I almost had the green category figured out, but I couldn't find the fourth word because the blue category was a complete mystery to me. I had no idea what blue could have been, and I'm still baffled even after being shown the answer.

Tap for spoiler

The Gators, The Sooners, The Volunteers, and The Wolverines are all US college basketball teams. I don’t follow college sports so it took me a second too.

As a non-American who is barely aware of even professional sports, there was no way I was getting that.

Also, who calls their sports club "The Sooners?"

It’s a nickname given to people who would “jump the gun” during Oklahoma land rush events, back when they were selling off plots of farmland.

Ok, that green one really had me mad. There were a couple yellow ones that fit.

Somehow I got it first try. I didn’t recognize the others.

Blue was harder for me than purple.

Because I don’t know shit about college teams. 🙄

Solved correctly in Copilot then copied it across wrong. Had to do a lot of googling to figure out what went into blue, and only got purple from the leftovers.
