How today's puzzle plays

Yellow — FOLLOWS, AS RULES: HEEDS, MINDS, REGARDS, RESPECTS.

Green — OUTDO: BEST, ECLIPSE, SURPASS, TOP.

Blue — THINGS THAT COME IN THREES: CHEERS, STOOGES, STRIKES, WISHES.

Purple — ENDING IN ACTORS NAMED TOM: AUTOCRUISE, FOOLHARDY, MULHOLLAND, THANKS.

Purple groups often depend on how a word is spelled or what it completes, so read the leftovers as letters, not meanings.
