Hints — one at a time

Hint 1 of 5

Today's board moves from exaggerated stories, to parts of an undergarment, to things linked to evergreen trees, and finally to words that start with the names of Disney characters.

Hint 2 of 5

Yellow (easiest): each of these is a term for an elaborate, often exaggerated or made-up story.

Hint 3 of 5

Green: each of these is a component you'd find on a piece of women's underwear.

Hint 4 of 5

Blue: each of these is something commonly associated with the scent or presence of pine trees.

Hint 5 of 5

Purple (hardest): the beginning of each of these words or phrases spells out the name of a Disney character.
