Three's a crowd!  A favorite of mine from years past, this puzzle by a former Puzzling Gardner contains an alphabetical list of seemingly unrelated words but is actually a collection 15 groups of three related items in disguise. Your job is to sort the "Triplets" out into the 15 groups. Oh, by the way...all groups have at least 4 words that will be tempting - sometimes even more. So be sure to take good notes   = 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.
