COMPACT, FAST, SLEEK, and SPORTY are descriptors that can apply to a sports car.

#1 Best Overall
DISNEY ANIMATED CHARACTERS PLUS A LETTER
This group adds one letter to each Disney character’s name: ABU becomes ABUT, BELLE becomes BELLED, FLOUNDER becomes FLOUNDERS, and SCAR becomes SCARY. The added letters turn the names into different words, which makes the connection less obvious than the other groups.

Start by spotting two or three words that might share a link, then check whether that idea accounts for exactly four words. In this grid, the blue shades make a clear set; after that, test apparent connections against all four words rather than locking in early. Words can fit misleading alternate patterns, and the final category relies on a transformation—adding a letter to character names—rather than a simple shared topic.
