BARREL-SHAPED CONTAINER |

---|---|---|---|
BARREL |
CYLINDER |
DRUM |
TANK |
This one can be a little tricky depending on the words you get stuck on. For example, TANK could be placed alongside JET or PILOT in a different category if you focus on the military side of things. However, if you look at CASK, you might think it goes with COWBOY or SALOON DOORS. If you look around at the rest of the words, however, you you can see that CYLINDER and DRUM are things with similar shapeand CASKS are very similar to both. The only other word that fits in this case is TANK.

PILOT |
SHEPHERD |
DIRECTION |
USER |
This is the category that uses words in a different way than you might think. Three of these things could just be job titles, making them seem like nouns. In this case, COWBOY would easily fit in, which would make finding the right four words difficult. However, I noticed that SHEPHERD and USHER are both things that lead people or animals in the right direction. STEER made me realize that we should actually consider them verbs, but I had to look up PILOT because it’s a bit of an odd word choice.

COWBOY |
JET |
TO KNOCK |
CROW |
This was the last category I got, in part because I kept thinking that COWBOY and JET might belong somewhere else. When I got to the last 8 words, I wasn’t sure what the separation would be, but I ended up solving the other category first for other reasons. Football categories tend to be my downfall, but I I recognize all the team names now that I know what they should be. And despite my less than enthusiastic attitude toward football, I’m still a little sad that the RAMS have left Saint Louis.

GOLFER |
PENDULUM |
HALL DOORS |
BALANCE |
When I saw PENDULUM and SWING I thought I might be on the right path. I added SALOON DOORS very quickly as they are quite famous for its swinging capabilities. But it took me a minute to add GOLFER. It doesn’t look like it should belong here, but they swing the golf club. I actually found it strange that SWING was here when they used the same word in the category name, which usually doesn’t happen. Still, it allowed me to finish the football category without having to think about it.
