Edited by Wyna Liu · Groups listed easiest to hardest: yellow, green, blue, purple

Connections #1,095 puts four groups of four on the board, running from the yellow group through to purple. For each group below: read the hint first, then show the category name when you want it, then the four words.

Group 1 - Yellow

Hint: One thread ties these four together. It is a fair link, not a trick - think about what the words can all be or do.
