Whilst walking home from a long shopping trip, my friend sent me a text, which read:

Hey, Brainiac! I remember that time you won 4 spelling bee's in a row, so here's something to scratch your brain with. Try and find out what these words have in common:

• Havana

• Antidisestablishmentarianism

• Megalomaniac

• Crabapple

• Everlasting

• Grandfather

• Rockaway

• Yemen

• Neonatology

• Yarrow

• Warrior

• Realistic

• Calisthenics

I texted my friend the answer in a pretty short time, using the hints he threw at me, and disregarding the curveballs. Can you figure it out?

(P.S.: I got the idea for this here, though these are different puzzle types. Have fun.)

Edited to go with my first guess....

Each share the same common letter between their end and the start of the next word

This matches the title hint 'contiguous'
