Category Hints
Today’s puzzle features some very esoteric categories and clues. The hints are presented from the easiest category to the hardest, following the order prescribed by the puzzle itself – Yellow, Green, Blue, then Purple.
- Yellow Category: This category relates to cinema.
- Green Category: This category has words that mean the same thing. Think deception and trying to make something believe falsities.
- Blue Category: This category relates to a certain instrument and the people who play it.
- Purple Category: This category has words that can be followed by the same word. Think silver medals.
Beware of two potential missteps today! Firstly, it’s possible to get sidetracked down a ‘literature’ path when you’re supposed to be thinking film. Secondly, ignore the courtly theme going on with ‘King’ and ‘Page’.
