The yellows fall into place first. DEAL, SALE, and SPECIAL belong together. PROMOTION completes that set. These feel familiar — the words you’d see on a coupon flyer. It’s the gentlest entry point in today’s grid.
Then comes the green set. Words like BUG and NETTLE start to buzz with irritation. STEAM (as in “blow off some…”) makes sense. RUFFLE takes a moment, but the idiom “ruffle your feathers” seals the deal.
Poker fans recognize the blues quickly: CALL, CHECK, FOLD, RAISE. These are textbook moves around a felt table. Easy to overlook if you’re not a card player, but once spotted, it locks into place.
The purples are the final twist. GAS and BRAKES both relate to driving. FIST might feel like a stretch, but think “pump your fist” in celebration. IRON? Think gym reps. All pumpable, in their own right.
