GAME: NEW SPIN-OFF OF CONNECTIONS

The Games section of The New York Times offers a few different daily word challenges, including Connections. A few weeks ago, I posted a spin-off of it that I created. Here's another one!

There are sixteen words in all, with four words falling into each of the four categories. See if you can put them where they belong!

The answers will be posted next week. Good luck!

WORDS:
-- stoop -- crank -- grump -- cheat -- crab -- motto -- duck -- anthem -- seal -- squat -- swindler -- quack -- flag -- crook -- grouch -- crouch -- 

CATEGORIES:
curmudgeon
national symbols
get low
swindler
