Answers for June 8, 2025
| Category | Words |
|---|---|
| Persist | HOLD, LAST, STAND, STAY |
| Animal metaphors in economics | BEAR, BULL, DOVE, HAWK |
| Sidebar information on a person’s Wikipedia page | BORN, EDUCATION, OCCUPATION, SPOUSE |
| Homophones of slang for money | BRED (“bread”), CACHE (“cash”), DOE (“dough”), LUTE (“loot”) |
Why the money group is easy to miss
The last group depends on sound rather than spelling: BRED sounds like “bread,” CACHE like “cash,” DOE like “dough,” and LUTE like “loot.” The tiles are not the slang terms themselves; each is a homophone.
