BONUS, EQUITY, PROMOTION, RAISE
Green: Disregard
DISCOUNT, FORGET, IGNORE, OVERLOOK
Here, DISCOUNT is a verb meaning to disregard or dismiss, not just a word for a reduced price.
Blue: Kinds of crackers
ANIMAL, CLUB, GOLDFISH, RITZ
Purple: Featured in “Eloise”
ELOISE, PLAZA, PUG, TURTLE
Why the groups can be tricky
DISCOUNT can look like a shopping term, but this grid uses its verb sense: to dismiss or disregard something. In the blue group, “cracker” covers the named varieties Animal, Club, Goldfish, and Ritz. The purple set refers to elements featured in Eloise, bringing together the title character, the Plaza, a pug, and a turtle.
