Every answer is available below, but hints, categories, and words stay covered until you choose to reveal them.
Yellow Group (Easiest)
Each word can name a kind, type, or version of one broader idea.
KINDS OF MEDICINE
Green Group (Easy)
Look for a shared family, type, or common phrase that is one step beyond the obvious meanings.
PARTS OF A GOLF COURSE
Blue Group (Medium)
Try adding, placing, or pairing the same short word with each answer instead of reading the words alone.
THINGS FILLED WITH AIR
Purple Group (Hardest)
Expect wordplay. Sounds, hidden pieces, letter changes, or phrase endings may matter more than definitions.
