Summary
Puzzle #1097 centers on a meta "starting with" structure across all four groups, with categories built from incantations, animal group names, synonyms for "repeat" and parts of a river.
16 answers complete those sets: charm bracelet, curse word, hex key and spell checker; murder mystery, pack rat, Pride Rock and school days.
The blue and purple groups finish the board with copy editor, Echo Park, mirror selfie and quote unquote, plus bank teller, bed head, Delta Airlines and mouth guard.
The report also points players to the Times' Connections Bot and Games tracking tools, which score results and log stats such as win rate, perfect games and streaks.
