Hints — one at a time

Hint 1 of 5

Today's board moves from things colored like a warning sign, to communities where one opinion just bounces back and forth, to a comic artist's toolkit, and finally to brand logos shaped like triangles.

Hint 2 of 5

Yellow (easiest): each item shares the same bold color combination you'd see on a hazard sign or a certain comic-strip character.

Hint 3 of 5

Green: these all describe a closed-off group or environment where the same viewpoint just keeps getting repeated back.

Hint 4 of 5

Blue: everything here is equipment a comic illustrator reaches for at the drawing table.

Hint 5 of 5

Purple (hardest): each of these brands displays a triangle somewhere in its logo.
