PIE and DAY for Pi Day (3/14)?
If JELL doesnt mean to SET like Jell-O, what is it doing here?
Ill think about desserts with letters missing, and consider that JELL might be a persons name.
Pretty clearly goes with SERVE, SPIKE, and SMASH as things you might do with a volleyball.
No, waitSMASH can go somewhere else.
Lets swap in BUMP.
Something can be a SMASH, a HIT, a SUCCESS, a WINNER.
Here is where I let out a giant groan.
Turns out all I had to do was say the words out loud.
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 take another crack.
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!
