Today's Answers

This puzzle is built around everyday casual slang and loose conversational uses. Group the words by meaning: one set is about really liking something, one set is about a social group or hangout circle, one set points to calm or quiet, and one set uses more casual, less direct slang meanings. The categories are designed to have one clear solution, but the last group is the trickiest, so it helps to compare how the words are used in normal speech.

These notes explain the answer in plain English. Read the group explanation first, then review each slang word or phrase in the table below.

How to Review the Answers

Do not only memorize the translation. Try to remember the situation. For example, a word about agreement may appear when friends make plans, while a word about suspicion may appear when something feels strange or not trustworthy.
