I play this daily too. Sometimes it confounds the crap out of me and
I get the dreaded 'next time' and then other days, like this morning, I
get all four lines in under a minute.

First go at it.
Good thing I eliminated the other three categories first cuz there was no way I was getting the last one
except through process of elimination. Submitted it only after there were no other choices but without
having any idea what the connection was.

Nice, I'm trying to understand the blocks , the first two, Green and Yellow you got and didn't miss, third one you got wrong initially but only by one , so you only used up one try . Mine i got the first one but used two guesses to get the second line

Yes the cool part is that if you get three you automatically get the fourth!

Yes. The word 'Shimmer', for instance, can be grouped with 'Dessert Toppings' or 'Floor Cleaners'.
