CHASE |
HUNT |
QUEST |
SEARCH |
Seeing CHASE and HUNT listed together made us think that there was potential there. SEARCH made the potential more possible, but the other words were all a bit off. QUEST made the most sense, and it did happen to be the right one, even if it does not quite match the tone and word usage of the others.

ROMANTIC LETTER SIGN-OFFS |

ALWAYS |
KISSES |
LOVE |
YOURS |
It was a little tricky to put these words together as YOURS and MINE looked like they had to go together at first glance. However, there were no other words that seemed to go with them, and KISSES, ALWAYS, and LOVE hinted at a romantic sentiment of some kind. YOURS fit into this group much more than MINE did, and it is a relief to know that is a correct assumption now that we also know the category.

CAMP |

SIDE |
WING |
This was a little tricky as for anyone who has been on a college campus, RUSH could also fit into this category with it’s references to Greek life. SIDE and WING also feel a bit forced into this category, which is unfortunate, but that can make it hard to guess the correct answers. The last category, for instance, is challenging but feels more fair once you know the category they were going for.

BOND |
LEAF |
MINE |
RUSH |
As stated, this category feels a lot more clear even if it is a very challenging one to guess without knowing what you are going for. They seem disconnected, but putting GOLD in front of MINE and RUSH make the words feel connected in multiple ways. BOND is also something you can have, and gold LEAF is something made out of gold. This feels a lot more of an a-ha moment than the previous category, even when you get it wrong.
