Each clue is a word that precedes “face” to make a familiar phrase.
Explanation
Each clue is a word that precedes “face” to make a familiar phrase.
The puzzle uses the “types‑of” pattern: every hidden word is a type of “face” when paired with that noun. Together they create well‑known compound phrases such as poker face, clock face, mountain face, baby face, and smiley face, so the shared label is “Types of “face”.”
-
poker
"poker" forms the phrase "poker face". -
clock
"clock" forms the phrase "clock face". -
mountain
"mountain" forms the phrase "mountain face". -
baby
"baby" forms the phrase "baby face". -
smiley
"smiley" forms the phrase "smiley face".
How to solve this answer
Types Of
Each clue is a member or example of the group the answer names. You are naming the set, not another example.
Espresso, cappuccino, and mocha are all coffee drinks. The answer names the group they belong to.
Medium
Clues need a second look or a shift in angle. The link is fair, but the first reading of one or two clues usually misleads.
Wordplay
Puzzles that lean on double meanings, homophones, prefixes, suffixes, and the way English words bend. Read each clue twice before you trust the first reading.
Types Of and Things Associated With look similar from the outside. The difference is membership. In Types Of, each clue literally is a kind of the answer. In Associated, the clues merely hang around the topic.
Pick the narrowest honest label that covers all five clues. Too broad and the game rejects it. Too narrow and clue five falls outside the fence.
