Good effort, there is a group along those lines, but it's not Bean.

Word ones like that always sticks to being all 4 in front, or all 4 after. So I wouldn't mix it up in the same group.

The other group is maybe more of a specialist one. There should be some recognisable clues if you've got an interest in it but I guess no one answering has so far.

As it's you, I'm betting darts, which I have zero knowledge of.

I don't know anything about Darts either.

I only really watch three sports: Football, Cricket and...
But I think this is also a sport you have zero knowledge of.

There are sports other than football and cricket? :shock:

That's the group. :D
The connection is actually that they're all 1 time Snooker World Champions. But Snooker players is enough. Trump was also a red herring for that group as well as for the presidents non-group misdirection (along with Taylor and Johnson from that group).

So that leaves the connection for the final group of Jackson, Shaun, Alaska, Baked.
Steelback was thinking along the right lines suggesting it could be for Jackson Page, but it's not him.

Pollock?

NATO phonetic alphabet? Charlie being a poisson rouge?

I'll give you that. :)
Romeo is actually R, not Roger.
So it was the other four you named: Victor, Oscar, Mike, Charlie.

D'oh! Of course it is! :oops:

Is Walker as a surname an answer? I see Tyler and Clive, I know Grant Walker is a character in Batman, I would be bashing all combo of names to find the answer.

George, Daniel, Pierce, Roger- actors to play James Bond?

I can't get passed George Harrison or Steve Tyler. Or Walker surnames.

:lol:

I'm amazed I managed to hide one of the groups in plain sight like that. I even had a red herring for it as well. :D

A reminder of the wall and the groups so far...

Charlie. Arthur. Jonathan. George.
Roger. Taylor. Sooty. Clive.
Daniel. Grant. Victor. Harrison.
Tyler. Oscar. Pierce. Mike.


Phonetic alphabet: Victor, Oscar, Mike, Charlie.
First names of James Bond actors: George, Daniel, Pierce, Roger.

Which leaves two groups from:

Arthur. Jonathan. Taylor. Sooty. Harrison. Clive. Grant. Tyler.

4 are their first names (or go before it in one non-human clue). 4 are surnames.


So given your clue, can I assume that the 3 'Swift's' I know (Jonathan, Taylor and Clive) are completed by the Sooty Swift?
