- Green: a small twist on the obvious.
- Blue: trickier — think category, not surface meaning.
- Purple: the curveball; expect wordplay or a hidden pattern.
The Answers
| Group | Theme | Words |
|---|---|---|
| 🟡 Yellow | Pizza toppings | ONION, PEPPER, MUSHROOM, SAUSAGE |
| 🟢 Green | Popeye characters | OLIVE, BLUTO, WIMPY, SWEEPEA |
| 🔵 Blue | ___ spray | HAIR, BODY, SEA, BEAR |
| 🟣 Purple | Salt-N-Pepa & co. | PEPA, VINEGAR, SHAKER, FLAT |
The purple trap: OLIVE reads as a topping and PEPPER as a Popeye-ish word, but OLIVE is a character and PEPPER is a topping. Solve the people group first to free the food group.
