My first connect-wall was too easy; here is a hard one, as promised.

There are four categories of five words each:

wetsuit         crystal         blue        lie

sink            wire            bear        aura

barcode         marker          swiss       LED

gate            syrian          airbag      hail

saga            relay           duck        IC

Enjoy!

Hints:

  1. Time to get innovative! (Maybe the clock will be your Bain?)

  2. You can replace "syrian" with "tulum"

  3. Wired in by now?

Possibly?:

A

Electronic components: ic (Integrated Circuit), led (Light Emitting Diode), gate, relay, wire, possibly crystal instead

B

Actions: duck, lie, sink, possibly hail, bear, and relay

C

Airlines: Blue, Swiss, Syrian, possibly Aura and Saga

Which leaves

wetsuit, barcode, marker, airbag, and possibly hail, bear, relay, crystal, aura, and saga

  • $\begingroup$ I'm afraid they are all wide of the mark, sorry! By the way, "gaye" is "gate" in the puzzle. $\endgroup$ – hat Dec 24 '18 at 14:29

    $\begingroup$ @OmegaKrypton I was hoping that you had some tricks I could could use; the old <br> works but it's by no means elegant...pity the formatting is poor when it comes to spoilers. $\endgroup$ – hat Dec 24 '18 at 14:43
