Hints — one at a time
Hint 1 of 5
Today's board mixes round objects, jittery feelings, spots you'd find at an airport, and words hiding a math term at the end.
Hint 2 of 5
One easy group covers things that are basically ball-shaped — a piece of sports equipment, a model of Earth, a small glass toy, and a citrus fruit.
Hint 3 of 5
Another set of words all describe being keyed up or on edge, whether from nerves, fever, or too much energy.
Hint 4 of 5
A third group names areas you'd walk through or see at an airport, from where planes park to where you board.
Hint 5 of 5
The trickiest four each end with a geometry term buried inside — look for ANGLE, LINE, POINT, and PLANE hiding at the tail end of longer words.
