| Color | Category | Answers |
|---|---|---|
| Yellow | THINGS THAT ARE WHITE | BABY POWDER, MILK, POLAR BEAR, SNOW |
| Green | KINDS OF LETTUCE | BUTTER, ICEBERG, LEAF, ROMAINE |
| Blue | “BATMAN” VILLAINS | BANE, JOKER, PENGUIN, SCARECROW |
| Purple | THEY HAVE LITERAL/IDIOMATIC EARS | CORNFIELD, MUSICIANS, PITCHERS, WALLS |
Why the purple group fits
This category hinges on several meanings of “ears”: a cornfield has ears of corn, musicians can have an ear for music, pitchers have ears in the sense of handles, and walls have ears in the familiar idiom.
Where the word overlaps can mislead
- ICEBERG may first bring glaciers to mind, but here it is a kind of lettuce.
- SCARECROW and CORNFIELD can seem like a natural pair, but they belong to different categories.
- WALLS might look like a fit for the white group; its intended connection is the “walls have ears” idiom.
