How today's puzzle plays
Yellow — WAYS TO PRESERVE FOOD: CURE, DRY, PICKLE, SMOKE.
Green — THINGS YOU CAN SCORE IN SPORTS: BASKET, GOAL, RUN, TOUCHDOWN.
Blue — LOWEST PART: BASE, BOTTOM, FOOT, FOUNDATION.
Purple — LOW LANDFORMS WITH A LETTER CHANGED: CANNON, FORGE, RACINE, VOLLEY.
Purple groups often depend on how a word is spelled or what it completes, so read the leftovers as letters, not meanings.
