The green category highlights descriptors for types of home runs. Ballon d'Or Féminin winners comprise the blue category. Lastly, homophones of Hall of Fame quarterbacks make up the purple category.\n\nThese categories, colored from easiest to most challenging, contain 16 words each. Your mission is to identify the common thread linking four of these words within each category. Accurate categorizations clear those words from the board, with up to four incorrect guesses allowed before the game ends.",
