SOURCES OF VITAMINS | |||
---|---|---|---|
CITRUS | LEAFY GREENS | SUNSHINE | SUPPLEMENTS |
The word SUNSHINE ties into a clever joke, as four entries in this puzzle are reminiscent of Mario video game titles. I was initially surprised that this connection didn’t answer the question. However, upon reevaluating, I reconsidered CITRUS and SUPPLEMENTS, leading me to connect SUNSHINE to Vitamin D. Eventually, I placed LEAFY GREENS, completing the set.

PLACES USED IN RETAIL SUFFIXES | |||
---|---|---|---|
CITY | LAND | TOWN | WORLD |
These terms aren’t frequently used in modern retail names, yet they evoke a sense of gathering and community. I find them more often associated with sectors in amusement parks rather than traditional retail spaces. Perhaps reviving their use in store names might add a nostalgic touch.

AMERICAN FLAG | GALAXY | RED CARPET | UBER RATING |
This category required numerous guesses as I struggled to find the common thread. Initially, I grouped KART with several options until I adjusted my answer, swapping UBER RATING for GALAXY. That shift reminded me of the “star”connection, enabling me to save my puzzle just in the nick of time.
