	Once more, the "common bond" clue is harder than the ladder. Great quiz!

	ah i was expecting a four letter word. silly me.

	Relatively new user, and I have to say this somewhere. Sporcle REALLY needs to give the quizmaker's extra instructions PROMINENCE at the top, not hidden four bullet points into an otherwise boilerplate list. (Yes, I thought the common bond was part of the ladder...)

	i also thought the bond was a continuation of the ladder.. would never have gotten it..but fun quiz otherwise :)

	I do not like ladders where the common word is not part of the theme. Just my $0.02

	Not sure if it would make it too simple for some, but in these cases I'd quite like an indication that the common bond is a word which can precede the marked ones. Even knowing it wasn't part of the ladder, I was trying to think of a THEME like 'Titanic' or something :/

	I thought this was fun, and cleverly done. The quizmaker worked a dozen words into the ladder that fit the theme. I have no problem with the common bond not fitting the four-letter theme; it's just a game with two separate parts. First part is completing the word ladder; second part is figuring out what the bulleted words have in common.

	I think BAGS could use a little work, and LINE is clued as an adjective--you might want to add an "It's". Otherwise solid quiz, although I agree with others that the common bond is pretty difficult.

Comment below threshold: show it

	contemplated the common bond for a good 90 seconds, and just before i give up, "air" crosses my mind. i tell myself, "nah, that just doesn't seem right." facepalm ensues.

	@courtneyyy: I agree. I had exactly the same...bit of a tenuous link though really!

	29/36, but I think "bane" for deadly poison is weak.

	Nice to know I'm not the only one who didn't get the common bond, I was starting to feel really dumb.

	how many people here come up with the answers then hit start? just curious.

	SpaceTourism:	Jan 18th, 2012 at 18:42 GMT		1 point
	I enjoyed the quiz and the common bond at the end, but I got it. Maybe setting the common bond word slight apart from the word ladder would help to prevent misunderstandings.
