Guess 2GRAND · UPRIGHT · HANDY · BABYInvalid2.8s

These can all precede 'PIANO' to form types of pianos: GRAND PIANO, UPRIGHT PIANO, and also thinking about it - wait, let me reconsider. These words can all follow or relate to piano types. Actually, let me try: GRAND, UPRIGHT, BABY (if present) - but I see HANDY instead. Let me reconsider: GRAND PIANO, UPRIGHT PIANO, and HANDY could relate to something else. Let me try a different approach - these could all be types or descriptors that go with PIANO or precede a common word.

Guess 1CONCERT · GIG · SET · SHOWCorrect2.1s

All four words are related to performances or events, often in the context of music or entertainment. 'Concert' and 'gig' are straightforward; 'show' is another word for a performance, and 'set' can refer to a musical performance or a setlist.

Guess 3GRAND · UPRIGHT · PLAYER · BABYInvalid2.9s

On a second examination, 'GRAND', 'UPRIGHT', and 'PLAYER' all refer to styles of pianos. 'HANDY' doesn't seem to fit, but perhaps another word amongst the leftover ones might. Actually, 'BABY' is a common modifier for pianos (as in 'baby grand'), but that option isn't available. Out of what remains, perhaps there is no 'BABY', so maybe my previous group was correct except for 'HANDY', and one other should be included. Maybe there's another link I'm missing, but I'm sticking to piano types for now.

'Grand', 'upright', and 'player' are all types of pianos. 'Step' could refer to the 'step keyboard' on a player piano (a stretch), but it seems the best fit from the remaining words, as the other words don't fit the musical instrument theme as closely.

'Actor', 'agent', 'player', and 'party' can all refer to participants in a legal, theatrical, or business context.

Guess 6GRAND · GREAT · HALF · STEPCorrect4.9s

These four words are all terms used to describe intervals or types of 'steps' in music as well as modifiers of 'step' (as in grand step, great step, half step, which is a musical interval, and step itself). They are also common modifiers in terms like 'grand step', 'great step', 'half step', and 'step' on their own. This group seems to be related to scales or steps, possibly specifically in music or dance.
