Notes on Today’s Puzzle
The Blue group was the trickiest. VINES refers to clips from Vine, shut down in 2017. SNAPS belong to Snapchat, PINS to Pinterest, TWEETS to Twitter. The Purple group required separating zebra features from horse features: HOOVES, MANE, and TAIL describe any equine, but WHITE STRIPES disambiguates. The Green group’s trap was STROKES, which sounds adjacent to a medical event but belongs squarely on a golf scorecard.
