Why the groups fit—and where the misdirection is
Yellow: Parts of an airport
HANGAR, RUNWAY, TARMAC, and TERMINAL are airport features. RUNWAY may first bring fashion to mind, but here it means the strip used by aircraft.
Green: Legal terms
ACTION, CLAIM, COMPLAINT, and LAWSUIT are all legal terms.
Blue: Things a juggler juggles
BEANBAG, CLUB, RING, and TORCH are juggling props. CLUB and RING have other familiar meanings, while TORCH can mean a flashlight; the shared juggling context points to the intended group.
