Hints — one at a time

Today's board moves from words meaning a large quantity of something, to equipment you need to play table tennis, to pieces of a judge's traditional courtroom outfit, and finally to things that follow the word "silent."

Yellow (easiest): each of these means a large or sizable quantity.
Hint 3 of 5
Green: each of these is something you'd need to set up a game of ping pong.
Hint 4 of 5
Blue: each of these is a piece of a judge's traditional robe-and-gavel look.
Hint 5 of 5
Purple (hardest): each of these follows the word "silent" — silent auction, silent film, silent partner, silent treatment.
