With four left after my previous two correct groups, I see these remaining eight: LORDE, BURNS, POPE, CLERGY MEMBER, BIRD, N.F.L. PLAYER, BISHOP, M.L.B. PLAYER It makes sense to pair the four obvious “occupations/memberships”: CLERGY MEMBER, BISHOP, N.F.L. PLAYER, M.L.B. PLAYER (all are “someone who belongs to/works in a certain organization”). That leaves LORDE, BURNS, POPE, BIRD. Each is a single proper name by which a famous creative figure is known: • Lorde (singer) • Burns (Robert Burns, poet) • Pope (Alexander Pope, poet) • Bird (Charlie “Bird” Parker, jazz musician) So: Group 3: CLERGY MEMBER, BISHOP, N.F.L.

I’m looking for four words that pair with the same term. I notice “CRUISE CONTROL” and “QUALITY CONTROL” and “REMOTE CONTROL” are all common phrases. That suggests “CONTROL” is the shared word. Scanning for another candidate, “BIRTH CONTROL” is also ubiquitous. No other word in the list forms a “___ CONTROL” phrase. So the group is BIRTH, CRUISE, QUALITY, and REMOTE.
