225
I think the main appeal of the 2025 puzzle, at least for me, is how much care was taken in coming up with entries that belong in one category but allude to another. It would not surprise me if every category represents 45 other categories with its entries. It's a bit like setting up a lot of puns. I was inspired to try to do something similar on a smaller scale. It was fun but taxing to keep all the possibilities in mind and form connections between them. The following list of 225 things can be grouped into 15 categories of 15 things. To make it approachable, I'd say the puzzle is solved when all 15 categories have been identified, which doesn't necessarily require sorting all the things. 5 11 13 311 400 Aerie Alfa All fours Alpha Andalus Angerona Angers Anvil Archie Aria Math Arial Aries Arizona Arles Astros Atlas Ballade Bastille Black Jack Bodhi Bond Bordeaux Born Bourré Boxing Brave Bravo Brest Bridge C4 Caelum Caelus Caen Cambria Math Cancer Candara Canine Carpenter Ca...
