Just one group and three links. Some (for me) obscure items like "west", "hope" and ""flying" (why not just "fly"?) prevented me from finding more groups. A tricky one.

Was thinking the same as Orlando... though Han instead of Hope would've helped me!

Considering the incredible amount of Soccer that populates this board, I figured Hope to be a gimme. She's got 2 Olympic Golds, 1 World Cup win, and was voted best goalkeeper in the last two World cups.
Flying was used to false cross to this line.
Can I ask, when y'all watch Only Connect, are you getting all of them from your chair? I find myself patting myself on the back just for finding one sometimes.

Never heard of a few but stumbled into a full house .not bad

I got three. Apparent after the sorting. Cheers.
