Connections #736, published June 16, 2025, groups the 16 words into expressionless, drapery-hanging items, drink accompaniments, and words that begin with forms of transportation. The last group is the trickiest: each answer hides a vehicle name at the start.

Why the transportation group works
The purple category is about word beginnings, not four standalone vehicle names. Read the first part of each answer and the pattern appears: BUSboy, CARbon, SHIPshape, and TRAINee begin with BUS, CAR, SHIP, and TRAIN. WordHint’s explanation of the hint identifies the shared transportation-prefix idea.
