PUZZLE #56: Connection Wall 2

PUZZLE #56

CONNECTION WALL 2

Well, it's my last puzzle of 2015, so what better way to celebrate the end of the year than going back to the start of the year? Yep, just like how a "Connection Wall" puzzle directly based off of Only Connect was my first puzzle of the year, it seems fitting to have that same type of puzzle conclude it!

Below are 16 squares with words and phrases on them. For this puzzle, you'll need to sort them into four separate categories that consist of four squares each. For example, if there are four squares that read "Cocktail", "Valkyrie", "Magnolia", and "Top Gun", they'll belong to the category of "Tom Cruise movies". But be careful, since some words may seem to fit in more than one category ("Magnolia" could just as easily fit into the category "Flowers", to continue the example), though there's only one overall solution to this puzzle.

This week's FINAL ANSWER consists of the four categories that are used in this puzzle.

Once you believe you've figured out the FINAL ANSWER, send it to either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com (though I'm more likely to check the second one) and I'll put your name on a solvers list once I post the answers in about two weeks. You can also use those email addresses to give me some comments and feedback (or get a hint from me in exchange for a "hint star", more details for that are on the sidebar to the right) or send me the answer to last week's puzzle, if you haven't already figured that one out. If you have a printer and want to solve this puzzle on paper, just head below the break for a version you can print out!

Puzzle #5: Connection Wall

PUZZLE #5

CONNECTION WALL

Now that I've revealed the answers to my first game-show-inspired puzzle, here's another one! Admittedly, however, this game show is not all that well-known outside of its native UK: Only Connect, the super-hard quizzer shot in Wales where you have to identify the connections of up to four seemingly random clues! Specifically, it's based off of its third round, the "Connecting Wall"!

Above are 16 squares with words on them. For this puzzle, you'll need to sort them into four separate categories that consist of four squares each. For example, if there are four squares that read "Cocktail", "Valkyrie", "Magnolia", and "Top Gun", they'll belong to the category of "Tom Cruise movies". But be careful, since some words may seem to fit in more than one category ("Magnolia" could just as easily fit into the category "Flowers", to continue the example), though there's only one overall solution to this puzzle. The FINAL ANSWER consists of the four categories that are used in this puzzle.

Once you've figured them out, send the answers to either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com, and I'll also be accepting the answers to last week's puzzle (Where you can get here, or an easier version here) until Sunday. As usual, there's a black-and-white version of this puzzle that you can print out by clicking on "read more" below.
