A favorite of mine from years past, this puzzle by Stitchman uses an alphabetical list of seemingly unrelated words which are combined into groups of three.

Your job is to find three words related to each other 'and' match them with their numbered clue.

Oh by the way...some words appear to fit in more than one group
