Time?
I like poetry,long walks on the beach and poking dead things with a stick.
I have water as a four, I also have a couple of other "groups", but until you get them all you know they're probably not quite right.
ay up
perhaps "angle" is a three (though it could be a four if wide goes with...)
ay up
OK, HERE IS A LAME HINT, NOT REALLY A HINT EVEN, JUST CLEANING UP AND CLARIFYING:
No one has guessed the "group of three", however two of the "groups of four" have been discovered. Mark was wrong about "sea", but iamnobody (confirmed by Mick) was right about "water". Mick got the one I thought would be toughest: "angle".
Ok another guess, "World" but that would leave a very dispirate last group.

OH! So very close, but... No, I'm sorry, Mick--not a three!
Was he REALLY close, or are you just saying that to give us false hope?

"Star Wars--A New Hope"... Is that the sort of clue you are looking for, Juniper? Then, yes, it was that close when he guessed "world".
Ok time to share I think.
WATER. way, level, birth, under.
ANGLE. right, reverse, wide, camera.
perhaps someone has different groups?
then, WORLD, (wrong but close) real, new, record,
That leaves. sesame, rain, change, and log. HOWEVER - my groups obviously have mistakes in them, so what has anybody else got?
Am I right in thinking "Sesame" can only have - open, close, bun, street or seed.
And "Log" can't have too many connections either -jam, captain's, pine, split, book, ship's, yule, before we delve in to the scatalogical.
EDIT of course. RAIN water I'm an idiot!

I was pretty sure about 'world' too.
Incidentally, 'log' could be part of the 'water' group, which would free up one of those. I'd take 'birth' out.
And, while I'm at it, I've got a two-er - sesame oil, oil change. If I knew more about cars, I could convince myself that what a dipstick does is check the oil level. Which, if 'log' went with 'water' would give
oil sesame, change, level
angle camera reverse right wide
water log rain, under, birth
and a remaining four of:
way, record, new, real
which brings us back to 'world', if we can offload 'way' into the probably-not-oil group.
