The Yankees Hotel Foxtrot triad is an excellent nod to Wilco, but was an obvious red herring, Foxtrot had to be the dance. Sure enough, four styles of dance. Then, hotel: Four items from the game, Monopoly. Of the items remaining, the sorting options were pretty obvious, since I was in the Lemmy mindset already. That left the purple, which was the only way I would ever get that group. Earth and fireplace I get, but I don’t know what the connection is between emperor, yankees, and mantle/mantel.

I get a little annoyed when the category is “things with things” when not all the answers always have the thing. Like the Yankees had Mantle and the Earth has a mantle, but an emperor isn’t always wearing a cloak (although I guess in this case he has the figurative mantle of leadership, so I suppose fair enough). But a fireplace doesn’t always have a mantle
