First Connection: Parts of a Road

The first thing that stood out to me was median and divider—both are commonly found on roads. Then I spotted shoulder and lane, which reinforced the idea. I grouped them together and—bingo! This was the blue category: Parts of a Road.

Second Connection: Web Browser Buttons

I noticed a few words that reminded me of buttons I see on a web browser—refresh, back, forward, and extensions. That seemed like a strong category, and sure enough, it was! This completed the green category: Web Browser Buttons.

Third Connection: Words Related to Indicating Meaning

Now, I had words like express, convey, mean, and spell. These words all have to do with communication or representation. That locked in the yellow category: Words Related to Indicating Something.

Fourth Connection: Culinary Terms Using "À La"

This left me with King, Mode, Cart, and Plancha. It took me a moment, but then I thought about dishes like Chicken à la King and à la mode. That was the key! These words all connected to culinary expressions involving "à la," forming the purple category.

Final Thoughts

Wow, that was a close call! I was down to my last guess before I cracked the browser buttons category, but I managed to pull it off.

Did you eat Chicken à la King when you were a kid? I did! I’m curious—do people still make that? Let me know in the comments!
