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?

C

  • $\begingroup$ I'm afraid they are all wide of the mark, sorry! By the way, "gaye" is "gate" in the puzzle. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @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. $\endgroup$
