Explanation
All five words commonly follow “close” to form familiar two‑word phrases.
The puzzle uses the “words‑after” pattern: each hidden word combines with the word “close” to create a well‑known compound phrase. Because every clue works as the second part of a “close + X” expression, the shared label is “Words that come after “close”.”

How to solve this answer
Words After
The answer comes first, and each clue can follow it to make a familiar pair. Flip the order in your head.
Tennis, Lamp, Mountain, and Contents can all follow Table. The answer is Table: table tennis, table lamp, table mountain, table of contents.
Medium
Clues need a second look or a shift in angle. The link is fair, but the first reading of one or two clues usually misleads.
Wordplay
Puzzles that lean on double meanings, homophones, prefixes, suffixes, and the way English words bend. Read each clue twice before you trust the first reading.
This is the mirror of Words Before, and solvers mix them up constantly. Write the candidate first, then the clue. Table + Tennis works. Tennis + Table does not, and your ear usually catches that faster than your eyes.
Common starter words do a lot of the work: book, fire, house, time, court, water, head. If the clues are plain nouns that pair with everyday objects, test this pattern first.
