I just kept zig zagging across the letters til I got the last word! I wonder if it’s more common in America? It’s like when there’s a z in Spelling Bee and I just don’t even attempt it that day 😁

It’s what the young men wear when the young women wear the answer from top left. Prom and wedding specific; we’d just use the English translation.

I took ages to get a first one, then twigged the connection (I had guessed a different riff on the theme)

Hadn't heard of the two left hand side ones - but easy enough words to pick out.

I thought the connection was something different after the first word I found but quite straightforward once I twigged it.
