Why the groupings fit
Yellow: Remove, as body hair
LASER, PLUCK, THREAD and WAX are ways to remove body hair.
Green: Twist around
COIL, SPOOL, WIND and WRAP all describe winding or turning something around something else.
Rank #2
Blue: Things made of cells
HONEYCOMB, ORGANISM, SOLAR PANEL and SPREADSHEET can each be understood as made up of cells.
Purple: B-___
Putting B before BALL, MOVIE, SCHOOL and VITAMIN gives “B-ball,” “B-movie,” “B-school” and “B-vitamin.”
