I was able to identify one of the categories, the one that included LOVING.

this is "gettable" I promise.

Clue. The remaining non-yellow categories are:

Wall

Door

Chair

IOW, those three words are each a different color

I was sure I was on to something with CAR, FLOOR, and TURTLE. (If only there was also EAR.)

Gave up at 2Y-23N...

You'd think knowing two don't belong together and only six left
I wouldn't have swung and missed as much as I did.

Stop stealing my ideas. I've already loaded my puzzle for tomorrow.

I don't see any field on that platform to limit guesses.

I thought it was fun! I was stuck on one of them for a while. I knew three of the four easily, but didn't recognize the fourth word as being with that group. (Trying to avoid a spoiler!)

Nice job!

I had no clue on any of them but the one I got early on but suddenly remembered one of Edgys categories and tried it on Lunchy’s and it worked.
I never would have got that last one.

Great job both of you!

I got literally none of them. Might as well have been all Portugese words.

This puzzle is easier than the last I think but was harder to make
