Collecting Lines Game #2

The game starts as 4 regular 1-dimensional 45-word Word Association games. Then, as each game ends, its end word goes into the corresponding orange corner square on the grid. The words then associate towards the purple square in the center of the grid, which must be left last to associate.

Each game's last word and the word in the corresponding orange square must be the same and in bold.

Game #1 started with "Act of Uniformity 1549", "Chaturon Chaisang", "Georg Pinkepank", and "Mycroft project". The starting words for the grid were "Hybrid", "Fall Gelb", ""Spam"" and "Reflex". The grid ended with "Mutually Assured Destruction". An archive of the game is available here.

Game #2's starting words, "Grant Road Historic District", "Cleantech Group", "Lion Capital of Asoka", and "Hanze Institute of Technology", were chosen via Random Article.
