Yellow Answers: Revealed & Explained

DELI BREAD OPTIONS BUN HERO ROLL WRAP

Although it wasn't a flawless victory in today's game, we did score each category in the order the game denotes as easiest to hardest. Yellow was first, WRAP and HERO were the two words that eventually started the idea for us.

We did lose an attempt trying to make the rhyming words work. WRAP, YAP, TRAP, SNAP, CLAP, and TAP were all focused on for way too long. The four-letter words were tried but met with a loss. A second attempt was lost trying to make hairstyles work with WRAP, BUN, BOB, and CHOPS.

SLANG FOR MOUTH CHOPS KISSER TRAP YAP

After the yellow category was scored it became a bit easier to ignore the rhymes. KISSER and TRAP were the two words that started us down the 'Mouth' category. CHOPS didn't quite make sense in our head, but it was the only one that might fit. We went for it and scored the win.

Google later proved that CHOPS is indeed something people use to say mouth.
