If you’re here just to grab a few hints before diving into the puzzle yourself, you’re in the right spot. This puzzle has its fair share of tricky words—some might even lull you into thinking they fit into various categories. If you need additional help, just scroll down for more tips. Otherwise, check out the four hints below:

• One category includes items used to indicate ownership.
• Another category comprises items featured in a specific genre.
• A further category involves various destinations within the same nation.
• A final category features items that are intentionally misspelled to throw you off.

Yellow Answers: Unveiled & Explained

I found this category to be the easiest one today, as it didn’t overlap much with the others. The words LABEL and STAMP are nearly synonymous, and the rest share similar meanings. If you’re not very familiar with postal terminology, this might be easier or more complex for you. However, having helped my dad run his online business, I know a thing or two about various stamps and sealing packages quite well.

Green Answers: Unveiled & Explained

This category started to get complicated, as some of the names like BROWN and DYLAN can fit into multiple categories. BROWN, in particular, would work for categories that don’t exist in today’s puzzle, which could confuse players. Several words could apply to cities, which makes the task even trickier.

Blue Answers: Unveiled & Explained

This category also presented some overlap, leading to more than a few false entries that could confuse players. For instance, there are numerous names from the popular series Severance that could belong in other categories without any issue, which adds to the complexity of the puzzle.

Purple Answers: Unveiled & Explained

Some terms could belong to other fictional names as well, leading to potential frustration given that one or two entries might seem unfair due to their fictitious nature. While the misspelled words are notoriously difficult, they also distract players by relying on different terms than what the puzzle is asking for. Nevertheless, it’s possible to conquer this challenge; it just requires a bit more effort.
