LOCK, RUFFLE, and TUFT might go together as little bits of hair.
Maybe TAKI, RUFFLE, and GOLDFISH go together as snack brands, in the singular.
Oh, arent COMBOs a snack too?
LOCK, RUFFLE, and TUFT are still here.
Maybe THATCH goes with them?
That leaves CHEF, MASSAGE, MEATBALL, and FISH.
Head CHEF, head MASSAGE.
FISH oil, MASSAGE oil.
Things that knead, things that roll.
Im not sure here!
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!
