Lean on the walkthrough
My first instinct was to think digitally. 'Contact' made me think of a contact list, and 'Zoom' sealed the deal for a theme about video conferencing apps. It felt so obvious. I was already planning my answer in my head. Then 'Fish-eye' appeared and derailed my entire train of thought. A fish-eye view isn't an app feature, it's a type of photography. This forced me to pivot, and I started thinking the theme might be 'Photography Terms'. This worked better for 'Fish-eye' and 'Telephoto', but left 'Contact' and 'Bifocal' feeling out of place. They were clearly about vision correction, not cameras. I was stuck until I reconsidered the very first clue. What if 'Contact' wasn't about people, but about a contact lens? That single change in perspective made everything fit. Suddenly, all five clues—Contact lens, Zoom lens, Fish-eye lens, Telephoto lens, and Bifocal lens—were perfect examples of a single, cohesive category: Lens types.
