hello and welcome to another exciting Wordgame Wednesday!
As always (so far), from this 4x4 grid of sixteen clues, try to figure out four themed groups of four clues, to evenly divide the board with none leftover. Proximity/arrangement of clues on the board doesn't matter. Do put even partial guesses in the comments! Can you figure it out?
-punk: Hope, Steam, Pop, Solar
Streaming services: Hulu, Crackle, Shudder, Max
Video game storefronts: Origin, Itch, Epic, Gog
Backwards kitchen implements: Stop, Snap, Snoops, Salutaps

I laughed out loud the minute i saw SALUTAPS
I'm glad that these puzzles can serve the role of humor even if they aren't fiendishly difficult
I think using SALUTAPS (as opposed to, like... SNIP? another one evades me) gives the puzzle a pleasant beginning, middle, and end!
Fun! This one was significantly easier than the previous ones, as I was able to finish it pretty snappily rather than not at all.
