Ok. Billl has "country."
everybody has " bird "
so can I suggest "Light" for the next group.

So to sum up...
Pig - iron, ignorant, pen, Latin,
Bird - cage, early, brain, song
Light - year, source, relief, entertainment,
Country - cousin, mile, music
I had it as 'birdsong' - but i guess 'song bird' will do.
Anyway, bill got 'country' so he's next up. Thanks to all for playing.
OK, I'm on the case. (For me, "pig" was the more impressive discovery/puzzle-piece, though.)
For me it was "light." I never would have gotten "light entertainment" or "light relief," I've never even heard the latter term. Nor do I know what a "pig iron" is.

OK, same type of puzzle that Mark did: These words can be grouped together (based on a shared connection to some other term, that you must discover for each group) in three groups of four, and one group of three.
We'll begin by looking for the group of three, and see who finds it first.
way, right, record, reverse
rain, wide, change, new
level, under, birth, real
log, camera, sesame
(NOTE: I've never made one of these before. Don't know about pitfalls, or what might be too hard... Is it really easy to make them near-impossible/unfair? Because I was shooting for something pretty difficult.)

Brain's foggy because it's late, but I see "open sesame" and "open wide" (or "wide open") for starters.

I suspect it is us Brits' turn to be bamboozled.
I have 3 groups of 3 so far.

...Sea?
No, sorry.
(Well, it isn't what I had in mind, that is--I guess, if you could come up with good candidates for the three groups of four to go along with it, you could go ahead and provide those as well. I think it would be a pretty amazing coincidence, though--more likely there'd be trouble finding good fits...)
It's the weekend. I'm hesitant to provide any clues just yet, since people might only barely have started. However, if one or two of you are really working on it, but having no luck, I could maybe give a clue. Just take a few wild guess or something...
Otherwise, I'll consider going the clue route no sooner than Monday, maybe Tuesday (in the U.S.)--if it turns out people really aren't making any progress.
How about "deal" for the three?
Other wild guesses to follow.

"deal"?
Intriguing.... but no.
My wild guess is...water.
I like poetry,long walks on the beach and poking dead things with a stick.
