A favorite of mine from years past, this puzzle crafted by Stitchman has an alphabetical list of seemingly unrelated words which actually contains 15 groups of three related items. Your job is to sort them out into those 15 groups. Oh, by the way...many of the groups have at least 4 words that will be tempting - sometimes even more. = 1. ACE = 2. ALPS = 3. ANNA = 4. AUNT = 5. BOX = 6. BROTHER = 7. BUFF = 8. CANON = 9. COFFEE = 10. DEIFIED = 11. DEUCE = 12. DICE = 13. ELEMENT = 14. FIT = 15. FRENCH FRIES = 16. GRAPE = 17. HOG = 18. ICE = 19. JOKER = 20. KINETIC = 21. KING = 22. KISS = 23. LIMA = 24. MALE = 25. MICKEY MOUSE = 26. MOM = 27. MUSTANG = 28. NAVY = 29. ODYSSEY = 30. ONE = 31. PANAMA = 32. PEA = 33. PEAS IN A POD = 34. POP = 35. QUEEN = 36. RAP = 37. SALTY DOG = 38. SAN JOSE = 39. SENSOR = 40. SHARP = 41. SISTER = 42. STRING = 43. T-BIRD = 44. T-SHIRTS = 45. U2 Categories: = A. ACRONYMS = B. ALLITERATIVE WORD PAIRS = C. BEANS = D. CUBES = E. PALINDROMES = F. WORDS THAT HAVE A HOMOPHONE = G. WORLD CAPITALS = H. DRINKS = I. CARDS = J. BANDS = K. AIRCRAFT = L. CARS = M. FAMILY MEMBERS = N. PRINTERS = O. MILITARY TERMS

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.
