How to approach the trickier groups
Keep an eye out for words with more than one use
HERTZ, MOLE, SECOND, and VOLT are all units, though they measure different things. Seeing the set as measurement vocabulary helps avoid treating each word as an unrelated reference.
Try proper-name associations after the broader meanings
NATIONAL, RAY, TIGER, and TWIN point to MLB teams: the Washington Nationals, Tampa Bay Rays, Detroit Tigers, and Minnesota Twins. The purple set also depends on recognizing titles: BOARDWALK Empire, CURB Your Enthusiasm, GAME of Thrones, and SILICON Valley.
