All related to "bow" : bowing as it is called in Japanese martial arts (rei), the bow (or fore) of a ship, the bow used to play a violin, and the bow made by tying a ribbon into a knot.
Using S10 E17 as an example, our groups are:
Teal, Merganser, Eider, Wigeon (types of duck)
Flying Scotsman, Rocket, Puffing Billy, Mallard (famous trains)
Orient Express, Mesopotamia, Styles, The Nile (Poirot locations)
Malik, Tomlinson, Horan, Payne (1D members)
Sorting the items alphabetically, we get:
Eider, Merganser, Teal, Wigeon
Flying Scotsman, Mallard, Puffing Billy, Rocket
Mesopotamia, Orient Express, Styles, The Nile
Horan, Malik, Payne, Tomlinson
We should therefore input the groups as follows:
Eider, etc.
Flying Scotsman, etc.
Horan, etc.
Mesopotamia, etc.
