Hints (no spoilers)
- Yellow: the easiest, most literal group.
- 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 | Coffee drinks | ESPRESSO, MACCHIATO, RISTRETTO, AMERICANO |
| 🟢 Green | Boxing | JAB, UPPERCUT, CLINCH, BOB |
| 🔵 Blue | Sewing | STITCH, HEM, SEAM, BASTE |
| 🟣 Purple | Yoga poses | LOTUS, WARRIOR, COBRA, BRIDGE |
The purple trap: BOB is a boxing move (bob and weave), not a name; BRIDGE is a yoga pose, not the card game.
How the July 10, 2026 board comes apart
Start with Coffee drinks (🟡 yellow). ESPRESSO, MACCHIATO, RISTRETTO and AMERICANO share the most literal link on the board — each one is a plain, dictionary-level example of “Coffee drinks”. Bank the safest group first: clearing four tiles early leaves every later decoy fewer places to hide.
Green is Boxing (🟢). JAB and UPPERCUT usually surface first; the test is whether CLINCH and BOB belong to “Boxing” just as cleanly. If one of the four feels forced, that word probably serves another group and you are one tile off.
The blue group, Sewing, tends to need a second pass. STITCH, HEM, SEAM and BASTE only click once you stop reading each word at surface level and ask what single category could hold all four at once — here, that shared frame is “Sewing”.
Purple is Yoga poses: LOTUS, WARRIOR, COBRA and BRIDGE. Do not hunt for it directly — the “Yoga poses” link is built to stay invisible until the easier groups are gone. Solve around it and let the last four tiles confirm themselves.
Why the purple group misleads: BOB is a boxing move (bob and weave), not a name; BRIDGE is a yoga pose, not the card game. Whenever a word seems to fit two groups, park it and finish the group that has four unambiguous members — the leftover placement resolves itself.
