The complete 16-word grid
BASH, BAG, COLOR, SACK, RECEPTION, BLOWOUT, LAND, PAN, CUT, BLAST, YARD, SCORE, SLAM, SNAG, TRIM, ATTEMPT.
Why the groupings can be tricky
Several words have familiar meanings in more than one setting. COLOR and CUT fit a salon; BAG, LAND, SCORE, and SNAG can all mean to obtain; and SACK and YARD also have everyday uses beyond football. Look for four-word clusters united by the same meaning or context, then check whether the apparent football terms form their own group: ATTEMPT, RECEPTION, SACK, and YARD.
