Instead, the FIRST WORDS OF PIXAR FILMS jumped out at me immediately. I loved the early Pixar films, back when they were a rare treat there was three
years between Toy Story and A Bugs Life . Monsters Inc is also the film I
have seen the most due to being the parent of a child who was obsessed with Sully and Mike and still uses the phrase put that thing back where it came from or so God help me on an almost daily basis.

RIVER FEATURES was my second group, although I was less confident including DRAINAGE BASIN than the other three tiles and momentarily worried that I was missing out on a plumbing group.

NYT Connections?

NYT Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games made by the New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four items that share something in common, and each group has a different difficulty level: green
is easy, yellow a little harder, blue often quite tough and purple usually very difficult.

On the plus side, you don't technically need to solve the final one, as
you'll be able to answer that one by a process of elimination. What's more, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little bit of breathing room.

It's a little more involved than something like Wordle, however, and there
are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up with tricks. For instance, watch out for homophones and other word games that could disguise the answers.

It's playable for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.
