I thought so today SAVE and LIFT were good enough tips for this category. Adding FULFILL and HONOR to this category didn't feel too difficult, but it wasn't the first category I tackled. I thought the words did a good enough job of hiding among the others, especially when I hadn't solved any of the categories yet. That being said, it felt pretty simple after that, but I could see words like JUSTICE potentially throwing a wrench into the mix.

It's harder when you look at these words, but it was actually the first category I tackled. Maybe it's my obsession with quilting, but I saw a quilt and a QUILT and thought there might be something there. Looking around, SHAM, which is not a commonly used word, may be some kind of beddingand i have so many ATMA blankets but it's not even funny. This made this category a bit easier to understand, although I wouldn't have been if I hadn't been familiar with this false usage.

This category was slightly easier than my passion for card games and maybe my family just played UNO. UNO is a game that includes all these precise actionsexcept you can't really pass. However, it is a well-known card game mechanic in something like Lorca. My growing shelves full of card games helped me here, and I was happy to tackle this one faster than I have in a while, though that's mostly because it's more of a card game category than sports.

To be honest, these were all words that I don't often look at during puzzles in this game today. I'm not sure I would have won this category if it hadn't been for the latter, although I know enough to finally think about the structure of a country's politics. ENERGY is perhaps the odd one out because the other three are a bit more prominent in the news and culture, but I'm so glad I ignored those words until the end.
