How today's puzzle plays
Yellow — FINANCE: BACK, BANKROLL, FUND, SUPPORT.
Green — FINGERS: INDEX, LITTLE, MIDDLE, RING.
Blue — CUSTOMARY: COMMON, ROUTINE, STANDARD, STOCK.
Purple — PRIME ___: NUMBER, REAL ESTATE, RIB, TIME.
The purple title has a blank in it, so each purple word completes the phrase PRIME ___ rather than sharing a meaning.
When two words feel interchangeable, only one of them belongs — test the group that has no spare candidate first.
