Hints — one at a time

Hint 1 of 5

Today's board moves from places you'd go to work out, to tools you'd use to serve a nice bottle of wine, to brands that use a bunny rabbit as their mascot, and finally to words you'd expect to see printed on a cowboy-era wanted poster.

Hint 2 of 5

Yellow (easiest): each of these is a place you could join or visit to exercise and stay fit.

Hint 3 of 5

Green: each of these is a gadget or tool you'd use when opening or serving a bottle of wine.

Hint 4 of 5

Blue: picture the hopping rabbit or bunny logo tied to each of these well-known brands.

Hint 5 of 5

Purple (hardest): each of these words could appear printed on an old frontier-style poster offering a bounty for a criminal.
