How today's puzzle plays
Yellow — CALM: CONTENT, PEACEFUL, PLACID, SERENE.
Green — ADJECTIVES FOR MATURE CONTENT: EXPLICIT, GRAPHIC, STRONG, SUGGESTIVE.
Blue — KINDS OF BOARDS: ADVISORY, CHESS, IRONING, MESSAGE.
Purple — ENDING IN WAYS TO TEMPORARILY ACQUIRE: PARENT, PLEASE, SAPPHIRE, SLOAN.
Purple groups often depend on how a word is spelled or what it completes, so read the leftovers as letters, not meanings.
