Hex basically means to cast a spell on or bewitch someone, so with this meaning, words like Spell and Jinx naturally came up with Hex.

Meanwhile, the term “pox” has also been used figuratively to mean a curse or plague.

For example, “a pox upon you” could be used as an old-fashioned curse, wishing harm or bad luck on someone.

Later, grouping out all these words, I got the green group titled ” Curse. “

Now that only 8 words remained, I closely analyzed them and figured out some words that were characters from Toy Story.

The first word that caught my attention was “Slinky,” which refers to the Slinky Dog from the Toy Story series.

The word Hamm basically means “land in a river bend” as per old English, but in today’s game, it refers to the wisecracking piggy bank character “Hamm” from the Toy Story series.

Likewise, the actual meaning of Rex is a male sovereign, ruler of a kingdom, but in today’s game, it refers to the green dinosaur “Rex” from the Toy Story series.

The last word for the blue group titled “Toy Story” Characters, Familiarly, was Buzz, referring to Buzz Lightyear, a superhero action figure from an in-universe media franchise.
