2. Pick-off the common denominator for each group
3. Catch the relation of these to hit the one-word winner!

1. Shades of Red perhaps? Or just Red.
2. Type A or O (blood?)
3. Sellers (pink panther?)
4. eternal love?
5. Probably a baseball reference (out of my league)

Spoiler for Hints

1.Red will do it. That’s half
2.Close. Wrong vowel
3.Nope. Think how they do it in crossword puzzles.
4.It’s a hit? Oooo! Foul ball. Reverse!
5.Close. Wrong sport.

You’re on the right track. Good job.
