    Had a tough time today. Things I also considered:

    Spoilers

    “Demon” being in with the “joker” category. Since “card” is not a term I’ve ever heard used that way.

    “Chess” being in with the bars. I had to Google around and didn’t notice the missing “s” from Snicker, Airhead, and Mound. (Snicker was the only one I’d heard of confidently, and I had a vague sense that Airhead would be correct already.)

    Snicker and laugh as the verbal forms. Never found a third.

    Mound and bump being together. Thought “mar” might somehow fit in there too.

    How is yellow yellow??? It’s the hardest one at least for me.

    Spoiler

      !spoiler Spoiler The yellow one really tripped me up today, I was thinking that category was going to be silly or goofy, airhead and dumbbell sounded more correct than card and character. I think it’s older slang, I’ve only heard someone using card as an adjective on the golden girls lol. I hate Mounds candy. The word plus X categories can be really tough!<

      Yeah I had never heard of Mounds either, and wasn’t confident about Airheads. Turns out there’s also a “chess” bar, which nearly tripped me up.

        Yeah but ::: spoiler spoilage Chesss bar makes no sense. Snicker and mar made it clear enough for me that it’s candy without s at rhe end. I was also not sure about airheads. I have never seen them but I have heard of them. :::

          Yeah I hadn’t picked up on the “missing s” bit at that point. Mar wasn’t in my consideration at that point, and Snickers’ missing s just slipped the mind.

            To be honest mar messed me up for a solid minute at the start just because I have a friend who keeps calling things mar especially when we play games together.
