Change last letter to make a fruit - Peace, Graph, Apply, Fib (Peach, Grape, Apple, Fig).

Re: Only Connect clues
I just posted that too, Anita — except I missed Fig and put Pear, which is presumably the red herring.

Re: Only Connect clues
Sorry about that - though I've got Fib (Fig) instead of Peak (Pear).

Re: Only Connect clues
We're posting at the same time! 
I think Fig must be correct, as Peak is one of the synonyms in the other group you found.

Re: Only Connect clues
CAPE can go before the other four (Cod, Horn, Fear and Town).
Yes, it can be a little confusing posting at the same time - but it's all part of the fun!

Re: Only Connect clues
Oh, of course — well done, Anita.
Do you think we get a prize for the fastest ever solving of a wall in this game??

Re: Only Connect clues
Courtenay, have you checked back through all the games to see whether this wall was solved fastest?

Re: Only Connect clues
Great work, Courtenay and Anita! As you say, arguably the fastest wall to be solved!
You were like Pam and Barbara for parts of it - merging into one as you posted simultaneously and talked at the same time!

Re: Only Connect clues
It was solved before I had a chance to respond to any of them!
Here's another wall...
Dead. Mean. Trunk. Spit.
House. Wings. Sap. Amen.

Re: Only Connect clues
PAN can follow Dead, Wings, Dust and Legs?

Re: Only Connect clues
This one seems to be proving tougher than the previous wall. 
One of the remaining groups (which I expected to be solved quickly) is about putting the same word before or after each clue; the other is about changing / adding / removing a letter to each clue in order to make connected synonyms.
