Why the words fit
Yellow: NO THANKS
LATER, NAH, NEXT TIME, and PASS are conversational ways to decline an offer or invitation.
Green: KINDS OF NUMBERS
EVEN, IRRATIONAL, PERFECT, and PRIME are mathematical classifications. An even integer is divisible by two; an irrational number cannot be expressed as a ratio of integers. A perfect number equals the sum of its positive divisors other than itself, while a prime number has exactly two positive divisors: 1 and itself. [Forbes]
Blue: KINDS OF WALLS
BERLIN refers to the Berlin Wall, BRICK to a wall material, FOURTH to the theatrical fourth wall, and GREAT to the Great Wall of China. [Forbes]
Purple: HOMOPHONES OF NON-NUMERIC AMOUNTS
AWL sounds like “all,” NUN like “none,” PHEW like “few,” and SUM like “some.” Each spoken word points to an amount, but not a number category. [Forbes]

SUM is a mathematical word, so it may seem to belong with the number types. In this grid, its intended connection is the sound of “some,” which completes the purple group. [Forbes]
