A heads up about the tricky parts
BOOT and PANT do not go together.
PANT is a verb.
To place ABC, think of the song with the same title by The Jackson 5.
BLANKETs meaning is related to the phrase, a BLANKET statement.
Todays purple category is pretty tricky.

Oh, and theres GENERAL, perfect.
ABC is an odd one.

HEAVE, GASP, and PUFF seem to be related to choking for air.
I had been thinking of PANT like clothing, but that also fits.
That leaves RUM, ARS, BUT, and BOOT.
Thats an odd one.
SYNONYMS FOR REAR END MINUS LAST LETTER?
So ARS is arse, BOOT is booty, BUT is butt, and RUM is rump.
Youll see a game board with 16 tiles, each with one word or phrase.
Your job is to select a group of four tiles that have something in common.
Select four items and hit the Submit button.
If you guessed correctly, the category and color will be revealed.
(Yellow is easiest, followed by green, then blue, then purple.)
If your guess was incorrect, youll get a chance to hit it one more time.
You win when youve correctly identified all four groups.
But if you make four mistakes before you finish, the game ends and the answers are revealed.
Expect to see overlapping groups.
So dont hit submit until youve confirmed that your group of four containsonlythose four things.
If youre stuck, another strategy is to look at the words that seem to havenoconnection to the others.
Check back tomorrow for the next puzzle.
