The trickiest connection in the grid
CONSTELLATION belongs in the yellow group because it means a collection or group. The purple category works differently: each answer starts with a constellation name—DRACONIAN begins with Draco, HYDRANT with Hydra, LEONARDO with Leo, and LIBRARY with Libra. That distinction separates the literal word CONSTELLATION from the constellation names hidden at the beginnings of the purple answers.
