Yellow Answers: Revealed & Explained
MOVE TO ACTION | |||
---|---|---|---|
![]() | |||
DRIVE | PROMPT | PROPEL | PUSH |
This one came fairly quickly after we noticed that DRIVE and PUSH were together, and the only other two words that meant something similar for this situation were PROMPT and PROPEL. This was by far the easiest category to solve for, and it did help narrow down selections for others. It was less helpful than it might have been because the two categories with the most crossover were all nouns.

UNO CARDS | |||
---|---|---|---|
![]() | |||
DRAW | REVERSE | SKIP | WILD |
This one got us excited when we realized what this game was playing at. Uno is notorious for ruining friendships and families, and as soon as we saw SKIP and REVERSE together we knew it had be referencing the game to end all relationships. Reverse your Kart all you want Mario, but Uno got the draw on you first for coming between people.

![]() | |||
BASEBALL | GRAPEFRUIT | MARBLE | PEA |
We actually solved this one last as BASEBALL really was the sneaky addition to the puzzle, particularly with the words in the next category. However, once we realized they were all round objects, it seemed much more obvious what they were going for. However, we didn't guess it was specifically in relation to Hail-size until after we sent it through.

PLACES WITH BENCHES | |||
---|---|---|---|
![]() | |||
COURTROOM | DUGOUT | GYM | PARK |
What do COURTROOM, DUGOUT, GYM, and PARK have in common? Well, they are all places and that's how we got this category before the other one. When BASEBALL couldn't be in this category, we realized that none of the other nouns were also locations so we guessed these four and it turned out to be right.
