CONTACT VIA TELEPHONE
- CALL
- DIAL
- PHONE
- RING

This category was somewhat straightforward, but two words—CELL and HORN—could complicate things if you get distracted by other noise-related words. Honestly, it felt unusual not to include CELL given today’s tech-driven world. However, once I grasped the category, it all clicked into place seamlessly.

Green Answers

PARTS OF A CAR
- BELT
- HORN
- MIRROR
- WHEEL

For this category, I dove in without much hesitation, thinking broadly about components found in a car. Noticing BELT and HORN was my starter, and while a moment crossed my mind about clowns, I quickly moved on to the real answers. I found BELT eventually, and it was satisfying.

Blue Answers

LEVELS OF BIOLOGICAL ORGANIZATION
- ATOM
- CELL
- ORGAN
- TISSUE

I felt least certain about the word ORGAN and briefly considered COMPOUND would fit just as well. Nevertheless, taking a chance on ORGAN ended up fitting nicely. These concepts revolve around foundational components of larger systems. The cohesion of the puzzle made it gratifying.

- BIGFOOT
- COMPOUND
- INSTAGRAM
- THERMOMETER

I couldn’t help but chuckle that BIGFOOT made the list, introducing a whimsical take on measurement. Imagining how historical accuracy could shift from simply measuring foot sizes based on an elusive creature made me consider how differently we might perceive our world.
