Puzzle #1191The progression follows the verified color order from yellow through green and blue to purple. · CANARY, COOT, GOOSE, and TEAL may suggest a four-bird set, but COOT, GOOSE, and TEAL belong with LOON under WATERBIRDS, while CANARY belongs under INFORMANT.Puzzle #1190The yellow group appears first in the verified order, followed by green, blue, and purple; the difficulty notes stay tied to that order rather than adding subjective labels. · GARFIELD and ODIE can suggest the Garfield comic-strip characters, but they belong to different official groups here: GARFIELD is with U.S. presidents, while ODIE is with words that sound like two letters.Puzzle #1189The verified order moves from yellow through green and blue to purple, with the final group requiring a shared word after each entry. · Several entries can suggest broad ideas such as signs, displays, or messages, but those impressions do not produce a verified four-word category. For example, POSTER and SPAMMER already share PEOPLE IN AN ONLINE FORUM, while BUMPER STICKER belongs with the car-personalization entries and SPOILER completes ___ ALERT.
