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.
FITNESS CLASS TYPES
Green Group (Easy)
Look for a shared family, type, or common phrase that is one step beyond the obvious meanings.
DEMEANOR

Think more broadly: titles, culture, proper nouns, and specialized labels can all be fair game.
PEACE ACTIVISTS
Purple Group (Hardest)
Expect wordplay. Sounds, hidden pieces, letter changes, or phrase endings may matter more than definitions.
