Today's Answers

The puzzle has four clean themes. One set describes success or approval: nailed it, so far so good, in the clear, and good to go. Another set is about making an attempt or taking a chance: give it a shot, try your luck, take a stab, and take a swing. A third set is about splitting expenses: split the bill, go dutch, chip in, and pitch in. The last set describes being extremely full after eating: food coma, stuffed, full to the brim, and bursting at the seams.

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