Yellow Answers: Revealed & Explained

EARLY ITERATION

DRAFT

OUTLINE

PLAN

SKETCH

Yellow was our second category score for the day, we actually scored the purple category first. It's always a treat when you get the hardest one first. We did end up wasting an attempt or two on making SUP and YO work with other words, but once we dismissed that it went much quicker. For yellow though, DRAFT and SKETCH were the words that got us started on this one. It all quickly came together once we saw how OUTLINE fit in as well.

ENJOY A MEAL

DINE

FEAST

FEED

SUP

Okay, we need to talk about this one. SUP? No one uses SUP to mean "Enjoy A Meal." Is this like the root of "Supper"? I had to Google it just to see and it's defined as "take (drink or liquid food) by sips or spoonfuls." Okay, I guess. This will now be the word I use for food-related anything. "Katie, come on in and sup."
