made three mistakes in solving it, and frankly it was a lot harder than the ones I failed last week.
The problem here (for me at least) was that so many of the possible answers could have gone together. That's always (or often) a factor in Connections, of course, but today the problem was particularly pronounced. For instance, I guessed trees first, putting CHERRY, ASH, CHESTNUT and GUM together.
No dice. So I tried heat sources, with WOOD, ELECTRIC, GAS and HEATER. But wrong again.
