screenrant.com:

Monday, March 18 has a new collection for fans of the game to solve. Today's answers might cause a bit of trouble for most players as the categories are a bit obscure to just guess. Luckily, the game doesn't actually require you to score every single category. Three out of four is just enough to use the leftover words and get the win for the day.

The 'most straightforward' category certainly wasn't the first one we scored today, in fact, we took a big L in today's game. These words did make sense once the category appeared but we just couldn't wrap our head around these particular groupings on our own.

CONSTELLATIONS

CYGNUS

GEMINI

ORION

PEGASUS

The one category we successfully scored today was the green one. We think space is a fun topic to explore, CYGNUS and ORION stuck out first and provided an easy get for the other two.
