I dove into this puzzle with an open mind, wondering what could possibly connect these seemingly unrelated words. The first clue, Wristwatches, made me think of time and accessories, but I didn't have much to go on yet.

The next clue, Sandals, threw me for a loop. I thought maybe it was about things you wear, but that seemed too broad. I was still stuck in the mindset that these clues were about types of items rather than a common feature they share.

Then, Bicycle helmets came into play. This is where my brain started to shift gears. I realized that all these items might have something in common that isn't about what they are, but rather a part of their design. But what?

The clue Overhead rails on subway was the turning point. This is where the connection became clearer. It wasn't about the items themselves, but something they all have. And then it hit me - straps! Each of these things has straps or handles that serve a specific purpose.

The final piece of the puzzle, Handbags, sealed the deal. It was clear now; the category was things with straps. I felt a rush of excitement realizing how all these diverse items shared this common trait.

Looking back, it's amazing how our minds can make these connections once we shift our perspective. It's not always about what something is, but sometimes about what it has or how it's used. This puzzle was a great reminder of that.
