Yellow Answers: Revealed & Explained

In an ironic twist, I saw FLOP first and immediately started searching the puzzle for other words that could come after "flip" but came up empty-handed. I'm a little too trained for the missing word categories at this point. However, once I eliminated that as a possibility, I looked around and saw BustLeading me to figure out what the category likely was. I found MISS quickly, but it took me a moment to find DUD because it was a short word buried in the middle for me.

If you're looking to make the most of an opportunity, you're probably taking a chance. Either you can shoot your shot or take your turn. There are Plenty of words for seizing an opportunity And running with it, but I really thought it was a completely different category. At first, I believed they were all words used in a sports game, so adding CHANCE was a little strange to me. However, there weren't many options, and I was relieved to see I was right and laughed about how wrong I was.

Blue Answers: Revealed & Explained

This was the last category I solved today, mainly because I wasn't sure what one of the words would be. I thought CHARGE was more closely related to the previous category if it was a sports themed category. But, I thought that Credit, card, and plastic are all likely in the same category. I probably would have solved this earlier if I hadn't managed to get the last category much earlier than I usually do.

Purple Answers: Revealed & Explained

I actually managed to solve this category second, but I was fairly prepared to look for it after thinking that FLOP is half of "flip." I managed to get the right category correct, and with this still on my mind, I saw rainforest and prime and realized what they are. I found KINDLE next, and while searching for the last word, I debated whether CREDIT was involved before realizing it had to be river. I'm sure Amazon will have many more branded words, but that's enough for now.
