How to read this answer
A strong category usually has one clean idea connecting all four words. If a word seems to fit two places, look for the group where all four words share the same kind of relationship.
For future puzzles, start with the most obvious category, lock it in, then use the remaining words to find the trickier meanings, synonyms, or shared contexts.
