ADIEU, CRANE, SLATE and AUDIO perfectly make consciousness arsenic a group, because they are nan 2 astir celebrated commencement words and nan 2 champion (according to WordleBot, nan NYT's in-game helper tool). But no, this was immoderate classical NYT misdirection.

That 1 was THINGS MADE BY FOLDING PAPER, which I honestly don't deliberation I would person sewage connected my own.
