good grid

Choice does not really. It does make a common phrase like the rest.

The choice group seemed off, especially with choice.
Liked the black group.

Nice grid, interesting groups. Choice doesn't really make a well known phrase with the link word. It could easily be swapped with minute (or even place), into their groups, it would fit just as well there, and either one would work just as well as it does in its place, which means the grid doesn't really work. It was good fun though.
