IDEA, PERSON, PLACE, THING: what a noun might be
A noun can name an idea, a person, a place, or a thing. This set shifts from describing movement to a basic grammar category.
AMBIENT, HOUSE, JUNGLE, TRANCE: electronic dance music genres
All four words name genres associated with electronic dance music.
BLOND, TRAY, TREE, WEDNESDAY: words after “ash”
Put “ash” before each word to make ash blond, ashtray, ash tree, and Ash Wednesday. The Wednesday compound is a holiday name; the other three are familiar terms.

WEDNESDAY, LURCH, and THING can suggest the Addams Family, but the player discussion for this date noted that the apparent theme does not supply a fourth fitting word. Treat it as a possible false lead, not as an official hint or a connection that accounts for a full group. The November 24 player discussion is anecdotal: individual comments describe some groups as difficult, but they do not establish a puzzle-wide difficulty rating.
