Strip clues to core words
Remove titles and careers; surnames alone revealed the bird pattern.
Check literal categories first
Before chasing metaphors, see if the words belong to a simple, real-world class.
Beware profession bait
Shared industries can be a red herring; a clean lexical link is stronger.
All five surnames are bird names: Swift, Crow, Finch, Nightingale, and Hawk.
Only two are musicians and their industries differ. The only exact match across all five is that each surname is a bird name.
Say the surnames aloud in a list. If they all fit a concrete noun category without spelling changes, you likely have the connector.
