We need to find another set of four words that share a clear connection. From the remaining words – UPHOLD, STATE, SHAM, LABOR, HONOR, KEEP, THROW, JUSTICE, ENERGY, BLANKET, FULFILL, SHEET – I see that **BLANKET, THROW, SHAM, SHEET** are all items related to bedding or bedroom textiles. “Throw” is a small blanket, and a “sham” is a decorative pillow covering used with sheets and blankets.

The list contains several verbs that describe reversing, changing direction, or going back in some sense: - **FLIP‑FLOP** – to change one’s position or opinion back and forth. - **ABOUT‑FACE** – a command to turn completely around. - **BACKPEDAL** – to retreat or reverse a previous action. - **RENEGE** – to go back on a promise or agreement. These four words all belong to the same category of “actions that involve turning back or reversing.” They fit together neatly, leaving the rest of the words for the other categories.

The remaining eight words are: JAM, KANGAROO, NEIGHBORHOOD, RAINBOW, SHOEHORN, STREET, STUFF, WEDGE. One clear sub‑set is **JAM, STUFF, WEDGE, KANGAROO** – each of these can be used as a verb meaning “to force, pack or thrust into something”: you can *jam* a door, *stuff* a bag, *wedge* a piece into a gap, and (informally) *kangaroo* something by bouncing it into place. That leaves **RAINBOW, NEIGHBORHOOD, STREET, SHOEHORN**, which all pair with the word **“_____ ‑ ”** to form well‑known phrases that describe a *type of “____”*: **rainbow flag**, **neighborhood watch**, **street light**, **shoehorn tool**.

We have already solved the first set (AMBER, DINOSAUR, PALEONTOLOGIST, MOSQUITO). Looking at the remaining words, a clear color group emerges: **AMETHYST, LAVENDER, MINT, EGGPLANT** – all are standard color names. Another logical group is “small, valuable items”: **NUGGET, KERNEL, PEARL, TIDBIT** – each is a small piece or bite‑sized object, often considered a little treasure. That leaves four words: **BUNDLE, FORTUNE, GRIMACE, PILE**. These four share the property that they can all be preceded by the word **GOOD** to form common phrases: *good fortune*, *good bundle* (as in a good bundle of deals), *good grimace* (a playful expression), and *good pile* (a sizable, satisfactory stack). This makes them a reasonable fourth category.

The list contains several words that are synonyms for “nonsense” or “nonsensical ideas”: - **RUBBISH** – British slang for “nonsense”. - **BUNK** – as in “bunkum”, meaning nonsense. - **BALONEY** – something that’s nonsense or foolish. - **CRANK** – a person with odd, nonsensical ideas; “crank ideas”. These four naturally form a category together, leaving the remaining words for other groups. I’m fairly certain this is a valid set.

The four words left are **FLEECE, HOSE, ROB, STIFF**. All of them can be used as verbs meaning *to cheat, swindle, or treat unfairly*:- **FLEECE** someone → cheat them out of money. - **ROB** someone → steal from them. - **STIFF** someone → refuse to pay what’s owed. - **HOSE** someone (as in “You got hosed”) → get ripped off or taken advantage of.

The remaining words can be split into two clear groups. One of those groups consists of words that are commonly used in a computing or technology context for ways to modify, replace, or provide alternatives to something: **HACK** (to break into a system), **SUB** (short for “substitute” or a subroutine), **BACKUP** (a copy kept for safety), and **ALTERNATE** (to switch to a different option).

One clear set is **HACK, HERO, SUIT, COPPER** – each of these can be preceded by the word **IRON** to make a known term (Ironhack, Iron Hero, Iron Suit, Iron Copper alloy). The other four – **FANTASY, HONEY, SHRINK, SOMEDAY** – can each be preceded by **SOME** to form a common phrase (some fantasy, some honey, some shrink, some day).
