Try these category clues before revealing the groups:

Connections presents 16 words. Select four you think share a link and submit them; correct groups are removed, while incorrect guesses use up a limited number of attempts. You can shuffle the board if a different layout helps.

Why the trickier groups fit
“Mount __”
OLYMPUS, FUJI, WHITNEY, and HOOD each complete the phrase “Mount __.” The shared pattern is the name cue, rather than a common kind of word.
Things people shake
HANDS, MARACA, POLAROID, and SNOWGLOBE are all things people shake: hands in greeting, a maraca to make music, and a Polaroid or snow globe as an object.
Rank #2
Corpus and LP components
OEUVRE, CANON, BODY, and WORKS point to a corpus: a body or collection of work. INSERT, JACKET, RECORD, and SLEEVE are the LP-related group.
