Yellow Answers: Revealed & Explained
| BREAKFAST SIDES | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| BACON | GRITS | HASH | TOAST |
Breakfast is heralded as the most significant meal of the day, and for many, it ranks among their favorites. Although opinions on breakfast foods can vary widely, personally, I relish the options in this category. Sure, BACON is a classic, but there’s nothing quite like quality TOAST, creamy GRITS, and delightful HASH—especially if it’s in the form of hash browns. With any luck, you can indulge in this type of breakfast during the remaining holiday period. However, if these don’t appeal to you, I hope you find enjoyment in your favorites.
Green Answers: Revealed & Explained
| PUSHES, AS A BUTTON | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| CLICKS | HIT | PRESSES | TAPS |
This category is relatively straightforward, particularly if you’re searching for the link. The common ending -s in these terms is a significant giveaway, while IRONS stands out as a name. Each term shares a similar theme, and simply being mindful of both their morphological forms and meanings can lead you to the correct answers.
Blue Answers: Revealed & Explained
| THEY HAVE A HORN | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| AFRICA | BUGLER | CAR | UNICORN |
This category presents a greater challenge and might be the trickiest of today’s selections. Initially, you might deduce that all items possess “horns.”I shared this thought when I encountered UNICORN alone. However, The Horn of Africa represents a different kind of “horn,”so it could be overlooked. Fortunately, the final category provides the necessary context to decipher this one correctly.

| OSCAR-WINNING ACTORS | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| BRIDGES | IRONS | PHOENIX | WASHINGTON |
The perception of ease in this category stems from their nature as recognizable names. While Africa also stands out as a name, the individuals listed here evoke a more direct sense of people. Even if you’re unsure of their shared connection, the names themselves simplify classifications, allowing you to solve them easily. After resolving this category, you won’t rely on answers from the previous group, making it the final piece in your puzzle-solving journey.
