Every answer is available below, but hints, categories, and words stay covered until you choose to reveal them.

Start with the most direct everyday meanings. This set usually has the cleanest shared idea.
FILLER WORDS
Green Group (Easy)
Look for a shared family, type, or common phrase that is one step beyond the obvious meanings.
BY MEANS OF
Blue Group (Medium)
Think more broadly: titles, culture, proper nouns, and specialized labels can all be fair game.

Purple Group (Hardest)
