«AWESOME!»

COOL

NICE

SICK

SWEET

This one was a little tricky, mainly because KIND was the red herring for this category. However, once we connected SICK and COOL as both meaning «Awesome» we were able to pair it with NICE and SICK, and in that context KIND no longer fit in. It was the first category we were able to solve today.

VARIETY

KIND

SORT

STYLE

TYPE

Once KIND was revealed not to be in the previous category, it was easy to connect KIND, SORT, and TYPE. Looking at the other words, nothing else but STYLE seemed to fit and luckily we were correct. It was the easiest category to sort out for this puzzle simply because any other words that would have gotten mixed in were taken up by the previous one.
