When I did the puzzle after midnight, I got the ________LAND category. But at that time, the answers referred to Finland, Ireland, Iceland, and Netherlands.

However, when I checked later in the day, the answers were Finland, Ireland, Iceland, and Greenland.

Not only would I not have put the last four together on their own, but I didn't make the connection even when I knew what they were.

I hesitated a little on adding "ball" to the pinball terms - technically, track, and, to a lesser extent, trail (I have heard vertical wire pathways called "habitrails"), are valid terms as well, and I didn't think that a word would be contained in the subject name

I never considered "coarse" as a synonym for "bawdy"

Also, "words ending in (-ough)that don't rhyme (with each other, presumably)"? I don't think I've seen a set where the connection involved each word's relationship to the other three words.
