You must sort these 64 words into 16 groups of 4 words. However, once you're finished with that, your mission is to build another wall with 16 new words, those words being the key word in each of those category names, and then solve it too!



For instance, if you grouped the words galaxy, kart, party and odyssey in a "words in the title of Mario videogames" category, you should use Mario as a word for the second wall (and maybe that would be part of the group "Nintendo characters" or "Names beginning with an M" in that wall). Don't worry, I think the word to be used for each category should be quite obvious (if it's the right group).



The only thing left to say is that only one of the words on the second wall is a plural. I clarify this because since you will be working with groups, the category names will probably be plural, so you should take this into account and use the singular form of the key word in all but one case.



Good luck!



Edit: Since the first Wall was pretty much solved, here is the 2nd wall, to avoid discrepancies:




post snake dragon android
rock amazon alien missouri
adobe police apple bird
google shape wall hitman






Although I've mentioned these in the comments, I'll add these here for clarification.



Hint 1:




The word that should be in plural in the second wall is very fitting.




Hint 2:




Stone instead of rock does work for the category I had in mind, but not as well.




Hint 3:




The first category for the second wall was already found. The tags for the remaining three are music, movies and entertainment.




Hint 4:




My other question on this site will pretty much tell you what one of the categories is (I made this before that one was solved, and I wanted someone to solve all of this first and then make the connection, but it didn't happen!)




Hint 5:




The words in another category are supposed to be preceded by "the" (unless you choose the alternative word in hint 2. That word is... cooler).

    Almost got it now; like @Victor Perszel your groups are correct, but one name is off (although now that I think of it... it kind of works too with the category that I thought of for the second wall, but not as well), and another one should be a plural. Since the first wall is pretty much solved, I'll say: the first group for the second wall is exactly right :)

    You're 11/15. 2 are far from the solution, 1 is almost right but has the wrong words which when correct will help narrow it down (I made a slight mistake in that particular category, but I think it still works), and jafe got the remaining one right, though it's close to what you have (although one word is wrong too)

Ok - I think these combined with some tweaking of the others should complete the first wall ( I'll let someone else compile the complete answer):




Hitman (video game franchise): sniper, absolution, silent, money

Missouri: Springfield, Joplin, Independence, Columbia

Apple: golden, fuji, gala, smith




As far as the second wall (partial):




Tech: Apple, Android, Google, Adobe

The rivers from @jafe post could also be re-categorized as Amazon, which would also fit in a tech category, but could be combined with Missouri (and maybe Snake) as a rivers category...maybe adobe gets bumped from tech into another category with posts, rocks, and walls for building materials?

STONES: bauxite granite marble sandstone
ANDROID: donut oreo marshmallow lollipop
BIRDS: pelican sparrow pigeon albatross
SNAKES: viper anaconda python boa
GEOMETRY SHAPES: square triangle pentagon circle
DRAGONS: viserion falkor smaug norbert
ALIEN: resurrection predator prometheus covenant
ADOBE: acrobat shockwave illustrator flash
GOOGLE: earth drive scholar calendar
POST: malone modernism office graduate
HITMAN: sniper absolution silent money
APPLE: golden gala fuji smith
AMAZON RIVER: putumayo madeira tocantins negro
WALL: great hunger wailing berlin
POLICE: sergeant captain constable inspector
MISSOURI: columbia joplin springfield independence




I will update when I have the second wall, but for me one is already obvious




TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES: android adobe google apple

    Nice answer +1. Have you seen my category 11? I think this might be one of the remaining categories?

    11/12 correct here! I'll refrain to comment on the second wall until someone completes the first one.

For the final wall:




Third letter 'a' : dragon, snake, amazon, shape

Double letter : google, missouri, wall, apple

Exactly three distinct vowels : adobe, alien, android, police

Change second letter to an 'a' : post, rock, bird, hitman




The last one is a bit stretched maybe...

  • $begingroup$
    That is a great answer, but not what I had in mind. Like the answers on the first wall, the groupings are kind of trivia-y, not related to word properties.

      Almost got it now; like @Victor Perszel your groups are correct, but one name is off (although now that I think of it... it kind of works too with the category that I thought of for the second wall, but not as well), and another one should be a plural. Since the first wall is pretty much solved, I'll say: the first group for the second wall is exactly right :)

      You're 11/15. 2 are far from the solution, 1 is almost right but has the wrong words which when correct will help narrow it down (I made a slight mistake in that particular category, but I think it still works), and jafe got the remaining one right, though it's close to what you have (although one word is wrong too)

    Ok - I think these combined with some tweaking of the others should complete the first wall ( I'll let someone else compile the complete answer):




    Hitman (video game franchise): sniper, absolution, silent, money

    Missouri: Springfield, Joplin, Independence, Columbia

    Apple: golden, fuji, gala, smith




    As far as the second wall (partial):




    Tech: Apple, Android, Google, Adobe

    The rivers from @jafe post could also be re-categorized as Amazon, which would also fit in a tech category, but could be combined with Missouri (and maybe Snake) as a rivers category...maybe adobe gets bumped from tech into another category with posts, rocks, and walls for building materials?

      Nice answer +1. Have you seen my category 11? I think this might be one of the remaining categories?

      11/12 correct here! I'll refrain to comment on the second wall until someone completes the first one.

    For the final wall:




    Third letter 'a' : dragon, snake, amazon, shape

    Double letter : google, missouri, wall, apple

    Exactly three distinct vowels : adobe, alien, android, police

    Change second letter to an 'a' : post, rock, bird, hitman




    The last one is a bit stretched maybe...

      That is a great answer, but not what I had in mind. Like the answers on the first wall, the groupings are kind of trivia-y, not related to word properties.
