Pop-Up Mystery Categories

1. Starting with the visible clue ILLY, unscramble each common word as it pops up.
2. Criss-cross the screen, solving the scrambles, then solve the mystery categories that generate each column of words. Each category is a single word that logically relates to all ten words in its column. Can you solve them?
If a scramble has more than one possible answer, you must search until you find the correct one!

I got the actual Categories by guessing random words, but the scrambled words took me all of the time given! I was stuck on BATHE.

I had over 3 minutes left. Once you guess the categories, it really helps in unscrambling the words. Love these quizzes.
