After yesterday's fiasco, this was a bit more like it. I'd've never got the last one, except by default.

Most people found this one difficult (or, indeed, impossible). The 'Connections' group on FB that I'm in is full of posts saying that the poster "bombed" (the favourite phrase). Still, better that than ridiculously easy, like the recent film titles one.

I'd agree it was difficult but it was entirely fair. There weren't even that many ambiguous clues.

Agree, I'm not sure what made this one so difficult, and yet it was.

Well analysing my own attempt.

I started off looking at the fish but I could see five possibilities so I did heat sources and got that one straight away.

Then I did the baseball, but put "walk" in instead of "safe". Realising there were five baseball terms, I returned to fish and got two wrong combinations.

Then I went back to baseball and realised that "walk" could be eliminated if it was baseball calls.

After that, I still had five fish but realised I had several words that don't sound the way they are spelled. It took me a little while to convince myself that the "l" in "walk" is silent, but after that it was plain sailing.

That's very similar to mine

It might have helped if I'd ever heard of the verb "to catfish".
