My approach was somewhat hasty today, as I guessed incorrectly a couple of times before reining it in and checking them off one by one.

The first group I recognized was the one with BASKETBALL MOVES (yellow) due to DUNK and LAYUP. However, not being a big basketball fan, I initially tried those with BOUNCE and LIFT (thinking it was ‘things associated with basketball’ rather than moves specifically), then considered it might be related to volleyball and swapped in PIKE instead.

After making two mistakes, I moved on and identified the FISH category (green). Following this, I noticed _CHILD, which was much easier than the purple designation suggested. Returning to the basketball theme, now that the choices were narrowed down, led me to the answers: FLOATER and THREE were the missing elements. For a change, I managed to solve the final group ahead of time, correctly identifying that it was linked to hair qualities.
