The Answers
| Group | Theme | Words |

| 🔵 Blue | Metals | IRON, COPPER, TIN, ZINC |
| 🟣 Purple | Monopoly tokens | THIMBLE, BOOT, TOP HAT, DOG |
The purple trap: PENNY is a coin and a TBBT character; COPPER and IRON are metals but also slang/objects. Purple collects the classic Monopoly tokens (THIMBLE, BOOT, TOP HAT, DOG).
