How to use these answers
If you are still solving, pause before reading the groups above: seeing the words may spoil the puzzle. For a general approach, first look for four words that share a clear, specific connection; then check whether any of the remaining words fit a different category. Some words can suggest more than one association, so test a proposed group against all four entries before submitting it.
